OMG! how awful...what is up with people!!!

 OMG Dawn, I used to have my scrapbook room in my unfinished basement also.  I just moved back upstairs after DD finally moved out.  I am in the midst of fixing it up.  Can't wait.  I am cleaning today but if I get done soon enough I will give this a try. 

Does it have to be a layout? 

 Here is an adorable mailbox by Janet. http://www.acherryontop.com/i/gallery2/135448-490.jpg http://www.acherryontop.com/i/gallery2/135448-490.jpg Also love this paper lo by ScrappininAK . I am so in awe of people that can do holiday layouts. I sure can't. http://www.acherryontop.com/i/gallery2/1353...

 I think you did an amazing job.  I wish I had a portrait pic of my family to do the same thing this year.  Instead of hand making them paper wise which is still fun.

 How adorable, future male model in the making.  He looks very natural. 

 Love this kit.  Hmm that g.c. is burning a hole in my online pocket.

 Big Hugs to you!!! I can relate as my stepdad passed away 3 wks ago and Thanksgiving was nice but hard of course.  Today I am taking my upset out cleaning the house and online shopping. 

 Oldest son who still lives at home (goes to college locally and works locally - he's 21) wants a small 26" flat screen tv so since I am spending the day cleaning and waiting for the Plumber to get here and DH is off to help set up for the his family reunion tomorrow, I sent both boys out to Ta...

 OMG! love the Snowman cards by Wendeelou.... My mom would die for these. 


Here is the family layout that I like.  Love all the layering of pp and distressing ... by Laura Fiore

 Thanks so much.  First digital layout I had done in a while.  So its in the gallery.  Good night.

 Do we have to link the layouts we do anywhere or just have them in the appropriate gallery for the specific challenge?
Thanks,

 I have read 2 of the 4 books and just loved them.  I can't wait to see it but have committments for the weekend so maybe sometime soon I will go.  I wanted to take my niece as she loves the books too but she is going with her friend.  I don't want to go alone.  An older Mom going by herself to a te...

 ok here the one I love for the Digital Layout.  Was done by Meadow92 "Snow Angel"

I think this photo is just perfect by Scrapy1967. 

 Sending lots of prayers and good thoughts. 

 I will play!!!

 That is just crazy and very tacky looking.  I like the part of the article that says she isn't going to clean or cook, just be taken care of.  WTH?!

 Oh my hope she gets well soon.  She is in a good place to get some care. 

 Prayers for positive results are coming your way plus some {{hugs}}

 Kathy, I just hit 5-0 in Sept this year and it wasn't too bad. All I asked for from DH was to get that dang room done. Well, he went into it twice since then, but I don't see any progress. Guess I should have asked for an expensive gift instead. I'll be 100 by the time the room gets done. Thanks I...

 Dear Santa Baby; I wish for general well being for all in our family after our recent loss of our dad.  I wish for my Mom to continue to be strong and get through the next few months of holidays.  As for myself, I wish to not be so upset with the up and coming big 5-0 birthday in a few weeks.  And ...
