Loved the reminder to download my most recent pictures for this challenge. DBF and I went to the new Salvador Dali museum last weekend. I pondered on whether to journal or not on this one...so much to say about my impressions of his body of work...too much for a single page. Plus, not being allowed to take photos in the galleries themselves, had no material other than the building itself...which is, also a piece of art. Alas, I've played enough with this one. It is done!

This was my first road trip out of Milan ~ my friend and language exchange partner, Alessandro, decided we should take a day to explore. It was chilly and hazy ... but it made for some great photos. I had a great time playing with this layout! I knew immediately what picture I wanted to use when I saw Angie's freebie...but really wanted to give it that "just-so" aged look. After last weeks texture challenge, I decided to give it another try and after fussing around (yeah, for hours) I ended up with a few happy accidents. I am really pleased with how this turned out ~ now, if I can only remember what I did...........

I played with all kinds of things here. The background paper became what it was with the Impressionist Brush. All of the other elements are extractions from other photographs I have taken. The "poem" was written for a writing challenge I participate in. I love how it all came together!! What a great and fun challenge this was!

I'm not sure of any other way to upload ~ so bear with me. This is the photo I used to create my textured paper ~ it is of a purse I crocheted.

Chloe and Logan ~ born 13 days apart and together since they were 3 years old ~ they don't know each other by any other name but "sister". When they were young, they fancied dressing alike and always got the, "are you twins?" question. They would both snicker, hands covering their mouths, while nodding. Here they are at 19 years old, celebrating Chloe's graduation from Massage Therapy School. I flew to Colorado from Italy for the occasion and had a grand time with my 2 beautiful daughters.
