Caro.... I duplicated the photo, changed the top layer to B&W, then selected my rings and did a transparency at 30%. Is this Greek

Hello Grannies!

I really wish I had the time to pop in here more often and keep up with what is going on, but sadly that doesn't seem to happen.

But I knew you would want to see photos of Kim's family when we met at Disneyland recently, (and I would likely be strung up if I didnt share! Lol!) So I thought I'd pop in and linkie this....

I don't know how you ladies keep up in here! I am still lurking - I get an email every morning with all the posts so I get my morning smile and start to my day from all of you!!!

the problem of course is that by the time I get done reading it, I have to be off to work. Y'all better be around in 10 years or so when I retire and have more time!!!

I am off to Mexico today....Mazatlan...finally some new fun pictures to scrap

so will have to catch up when I get back. I hope everyone stays happy and healthy and you all have a great week!

Well, you're certainly headed off in the right direction!

I did get to Mall of America, the week prior to Christmas, 2006. The problem is, when I get to travel with DH, it's always on a moment's notice! BUT, if we ever get to come back that way again - I will certainly make it a point to shout out at you before hand!

oh good to know, Omi.

Wow! You are good Carolyn! You are right it is the 7th.

Hey I have a question, do we need to post our portrait things in both galleries? or just in PAD and link in the portrait thread. Does anybody know?

you could do that to me and wouldn't bug. I hate to dive with my snorkel, I keep my regulator in my mouth, even on the surface. I get such good air time that I don't have to worry about conserving. There has been more than one time when I dive 2 dives with 1 tank, and dh blows through both of his and is red lined.

Now the real question is, did you do a mask?

OK, this is going to be TMI, but I can vouch for Gundi. Superglue was actually invented for use in - let's see, it was either WWII or Vietnam.

Anyway, the medics could take it out on the battlefield and use it to close up wounds quickly without stitching. It wasn't until they found all their tools stuck to the bottom of their bag that they realized it could be used for other things, too. LOL! (You'll have to google the whole story. I just read it somewhere years ago.)

Anyway, we birth at home with a midwife and several of them carry superglue with them for those women who require stitching after the birth. I'm serious. So I'd MUCH rather superglue my toenail back on than to have it in other unmentionable places.

So Gundi is just using Superglue for its original purpose! :clap: Go Gundi!!
