Hey Cherries. We got a dusting of snow this morning. So pretty. After the week I had of so much adulting, I am happy to stay in today. Other than a grocery delivery this afternoon I have nothing going on and I plan on finally getting in my scraproom. I have a thank you card that I started that has been sitting on my table unfinished all week. I want to get back to that then I have some other cards that I need to make. It will be nice to play with paper today.

Have a great day Cherries.

We got a couple inches of light, fluffy snow this morning.  All good now and the sun is shining.  Our day is filled with the grandkids.  We have basketball at 3 and 7:30 tonight.  In between we'll grab something to eat and most likely they'll have a sleep over with us.  No crafting today.  However, I did finish the cover for the Art Journal yesterday!!

We got about 4 more inches of snow, overnight, on top of the 5 we already had!  Eliza is thrilled!  It is pretty, but I'm glad not to have to go out in it. lol  Still celebrating my beloved Buckeyes' awesome win over Texas last night! What a game!

Good morning snowbirds.  It must be so pretty where you are. Today we returned to the 70s in the morning but the weather here this week has been soooo nice.  We should be back in the s by Thursday.  Today's plan to is finish the last two pages from our Mt. Dora vacation and sit down and plan our next vacation in March.  We start state testing on Monday so I am going to try and just chill this weekend.  Have a great day everyone 

This morning DH and I had a fasting bloodwork done and then picked up Dunkin Donuts on the way home for us and DD. We've been watching Wicked (1/2 hour at at time - it's an almost 3 hour movie LOL). Lots of house projects to do today plus copy editing. I have a layout that I started sitting on my table and need to get back to it. I also want to put together step 1 for Louise's progressive challenge. We do have a BJs order coming later today. It's too cold to walk all the way over there ourselves lol.

We got a dusting on the cars as well but it’s not really so pretty in the city. I have a slow day planned, Benjamin heads back to college  tomorrow but he’s busy today, but hopefully we can spend a little time with him. It’s been nice having him here.

Wow!  State testing in January?  Ours starts in April and we think that is too early.   Then, the kids think May doesn't count and they don't have to work, because they already finished their state tests. lol

Good Morning Cherries! 

We've gotten about 4-5 inches of snow since late yesterday.  I had a grocery order delivered late Thursday and picked up some extra things like meat, produce and eggs yesterday morning after I took my Mom to her eye appt.  No plans to go anywhere until Monday when I have to go to work.  

The plan here is to stay holed up in my scrapbook room and work on layouts and some organizing.  I might leave my little scrappy hole to cook dinner - lunch is leftovers or sandwiches so dh and Grayson can take care of themselves for that.  

Hope you all are staying warm if you are snowed in too!
 

Hey Cherries 
I started feeling a little under the weather and ended up calling in today and yesterday. (They're not the happiest about it, but .)
I've just been resting. 
Take it easy, Cherries!

Sorry to hear that.  Rest and get better.

We actually do state testing three times a year (thank you Governor) and district testing twice a year. The governor said when he was elected that he would reduce testing and increased it.  It's a lot, especially for kindergarten. 
 

Hi Cherries! 
we got a little more than 4.5 inches of snow yesterday! Just sooo happy it wasn’t ice this time !!!  It was really a day of beautiful gigantic snowflakes and I really enjoyed it! The sun is out after about a week of no sun. 
I played in my scrap room this morning and I did put something away! Lol
ehen I saw this 49 and Market paper I knew I had to buy it so I could put song lyrics on it ! lol yep! I’ve had it since before Thanksgiving but no time . 
I scheduled today! Lol

Good Morning,  Yes, it is actually still morning here in the west.

Just came back from walking and shoveling.  We had a dusting overnight and more expected later today and tomorrow.  Thankfully quite a bit we had melted the last couple of days.  The side roads are still a nightmare, though.  It says 34F outside.  My hips are screaming after not walking for several days.  It's either been too snowy and unsafe to walk or too windy and cold.

DH wants to go out for lunch, not sure where we are headed.  Then I can come home and just create.  Finished the one below this morning and another almost done on my desk.  New photos arrived yesterday.  

  


 

Still blue skies and sunny here but a strong cold wind blowing. Older DS came for dinner last night.  He worked on my pellet stove for 2 hours  but no luck.  TV was boring  so just read/fooled around on my phone. Without commercials and shows changing I lost track of time and was up way too late. Then couldn’t get to sleep so I took an Alleve.  Poof it was 11:00 am Saturday morning just like that.  lol    So probably doing very little today.  Going nowhere.  Need to make a couple bday cards.     

stay warm and safe
