When I have been away from home, the sight of this beloved knob is a sweet relief because I know the long trip is about to come to an end and I will enjoy a sweet sleep in my own bed this night! Yes, “There’s no place like home,” Dorothy! 5/4/26

Challenges for July

If you are in the United States, Happy 4th of July!

The brightest day that ever shown on earth, 

The day that Liberty received her birth. 

—William Emmons (1788-1834)

I have worked the first 3 challenges at OScraps for July.  I like to do them in order.  It's like being able to check off a task on your ToDo list for me.  Anyone else like that?

Welcome to July!

I am having a hard time wrapping my head around the fact that 2026 is half over already!  Can you?

With a new month comes new challenges and you can find July's challenges HERE.

I haven't done any of the challenges yet.  I've been working feverishly on miscellaneous pages from the couple of months I took off.  I'm working on May right now.
