My 2018 Captured In Photos

 

   Ditto from last year:

 As usual, I wait until the last minute to get my Shutterfly calendar project started. It takes receiving a coupon code for a free calendar in late December to get me going, and I am always surprised to how many photos I need to sort through, select , and Photoshop!!! The following photos made it to the calendar project page, but not all made it into the calendar
