This has been a crazy year for DH and I! I won't even get into it all! I took a couple months off from my CT work to get things straightened up in my personal life. So, I'm mostly back now. There are still a few things pending, but I think I can handle my duties here and at home.....for now, anyway!
I've worked a couple of challenges and also some Troll pages from a trip we made the first of May up north.

Think Outside
It was a good day for a bike ride with temps near 70. We took a short ride to High Point to see Little Sally. I was glad to see more people coming to visit her. Then we rode to Dairi-O. We got home a little after 6. 3/1/26

Good Evening!
I hope this finds everyone doing well!
Have you heard of Thomas Dambo, the Danish artist who uses recycled materials to create trolls that he hides in various places around the world? These creatures were brought to my attention when my granddaughter and her aunt and adopted aunt were in Seattle, Washington last year. Unbeknownst to me, there are/were several near where I live in North Carolina.
That being said, the granddaughter, her sister, her aunt (my SIL), my daughter (mother of said granddaughters) and myself went to Asheville, NC to see 12 sibling trolls. We went on the last weekend they were going to be at the NC Arboretum before being transported to California. Totally the wrong weekend to go! But, I'm so glad we did get to see them! The following pages are showcasing the trolls.
These are the products I used:
Project Template Album No 8 by Anna Aspnes
Acorn Woods Kit by Art Addicts
Adventures Wordart by Art Addicts
Tendrilings Wordart by Art Addicts
Faeweathered Wordart by Art Addicts
Escapades Wordart by Art Addicts
Acorn Woods Wordart and Brushes by Art Addicts
Acorn Woods Mini Kit by Art Addicts
Sacred Earth Deluxe Kit by A Whimsical Adventure
Sacred Earth Add-On Collection (Select Option) by A Whimsical Adventure
The numbers on the pages represent the order in which we saw the trolls from the map. But, I am going to continue using the numbers to indicate each future troll I find! I have number 13 that I will be posting pages for soon!
