Brrr....good morning, Barb!  Stay warm going out today.  My plans are to stay in until Spring!  LOL!  Today I want to catch up on some of the challenges.  I have 3 different ones started that I need to complete.  This morning I spent an hour catching up on my challenge blog commenting.  It keeps me busy. 

Staying in till spring sounds like a good plan to me too Vicki! Have fun scrapping! I keep forgetting about your blog! Need to remind myself to play along!!!

It's cold here as well. I'm in the middle of 2 layouts which is unusual for me. Luckily I have a 2 sided desk. But I got drawn into the book I'm reading so I may not actually work on either of them much. I might go to the Sixers game tonight, they have lost every game I have gone to this season so I think it might be better if someone else goes. 

I’m sure the Sixers don’t think you’re a jinx Louise! Hopefully you’ll be good luck for them from now on. Enjoy your book and stay warm !!!

Good morning, Ladies.  Stay warm!

It is actually warmer here in the west.  We are in the 30's and under a winter storm advisory.  We shall see how much snow dumps this round.  I will be running to the grocery store after I eat some breakfast.  

Otherwise not much on my agenda.  Yesterday using my dies to cut out a bunch of trees and animals for the grandson who is here after school.  He has a project for school he is working on.  Cleaned out my file folder yesterday and shredded a bunch of stuff, filling up a garbage bag.  Good thing pick up is tomorrow.  

Have a layout completed and would like to work on some more.  Have one started on my desk.  New photos on their way too.

Hope you all have a great Wednestday.  

Leslee, how fun to help with the school project! Hope you get some scrappy time!!!

Happy 90th birthday to Elvis Aaron Presley.  Like to think he and his Memphis Mafia are having one heck of a party in heaven today. 

37 degrees out right now and for me that’s brrr.  Lunch out with old friend today and a few quick errands after.  Got my house fairly clean/tidy yesterday but never did get my pellet stove working.  And the repair guy charges a fortune to come look at it.  Maybe time for a new one.  sigh. 

have a cheerful Wednesday and keep warm. 

Oh Charlene! How in the world could Elvis be 90 if he was still alive??!! Wow!!! That might have been a sight to see him at 90 moving those hips!!!

Have fun with your friend and good luck deciding what to do about your pellet stove!

I like your plan of staying in till Spring.  I told hubby I am hibernating.  I slept till almost 8 which is late for me.  But why get up?  Besides I have a bad shoulder and pain.  I start PT next Wednesday at 9:00.  Guess I will have to get out before Spring! LOL 

Keep that shoulder moving! I had to be put under to unfreeze mine over 20 years ago and it’s the worst pain ever!!!!! Hope your PT helps!

Good morning cherries. Jasmine did remarkably well yesterday. Her surgery was flawless and so was her blood work. They also did x-rays and she has no signs of arthritis or anything else that large breed dogs tend to have. The cyst was much larger than all of us expected. The ugliest cyst the vet tech has ever saw and she's been doing this for 25 years! Even our vet was in shock. It's HUGE. It's UGLY. Poor Jasmine. But miraculously, they got it all in one piece. They will be sending it off for further testing because of the size and weird attributes it has.

When I went to pick her up, I could tell the difference when she was walking. I'm sure it was putting quite a bit of pressure on her shoulder when she walks, no doubt. She was super excited to go home and DH actually beat me home, so he was waiting for her when we arrived. Boy was Shelby SUPER EXCITED to see her sister! She managed to keep a small meal down last night and she rested quite a bit too. She doesn't appear to be in any pain or having much discomfort. I take her back in 10-14 days to remove stitches.

Breakfast this morning went well too. Shelby of course wants to wrestle with her and the way they play, they hop and jump and get all crazy.

Just a super intense work week so staying SUPER busy while I keep an eye on Miss Jasmine.

Hope everyone has a great day and stay warm. We sure are and of course, Miss Penny Lane is staying cozy in her PJs.

Such good news about Jasmine!!! Hopefully the test results will be good too. Try not to work TOO hard Brandy!!!

Hey Cherries  
It's STILL cold here, too! We dropped down to 14 last night with a wind chill of who knows what!  
I've taken off my leggings and put my jeans over my thermals. So I'm about half dressed for work!  
I was worried about my shoes being wet at work and then had coffee. Which made me realize I could use the hand dryer at work to dry them! (I was extra cranky when I first got up! )
I simply don't like to leave the house when it's cold! But, my fur babies will need some cat food, so... Though they've been bad well my kittens, namely Shadow, have been bringing in dead birds to play with! IDK how he got the first one in here this morning, but when he tried to bring the second one, I caught him and yelled "no! Drop it!" And man! He looked like I broke his heart lol he dropped it though!  
I didn't finish any scrappin' yesterday but worked on some of my altered playing cards and watched TV and movies and read. 
I better go have my second cup of coffee so I wake up more. The Wi-Fi went out, but my phone data is working well! 
Stay warm and blessed, Cherries!
​​​​​​

Brrrrr!!! Hope your shoes dry in the hand dryer!!! And hope your WiFi gets fixed soon too! Stay safe and warm Holly!!!

Hi Cherries! It was so foggy here this morning that I couldn’t see the trees on our side of the lagoon! It cleared up pretty quickly and the sun was over the mountains by 9:45 which means we’ve gained at least 15 minutes of daylight since the solstice! We all look forward to that!!! Lol!

Steve is spending the majority of his days tending the wood stove. Some of our wood is wet (due to all the torrential rains we’ve had) so it takes a lot more effort to keep it warm in here. Next year we should be in much better shape. We really didn’t plan ahead to be in here yet but it was time!!!

I need to finish putting Christmas away and then I need to get Steve’s tools and stuff out of my kitchen cabinets. I was hoping he’d do it but… lol! Heat is more important! 

Might be able to scrap a bit tonight. That would be great! 

Have a great day!!!

I actually had to go to school today. lol  We were on a 2-hour delay so the roads could be as clear as possible.  All the county, country roads were fine and the streets in the little village where I teach were absolute crap!  Poor kids that walk to school couldn't walk on the sidewalks, because lazy people didn't clean them off. Also, people parked on the side streets are supposed to move their cars so they can plow the streets, but they didn't.  I would go nuts if I was in charge of snow removal in that town. smh

Had our first musical rehearsal tonight and it went so well!  Kids love to learn dances, so that was what we started with, and it is going to be AWESOME!
