Celestine

I am forever thankful I found SG and all of you! ❤️ My scrapbooks have been so private and I never share outside of the family as I dont think I know what I am doing. You have all been so wonderful encouraging me to share and then helping me make my pages so much better. When I have questions you all answer right away!! From emails answered within an hour to many questions @Celestine who answered them all and then some. @MariJ @Jane in N.Z @Boatlady @barbaraj and so many others! Your positive comments on my pages means more to me then you will ever truly know. Thank you so much for being supportive and a wonderful group! I have found my new home away From home and feel so loved! Thank you!!!!

Got my 4th Family Cookbook sent off to the printer yesterday. Four cookbooks in seven months. Just one more to do this year. Yippee!

I hope you all enjoy this month's ScrapSimple Club, Bundle of Joy. It was definitely a labor of love.

I had a ‘first’ on Friday. I am bald, and covering my head with scarves and wigs has become a pain, and it’s hot. So I thought, this is me now, if people don’t like it or are offended by it, it’s their problem. (It’s taken me 3 years to accept this) so Friday I was in line at Costco to pick up meds, when I suddenly felt a finger rub my head. I turned to see who it was, and it was a man in his mid 70’s who said “nice, I love it” so I quickly replied, “it’s not by choice”. Isn’t that crazy?

Tomorrow we leave for our 4 1/2 month summer trip. I will try to keep up but I do know some of our camp sites will not have cell service. Phew after all the prep work I need a vacation.

My granddaughter is 21 today...how does that happen?

We are leaving shorty to go to TN to surprise my brother for our 70th birthday.I'm so excited to see him it's been almost 3 years.

I won't be around much, we are going to a week long Grand Design camper rally so not sure how internet will be.

Yay, we are out of the ICU. She is still on the heart monitor though, but we’re in the regular ward now. She went for a walk today and has her sense of humor back. We’re so happy to be here. More info tomorrow.

We are taking youngest grandson out for lunch for gator bites, then on an air boat ride and afternoon at the pool. He is going to sleepover but has to leave tomorrow morning so we have to fit lots into this day.

Andres has survived having her one kidney removed today.  She is in a lot of pain, mad and the nurse for delaying g her sleeping tablets and pain meds, otherwise she is in good spirits and sends love to y’all. This is her sister Melody.

Turns out it was an F1 tornado that touched down in our town and the National Weather Service posted the stats. Yep, our house was on the direct path. The sound of chainsaws has been nonstop since Tuesday. 

As of Friday I won't be on SG for a while, I'm having surgery, they're removing my diseased kidney. Eek. I'm a tad nervous. A 6 week recovery.

Our house has been a mess since Feb 20 having new tile put in 3 rooms...well last one was supposed to start today but is delayed as he is putting his mother in alzheimers hospital. Oh well what can you do. I feel sorry for him, he is such a wonderful man.Oh well it will be worth the wait.

Grandbaby #12 arrived about 30 minutes ago! 

Today is my 12 anniversary with Scrap Girls. I must say, it's been an awesome 12 years.

It feels like I’ve spent a month at the hospital. I’m so tired. Between my sister having emergency brain surgery, and @ broken wrist from the fall that caused the brain bleed, and my neighbor who came to my house and collapsed in my arms saying she’s I’ll and needs help. She stayed in the same hospital for 4 days. They both went home today so I can get my life back together.  Long story on my 42 year old neighbor. 

I have started a new thread HERE  for those who use Scrap Girls products for items they have created that was not for a challenge or game. 

Happy birthday to Angie!  I hope your day is filled with delight!

Happy 15 years at Scrapgirls to me!!! As of 1/17! FYI, I will be out of touch until next Monday. Have a great week! 

I'll be moving in Feb - yay, but what a PIA! Been busy packing, saving my computer 'til the last minute. I'm in a bit of a panic bc the main internet providers do not service that very rural area! Any suggestions on what I can do?

I'm sorry I'm not LSL on the layouts. The power situation is getting worse and when we have power, I just try to stay up to date. 

My twin brother is getting a replacement shoulder today and I am feeling sluggish...it's the twin thing!!!

So not wanting to be here. In hospital, on Christmas! I am severely dehydrated, immune compromised, no Covid, but they’re admitting me. So not wanting to be here. Merry Christmas to all!🎄🧑‍🎄🤶🎅🧑‍🎄🧑‍🎄

Who all is in this path to be hit by the winter storm tomorrow?  I just looked at our temps and at one point the wind chill will be -51
