{welcome summer}


Hi! If you're still checking my blog...thank you. Sorry I haven't been blogging much. I haven't been participating in any challenges (though there is one that is quietly sitting in the back of my mind that I've been meaning [ok...keeping it real: procrastinating] to participate in).

I am, however, currently participating in Elise Blaha's 'Get Crafty' class. This is the second time she's offered it and I heard good things about it so I took the plunge and purchased a spot. So far, so inspiring!

Thanks for stopping by. I hope I post some entries here over the summer but if you don't hear from me, I wish you a great summer!

April 12 of 12 layout

Here's the layout for my April edition of 12 of 12. I've decided, since I've come full circle doing this challenge for a year, this will be my last entry for this challenge. It's been a lot of fun and has helped me develop my photography skills. Thanks again to wonderful Susan, for hosting the 12 of 12 challenge!

as always...Gigi has to be in the middle of the action...

one final layout for this challenge, '12 of Twelve of 12'...

And with that, I'm planning to put all the layouts in one album.

Thanks for stopping by and checking out my 12 of 12. Have a wonderful day!

April

Holy cow....has it really been almost a month since I last posted here? Time flies! Well, yesterday was April 12th so that means it's time for the 12 of 12 challenge. Yesterday was also Easter. This is the week of Passover as well.
If you're playing along, hopefully you've had many opportunities to take lots of pictures yesterday. Pick 12 and put them in a layout or just post them on your blog or Flickr or someplace you can share them with us. I think many times there's something extraordinary to be found, even in the smallest measure, in ordinary moments if we're willing to slow down and look closer. :)
I think the details of the dandelion in this picture looks like a crowd of people holding up a banner or flag.
Have a wonderful day~
