Hey Cherries. The sun is out and headed for 62 degrees. I have to run to Home Depot today to pick up some Mother’s Day plants/flowers for tomorrow and stop in at Kohl’s for gift cards for DD and my mom. Then home to make my mom a card and make tags for the plants/flowers. Already have the gift card holder for DD that I made for Flasher’s Not-So-Fast Scrap. After that it’s back to challenges. I pulled a few more pictures last night so I’m ready to go.

Have a great day Cherries.

Dang it’s early. Woke up for some unknown reason at 5:00am and could not back to sleep. I see an afternoon nap in my future. My boys will b here about 6 to take me to dinner and I probably should not b yawning and nodding off. lol

Nothing much other than that today. Maybe another challenge.
Have a super Saturday.

Hey Cherries
I was an early riser today! Haven't done much yet- just playing around online lol! It's looking to be a rainy day here- perfect for arts and crafts!
I finished the stencil challenge on Facebook yesterday. Didn't finish anything else lol! I'm trying decide which ones to start with for today! No other plans except to check the mail! Lol!
Stay blessed, Cherries!

Happy Saturday,

Kind of dragging after being up watching the Northern lights and waiting for the family to get back after watching them out of town.
All is good, though!  Awesome light show!
The other DD in Seattle made it to London, England after an all night flight.  Working there this next week and her hubby was able to go with her.

Yesterday, I ended up watching the minion for the afternoon.  She has had a low grade temp all week.  Her folks have been taking turns missing work and staying home with her.  DD took her to the doc and low and behold she had a ruptured ear drum.  So, she needed somewhere to go for the afternoon, so her mum could do some catch up at work.  Oh, gosh.  She was pretty lethargic when she arrived and getting her to take her meds is next to impossible.  But she had some of her favs for lunch and perked right up.  Then it was all about arts and crafts.  She painted, glued butterflies, stamped and cut out butterflies.  Teaching her how to stamp.  She caught on right away.  Took all her art work home with her.  I was pooped out. Thought I might scrap after she left to go home.  Nope, got dinner and crashed on the couch.

Looking nice out and suppose to climb into the 70's.  Going to a garden nursery and take a class on filling a pot full of beautiful flowers.  Should be fun for DD and I.  And get to bring home some flowers for my deck.  Need to get outside and find a pot to fill.  

Not sure how much scrapping will get done.  Hopefully some!!

Have a good day, ladies.

Up at 6 and out by 7 this morning for DGS's lacrosse game.  Stopped for coffee and got there just as the game started.  Great game and Jack scored 4 goals today!  We are back home and DH is getting ready to mow.  I'll be in my craft space most of the day today. 

We were disappointed with the cloud cover last night and weren't able to see the aurora borealis.  Hoping for clear skies tonight!

It was a rainy morning here, so I slept WAY in!  lol  Starting to get moving and it is almost noon.  Guess I was tired!  Hoping to scrap a little today, do my grocery run and get ready to host my mom & dad here tomorrow for Mother's Day dinner.

Good morning cherries!

I am so thrilled so many got to see the aurora borealis. We are too far south to see it, but I enjoyed all the photos my fb friends shared!

Baby boy had a better second night at home last night. (And parents, too) His other grandparents are coming to visit today from out of town. We will be running to the grocery store for the kids before the relatives arrive. Not sure if we will spend much time there today, just say hello to everyone. I don’t want to stress my daughter out with having so many people around.

Hubby is baking a strawberry torte for Mother’s Day with a German recipe. It’s quite a lot of prep. He had to make the quark (type of cheese) that goes into the layers. So he’s been working on it for 2 days already. I will def be sharing a pic of it when he’s done.

Maybe after I finish laundry and few more household chores I will be able to get in my scrapbook room. I have to make a plan for the 1st page of Louis’ album. I’ll check the gallery and see if I can scraplift something from there!

have a great weekend.
