Pat looking at your page one would never guess that you found it a challenge. You have set it out so nicely and I love how you have done the monthly dates. Your journaling was interesting to read - I cannot even imagine what 8" of snow would be like but I am sure I would love frolicing in it.
It is always a lovely sense of achievement when a painting job looks as good as one imagined. I am glad you are pleased with yours. Birthdays and Anniversary's are always lovely celebrations and remembering the birthdays of our parents who have passed is always poignant.
I always intend to take heaps of photos at family events but enjoy them so much I rarely do so I understand perfectly. Thank you so much for participating in the challenge.

Gorgeous page - love the framed journaling and the little calendar sheets for every month.
