Hey Cherries. I finally have a day with no place I have to be. Going to finish the online Defensive Driving course for my deduction on my insurance, then off to my scrap room I will go. I’ll probably watch some of the madness today too as DS’s team plays later this afternoon. 

Have a great day Cherries. 

Good morning. I also have nothing scheduled today. 

I've been playing with my craft supplies this morning. I have been using my stamp/die sets on watercolor paper and then coloring with distress crayons and water brush. Not sure if I like them as much as using marker paper and copics, but it's always nice to have different looks. Hopefully I can use the ones I've made as embellishments. BTW, I'm only doing this with fruit. I think the grapes look better with copics, but the pears and pomegranates looks nice both ways. I also picked out paper to use for the weekly sketch card challenge although I have absolutely no reason to make a card with the paper other than the challenge. 
 
It's supposed to be cold today even though it's now Spring. I'm sure I'll get out at some point today.

Have a great day!

Good luck finishing up that safety course today, Barb! Hope you get to have some scrappy fun today!
Have fun watching DS's game!
 

Hey Cherries  
Nothing too exciting today. I'm working 12-7 and I sooo want to go back to bed!! Having some coffee and trying to wake up! I'm having some carpal tunnel issues but nothing I can't handle! Still, I wish I had time to sleep some more! Lol!
Have a great day, Cherries!

Not so quiet here this morning. The minion has no daycare today and the alternate care giver is sick. So the minion is with us today. We have already been painting. She made a pretty nice flower. I got her new paints the other day. Grandpa made her Mickey pancakes for breakfast. So I won’t have time for scrapping today and will be worn out by bedtime. I told her it needs to warm up some before we play outside. Another windy day for us.

Have a great Friday!!

Beautiful, sunny, windy and only  42 degrees today!  Wind gusts up to 40 mph and just about blew me away when I went for the mail.  Not much going today again.  I'm working on getting my crop stuff organized, selecting photos and papers to work with and taking some pictures.  Tonight, DD is spending the night and we are going to Harrisburg in the morning to watch my niece's sons wrestle in a tournament.  Not all day, but it will be nice to visit for a bit.

Brrr Vicki! Stay warm! Safe travels tomorrow! Hope the team does really well!!!

Hey Cherries! Yesterday did NOT go as planned. The food delivery was nowhere near as big as it was supposed to be which wound up being good because I ended up with tummy issues again. No clue what’s happening as I haven’t been eating anything new or anything. So I ended up being home all day. So I didn’t get much done at all. I did get my layout posted at last. Lolol! 

Oh! And it’s STILL raining!!! We got 4” between Wednesday night and noon yesterday. It stopped for a bit and rained all night until about half an hour ago. Will be interesting to see what the rain gauge says this morning! The sun keeps trying to peek out but then another shower comes through. Ugh!

I didn’t get to town yesterday so we’re going today. Need a bunch of staples. After that I’m hoping to scrap and clean all weekend. 

Have a great day everyone!!!

Good afternoon. Nothing much going on here. Our cleaning ladies were here this morning and we are having left overs for dinner so I've ben scraping most of the day. 

Happy Friday Cherries! 

It's a little chilly here today and not expected to warm up too much until next weekend.  I've been quite productive today already - so once I get dinner ready to go in the oven, I think I might spend the rest of the day in my scrapbook room - and watching the NCAA Women's Tournament.... my Lady Vols play tonight at 8 but I enjoy watching the game, so I'll watch whatever games are on until then.

Hope you all have a wonderful start to the weekend!

Well did nothing all morning. Fixing to go to grocery soon.  Sons will b here for supper tonight .   Grey and cold out but dry.   Exciting life huh? 

have a fun Friday.
