Hey Cherries. Chilly and windy today. Right now 47 with a feels like of 34. Got a little bit of my act together yesterday. Did some online Christmas shopping for my great nieces and sorted some packages that have come in. And got my grocery delivery that included a 20.5 pound fresh turkey! Got the stuffing I need to stuff it too. So I’m ready to go on Thursday. Gotta love delivery. Today hope to get more things done around here and maybe even scrap. We’ll see how it goes.

Have a great Sunday Cherries.

Hello Barb, yay for fresh delivery!!  Busy morning....fully engaged in Christmas decorating. Decided my bedroom Christmas tree had to go, It was looking a little "Charlie Brownish" so ran out and got a replacement this morning. My house looks like a tornado went through here but I should be done by tomorrow.  Super excited to be off this week. Will hit the stores early a couple mornings and get in and out before it gets nuts.  Hoping a scrap a bit this week too. Just realized I missed the 2nd Black Cherry Challenge and I really wanted to do that one!!  Weather here is 70 degrees and lovely.  Have a great day everyone 

Good Morning Barb and Everyone!! We had such a great time traveling this past month. 2 Cruises and a trip to Punta Cana, DR. Lots of beautiful sunshine and beach time. MY FAV! It's really cold and windy here today too. Grandson Brady came up to help with getting outside ready for Winter. Bulbs to dig up and the rest of the deck stuff to put away. Really appreciate him helping. 

Medically....I had a CT-Scan and then another Pet Scan because they couldn't see the results well enough.  Left the day after and knew the probability was another tumor growing in my right lung. They're still watching the left one where I had radiation in March. Seems to be doing well. We didn't have phone service while we were cruising, but some of the Islands you can get phone service. My Oncologist had left a text and I was able to call her back. Said no further tumors, but I would need radiation on the one. Had an appointment with my Radiation Oncologist and he agreed and things would get rolling in the next couple weeks. They do a CT-Simulation early Dec. then they'll do planning with that information.

Glad you had such a wonderful vacation. Sending prayers your way for your upcoming treatments.  
 

Good morning!

It's actually kinda nice out today.   Around 50 degrees with lots of sunshine.  I ran to the grocery store this morning and I am slowly tackling each room of the house to get ready for Thanksgiving.  The plan is to start decorating for Christmas the day after.  I've been buying way too much stuff for decorating - I need to purge/!!  

In between cleaning, I need to reorganize my corner and work on a bit of laundry.
Other than that, it should be an easy day.

Have a great day!

Hey Cherries my sleep schedule got a lil wonky - I was up 430 again and just read for a while. Now I'm having coffee and getting ready for work. I got in an hour lol 
Stay blessed Cherries

A little warmer here today and less wind.  The temp is 52 and tomorrow it will be  60.  Monday will be the day to get the outside lights up and wreaths on the windows.  All of the groceries are ready for Thursday that we are preparing. The turkey, ham and desserts are on my list of to dos. Daughters and grand daughter in-law are bringing side dishes.  Today, I'm finishing up my last DT project for 2024 and then working on my die cut challenge blog for January.  I have a new creative team starting up and I have a few loose ends to tie up.  Have a good day everyone!

Sorry your sleep is messed up. I used to always wake up about 4:30 unable to get back to sleep. I usually just got up and found my cherries. Thankfully sleeping a bit better lately.

Sounds like you are hosting Thanksgiving, Barb.  I did a lot of online shopping too.  So much easier than shopping in person.  I never mind the holiday crowd, but the check out lines are stressful!  LOL!

My house always looks like a tornado went through when I'm decorating too.  But, afterward, it's refreshing to have it done and all is in place.  It warms my heart!

We really downsized our Christmas decor when we retired, but this year I bought a 3' Grinch tree for the grandkid's play area.  They will decorate it on Thanksgiving day.

Coffee is a necessity at that hour!  That was me the past 3 days.  This morning I actually slept until 7.

Nice to see you here, Carrie!  I love your DGS's name.  Having DH around 24-7 really cuts into my scrap time too.  LOL! 
 

I can't believe November is almost over and Thanksgiving is this week. Where has time gone!? I have a manuscript due tomorrow, which I should be on time with. I've just lately been so wrapped up with work that that's all it feels like I'm doing. I had tried to get ahead with Christmas shopping and while I've made a dent, I'm nowhere near as "ahead" as I thought I'd be. We're not hosting Thanksgiving but are still doing a bunch of side dishes and desserts to bring to SIL's house. Also DD is having Friendsgiving on the 30th so we still have to clean and bake for that too this week. As for scrapping, I finished a double page layout for one of the TTs and the Cherry Lift challenge and have to take pics. I've got another layout for the last TT I have left to do on my table so I hope to finish that today / tomorrow. Oh! That reminds me..DD needs my scrap table for Friendsgiving so I have to clean the scrap area - ackkkkkk LOL

Hi Deanna! Welcome back home! Glad y'all had a wonderful time. Sorry to hear that you need to continue to do radiation. Many hugs

DH & I are going to the mall on Saturday to do some Xmas shopping. DD is "kicking us out" for a little while for her Friendsgiving. We need to do some shopping anyway. We'll hopefully be able to eat some of their potluck. 

Funny, I actually did a card for the 2nd Black Friday cherry challenge and didn't get it uploaded yet. Oops...
