My son, his wife, and two of my grandchildren are coming over tomorrow. First I have to go to Curves so I can get in my 3 weekly workouts. Then I have to pick them up. They are spending the day with us. There is fresh snow for the grandchildren to play in so they will have a blast. I also will be baking cookies with them. They are looking forward to that! So am I!

Well, both my kids are supposed to be with their fathers according to what they said. They are both still here. Lily's dad called and said can he get her tomorrow. Jeremy's dad is still at work, but even when he gets off work I am not holding my breath. I have some toffee orders to get done tomorrow and a few experimentation's on new flavors, but other than that I have no plans.

I am making a lemon one. I made it last week using my sisters lemon flavoring before committing to buying a bottle of the Lemon oil in the brand I use. It was good, but needed more lemon. So I am going to tweak it. It is Lemon toffee with White Chocolate and fresh Lemon zest on top of the chocolate. It actually tastes kind of like a lemon shortbread cookie. I also got some cashews, macadamia nuts, and Brazil nuts to try different nut combination's. My sister asked me to try Apple Flavored toffee, so I got the stuff to make it too. My cousin wants some Irish Cream flavored, so I am going to try that one too. So there will be: Lemon Apple Cashew Macadamia Nut Brazil Nut Irish Cream

Tomorrow evening I'm going to Owasso to visit my sister. My birthday is March 1st, and she asked me to come down and spend a couple of days with her kind of a pre-celebration since I'll probably not see her on my actual birthday. I'll be coming home Tuesday morning. She's made reservations at a Japanese restaurant, and she seems pretty eager to see me. Which is a change.

My daughter has a cricut, I got to use it the last time I was here. I love it, so now I'll get to use it whenever I want too! lol Sounds like y'all accomplished a lot. By the way, are you a member on scrapbook.com? If so let me know and I'll look for ya there, it's a fun way to share pics of the layouts you do.

So much fun! I hope she scored and found some good stuff for you! We each got about 14 pages done today. It was the first time she used the cricut and she was going home to ask her husband if she could get one! LOL

probably be doing what i do every day of the week. Stay home and be bored. I hate winter it seems there is nothing to do unless you are spending money doing it. I use to be into scrapbooking but I am not very creative so I quite doing it because i couldn't think of any ideas to put on the pages.

I am leaving in a few minutes to babysit our little grandbaby. My daughter wants to go workout at the gym and her husband is working. It's only 7am...lol We have plans later to meet up with softball friends at the casino. Should be fun. Tomorrow I have a bridal shower and then dinner with the softball team and parents. My husband coaches girls fastpitch softball so we do things with the girls and their parents on a regular basis. The team practices all year long. They are inside in a school gymnasium during the winter months. Enjoy your time scrapbooking tomorrow with your friend. What exciting new projects do you have going on for your upcoming craft sale? You always make interesting items.

Actually I am doing some table runners for spring...and besides that I haven't got anything new lined up yet. I have windows to paint though as I only have one left...and I learned how to make my photos transparent so I can put my poetry over them...I got some barn wood made into frames....got a great photo of an old farm building..so I just have to write a poem about a farm....where I live is mostly rural! Hopefully that will go over with the farmers and their wives!

Your day of scrapbooking sounds like a fun way to relax. You sound like one crafty woman, I must say. I don't have any special plans this weekend. I finally got the pool cleaned today, I just hadn't been able to get out there with my health stuff, teaching, my clinical work, and trying to keep up with indoor house chores. It really needed it and it looks alot better. This a.m., I did some house chores (fun, huh?). First, I scrubbed down part of the guest bath wall. I've been stripping wallpaper and now I'm trying to get all the glue residue off. Then, I scooted out my bed, washed the wall behind it and the back of the headboard also. It's pretty dusty in there, I don't deep-clean in there as much as I need to. After lunch, we went and toured some new condos on the harbor and they are gorgeous! We wonder if we would enjoy living in them as we age. We figure we'll eventually gonna get tired of doing all the yard work, taking care of the pool, etc. That's probably the most interesting thing we'll do this weekend.

Sunday my grandson is turning 3 and we're having a birthday party for him here...in this house that I still need to clean because I've been so busy getting the shop ready.

Saturday (today) we went to get the animals some feel this morning and did a brief stop at the local gardening center for some potatoes and onions to plant. Then it was a brief stop at the grocery store. I come home and put on a crock pot of beef stew and my SO is outside planting the onions and potatoes. The rest of the day I will spend working when it is busy. I work online so I can come over here and post when things are not happening with the job. Tomorrow I will work more and relax when I can.

I really do not have any set in stone plans. Tonight is my night. I'm not planning on doing anything aside from catching up on Mylot and making some money, not to mention just messing around on all the sites that I normally check out during the week. I'm also going to watch some TV. Tonight is a big relaxing night. Granted, we have some cleaning to do because our roommate is lazy and messes the entire place up and expects us to clean up after her, so we will be cleaning. After we clean, I think we're going to make some pizza and then I'm not sure. Tomorrow is still really up in the air. I'm not sure what is going to happen tomorrow or Sunday for that matter. We just kind of go with the flow.

Hey jill! My weekends are usually filled with chores that my boyfriend wishes that I would do during the week while he is at work! He figures if he is at home watching over me I will be more likely to get them done since he will be annoying until I do! I can't complain because he goes out and does the laundry! He even folds it too! So tomorrow I will be polishing and dusting the furniture, cleaning the kitchen and bathroom floors and some other fun stuff! But, it's ok! Oh, and then there's the cooking too!

I like a clean house myself! So it really doesn't bother me to spend time doing it.
