I've tried leaving comments on your lovely work via my iPad but for some reason they are not registering on your blog (only just caught up with this!) so I've come to the desktop to see if I can post here more successfully. I have some embossing folders and some core cards, so I am going to give this a go because the effect you have here is just lovely. The whole page just shimmers - as does your lovely daughter!

These lovely soft smudgey and vintage colours are super - I very much like your wooden additions. And a great reminder of everything you have packed into this very full month! Your planned trip sounds wonderful ...

I am thinking of you all across The Pond, as we affectionately call it here. Glad to hear your immediate family are fine and hoping to hear that their friend is too. We are all shocked and saddened over here and sending our support.

Thank-you! and glad you liked the mug trim - I made it myself just using lines and shapes in Keynote :).

I admire your having iced tea so soon in the year, Gail! And I've much enjoyed your lovely relaxed description of catch-up time when you have the house to yourself ... Hoping the lawns are going to thrive this year! And thank-you so much for joining in and linking up - it's a pleasure to see you :).

Wonderful story and sketch, Gail and how special that it survived all this time to bear witness to his talent. I keep thinking of how far it has travelled - do keep it safe!

Lovely and bang on trend with that stylish tag/flag ... The strong colour combination really shows up the clean bold lines of it.
Glad to see you posting again! Was hoping all was OK - and you've clearly had lots of Exciting Things to Be Getting On With :). Looking forward to the publication!

Oh, it seems so final to say good bye to your wedding dress! How well it has kept ... What made you decide? I'm saying hello to a bout of determined spring-cleaning and to clearing out the lean-to. Looking at brochures sounds nice :).

What a glorious photo of you all! So nice to see you all smiling together :). And that's some serious snow ... I covet that weather wooden pear like you wouldn't believe!

What a stunning photo your last one is! Very beautiful ... And lovely to read how much he enjoys exploring his growing independence. Yes, going back to R. might feel lke a return to winter!
Hi Jo! Yes, these new aspects of technology are really interesting, and glad to hear of others using them too. You can also make items/photos in your storage-in-the-cloud box available to invited others, so as a family we can share our photos easily across many miles. Nice to see you and thank-you for popping in :).
Glad you liked it, Miriam :). As I am not very keen on the sound of my own voice, it might be a while before I ever do a video! Thank-you for all your encouragement.
Hi Abi, and glad you found it useful :). I've downloaded Instagram to my iphone to have a play, and (even though I declined all its attempts to get me to share my photo of yet more snow here!) it saved the photo to my Camera Roll, and opened a new album for me automatically called Instagram with the photo inside it already. So this should work fine for you too when you get your iphone. Do you have any other Apple devices, like a desktop, laptop or ipad? If you don't, then your phone will have nowhere to stream your photos to. But you could email a photo to yourself so you could pick it up on your computer, and pop it into your Project Life. Or you could get a free Dropbox account (which is in the 'cloud') and then you can open up Dropbox on your computer and download them from there. If that brings up any other questions, then do let me know!
It is just fantastic, Suzanna! Your witty title completes the page perfectly ... Those chevrons are perfect with the triangles. You are very clever!

Those colours go so well together and the little gems underneath is a nice little touch which echoes your scheme, It does sound fiddly ... but such a great result! And a lovely friend :).

Comfort food with all that snow and rain sounds just the ticket :). Hope you enjoy starting your Project Life with a new kit and looking forward to the first pages ...

Your fussy cutting and patience is amazing! That's such a sweet photo (Pudgy? I don't don't see it!) ... and I really like the cut-out clouds too. Just the thing for a cold grey day - thank-you!

Such a bright and detailed shots, that last one especially - and so sharp. I can see why this lifts your spirits on bleak days ...
I like your sentiment! And that Cameo cut-out is so very attractive ... Lovely to see both of you!

The call-outs and speech bubbles work so well for your happy and cheery page - just look at that smile :). Great design which you really made your own.
