Hey Cherries. Chilly Saturday morning here today. Makes me not want to come out from under my cozy comforter. When I do I’ll be getting in my scrap room. After the busy week I had I  plan to have a scrappy weekend. I have a lot of challenges that I want to do.  

Have a great day Cherries. 

Good Saturday morning. I slept in . At least it was sleeping in for me after having the minion. She’s not any problem, just busy! I swear she grazes all day. We walked around the block to get some fresh air and just about got blown away. We built a fort. And she played with her auntie’s old Polly Pockets. Oh, yes, she painted. And we had to tape it up on the wall. It was a fun day.

Looking forward to a mostly chill day. Need to run to the grocery store. And they say rain, maybe snow. We shall see. It is grey out.

Good Morning Cherries!  I've been up a couple of hours but I don't feel like I've gotten anything done other than making a bigger mess.  I started rearranging things in my scrapbook room so I could get a power strip to plug in my Gemini (I've never used) and a small mini fridge to keep a couple of bottled waters... I've pulled everything out that needed to be moved - but now I can't find the power strip.  It's probably buried underneath a pile of Bazzill or something.  So now, I'm going to see if I can find a rogue power strip to use so I can get everything back the way it needs to be.  

It's a chilly day here so I'm not planning on going out unless I absolutely have to.  WIsh me luck finding a power strip in this mess!

Happy Saturday Cherries.  Have popped in a couple times this week but only for a minute or two. Busy week preparing for Spring Break.  Book club today then super clean and then pack.  I cannot go on a trip unless the house is spotless...crazy I know but can't. Why I don't know because there will still be people here so makes no sense but works for me.   Hoping to get a couple more challenges in before we leave. So many great ones to do this month 

It's the beginning of my spring break, but the weather isn't very spring-like. lol  40 degrees and overcast.  Bleh....  But, I have a week to myself to do whatever I want!

We are having a really cold spell here, too.  Typical...in time for spring break in Ohio.  lol  Sounds like you had a lot of fun yesterday!

Thanks so much 
 

Hi Cherries! Haven’t been on much the past few weeks. Super crazy ( crazier than the normal crazy- what is THAT called? ) at work, and doing stuff at the house too. 
well I’ve been planning and deciding things on what to do next to my house. So that’s fun- had told myself this week … “Susan you have enough supplies and gorgeous stash to last 5 people’s lifetimes! No buying- start decorating the house!”…
flash forward to last night looking at the site to see the updates looked at the shop and preorder …. OMG Bella Blvd. Has a new puppy line!!! It’s adorable!!! I already have butterfly kisses in my cart …. So into the cart went the new puppy collection! I mean I have 4 puppies, I scrap my grand puppies and my sister’s puppy too! 

LIES !!! it’s all LIES! Now I’m singing the song to my self Lies… tell me sweet little lies… tell me lies oh tell me lies!!! 
ok … so after this order, no more scrappy shopping! 

oh back to your regularly scheduled posting!!! 
have a great Saturday!

I found the power strip!  DH had snagged it and was using it outside to build the greenhouse.  I've got it now so I'm back to cleaning the scrapbook space up!

You have been busy this week, Barb, and you DEFINITELY deserve a day of crafting! Hope you have a great day!

Hey Leslee, that minion is super cute! LOL I love how easy going kids are to have fun! Glad you got to spend some time with her!  
Hopefully you won't get any snow! Have a good day!

Good luck finding that power strip, Rebecca! LOL I swear we're twinsies! I mean, Girl, I lose everything too! NOT for lack of trying NOT too! I can't help but laugh because it's soooo relatable! I KNOW how frustrating that is, too! If it's not glued down, it disappears! I REALLY hope you find it!

I'm excited for your vacation, Kristin You work so hard and deserve it for sure! (I was an education major once upon a time and teachers work harder than a LOT of people think!) 
I kind of understand wanting the house clean before you leave. I KNOW it's nice to come home to a clean house! We all have our quirks though- so if it makes you feel better to clean before you leave, you should!  
Oh and yes! So MANY great challenges this month and I'm stuck on one!  
Stay blessed, Kristin!

Woohoo Laura! You made it to spring break! 
I hope you have SUPER fun times relaxing and doing whatever you want to for a whole week! You absolutely have earned it! (Not everyone can teach, ESPECIALLY at an older level!! You must have the patience of a rock!)
Stay blessed my friend!

You crack me up, Susan! I'm glad to see you on here; I can only imagine how busy you've been! 
AND, I bet you have so much fun decorating!  
And as for shopping, LOL! I told myself no more paper but am eagerly awaiting a box full of goodies, including some of the new Pretty Little Studio! (Which I think will actually match the collection I already have!) It is what it is! I LOVE the hold my order feature here and that's why I'll have a big box coming! (Some of the orders go back to December! So, I'm excited!)
I tell myself I'm NOT buying anymore either! At LEAST we're aware of how much we don't NEED the new stuff! BUT, with 4 puppies and grand puppies, you KNOW you'll use that collection a LOT! (Now I have to go check out the collection to, just in case! )
Have a wonderful day!! Stay blessed!
 

Hey Cherries  
I woke up mega early, coughing, and had a cough drop and went back to sleep eventually. I slept WAY late today but don't work until 5 so it's okay!  
Courtney brought some more things in from the shed last night and MAN lol we just keep throwing out junk and bringing more inside! I DEFINITELY feel like we have SO MUCH to do around here, but it will get done eventually! 
In the living room, I'm gonna clear off a few shelves for miscellaneous and tools and things that are currently stored in the middle room but need to come out. DEFINITELY slow moving on this project, but I ALSO still have a few things that need to go into my bedroom. (LOL extra art stuff and  what have you.)
Besides all the other stuff I plan on decluttering,  there will MAYBE have to be a slight purging of items at some point. IDK!
So many things are in boxes and more are going in boxes for a little while. (Though, I STILL want to find time to finish at LEAST one challenge this month! The month is flying by!)
I do KNOW that I'm feeling better in general. Besides this pesky cold!  
Stay blessed Cherries! I've talked enough today!
