So, this year's "Project Cozy Christmas" is amazing! There are so many great inspirational challenges to not only scrap the photos, but tell our story! That got me thinking.  What about for the "Project Life 2023", I have a question of the month for you to journal about?  

Preparing for winter this week.  Couple chances of snow and come Thur high in the teens.  

🥲😭 My little Addison is in the ER, suspected appendicitis. She’s on a gurney with a drip, in the hallway! The hospital is full, RSV, Flu and also Covid rising there. Poor little mite. And Nana can’t be there…

 Oh NO!  I lost. a few days to a stomach bug -- sale ends tonight!!!!    Better get shopping! 🛒🛍️

I'm sorry I not been so active on the boards. I'm scrambling to keep up. Loadshedding is even worse. Going off for 4 hours now 20h00to midnight. 

I had to look hard for Project Cozy Christmas. It's moved! If you're struggling like I was you'll find it with it's own heading under Challenges and Chats. It used to be listed with Events.

Esti gave birth to a baby boy. Lukas. 11:40. 2 9kg. 

Esti is in labour. 9cm dilated. It's nearly time for my great grandson to come into the world. 

Oh, no! The cookbook I created and ordered for my nephew's wedding came today but the box was opened and empty with a "damaged" notice from the post office.

Looks like I have moved up a rank and am now a "rising star" ⭐

Hallmark Christmas movies, become too sugary for me. I think I need to dig in to real murder mysteries now for a while...

Happy December!

I finished typing up my yearly letter to send with cards and it was a long one with all that happened in my life this year. Now to write out all the cards and address the envelopes! 

I just bought a drawing tablet & pen from Amazon's Black Friday sale! 6x4 inches, it comes with 8 replacement nibs! Do you have/use one for digital scrapbooking?

Happy Sunday!  What is everyone's Thanksgiving plans?

I have just discovered my zip files for all my purchases from 2007 to 2019 on the desktop computer that David uses. Happy days! 

I found my original SG account & just finished looking through 15 pages of LOs I made from 2007-2009! I forgot about many of them - what a great stroll down memory lane

I'm almost finished with my 2019 Weekly pages! Just two more pages left. I dumped all the photos for the weeks into pages ages ago, but didn't start working on them until late September. Kind of excited to be a bit less behind in my albums.  Hoping to start & finish 2020 by March 2023. 

Ooh...they are calling for 2.5" of snow tonight...it's too early in the season for this!

Well, look at that, I've moved to "Proficient" in ranking.  Who knew???  🤣

I have been MIA for a while. We were away in the caravan for 6 weeks catching up with all the family in the west. It was great to all (17) be together again after Covid has kept us apart for over 3 years. Also I have been pretty bummed at losing my EHD contents. Thanks to our wonderful Angie for sending me download links to my purchases. I have to now unzip & organise nearly 200 purchases. I had a lot of photos that I had saved to CDs & made photo books of all our travels but there are some that are lost for good. Soon I should be able to get back to scrapping.

 I just reached 10,000 posts!  I know I way behind so many others here but it still feels good to reach this milestone. 

So I did a photoshoot today of my nieces family, all 9 of them, triplets included…. Will someone please tell me not to do that again? Wore me out. Their individual photos went great!

Wow the gallery has been flooded many individual members lately. I thought there was limit to how many could be posted at once.

I'm needing more pix to scrap so I'm headed to Scotland in about 30 min!
