Hey Cherries. Our cold temps are back. Not getting out of the 30s today with feels likes in the 20s. Today I’m meeting up with my sister for a bit to take care of some things regarding my mom. After that I have to stop at the supermarket and pick up a few things. DD and family and my step grandsons are coming for dinner tonight, and the baby and her mom too. I didn’t get to see them for Christmas yet so it will be nice to watch the baby open her presents. Not getting in my scrap room today but plan to on the weekend.

Have a great day Cherries.

Good morning, Cherries!  We finally have SNOW!!!  Actual measurable, pretty, fluffy snow!!!

I'm just going to be working on paperwork for taxes.  That's always loads of fun. 

Enjoy your visit with your family, Barb!

Have a great day ALL!

Enjoy your family day Barb and enjoy that beautiful snow Laura.

Today is scrapping day!! Slept in until 9, did not intend to do that but was so great. No shopping or cleaning today, just scrapping!!  Have a great day everyone 

Good morning! It's cold here today as well. We're still recovering from something and don't want to leave the house. I have not been crafting for the past several months. Just been too busy with life and my craft area has been so cluttered it's not been possible. However, I cleaned my space and that always gets my creative juices flowing! I'm going to scrap something today. Have a lovely day everyone!

I don't envy you going out in the cold!
Yesterday was very blustery day. Hubby had to keep getting the garbage can. Finally just put it in the shed in the back yard. (Because of the setup with our yard and very long retaining wall with stairs in it in the front, we keep the can in front on the side of the stairs. No one wants to haul a can from out back for trash day.)  This morning looked pretty blustery, too, but it looks like it might be dying down a bit and coming more in gusts.

Yesterday I didn't get out of my pajamas and spent most of the day on the couch.   Late afternoon I finally went into my craft room for a short bit. I'm dressed today.  

We have snow down here, too, Laura!  It is pretty, but kitty is NOT amused.  lol She has wanted out and I have let her out 3 times, but she keeps running back in...doesn't want to sit in the snow or walk in it. She is hilarious and mildly annoying!

Working on some Cricut crafts today and DH and I are planning to go see "Wicked" at our little, town theater tonight.

Hope you two have a great night out!

Good morning! Cold here as well. I'm starting on my London album, I've been making the smaller albums for my recent trips and I try to keep a consistent look or theme throughout, so the first page I do is the toughest, but here's the one I did today.

I think these old looking stamperia papers that I won from NSD are perfect for a city where the sun never shines. 

I hope to do another page this afternoon.
Have a great day everyone!

Hey Cherries  
Temps dropping here, too. I work at 4 today and have therapy at 1. Kind of want to go back to bed for a little while lol can't shake off the tired! 
I had fun playing around yesterday but didn't do too much lol worked on some altered playing cards and art journaling. NEED to get into my scrappy zone- those challenges look great!  
Stay blessed, Cherries!

Happy Friday Cherries!  It's flurrying snow here!

I'm working on getting the house mostly de-Christmased.  DH and I will take the tree down Sunday, or maybe next weekend - I want to enjoy a little more time with the twinkle lights.  Grayson is having a friend come over to stay the weekend - so they will entertain themselves, I just have to provide food. 

I've managed to get 2 layouts done and working on a 3rd one at the moment.  I hope to spend a big chunk of my weekend scrapping!   

Well winter has us wrapped in its wet grey grasp.  Rain and gloom.  I love it.  Already got my pellet stove going.  Cat and I are still on the sofa and she’s sort of purring in her sleep. Kind of a Norman Rockwell scene for a Saturday Evening Post cover.  Lol

Have a cozy Friday.

Lol at your kitty not liking the snow! I’ve had cats that lift their paws and shake the snow off and look at me like “Mom! FIX this!” Lolol! Our Jeff kitty LOVES the snow! He chases the little snowballs and it’s so cute!!!! 

Enjoy playing with your cricut!!!
