Hey Cherries. It is cold. Right now we are at 14 degrees with a feels like of 7 and we won’t be getting out of the teens today. I am happy that I have no plans to go anywhere today. Staying in and staying warm. Going to pick my winners for my Graphic Design Challenge and work on getting the next one up. I had a scrappy last 3 days and it felt good to play with paper again. I finished up this layout yesterday for the Baby/Kid Challenge.

Have a great day Cherries.

We are warming up in the west this morning, so It will be headed east for all you folks in the Eastern US.  
Temps are above 30F and we haven't seen that in a few days.  Because of the Chinook winds blowing off the mountains, so we are windy this morning.
Was busy yesterday, so hope to have a quieter day today.  Told the minion I would bake her muffins, so I need to take some bananas out of the freezer and tackle that.  
Otherwise not much on my agenda.  
Back on pick up, with the grandkids back to school.  

Happy Tuesday, all.

It started at -9 this morning! Up to 7, now!  Brr!  We ended up getting a little more snow yesterday!  Just a dusting really.  It is windy, cold and sunny here. LOL

Yesterday, I finished 8 challenge pages for my challenge journal I am working on for this month.  I put some of them on my blog.  Yes, I did a blog post, too. Three weeks in a row. 

question: which is better:  post pages all in one post on ACOT?  Or one post at a time?  Especially because it is for the 100 papers, and the team challenges?

any advice?
thanks.

You could use the like paint. Use a finger or brush to smear some on your background. Also could use it to fill in the open areas of a diecut. Or go over the edges of diecut.
Here's a pic from your gallery for reference with diecuts. You could trace the web with silver, white, or black. Or you could just trace the greeting with orange, black, green, or purple. You could fill in the open areas of the cornucopia diecut with various colors. Purple grapes, orange pumpkin, etc. You could fill in the open areas on the mask with different colors and making it fun and colorful, particularly if you're doing something Mardi Gras themed.  (snowflake diecuts would also be good to trace with something sparkly!)

Good morning y'all. A little bit cold down here. 30 degrees with wind chill of 18. Freezing Rain turned into sleet and made our roads an icy mess. No school for the kiddos here and our major highways and bridges are shut down too. Skipped my walk because I wasn't going to go out in this mess, so I opted for yoga instead. Already washed a load of doggie blankets and vacuumed our bedroom.

Shelby and Jasmine don't seem to mind but Miss Penny isn't amused. She went out once to potty, ate her breakfast and has been staying warm and in her PJs, napping. She also has her fleece blanket on her that she carries where ever she is going. Mr. Jackson isn't a fan either.

Working today and it should be a decent day. I know some of my client's offices closed and staff are working from home. Lookin' forward to another quiet day.

Stay warm y'all.

I am not the right person to ask, but I would like to hear the answers.  AND  I can’t do the Nuvo drops to look pretty.  They either go flat or have points.  HOW do you do them to look nice and round and pretty?  

Stickles:  I use them a lot for centers of flowers.

I wait with you for answers.

Had 2 different temps this morning when I looked at the weather. The google default (I always just use the search.) is weather.com and it said -6 and -16 wind chill. The one I rely on is weather.gov and it said it was -12 with no windchill.
Currently more alike at 12/13 and both saying 1° windchill.

I use stickles to add to the edges of flowers and other embellishment using a thin paint brush.  They wash out of the brush with soap and water.

Wow, good for you Sharon!

Cold here too with a high of 17 degrees today.  The grandkids don't have school due to weather, so we may spend some time with them.  Otherwise, not much going on here.  I did finish a card last night and am working on a LO that I hope to finish tomorrow.

Stay warm everyone!

It's bitter cold here, too so luckily we have no plans to go outside. I'm still not 100% better from my stomach bug earlier in the week. Last night my lower back hurt and I had trouble sleeping. I've got five layouts to upload so I'll concentrate on those this afternoon and try to start another one.

Stay warm, Cherries!!

Well, hello Ladies! 

Barb, your layout a so adorable, love all you did with it, She is so cute, just a precious little darling!
Brandy, loved this: "but Miss Penny isn't amused" (made me smile, I sure understand how your dear girl feels, being a little older than the others I get it, too!)
Valerie, I am liking the ideas for the Stickles also! Most of mine are probably dried up. 
Sharon, perhaps you should share your blog address, or did you in the bio? I personally have always felt negative about large numbers in a single upload, just my opinion. I have seen where multiples are loaded in a single post, like when you have 3 photos to load for a double page with a pic of the sketch also, sometimes group of pages in the subject. I have no answer for you.
Chris, sorry for your discomfort, hope you get the rest and healing you need - in your Craft room!

I have so many photos and am so looking forward to getting prints and started to scrap!
We were in Jacksonville Sunday to celebrate our youngest boy! He is one! All smiles! Just a pure delight. He is amazing, but another amazing thing is that I played musical chairs and actually ran around, having a ball! 

News for Florida is that our Gov declared state of emergency especially for the panhandle. Sounds strange for you all! But remember we don't usually have 30 degree weather, freeze and snow! My cold weather clothes are getting a huge workout!
We are in the low 60's and it is raining on and off. It will be 50 by midnight. 

So, my friends, stay comfortable and safe! Let's get our 'crafty' going!
