Hey Cherries. It is cold. 30 degrees but our feels like is 12. Staying in today for sure. Getting in my scrap room and cleaning it up. I can’t play in there when it is such a mess, plus there is no place to work anyway. So my plan today is to clean it up and put new things away. Then I can play with paper again.

Have a great day Cherries.

It is seriously cold here, too!  Kitty thinks the sun means it is warm, and she has been outside twice and come back in both times after less than 5 minutes. LOL  She is currently napping on her kitty bed. 

I have a bunch of stuff to do today, including a grocery pickup before the storm hits us, picking up my Beetle, which needed new tires, and grading papers.  Sigh... Back to reality, soon!

Happy cleaning and scrapping Barb 

It is cold in Miami...woke up to 50 degrees and windy ...it is wonderful!!!  Sitting in my scrap room with all the windows open and grading papers. I don't even mind because the weather is so fantastic. Just finished lesson plans so I'm ready to go back on Monday.

Hoping to get scrappy this afternoon, my motivation and time is back  Have a great day everyone.

Sounds like we have similar plans today. Hope you can get through it quick and enjoy the day 
 

Hi Cherries!!! 
christmas is packed away! I put up my blue twinkle lights for winter and just in time for the ice storm ! Ugh I wish they were wrong and we would get snow!! We are on the border between the storm so really we don’t know for sure. Ice storms are NEVER good !!! We are under an Ice Storm Warning . 
for those cherries impacted by the storms stay safe and in touch if you can! 
today I’m going the normal weekly Saturday stuff  ! I am hoping to get in my scrappy space !!! If not today then tomorrow!!

It's all about perspective, right?  When it goes back to 50 degrees here after being 20 degrees, it will feel like Spring!

I TOTALLY get it Barb I've left myself virtually no works space either, LOL! We sure do have fun making these messes though! I bet you knock some of it out and start playing again!

Ugh not back to reality, Laura!  I know, the show just go on!   
I hope you have a very awesome day!  
Oh, and yes, some of my kitties think the sun means warm too, and they aren't happy campers, either!  Bless their hearts!   THEY'VE got it made!

Yay, Kristin! Enjoy that weather! (Lol we're half that now!) I would TOTALLY be opening all my windows, too! 
In hope you get all your adulting done so you can play, AND THEN, play some MORE! 
Have an awesome day!

Hey Susan! 
I Hope you stay safe during the winter storm as well! I certainly hope it's NOT as bad as they're saying!
Stay blessed ! 

Hey Cherries  
It's certainly cold here and get colder. The winter storm warning was upgraded to a potential ice storm for us as well. I don't have to tell you work was BUSY BUSY last night! My shift flew by, and I'm expecting the same today! 
I've been looking at ALL the challenges and am SO excited to scrap! I have a few days off this week and am REALLY looking forward to it! I'm needing to bash some stash this year for sure!
I've been tidying my space a little at a time, and I'm getting more 3 drawer containers. I'll need them! 
​​​​​​Stay blessed, Cherries!

Ice storms are the worst. We don’t typically get them here, but growing up in southern Ontario I remember them well! Not good memories! Stay safe!

We are in the deep freeze in Montana too! Says it’s a whole 10F out. We had 6 inches of new snow yesterday afternoon and evening. The grandsons are supposed to be coming over to shovel! More expected today! Winter has certainly arrived. Glad we have nowhere to go and can just hibernate.

Working on my last cruise I took to Bermuda and hope to finish it before the next one in a few weeks.

Hoping everyone has a terrific Saturday!

Stay safe, have been watching Yellowstone and holy cow, if that is what Montana looks like, what a gift it is to see that each day.

Stay safe Holly and enjoy your scrappy time 
 

DH is determined to put Christmas away today. DD has gone out to a friend's bday party and will be gone all day. I'm trying to copy edit (because all those "future me problems" are coming home to roost now LOL!) while also putting Christmas away because nobody knows how it all fits in the boxes / space we have for Christmas except me. That's the thing about living in an NYC apartment. All of Christmas has to fit in the hall closet, except the tree. Also, I'm a little neurotic about HOW it all gets put away.  Anyway....that's what's going on here. And I'm also putting together supplies pics for my next few layouts. I can't think creatively right now with everything everywhere all at once LOL but can at least get stuff together. I'm also putting out supplies from the team stash list so I have them handy and maybe they will inspire some ideas. 

Happy Chilly Saturday Cherries!

It's 26 here at the moment... we are forecasted to get some winter weather tonight through Monday or Tuesday.  I'm in my scrapbook room at the moment.  I made a quick run to the grocery store to get a few things in case we do get snow/ice - extra drinks, some snack stuff - having 2 teenage boys for the weekend, the snack stuff and fruit goes fast.  

I'm hoping to spend the biggest part of the day in my scrapbook room today unless I catch a nap later on... Hope you all are staying warm and crafty!
