The photo of the old wood is one of the remaining barns on UCSC's campus. The other barn is collapsing. I hope they'll salvage the wood and try to rebuild another structure there. The Paris postmark and script are from French Kiss. Thanks, Leslie.

Thank you Leslie at French Kiss Studios for the tutorial on using your frames, brushes, and tapes. I'm also having fun with the Victorian bird brush stamps I bought on your site.

Thanks to Kim Klassen for the texture from 'Beyond Layers'. This week's task is to take the "less is more" approach to texture with lots of negative space.

This family went running, jumping and playing after the first real snowfall. Seen out Aaron's back window in New York.
