Day 55, Thursday, February 24, 2022

 

I picked up my pottery bowl that I painted at Art at the Bodega a couple of weeks ago.  I love how it came out!  The left side is what it looked like before it was fired.  The right side is the finished view!

Day 54, Wednesday, February 23, 2022

 

I went to crop at Timeless Treasure Market tonight with Lisa, Pam, Bekka and Eileen!  I stopped and got Chic-fil-a salads for me and Lisa!  Time always flies by when we are crafting together!

I hope Snoopy and Woodstock get their prayer answered!

Day 49, Friday, February 18, 2022

 

The snow plow came through early this morning and closed off the opening to the driveway.  Jim got out there a shoveled it clear right away.

Day 48, Thursday, February 17, 2022

 

Oh my goodness!  Is is ever going to quit snowing.  This is how much it snowed today!

Day 47, Wednesday, February 16, 2022

 

I just bought the We R Memory Keepers project cart!  So far, I love it!  We do have to make a little adjustment in one wheel because it is a little off balance!  The trays are removable, too.

Day 46, Tuesday, February 15, 2022

 

Coco went outside to potty.  When he came back inside, he was limping.  I picked him up and dried his paws off, because they were snow packed.  He still stood with his left paw in the air like it was hurting.  I picked him up and this acorn shell had engulfed his paw pad and that sharp pointed piece was poking him in the foot!

Day 45, Monday, February 14, 2022

 

Happy Valentine's Day!  Jim sent me a beautiful bouquet of flowers from the Greenhouse!

Day 44, Sunday, February 13, 2022

 

Well, it snowed today!  UGH!

Day 43, Saturday, February 12, 2022

 

We went to Art at the Bodega!  It was great to have some time with my friends to paint.  They all painted a "hello" sign.  I painted stoneware and will have to pick it up after it has been fired.

Day 42, Friday, February 11, 2022

 

I have seen many 4-year old's in a Batman t-shirt and they are always very confident!

Day 41, Thursday, February 10, 2022

 

I always try to say this when I have to leave a vacation site.

Day 40, Wednesday, February 9, 2022

 

We just booked a cruise to Alaska in June of 2023!

Day 39, Tuesday, February 8, 2022

 

I needed to make some "kid" themed cards for birthdays for my nephews!  Doesn't' get any better than Dino's and Spiderman.

Day 38, Monday, February 7, 2022

 

We had our 1st card swap of the new year!  I have the most talented friends to share my love of cardmaking.

Day 37, Sunday, February 6, 2022

 

I worked on my Fernwood album most of the day.  I got all the "loose" ends added.  I can't wait to get photos in this album.

Day 36, Saturday, February 5, 2022

 

Lisa and I worked on the Fernwood Class at a crop, today.  We got all the paper cutting done.  Now to assemble and decorate!

Day 35, Friday, February 4, 2022

 

I have been working on some layouts using Vicki Boutin Color Study.  I found most of the examples on Pinterest.

Day 34, Thursday, February 3, 2022

 

I made this background yesterday.  I wanted to photography it so I would be able to remember what colors I used.

Day 33, Wednesday, February 2, 2022

 

Today is Ground Hog day.  I found two different meme's for Ground Hog day.  I also Zoomed with my friend, Lisa.  I made a bokeh background and Jim moved the snow, again!

Day 32, Tuesday, February 1, 2022

 

It was warmer, today.  Jim smoked a stuffed meatloaf and a chuck roast.  I made vegetable beef soup out of the chuck roast.  We had a couple of meals out of the meatloaf and I put the rest through the food saver and into the freezer.

Day 31, Monday, January 31, 2022

 

This is what he does all day.  He watches us with his eyes.  Never moves his head.  Oh, Coco, you have adjusted well to mama and dad being retired.

Day 30, Sunday, January 30, 2022

 

Jim got his second shingles vaccine this morning.  He was NOT happy!

Day 29, Saturday, January 29, 2002

 

I took this picture of our back door window, this morning.  It was so cold out the glass had frost on it.

Day 28, Friday, January 28, 2022

 

I painted this owl for my mom in 1984.  It is a reverse glass painting.  I painted from the back of the glass, doing the details first.  I used a piece of wallpaper for the backing in 1984.  I replaced the backing with ink and stenciling details.  I am considering painted the wood frame, but not sure if I want to.

Day 27, Thursday, January 28, 2022

 

Our temperature sure in crazy!  That's what we get for living in Central Illinois.

I made Grilled Chicken Nappa Cabbage salad with warm soy dressing for dinner tonight.  It has been a while since we had this salad.  It was so GOOD!

Day 24, Monday, January 24, 2022

 

I have been packing my snow babies away in their boxes.  We moved the TV and I don't really have a "great" place to display them right now.  I was surprised I still had all but one box.  I don't think I ever had that box.

Day 23, Sunday, January 23, 2022

 

I have been doing a lot of scrapbooking since it is so cold outside.  We really don't go very far with the way the weather has been!  35 layouts to file in my albums.

Day 22, Saturday, January 22, 2022

 

Today was Lily's 3rd birthday celebration!  She is as pretty as a princess!

Day 21, Friday, January 21, 2022

 

Congratulations to my nephew Pete and his lovely wife Kaylah.  They were married today in Cancun, Mexico!

Day 20, Thursday, January 20, 2022

 

This is another photo that I took in the park.  The children's playground was really bright against the cold winter landscape.

Day 19, Wednesday, January 19, 2022

 

How does he do this?  I can't believe this little guy is almost 10 years old and can still twist his body into these crazy positions!

Day 18, Tuesday, January 18, 2022

 

Happy Birthday to our great niece, Lily.  She is 3 today, going on 13!!  She will have her birthday party this weekend with her family and friends in Iowa.

Day 17, Monday, January 17, 2022

 

I stopped in the park to take a couple of photos of the snow.  This photo I converted to black and white, just because there wasn't much in the photo that wasn't a shade of grey already, except the sign on the hospital on the right side.

Day 16, Sunday, January 16, 2022

 

I have been saving photos on my phone for scrapbook layouts I want to make.  I have been loving the cutfiles backed with patterned paper.

Day 15, Saturday, January 15, 2022

 

We enjoyed our first crop of the year at Timeless Treasure Market.  We had lunch from Biscuits & Gravy.  Cindy and I left at about 4:30.  It was great to spend some time with our friends after the holidays!

I placed two items in the auction at Timeless Treasure Market.  The one on the left is a crossbody purse.  The one on the right is a Vera Bradley wristlet.
