Cookin' Up Creations

Good morning ladies! What's on your plate for today?


Today is going to be another stay at home day with the pups. They were pretty good yesterday while I worked around the house. I managed to clean off the mantle for upcoming fall decor. I also reorganized the floor of the pantry and cleaned the crate room.....that was a tough one. I also washed another load of dog laundry before I went to bed last night.

Today I'm really hoping (fingers crossed) I don't get sidetracked again. I have a pic of Lola I want to scrap and I also want to make a card for the card challenge this month. We'll see how the day goes. Hopefully I can stay focused.

I have a nail salon appointment at 11. Quick trip to the grocery store. TRYING really hard to avoid a trip to Michael's or Joanns.
Other than that, not sure what else. I'll be scrapping until I figure it out...lol

mom back in hospital after almost home 2 weeks with me staying with her. Awaiting a call from the nurse with an update now.

praying for her

I'm waiting for our online church service to start. I had planned on going this morning but got side tracked with the earthquake. Cleaning and scrapping this afternoon. Have a wonderful Sunday!

Bev, sorry to hear about your mom. Praying she's better soon.
Patti, I just heard about the earthquake. Any damage in your area? Hope you are safe.

Went for my walk and read the Sunday paper which took a while today. It had a huge section about the 75th anniversary of us dropping the a-bomb on Nagasaki. I found it interesting and learned so much. I never knew much about it, don't recall studying about it in school. Those poor people....very sad.
Only plans for today are to bake some unicorn sugar cookies to take to Jersey for our granddaughters.

Jan - fingers crossed you get to scrap today -
Bev - praying for your mom
Patti - I've been reading about the earthquake this morning - I live with a conspiracy theorist so you can imagine where the convos have gone this morning, especially with Jackie here too.

We've been outside this morning watering the plants, and hanging with Miss E while she plays in the kiddie pool. Just lots of hanging out with the kids and enjoying everyones company this morning. Harrison is currently asleep and the chaos is very minimal today. Thank goodness.

I did tell Jackie I had some site work to do today, so maybe I'll spend some time doing that as well. Shawn went and picked up my 2 cabinets from Michaels yesterday and has one put together. . . one more to go (all minus the wheels)
. Hoping to fill these with punches and extra adhesives, and stuff like that.

Tammy so happy you have a start to your scrap room furniture! Love the drawers
Patti Earthquakes are crazy. Be careful sometimes the after shocks are almost as big. When we had one a couple months ago. 5.6 the after shocks were 4.6 and 4.1 strong enough to still feel.
I am just hoping today to get a handle on my scrapping assignments that are stacked in piles on my desk. I need to do finishing touches and get organized for posting this month. Finish a couple of retreat projects and then get onto the current album I am working on. We are having a chill at home day so that can happen. Yesterday was fun with our activity and such but I was too tired to exercise and slept nine hours last night straight except for the 1:00 am charlie horse that was so cramped I couldn't relax the muscles for a bit. Then I was able to go right back to sleep.
Happy Sunday!!

I wake up fairly often with them, and they hurt like a son of a gun!! I've found that as long as my feet are uncovered, and the sheets / blankets are untucked, I don't have them . . .
