...sigh....electronics.  I should have had this posted already, but my computer crashed Sunday night and I just got it back up and running late last night.  Glad I had everything backed up on my eBook storage thingy majig  (the technical term of course).

Anyhoo...on with the challenge!  This week our theme at Creative Craft Challenges is "tag it".  We wanna see lots of tags on those projects!  I'm trying to get a scrapbook done for my mother-in-law in time for Christmas (fingers crossed).  So, I decided to use some tags on my pages.  Here's the first one, featuring pictures of my sister-in-law as a baby:

Gloria Westerman  who said...
Oh my ....this is gorgeous...excellent job coloring.....I love it....thank you for playing with us over at PCC....
Congrats Gloria!  Pop me an email at greeneyedshoes at aol dot com and I'll forward your info to Shelley!  Thanks for your sweet comment!
Now on to this fortnight's challenge.  I chose to work with one of the new images that just came out, called Turkey Goes Wild.  He definitely looks like the king of his castle, not to mention thankful he's not dinner.   LOL.
