Hey Cherries. Cold today not coming out of the 40s. Getting a grocery delivery this afternoon which will include a fresh turkey. How I love delivery. The only good thing that came out of the pandemic. Hopefully today I can shake this lazy, “I don’t feel like doing anything” mood I’ve been in and actually do something productive. We’ll see how it goes.

Have great day Cherries.

44 degrees here and sunny.  We were out early to pick up a few groceries before the crazy started.  It's officially "soup Saturday", first of the season.  It will be chicken and vegetable today.  Working in my craft space and that's about it!

I will have to venture out for my Thanksgiving shopping later today, but I will order as much as I can from Wal-Mart for pick up first. All day is focused on Thanksgiving prep and cleaning. Mostly cleaning, I guess, but I have no plan yet and kind of need that first.

But I'm going to also incorporate some mini album time in there, too. My mini is not as complex and deliciously layered as I wish it could be, but then I am just not good at that style, unfortunately. I still think it's fun (accordion) and if no one buys it next weekend, I already know how I'll use it myself. lol. This week has not been good. I definitely need some crafting time mixed in with the cleaning.

Hey Barb! Lol I agree with the delivery of everything being great! It's helpful for sure!
I get the lazies sometimes too and they can be hard to shake lol I hope you can get a few things done today - THEN I hope you get crafty!

Soup sounds goods, Vicki! It's chilly here, too and I'm gonna have to get a new Crock-Pot/slow cooker so I can make some chili! Lol!
Have a good day today!

Awww, Anne-Marie, I hope you that much-needed crafting time! Hugs! Life can get so hectic sometimes, ESPECIALLY this time of the year! 
Stay blessed, my friend!

 

We are in the deep freeze in the west. It’s only 21F out and it snowed most of yesterday. So about 3 inches of snow on the ground. Thankfully it didn’t warm up enough yesterday for us to get the freezing rain. Thank goodness. I didn’t venture out yesterday nor will I be going anywhere today. Curtis took Cooper home right after school yesterday instead of having someone on the road at 5pm when all the crazy go home traffic is out there.

I will be spending time in my craft space. Making a travel journal for my sister for Christmas, since we will be going on a Panama Canal cruise in Feb. And it’s almost done, so I want to finish it up today.

Happy Saturday! Stay warm.

Hey Cherries  
Chilly day here again! Lol! 
Yesterday, I was ACTUALLY able to leave work early - which NEVER happens! I was delighted for sure! I picked up some groceries and cat food and came home- lol I ALMOST forgot to get the cat food! Brain fog at it's finest!  
I started a new art journal yesterday evening! I've been holding on to this beautiful journal for a good while, so it's time to use it! I started on the new art journal sketch, and it was a great way to relax after work!  
I plan on doing a little more tidying up around here, and then getting my arts and crafts on! 
ALSO, I'm loving the Black Friday sales, AND I'm loving the hold my order feature! It's nice that I can buy one thing here and there and get it all sent out at one time- getting a box of goodies is great, but I have to stick with that darn budget!  
ALSO, I REALLY REALLY needed that Brutus Monroe Stitching template! I want to add MORE hand-stitching to my work, and this seems like an easier way to go about it! 
AND I'm OFF on Thanksgiving, so that's a bonus!
Stay blessed, Cherries!

Oh, Leslee, I can't wait to see the album you're making for your sister!
Cold weather is the BEST for a day of crafting! Enjoy!
