Hey Cherries. I never got to work on the progressive challenge or the card yesterday. I’ve been feeling a bit off with sinus pressure and have been limiting my motion as to not trigger dizziness or a vertigo attack. Ugh. Hoping to get to working on them today. We’ll see how it goes.

Have a great day Cherries.

Awww Barb, I hope you feel better! Sinus pressure is no good! 

Hey Cherries 
Well work was hard because it was pretty slow and time drug on. I'm sure I'll get used to it. 
Omer's other DGD came over last night and was VERY disrespectful. I understand that she's grieving, but he would be VERY disappointed to see her act that way. 
I need to do some adulting but I'm starting with coffee. REALLY I JUST want to lay back down. Therapy is at 5, so I have plenty of time. 
Stay blessed, Cherries!

My sweet friends, Barb and Holly, I pray both of you feel better soon! My heart goes out to you both.

I had a lovely day Monday. I drove my DD and I up to Jacksonville to attend Grandparents Day at their school. As always, a joy to spend time, even if only an hour, with my babies!

Haven't been playing in the craft room, have errands today, maybe this evening.

Oh no Barb! I hope the sinus issues go away soon! And I hope you can get your projects done! {{{HUGS}}} and prayers!

Sounds like a tough day! Why do people have to be so nasty and rude? I hope and pray today is better!!!

Joyce Ann, what fun! That’s a pretty drive in parts. Hopefully the traffic wasn’t bad! We’ve driven that road many times when we lived down there.

((Hugs)) Holly. I feel so bad for all you are going through and all the adulting you have to do. I get wanting to just lay back done, believe me I do. Hang in there sweetie.

Sunny and cold here today with a lot of wind.  Another good day to craft!

Hugs and prayers for all of my Cherry pals!!  Feel better and hang in there.

I scrapped again last night. Trying to get more layouts finished for Team STINKERBELLE! 

The weather report for today said we’d get snow but so far the snow hasn’t come down this far so we’re getting rain. Hopefully it stays that way for the next few days because it’s supposed to get super cold the first 2 days of February. We aren’t looking forward to that! Lol! I guess it’s partially payback for “sharing” our cold weather with the Lower 48! Lolol!!!

 I need to go over to the cabin and bring more things over. We’ve run out of plastic forks that don’t break if you look at them wrong.   Steve hooked up the kitchen sink drain but it doesn’t go through the floor yet. But it means I can do a bit of hand washing here now which will help a LOT! I told Steve the other day we’re not camping or glamping. We’re gamping! Lolol! It’s far better than what I had when we first moved here in late June 2016!!! While he built the initial parts of the cabin we had a cargo trailer that we’d set up a bed in and a space covered with a blue tarp and a plywood floor with a table and a couple of shelves! Took about 6 weeks before we started to move into the cabin! We didn’t have electricity for about 2 months. When we did get it I was so excited because I could finally have ice in my tea!!! Hahaha! Ahhh the memories! 

Hope you’re all having a great day Cherries!!!

What an adventure you have had for the last nine years!  It amazes me that you have internet through all this camping, moving, and gamping!  And that you can craft through it all!
Here I am, complaining of cold, snow, rain, wind, heat, you name it!  LOL
Hope you have a great day!  We appreciate you!

More complaining following…. I had a bad day with my shoulder, arm, yesterday.  I spent a lot of the day with the heat pad.  But I am the land of the living today.  I finished my step three for the Winter Progressive Challenge, and got it posted. 
I am glad Gina is working hard getting LOs done for Team Stinker, because I kind of fell off the wagon!
Oh, but the good news is I finished my January Junk Journal for The Dear Julie Challenge.  I cleaned my room up from that mess!
I Skyped a couple of hours today with some crafty friends.  Now, I am going to go back to the heat pad.  Oh, Idid do my home PT, but not yesterday!

I hope Barb has a better day, and Holly , too.  Saying a prayer for you both as I type this.

Howdy.  Still cold and blue skies.  But finally rain this Friday/Saturday.  
washed my hair and swept the floors.  That’s about it so far today.  Lethargy and ambivalence rule!  Got my two orders from here yesterday.  Opened them, then set them on the table  and did nothing with them.     lol. My friend coming over tomorrow will b a good energy booster for me.  I’ve known her since I was 10 and she’s always full of let’s get going. 

Have a good Tuesday and stay warm. 

Barb, so sorry you are dealing with those crummy sinus issues!
i WAS SUPPOSED TO GO ON A 4 DAY CROP LAST WEEK, BUT THE day before,
I woke up eith flu symptoms.  Fortunately, I had not paid anythin tg yet,  tso I was able to cancel. 
I got out of bed to refill my water to find it was 88 degrees IN the house, and in the teens outside!
I did have q wcratchy throat, but the fever  was the heat, lol!  
 

i

Since I didn't feel like doing much moving around today I sat and digi scrapped. Yeah there were lots of other things I should have been doing, but digi snapping can be done just sitting in my chair. lol.

I had photos pulled last night and the basic outline for the sketch - nothing else. Tonight I finished the layout and I'm happy with myself for that. I went through a box of odds and ends and managed to add some to my page. I finally came up with a title, that was a struggle. Took it from Creedence Clearwater Revival song.
I think I am done for the night! Good night my sweet friends. May you play hard and sleep well!

Awwww!!!  Thanks so much Sharon!    Scrapping is my ultimate sanity/therapy/stress reliever.  When we first got here our phones didn't even work on the property!  We are 25 miles over a mountain pass from the nearest store but we have a very good library here.  So we'd drive over to the library and sit in the car and use their internet to communicate with the rest of the world.  It took awhile before we were comfortable spending the money on a satellite dish service.  Now we have an unlimited fiber optic service and it's not cheap but we both use it a LOT and use it for TV and everything.  My scrappy things (and almost everything else) was in storage for a year so that was tough.  But as soon as I could I got Steve to set me up with a small space and it progressed as the cabin got additions.  I only have a table and floor and wall space right now but I'm making it work until we get to working on the downstairs where my room will be.  Steve actually said a couple of weeks ago that he was amazed that everywhere he's moved me to in the last 23 years since I discovered scrapbooking I've been able to carve out a space for myself.    I know from experience that SOMEDAY this house and all the rest of this property will be finished and looking great.  So it's worth it to be a little inconvenienced (or maybe a LOT!) for awhile (or longer)...  LOL!  Oh and at the moment it can't decide if it's going to rain or snow so it's doing both...  There's a winter storm warning for the whole island so we're snuggled in after going to the cabin and getting what I needed for now.  Steve's napping but I'm going to have to wake him up soon to put the birds up.  Then I'm going to make Valentines Day cards for my grandkids  till I have to make dinner and then again afterwards.

Oh Sharon!!!  I'm so sorry your shoulder is acting up so badly!  I think that's the worst pain I've ever had in my entire life!  I'm glad you're back in the land of the living today.  Good for you finishing your Junk Journal!  I hope you're having a much better day today!

I'm glad I'm not the only one that lethargy and ambivalence rule over sometimes!  LOLOL!  That and the I'd rather be scrapping too.  LOL!  I hope you have great fun with your friend!  How wonderful to still have her around after so long!
