I've been itching to use my Winter Cherry Box goodies and my Simple Stories Fresh Snow goodies. So I finally got my scrappy space in the dining room sort of set up and got a layout done last night! I saw an idea either on the blog or on the Facebook page so I lifted a couple of ideas and I love how it turned out! These pictures of part of our yard were perfect!
On the left picture you can see a corner of the house we just moved into. I'll have a lot more fun with these goodies again! The sketch is this week's layout sketch and I did 8 chipboard snowflakes for the Hanukkah Day 2 - 8 Items challenge. Hopefully I can play more tonight.
Nothing exciting on the agenda today. Steve needs to go to town to pick up mail and get his glucose monitor and app set up. We tried doing it last night and wound up with some survey app that he would never be interested in. So the clinic said they could help him with it. Currently he's out cutting more wood for the wood stove. Seems he spends the majority of his time dealing with the fire... But it keeps this place warm so we only occasionally have to use the "turbo heater" as I call it. It's about 3 feet long and hooks up to a propane tank and cranks out heat and sounds like a jet engine. Kinda looks like one too! We are SUPER careful with it but right now we need that extra heat. As the house gets finished there will be more ways for it to hold heat but right now it's mostly wood so we need extra help.
I need to go over to the cabin. (It's only 50 degrees there! But we're saving on electric and diesel!) I need to do a load of my laundry, at least one load of Steve's laundry and a load or two of dishes. Once Steve gets his monitor set up he will start working on the water system. And once he hooks up the sink drains I can heat water and wash by hand here if I want to. It will take him awhile to get the whole system hooked up but when it is we shouldn't have to go get jugs of water at the mountain stream about 5 miles away anymore! (Maybe in the late summer if it's dry but not all the time like we have been the past 8 years!!!)
Hope you're all having an amazing day! Can't believe tomorrow's the end of 2024!!! WHERE did this year GO?????
Gorgeous layout Ginni!
