looking back on HAPPY 😄


Looking back on 2018 wasn't a bad year,
more ups than downs. Meeting special friend,
and her hubby, from Ohio whom we had never met
before and spent three glorious days with.
Laughter, food, hugs, just sheer delight. ♥
Darlene is co- owner, of   Double D.
A design team I have been on for three fabulous years
since it stated...
Gesso, stencils, doily and a bit of stitching
on my faithful old Janome.

Entering into
The Studio Challenge....look back
Challenge Yourself...  HAPPY  is my word 😄

It's a treat to see these pictures made into a page, Annie! I know the four of you were having a great time. The pictures don't show the half of it. You and Darlene are like two peas in a pod.

What a great experience to meet your blog friend. I remember meeting my penfriend from the USA back in 2000. We had been writing to each other since we were 14 years old - and we got on like a house on fire! Amazing. Your scrap book page is lovely and a great reminder of a wonderful time. Christine x

A fabulous way to document those special occasions Annie. Creativity can bring the best of people together and now you can share it with even more crafty friends. So nice to think you have been part of the team since the beginning.

OH WOW this is awesome! (love your background color lol) Yes those three days were the highlight of the trip! Well maybe one more highlight were the gorgeous island guys on Bora Bora lol. We still can't thank you & Bill enough for showing us around your beautiful country and I revisit my photos often and especially the video of you on the 'horse' ... OMG what fun we had! Hopefully (Good Lord Willing) we will link up again and have more food, fun and hugs! LOVE YA!! Thanks for doing such a beautiful page layout ...GREAT job!
