Oh, Meg - that frame is perfect for the graphic - but if you would kindly remove it, and fax me the centerpiece, I would be ever so greatful! (It will look so lovely on my table!)

Or, just leave the frame on, and I will use it for the family portrait!

Great Graphic Billie! Absolutely LOVE it!!!!!

Good morning, Kitty Mittens.

Kitty, your poem is wonderful.
Thank you for sharing it with Amy's Place.
That is a lovely Texas sky.

Thank you for the blessings you bring to us.

Have a Magnificient Monday.

If my hunch is right - there will be a LOT of snow pictures.
I think we may get six inches here.

(I love to see snow on the cactus!)

[MEG33]

LOL..If only I could decorate my house from the internet!
Love the angel in the snow.

Good morning, Meg.
Your Sunday Opening featuring JOHNN's poem was beautiful.
Thank you for sharing the lovely graphic and JOHNN's wonderful poem with us.

Have a Marvelous Monday.

Saying prayers for your cousin’s family, Jaycee.

This is so sad when someone so young dies unexpectedly. This time of the year makes it that much more difficult.

[JustAmy]

Beautiful, Polly. Thank you.

[yorkie]

Thanks, Polly. I have it framed in my living room, and scanned it for Marissa, as she loved my yard, and stories about all the ‘critters’ that roam here.

It was taken about four or five years ago, and everyone that sees it thinks it is photo-shopped or staged. I promise - it’s NOT.

[JustAmy]

Marissa is at school; but I will let her read your poem when she gets home.
It is a Perfect 10! :)

I have saved it with all of her other poems written by you and CG.
I hope to get her profile page updated after Christmas.
I would like to add these birthday poems there.

Thank you for remembering!

Have a beautiful Monday.

Your table is set, right by the fireplace!

[MEG33]

You are welcome

Lovely bird graphic, Amy.

[jaycee]

Thank you, Amy! And I agree December deaths are extremely hard. And from what I hear there seems to be more deaths in the month of December.

That deer is so beautiful....I won’t tell my son as he would wanna grab his gun and go shoot it. And the other son would want to shoot him for doing it.....LOL!

I am slow catching up, but just got back in from lunch and see posts from today's opening with such nice compliments on the graphic - the song of course, is the one that brought Susan to fame on Britain's Got Talent, and it has been so rewarding and fun to share some of the tracks from her first album with Amy's Place, because they just grab at my heart and I can see they do the same to/for you!

Amy found the original graphics for Thursday's "Daydream Believer", today's "Dreamed a Dream", and the next and last one, which I have prepared for tomorrow. So thank you, Amy, for giving me such beautiful graphics to 'work with' for such a beautiful voice!

Lori, I wanted to tell you the 'secret' to the young woman/older woman (because I know that you can do similar cut & paste to add to or otherwise change a graphic).

I traced the woman and saved it as a separate object, then went back to the original and blurred the woman in that picture. I found another 'profile' of a young woman and cut just the face out and pasted it on the woman's face, transparifying a little and working with the skin color to blend with the original blurred woman's skin. Then put the saved copy of the original woman back on the picture, moving it a little to the right and front just a tad. Anyway, I thought you'd like to know what I did. :)

Now, back to Friday or Saturday's posts - some I just hafta comment on! :)

Thanks, Billie. I remain impressed. Not so much that you did it, because we all know you can work miracles with graphics, but that your creative mind came up with the idea of creating that graphic. :-)
