Beautiful day here in SE PA.  The high today is 72 and the windows will be open.  We had baked fish for dinner last night and no matter what the house still smells of fish.  LOL!  So I will be airing it out today.  Then I hope to clean out my flower beds and trim up the mums that have taken over.  Maybe some scrapping later today.  Have a good weekend Cherries!

I'm always jealous when I hear people have their windows open - that only happens here MAYBE once or twice a YEAR. 
  

  Same!

Hey Cherries  
STILL fighting a cold but I MUST make my shift today at 5. I went to bed early and read for a while. The number of times I woke up is ridiculous though! (To pee, to blow my nose, ugh!)
I NEED to get pictures of the art journal and send it out, and I need to take pictures of my step 3 for the progressive layout challenge. I finished an unfinished project yesterday, too- a layout that I started last year with a VERY old photo of my original Jazz cat. 
So, between feeling lousy with this cold, and getting restless from all the rest, I have had some creative play! I'm JUST annoyed that I don't feel the best lol! I mean fibromyalgia is annoying enough, but adding a cold to the mix is JUST ridiculous! Enough whining from me, though! 
Have a wonderful weekend, Cherries!
 

Hope you feel better Holly!

Good morning cherries, Brandy here, posting for Barb. She's still at her Mom's (stayed overnight) and she just hasn't slept well (slept in a recliner). So she asked me to post on her behalf. And Barb did say her Mom was OK, so that's a relief. She will share deets later.

Who's scrapping today? Me - probably not. I've got so much to do around here since I was super busy yesterday. If you follow me on FB, you saw I had to 2 littles yesterday morning. My brother and SIL needed to get their stuff out of the storage unit that they share with my SIL's sister and you can't do anything with a 3 yr old and a 16-month old.   So after they dropped off Draven and Jasper at school, they came over here and got the 2 littles settled. Then headed over to the storage unit. The boys had fun. They played, watched cartoons and helped make diabetic-friendly cookies for Uncle Rob.

My brother and SIL picked them up at 11:30 and I went in and showered, got dressed and headed over to the store to get groceries. Home to put things away, ate a couple of crackers and then headed out again to my 1st DAR meeting. I'm still working thru my application, but they allow prospective members to come. I saw another prospec that I met at the lunch 2 weeks ago, so we sat together. Home again, then DH got home. We relaxed all evening, catching up on shows on our DVR.

Today, I've got the usual laundry going, and need to desperately clean up my office. I also need to run a couple of errands.

Hope everyone has a good day!

I missed that Barb's mom was sick, glad she is ok. Sounds like you have been busy, hope you get some fun time this weekend. I'm sure I missed it, what is a DAR application?  

DAR is the Daughters of the American Revolution. My 6th great grandfather served in the American Revolution. I'm currently going through the process. You must show them proof from generation to generation. 

That is so cool.  Best of luck.

Hello Cherries, feel like I have missed so much but have been crazy busy with school. Weather here is yuck...very overcast and drizzly but there is a very nice breeze and we are down to 81 degrees. Humidity is up up up though. Very jealous of all of you with those low temps.  Started a teeny bit of Christmas shopping this morning. Every year since birth I buy my boys an ornament of whatever they were into that year so I picked up the first two.  Also found the kitchen Santa I wanted at Hobby Lobby,  Today I'll be cleaning and finishing my Halloween decorations then tomorrow I will be scrapping for sure. Have a great weekend everyone 

That's cool about the ornaments. My step-dad's mother would buy my brother and I a new ornament each year for Christmas. When she passed, my mother continued that tradition. Now that SHE has passed, I do the same thing with the boys. 

That is awesome you are continuing it, pretty soon they will have an entire tree full.  Every year I put it up, it's like a walk through their whole life.

My beloved Buckeyes have a bye week, so DH is taking me to test drive a car! lol  My lovely Beetle is 13 years old!  I wasn't buying a new car, yet, but the Mini Cooper has one is the prettiest shade of light teal/aqua, and so many car companies refuse to make cars in colors other than black, white, silver, and red, so I might just have to do it! 

Good luck with the test drive, sorry no football. That was last week with the Chiefs... it's like something is missing!!  

We are still getting our fix with the Alabama/Tennessee game. lol. The test drive was great!  I am going to order the car with the interior and options I want!
  

That's awesome, congrats!!

Hey Kristin! Have fun making your Halloween decorations! Can't wait to see them!
The Christmas ornaments sound like a lovely idea! I bet you've got quite the collection now! VERY special!  
Have a wonderful weekend!
