Happy Monday! I hope you all are having a great Monday so far. We rested, did a little shopping and other routine things. Weather has been sunny and clear. It had been cold but yesterday was almost HOT. So our weather is all over the place. LOL! So much of my cleaning is done now and I do feel so much better. I am ready to get on my craft table. I haven't spend much time there but now that things are more organized it feels like it is time. Heck, I might even do some scrappin.

I have to scoot over to the gallery and see more of your creations.

grammadee - Safe travels!

nylene - Be careful out there in snow and cold. Sending you some virtual hot tea.

scrapincin - That happy turtle is so cute! Thanks for sharing him with us.

Happy Wednesday! and last day of February! Yikes! I just don't know where this month went.

@elaynef, how's your dd? Did you already go home or are you still there?

scrapincin, thanks for the jumping turtle, it's so cute. Your cards is beautiful too.

nylene, that was nice of Steve to do the shopping for you. Can you trust him to do that without too much extra things?

I'm sorry I haven't really been around. I'd say I've been super busy, but I feel like the whole month just slipped away. Yes, I was busy, but I don't feel I accomplished anything.


Last Saturday, we went for a little walk and found our first geocache. It was very exciting. We can't wait to go find another.

On Monday while I was gone, my ds threw up 3x. When I came home he was feeling better and said it was my fault for leaving him with his dad. haha. Yeah, Don was feeling the love. He was joking. Of course, I sat with him the rest of the day. After some food and cuddles, since I didn't know if it was a cold (he has finally started to outgrow the throwing up at the start of a common cold) or a stomach flu, I asked how it all happened. Nope, neither one. It was a really bad migraine. I have a niece who frequently throws up with migraines and she gets them quite often. DS had one in winter of 2016. Then again Monday. He's been struggling with his sinuses lately and maybe with the warm front that moved in - that was the trigger?!. Luckily he was all better yesterday.

On Tuesday, the repairman said $600 for parts for my washer which has been giving me fits. I don't think Don paid more than $400 for the machine. What, the, What! The plus side is I will finally be upgrading! I was hoping to get something as high quality as the one I had in our other homes that wouldn't fit here (non stackable) but in a stackable set. No more lugging king comforters to the laundry for me.

I always felt like February, March, October and November were my most active scrapbook months but not this year. I've had very little time to create in February, only like the first week and just a page or two since. I signed up for Calvinball, but other than a 2 day crop and a day each week earmarked for scrapbooking, I won't have the almost every day access of last year. My earmarked home days, I plan to do digital pages as I can complete them much more quickly. And I'll be setting aside one day for a pocket page styled layouts that I always put off (that was inspired by my personal challenge in the 28-4-28 challenges here). Hopefully I'll still be able to create a bunch of layouts.

OK, after not really being on this thread much at all this month, I just wrote a book. Sorry.

It looks like many of you created so many pages during the 28-4-28 challenges. I love seeing the layouts. I hope everyone had a fantastic and productive February!
