  1. Nothing like waking up to a flooded basement.  I've spent all day cleaning it up

      I just saw this - how terrible. Flooded basements are no fun!

      Oh no. Its the worst. We have terrible pipes in my city and in addition the sewer water is combined with the regular. You have to mop with bleach to sterilize everything. We haven't had a back up in a couple of years though we did have to pay to get our pipes replaced. 2 years ago was the big flood when there was a failure at one of the pumping stations. That was a beast- 2 plus feet of crummy water. Even the walls had to be cut. So sorry Angie!

      That's the worst, no fun 🙁

  2. How was it 80 yesterday, and we woke up to it being 19 this morning with ice on the ground.

      Same in MI. It's so weird. I had to run out and buy my foster puppy a coat lol.

      Wow, that’s drastic! I can handle the 80 degrees but that 19 degrees is not fun. Last week in one day we had a 38 degree change from the time I started working in my garden till when I finished. Winter isn’t leaving quick enough.

      Nope but I'm going to the party at the club to socialize and play girl games in the corner.

      I'm not a huge fan, but the game will be on here!  I'm wearing my Chiefs shirt (since I live in the Chiefs Kingdom) but will be reading or scrapping during the game.

      I have ties to both teams, so I don't care who wins. I'm just pleased that they're both there.

  4. The flu has hit our house...everyone but my husband has been hit (he left to go out of town yesterday)

      Update #2: Our official snowfall this week was 25.5" and it was -17F this morning when I woke up. With the wind chill it felt like -41F. Did I once upon a time say I liked living here because the seasons change?

      Today our club will be serving almost 60 people. 4 turkeys, 3 hams and sides with desserts. We are helping in the kitchen, I'll do what I can with my arm in sling still. Then on thursday we will be having 8 people over for Friendsgiving. Lucky I will have help from my friends...Happy Thanksgiving to all who celebrate.

  20. Sorry all...I did not change the blurb at the top of the newsletter this week.  This should of been what it said:  A new week, a new challenge -- and this one is new all the way around! We want you to tackle using ombre on a layout this week. Ombre is a French word that means a color that is shaded and graduated in tones from one color to the next or from light to dark tones. Try using ombre in a paper, as an effect on your title, or in an embellishment Need a little inspiration? Scroll down to see what our Creative Team members have produced in their sample layouts. Play around with ombre this week and then post your layout in the Scrap Girls Gallery!

    1. MariJ

      MariJ

      Thanks Angie and I am SOOoo grateful that the sale lasts longer than the activities.   I'm normally scrambling around on the last day after trying to finish up all my layouts and games with little time to shop well.   Now I can take my time!
