Good morning cherries! We have finally cooled down and humidity has came down....but only for the day!   Woke up to 55 and will warm up to 90. Tomorrow? Low 78 and high in the upper 90s.   Went on my morning walk to enjoy the cooler temps. Bedsheets in the dryer and am about to get started on work. Yesterday was even more brutal than Monday. I was so cranky and brain dead   Slept okay though. Hoping today is alot smoother. Need to finish something major than do an upgrade this evening.

Hope everyone has a great day.

Same old, same old here. I'm starting to fall into routine (not baseball season LOL) with freelancing. I also want to get started on some household / decluttering projects too, before the holidays. Do any of you cherries follow Flylady? She's always in the back of my head but I think I need to get back into her routines/program. Doing something is better than doing nothing. 

As for scrapping - I finished sketch 400 and need to take pictures. I am working on a card for the Black Friday #1 challenge. And I have some pictures out for Flasher's Halloween challenges.

I sure hope today is a better day!  Yesterday I felt the same way - cranky and brain dead.  what a long day!!

Good morning!
the rain finally stopped and the sun is out, but it's a lot cooler today.  I am hoping today goes by so quickly.  I just don't want to be here.  i want to be home scrapping and snuggling my kitties.

I'm trying to finish up the Halloween party challenges - 1 more to go.  And my Halloween pics won't be here until after the deadline.  So I am searching older pics to find stuff to work with.
I finished up 2 pages last night and was pretty happy about that.
IF today turns out to be a slow day, I'm hoping to meal plan, grocery list and plan pages for the weekend.
Bowling season has started for Jason, so I'll be getting home a little later almost every night.  Time to do some prepping!

Have a great day!

Good morning. I just found out I'm getting a delivery today at an unknown time. I was supposed to get my roots colored this morning but they were nice enough to switch it to the evening after my husband gets home in case it hasn't come by then.

I plan to continue working on my Tonga album. I'm making great progress after doing nothing for a month. Here are the pages I did yesterday. most are 6x8 but some are much smaller

First major snowstorm of the year hit us last night.  This means hubby is working from home today...in the craft room.  Oh well.  I was able to finish up a card and clean my desk before he started, and maybe I will get a chance to do some crafting later.

Beautiful morning here in SE PA!  It was 62 at 7 am and the high today is 82.  Crazy weather for November 6th.  I'll take it!  We went from heat to AC to heat and back to AC.  LOL!   DH helped me pack the car this morning for my departure tomorrow to a crop for the next 4 days.  So looking forward to it as my sister will be there along with a couple of my Pocono crafty friends.  Had our water system and well checked this morning and all is good.  Picking up DGD at noon for an afternoon appointment.  Then, this afternoon I will finish up printing photos to scrap.  Thankful yesterday is over....

I don't follow her, but I've done a lot of de-cluttering this past week too.  Sounds like your back in your scrappy mode!

I need someone to tell me how to get out of my own way LOL! And once I cleaned my scrap area, I felt the scrappy mojo coming back

Is FlyLady on YouTube? I'll have to Google her lol Anne-Marie, I need to declutter badly! I LOVE that, too: doing something is better than doing nothing! I'm gonna put that in my journal!!!
Hope you have a great day with fun crafting time!

One of my younger sisters has started meal prepping, too, and swears by it now!  
I hope work is slow enough that you can get some page planning done, Wendy! TOTALLY cool that you finished 2 pages last night!
Have an awesome day!

Nice your lady let you switch your appointment! Hopefully it's a good package, too!  
Your pages are terrific, Louise!

Awwwww I hope you do get a chance to do some crafting later! Lol it's my fave thing to do during a snow storm! Hopefully the snow won't be so bad; I guess winter is here for you!  
Have a great day!
