Ahhhh, our new home.

Mine is just to apply online to at least 5 jobs each day.

Thanks Pat!

1. finish up the details left on the pink cards and package them up to give away.
2. Start getting the pictures off the old computer.
Since #2 will take forever, that's all for now.

Pat, the old computer is hooked up and running because DS is playing a game on it so it won't be too hard.
I am not sure what they are going to do with the cards, journals, bookmarks and wall hanging we made. I will turn them over to the person in charge of the support group. I told her to use them how ever they want. I haven't made a plan to turn them over but as soon as they are ready I will contact her.
The other things I made have been turned over. One auction was last Saturday and the next one is this Saturday.

Did you pin the journal you like? I will try to go see it. I haven't been on Pinterest for a long time.

I did go there and looked around. I actually got away!!! haha

It looks like we might go north next weekend. (17th) BIL and SIL are moving in to their new house and we are going to help. They tore down their cottage and built their dream "retirement" house. I am looking forward to seeing in completed.

My friend whose house burned down is still waiting for theirs to be finished. They are hoping for May.

Good morning ladies!

I am getting a little bit of an early start today. My Thursday hours people are going out of town so I can start early. We will see if I get out the door. haha

Tonight we have small group, other than that, nothing going on. How about everyone else?

good morning... it is quite windy here today, but is going up to 70ish, so that is do-able.

From my list, I am going to work just on the page kits today. Trying to take them one set at a time. I am not going to have the 20 that I hoped for, but I have some back up projects that I can work on if by some chance I finish all the page kits at the crop.

Rhonda, I hate dusting also. Seems like it accumulates faster than I can get it all. I think part of the problem is we probably need to have our duct work cleaned out. Maybe I will look into that.

I am off to M's to see about the little books, then back to get the scones baked. I soaked the raisins in Grand Marnier so they need to be made today. Pictures will be on FB later (hopefully).

Have a productive day everyone.

Good morning everyone!

Pat, are you making Drunken Raisin Scones today? Are you doing something special with the scone pics? I may have missed that. You probably got the wind we had yesterday. It's still a bit breezy here and we have rain this morning.

Lizzy, I believe you prefer a hot tub to a pool:) I don't like my pool water too cold but it's so refreshing when it's not too warm.

Nancy, I got up early this morning because we had a heating and cooling guy coming to fix our heat pump. I had to clean up the dishes from dinner last night and get a shower in before he got here. He was here right at 8.

Paula and Rhonda, I hope you are having a great day!

I've got to go register online with the KY and IN unemployment offices. You can set up your resume and search for jobs there. Then I think I will hit Pinterest for a while. I'm looking for some Art Journal ideas and outside gardening ideas.

Later!

Good afternoon!

Laurie I bet you will get a lot done with your early start to the day.

Paula yes I am putting pictures on the table tents. I just need about 6 more pictures. Is there much to do at the cottage at this time of year? I think we always have our to do list we just never seem to put it in a list form on here!

So I didn't get much of what I wanted to do. I spent my time looking through the ads for my Saturday trip into town and then scoured all the coupons as well as online coupons to bring with to get better deals. They have some good ones at Target right now with the Kellogg's products. Buy 5, get a $5 gift card. Add the coupons to that and it will make some of the products really cheap.

Hi friends! It felt like it was a crazy day...first I had a kid cheat on her journal writing which just turned me inside-out. Then, we were interrupted about 30 minutes before Language Arts ended to go get our photos taken. The rest of the day felt out of synch...oh well. I left work at 4:00 and got home by 5:00 having made a stop on the way. I took a cat nap while Terry was making dinner. I think I have to go to sleep early tonight, though, because I am getting too tired.

My to do list (by the end of Sunday):
--plan my next math topic
--plan my social studies project
--plan a project for idioms
--plan a project for multiple-meaning words
--plan a writing for response to literature
--grade some papers
--have Terry take some laundry upstairs so it can be put away
--work on more laundry once there is room in the laundry area
--move scrapbook stuff upstairs
--move large tub into garage and put quilts into it
--call this guy in Houston about working on Sarah's condo
--decide about working in April and taking time off in May
--decide about postponing trip to visit my mom until May and going to Houston instead



That's about it...it sounds overwhelming, but it really isn't too bad. I think much of the planning I have half-way done. Lots of the planning I do inside my head when I shower or drive and then I just have to get it down on paper. The rest of it, I just have to actually try it out on paper to see if it will work.

Well, ladies, I have to go. I am so incredibly tired tonight. I'll have to hit the hay earlier than ever tonight. I thought I could make it...but obviously I can't. G'night.

Good morning!

Lizzy A child cheated on her writing journal? That seems odd. I just wouldn't figure a journal would be something you would cheat on. Hopefully she learned her lesson and won't do it again. You do seem to have a really long list to get done by Sunday but if a lot of the plans are half way done then it won't be too bad. I hope you got a good nights rest.

Pat sorry your scones didn't turn out the way you hoped. When will you remake them? Will you remake them before they need to go into the magazines or is this one of your recipes you've made before so you know the recipe is a good one? HOw exciting to have them be in a online magazine! Good idea waiting to go to M's until you are over there. I made some extra cards one day using the coordinating card stock packs. Some of them had die cuts with them so it made it super simple. I love those packs for cards. The paper choices are nearly done you just have to figure out how to put them together! I should do that again. I liked having some choices when I needed my MIL's card. I hope you get your cards done quickly!

Laurie talking about cards made me think of your card challenges. I think I used all of those cards from the challenges. Do you have any card challenges brewing?

RHonda what have you been up to?

Talking about card makes me want to make some but I have to work. I suppose there is rest time, but I still have things to do that I didn't get done yesterday. They will wait though, a few extra cards in my stash won't hurt!

Rhonda they are actually full 12 x 12 card stock paper packs. I guess I made it seem like they were card packs. Sorry. They are the ones that have PP and often solid and then die cut shapes and sometimes stickers. Although I am sure they make card kits too! I hope you HOrnets win tonight!!

Nancy, I don't know when you will pop in but I am trying to use CDS and I know you have done a lot with it.
Is it possible to remove part of a shape to make a new shape? We are combining two letters but there is a part that hangs over that we don't want. Can that be erased so it doesn't cut?

Thanks

Well, I think my students are not very happy with me...but the feelings are mutual. I am so very tired of them talking despite my telling them not to talk. I took away their bathroom sticks this afternoon and put them in the cupboard, at least for a week, until they can stop the excessive talking. There are certain times during the day that I do not want them to talk and ask them not to talk, but they ignore it. Anyway, thankfully, it's Friday and they have the entire weekend to get over it.

As for the cheating girl, she comes from a long line of children who misbehave, have nasty attitudes, who are disobedient, etc. She is merely following the long line of problematic youngsters in that family. The parents have little control over the kids. Fortunately, I found a classroom in which she can sit during her recesses and I don't have to deal with her getting up and playing instead of sitting on the bench. This will be much more punitive for her. I really don't have any expectations that she will reform because I believe it's too late for her.

Today was a less crazy day until the afternoon when we had a fundraising assembly which blew the afternoon apart. Oh well...I guess we gotta raise the money. Whatever! I've got to cover some ground in social studies on Monday and Wednesday. Then, I'm hoping we'll be ready to start our social studies project. That alone will likely bring me to my knees because of the writing component! LOL

Pat, your scones project sounds like it's very exciting! I've heard that scones are not all that difficult to make. Would you agree?

Rhonda, I hope you get the extra work with the accountant. That would be really nice to have some "fun money"!

Paula, I trust that Nancy will come in and help you with your Design Studio difficulties. I can't help you at all because I never used it.

Nancy, how's your weekend shaping up?

Well, friends, I'm going to say good night and do a few things before turning in.

Pat, I did not put CDS on the new computer. I will leave it on the old one and take that downstairs by my Cricut. I figure after we transfer the files we want, I will dump a bunch of junk and it will be fine to use for CDS.
I did get the project cut. As far as combining the two letters, we will just trim off the part that stuck out that we don't want.
As far as not being able to cut because it didn't reconize the cricut and all my files being lost...the computer was signed in under DH's account, not mine so my files didn't show up. When I signed in as me it had all my files and it cut without a problem.
Katie had doodled something on her arm that she really likes and asked what I thought of her getting it tatooed...I said...hey! why don't we cut it out of vinyl and you can put it on your bedroom wall, look at it awhile, and decide if you like it well enough to have it forever...haha. So it's cut and will probably get put on the wall tomorrow
Pat, your scone project really is pretty cool!! Something you like and are good at that you get to have some fun with!!

Lizzy, you sure had a trying day!!! Sure glad it's friday!!!

Paula, glad you figured out your problem. I misunderstood and thought it wasn't working on the new computer.
That was a lot of pictures you ordered. I still need to print more out. Maybe I can do that tomorrow.

I was going to get to bed early tonight, but decided to get all the society paperwork taken care of, so I am not faced with it tomorrow first thing.
Jim's aunt called earlier and we talked for a long time. She wanted to know if we were planning a visit anytime soon. I guess we better find a day (or 2) to go down to VA. hmmmmmm How can we squeeze that in.
