Description: Lems and I have been friends for something like 27 years, but we have known each other for 30 years. She was one of my bridesmaids, she is my wifey, my ride or die. And I am THRILLED that she has just arrived for 3 weeks, so I'll be missing for a little while.

Description: Spring has finally sprung in Tampa! I looked back over the week starting 18th April (Friday) and it was action packed.

Description: With a tweak or two, I got the perfect palette :) [url=https://flic.kr/p/2qZxCcz][img]https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54472465495_28ae4e7d94_m.jpg[/img][/url][url=https://flic.kr/p/2qZxCcz] I took this photo of my beautiful (inside and out) goddaughter Amy-Jo when she came to visit (with her mum) last summer. I had just been laid off and it was perfect timing and I can't believe she is going to be 30 this year.

Description: LOL, fantastic idea for a challenge. I am a HUGE ship nerd. I am the person on cruises telling you all the facts about the ship we are on and any other ship in port. I get giddy with excitement when we get to a port that holds 6 ships!! This is all my Daddy's fault, he made me a ship nerd. It is a passion we share, one of many nerdy pursuits we love.

by: ClaireG

Description: I had a lot of fun creating this layout. I had never created cutouts in Photoshop before, it wasn't as hard as I thought it was. Clint Catwood lives for the sunshine, he just loves being warm. He likes his little space in my home office in front of the window and can snooze there for ages.

Description: Hi! I have been a stranger, because I spent Jan prepping my life for the arrival of my parents at the end of Jan. We went on a cruise for the first 7 days of their trip and then hung out in Tampa for the remaining 7 days. The cruise was a lot of fun, as you can tell from this layout. Daddy's 'brain freezes' obsession was the highlight of the trip for me. Soco always surprises me with her kits, this is a re-release and surprisingly it was not one I had!

We had such a great time and he is converted, as long as we stick with the smaller ships, which I actually love more than the mega ships.
