Thank you, Annie! Now I need to try the other lessons. It was fun.

Beautiful work, Annie...as usual. I love the way you find photos on the web if you don't have the photo you need.

 

My road trip was last January from Virginia to Florida. Pickleball related...ambassador's retreat. I used the template from this month's lab but turned off a bunch of layers. I also tried the kidnap alpha part of the Lab lessons. Didn't like the first one I made and changed the colors. Works much better with my page. My friend, Helen, is in the photo with me. She and I played basketball together for years. She is 10 years my junior and eventually I moved up to my own age group. In senior competition you can play down if you choose. She is my "boss" in the pickleball world and a breast cancer survivor. She gifted me the shirt I am wearing. We are both Alpha Females so we do butt heads on occasion. Still we are friends. I will attend the retreat again January, 2020.

Sharon, you are not alone wanting pickleball to be in the Olympics. It takes time to get that done but there is an effort being made.

 

Michele, if you go to USAPA.org and click the places to play tab, then search the area you live, you should find lots of places where pickleball is being played. You should be able to drop in to watch. Also pickleballtournaments.com will help you find tournaments in your area for more competitive play. Most pickleball tournaments are free to watch.

 

Yes, I always share my pages with the subjects. Thuy loved her page.

 

Ladies and Gents, I've said it before and I will say it again...it is a real pleasure to be a part of this group and be able to witness the beautiful art being shown here! Thank you.

I  created the pickleball magazine cover in 2017. The basketball cover was created June, 2019 using a green screen. They were a freebie for the athletes at the National Senior Games. When Ronnie and I are pickleball partners, we are the Onnie team.

Annie said it very well...it is a joy to see all the beautiful work in here. Thank you, Everyone, for your inspiration!

 

Another pickleball page...hope you are not tired of pickleball...there are most likely many more pages in your future...

 

 

K = kaleidoscopic : having complex patterns of colors; multicolored

 

Google, again.

Two pages...pretty much the same. My friend took her kids to Harry Potter World in September. I did these pages for her.

This is powerful info. I didn't receive it until I had tons of scrapbooking stuff and the organization is questionable at best! Welcome, Cyndi. You are smart to start organizing right away.

Welcome, Katrina! You'll find loads of information here, plus lots of friendly folk. Enjoy!
