WHAT'S NEW AROUND HERE
I'm settled into the norm of teaching, interpreting, and helping people safeguard their photos and videos (for life!) now, so I don't have any big adventures to share since last time. One of the main things I did in the last two weeks was remember my mom. It was her Heaven Day last week. It's been 11 years now since she graduated to heaven. The more time passes, the more I feel how long it's been since I've talked to her, but I learned early on to focus more on what I gained from her and how she blessed my life than what I have lost.
That perspective was a direct result of putting together her life storybook. Before she died, she tasked me with "doing something with" a few boxes of photos and mementoes. Little did either of us know how incredibly healing that would be for me.
Now off to the spotlights: the 3 most-visited, the Lucky Star, and the Host's Choice.

Thanks for another great party, Jennifer! Wishing you a wonderful start to a new school year. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on Forever Cloud, too - I always learn so much about the digital world from you (which has definitely been an areaI continue to grow in). Have a wonderful getaway, too!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Laura! I love hearing this! :) And thanks for your well-wishes on the school year and getaway. So happy you're participating in the linkup. We love seeing the creative ideas you have to share.
DeleteThank you so much for the feature, I so appreciate it. I added your badge to my blog. Your trip looks amazing! I would love to go to London.
ReplyDeleteOf course--it was a well-loved post. :) Thanks for adding the badge to your blog--it's always nice to celebrate and it's also great to reach more bloggers. Thanks for being part of our linkup here! Yes, it was such a fun trip. I just love London. I was surprised at how enamored I am now with the Isle of Wight and Dover, too!
DeleteJennifer, as always, thank you for hosting this wonderful link-up. Happy 16th blog-versary! I love visiting your blog, and you always share great information. Have a great week.
ReplyDeleteI love hearing that, Stephanie. :) Thank you kindly! Have a great week, too.
DeleteHappy November, Jennifer AND Happy Blogiversary, too! I will look forward to your upcoming scrapbook series and I know Laurie (my blogging partner) will, too! You always have the best ideas for preserving our memories! Thanks for the party!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Laura. :) I really appreciate that. I'm glad you (and Laurie) will look forward to my new series. It's pretty simple, but I'm excited to share. I'm so glad you are enjoying my ideas for preserving memories. Thank you so much for being a part of the party and everything you bring to Will Blog for Comments. :)
DeleteHappy New Year, Jennifer! I was thinking today that I also might need to stop collecting nativities although I love finding new ones when I travel. At some point I need to start downsizing! LOL! Happpy belated anniversary! As always, thanks for the party!
ReplyDeleteMe, too! I love finding new nativities when I travel also. For me, it might need to be more of a "give away the ones I don't love" rather than stop collecting them. ha :) You're welcome, and thank you for being a great part of our linkup!
DeleteYour book is lovely, Jennifer, what a great way to chronicle a year. thanks so much for hosting this party. I love to come here to share ideas. Have a wonderful week. So glad your foot is healing nicely.
ReplyDeleteLynne, Thrifting Wonderland
Thanks, Lynne. Yes, link parties are such a fun venue for sharing ideas. Happy you're joining us.
DeleteJennifer, as always, thank you for hosting this wonderful link-up. It's appreciated. 😊 And thank you for featuring my upcycled glass Valentine's jars. Aw, that was such a fun project to work on. 💖✨ And a big thank you for giving my bloggers' dos and don'ts a shout-out! That was so kind of you. Wishing you the best during your foot surgery recovery. Take care and have an awesome week. 🌟
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome--and thank you for sharing your fun projects with us. I couldn't help myself sharing your "bloggers' dos and don'ts"--it really was one of my favorite reads from the last couple of weeks, and I think you said everything so well and gave us all such important reminders. Thanks for the well-wishes. I'm now walking without the boot and getting back into things, which is nice. My goal today is go for a 15-minute walk in the sunshine. :) Have a great week, too!
DeleteThanks so much, Jennifer, for the feature for the thrifted crafts. Learning a new skill is always fun and a little intimidating but fun wins out. Your new on-line course sounds really interesting. I really appreciate all the inspiration and information you have on your blog.
ReplyDeleteLynne, Thrifting Wonderland
I agree--sometimes it's a little intimidating (or downright scary) to learn a new skill, but the process is fun anyway. :) Thank you--yes, I'm hoping the online event at the end of April will be both helpful and fun! I'd love to have you join me. And thank you so much for your kind words about my blog. :) Thank you for joining us in our linkup, Lynne!
DeleteThank you for hosting! I've posted two links and visited 4 other links on your party! Fun seeing other blog sites!!
ReplyDeleteThank you for joining us, Debra, and welcome! So happy you found us. I look forward to seeing what you've shared with us this time. Thanks for visiting others. Yes, it's so fun to see what everyone is enjoying and doing. :) We hope to see you back here next time as well--this particular linkup is extended a little because I'll be doing a little traveling, but the next one will open April 20.
DeleteYour ASL video was powerful, Jennifer! I can only imagine how much your students learned - beyond the signs - and how much stays with them! Thanks for sharing and, as always, thanks for hosting us all! Wishing you a great start to your new school year!

ReplyDeleteThank you so much for joining our linkup, Melynda. Happy you're here.
DeleteI've never heard that about upstate New York before, how interesting. My husband and I have had that Colorado train ride on our bucket list for a while now. Thanks for the party.
ReplyDeleteI probably should have specified "western" NY since "upstate" is pretty broad. Yes, it's very dark there most of the time! Ug. Oh, I hope you do get to do the train ride some time, and explore other mountain destinations in Colorado, too. :) Thanks for joining us here!
DeleteThanks for the invitation to your link party. It’s nice to be here.

Thanks for joining us, Esme. I just shared at SSPS. Have a great week.
DeleteThanks so much for hosting us all once again, Jennifer! How fun that you and your daughter were able to share those experiences - then and now! That replica is stunning and i can't imagine what it looked like in person!
ReplyDeleteSo happy you're joining us, Laura! :) Yes, the replica was just stunning. I had forgotten how BIG they are--you feel so small standing in front of them. And the bas-relief sculptures are just incredible.
DeleteI sure thought I had shared a link at this party. I did read the post because I remembered the images this time. Well, it’s said better late than never! My link #33.
ReplyDeleteThank you for hosting!
All the best.
