Yeah, I need to get out the snowblower and extension cord from the shed. (It's electric. Only thing is I don't have an outlet outside so I have to plug it in in my craft room and run the cord out the window. Stuffing the gap with a towel. )

Yesterday I got my puzzle board set up and started working on a puzzle I got for Christmas. It's a Thomas Kinkade Winnie the Pooh.

Tam, enjoy your puzzle!  Sounds like it will be beautiful and somewhat challenging!  My Mom loved doing jigsaw puzzles.  Every time there was supposed to be a blizzard or bad weather she'd pull one out and work on it.  She had one of the Grand Canyon at sunset that was about 5,000 pieces and it took her weeks to finish.  She had a board she'd set on the dining room table so she could pick it up and move it when they wanted to eat at the table.  But when she pulled out the Grand Canyon one they'd set the board on top of the puzzle!    Good memories!!!

Howdy. Sunny, clear cool.  Those lower 30 degree nights warm up quickly once the sun comes up.  It’s like living in the desert. 

today is turning out to be a serious cleanup day.  I still can’t find my postage collage stencils and dies.  Going through my orders here to see if I can figure out which ones I should have.  Only two I can remember for sure are the Thanksgiving one and the Gingerbread house one.  Oh well craft area always needs a good cleaning up. Lol

have a warm and fun Sunday

Good morning Barb. Glad you have the things you need to stay safe and warm. Praying for all the Cherries facing this crazy cold. Praying for Holly today, my heart hurts for her. 

We found some bedroom furniture yesterday that will be delivered Saturday.  So today I will be clearing out the old furniture, switching it out with my son's old furniture and putting his out for Salvation Army to pick up on Tuesday.  Will probably watch the playoff games after that but will definitely be scrapping tomorrow.  

I am a Chiefs fan but definitely starting to see that there might be some truth to the "ref" situation when it comes to Patrick. Makes me sad, they are a great team but some of those penalty calls were insane.  

Stay safe and warm Cherries. 

How FUN to have found new furniture so easily!  Take it easy moving the other furniture around!  I watched the Chiefs game too.  Definitely a couple of questionable calls there.  It happens a lot for the Washington team and has for MANY years.  But the games yesterday were fun to watch!  I'm watching the Eagles/Rams game now.

Hey Cherries!

I was trying to respond to everyone but keep getting interrupted.  I've chatted with Holly and posted an update.  She's in shock of course but hanging in there.  She's very grateful for everyone here and appreciates your thoughts and prayers and support.

I convinced Steve to buy some dry wood for the wood stove and he agreed.  What a DIFFERENCE!  A couple of days ago it was 57 in the bedroom.  Right now it's almost 90!  That's okay because it's 35 with 83% humidity outside!    we have a couple more days in the low 30s and then it will be back around 40 during the days.  Might get some snow tonight...  Hopefully not much if any!

I got a 2 pager finished last night so I've done all of the Hanukkah challenges!  Ironically the next pictures I had planned to do were the ones when Steve and I met Holly and Omer...  I hope I can do them.  It was so nice meeting them.  He was really sweet and he and Steve got along great.  Just so shocking and sad!

Watching the football games today.  I can't imagine being at the Eagles/Rams game IRL today!  It' looks miserable there!  I hope Louise is bundled up enough!   

After the games I'm going to try scrapping.  I've almost met my goal for layout pages so I want to keep going!    I have so many more challenges I want to do too!   

Hope you're all having a good day!  Stay safe and warm dear Cherries!!!

Wow!! I think 2000 would be my limit!

It looks like DH and I caught the stomach bug. I started about 2:00 am and he started later this morning. It’s a good day to stay in and watch the snow. I went to a crop yesterday and did four layouts but don’t feel well enough to finish and upload to the gallery. 

I’m going to try to take a nap before the Eagles game.

Sorry you and Ed are sick. Boo!!! Feel better soon!

I had fun doing this layout for the Hanukkah Light Challenge. Now on to another!

Beautiful! Love all the details

Great layout Brandy! Such adorable pics!

Venison chili is DONE and I used the scraps from the layout to make this card using the weekly sketch. All scraps! And the last 2 star paper clips in my stash too!



Now I'm going to clean things up and then go eat!
