Happy First Day of Spring 2016!!!

I was up late last night trying to get a layout started for the challenge I am participating in and trying to use up a lot of stash of flowers and leaves. I have a lot of Maggie Holmes embellishments and I am trying to use them up instead of hanging on to them. This is a layout of my grandmother, Wilma, who was quite the fashionable and forward of women back in the roaring 20's. She married a man on a dare, never lived with him and either got a divorce or an annulment a few months after. She wore her hair in the style of the day with a spit curl in the middle of her forehead and had a dress that was a sheath to the hips with layers of fringe to the knee. Quite the Vamp!!!

Testing the system and seeing if I remember how to do this!!!

I am trying to remember how to blog......it has been forever and with some stories I want them to be out here and not floating in my head. Also it needs to be a hosting site for my layouts so that I can share them more easily than from photobucket which is being awful. So here goes, lets see if this works!!
