Random things from a Wednesday morning:

[Rubia Padilha]

* today I dropped my entire coffee on the table and I cried.
* I've already put clothes in the washing machine.
* 16 years ago I was releasing my first kit.
* I am here finishing the Cut & Keep #3 - the new series I am doing with Val - and if you don't know it, you are missing it.
* I can't remember the last time I made a CT call - but I think I need to do one.
* wish I could leave on the road, you know? have a big bus/house and go to places and take photos and write about it.
* march 18 and it is HOT over here. we are getting 33ºC, google tells me it is around 91.4°F. hot.
* I think one of my cats is mad at me because it was his fault I dropped my coffee on my table and he knows it. but cats, huh?
* oh! it is not about today, but about next week: starting something new with @KristinCB - you are going to l-o-v-e-i-t, I am sure.
* ok. 9am, time to stop scrolling and start working for good!

Tell me something about your day so far.

Hope you have a good one.

Happy sweet 16th anniversary! You know I am a super fan!

I am getting ready to go and clean my mom's apartment. She doesn't clean anything anymore so this is an hour drive each way and then high level power cleaning to get it all done. Maybe I'll stop at Trader Joes and treat myself on the way back.

do you want to come to Brazil and clean my house? I give you free products for life. hahaha

GO AND TREAT YOURSELF FOR SURE!
You deserve all the good things - don't let anyone tell you otherwise! (maybe this could be a kit theme...)

Now you have me wanting to get a tattoo too.

I also just want to travel around, taking photos.

It's my mom's spring break (she's a teacher) and I really want to go on a fun adventure. Maybe Friday, if I'm lucky.

I should probably be working on this month's challenges but I'm tired. I'm also about to be out of coffee because we didn't go grocery shopping this week.

hoping you will be able to go and have some fun with your mom!! and that your coffee is super good because sometimes, go out of our 'normal' is a little gift. <3

We are also having a very warm week! Today is going to be 88 degrees.
I am excited to see your new releases!!

 

[Romajo]

Happy sweet 16 designerversary!! Milestones need to be celebrated.
Can't wait for new releases, esp. if it's a new serie of collabs with Kristin.
Loving some of the tattoo ideas you shared, but I don't think I'll ever be brave enough to get one done (my husband has 1 big one and is looking for a second one, my daughter recently had her 6th tattoo done).

Yesterday I had a job interview on the phone (after being jobless for 13 months now), today i received the message they want to make an appointment for a meeting at the office. Excited!
The weather here in the Netherlands is lovely spring weather with temps of 14/15C (57/59F). Sun is out, blue skies with a few clouds, flowers and trees starting to bloom. Just the right weather and time of the year for me.
This morning I washed my duvet, now I'm waiting for the linen to be washed and dried...

* 16 years ago I was releasing my first kit.

Happy design-a-versary!! Which kit was it?? Do you still have a preview?!

* I am here finishing the Cut & Keep #3 - the new series I am doing with Val - and if you don't know it, you are missing it.

here for it!

* I can't remember the last time I made a CT call - but I think I need to do one.

Dreams do come true!!

* oh! it is not about today, but about next week: starting something new with @KristinCB - you are going to l-o-v-e-i-t, I am sure.

Cute kit, Rubia. It makes me smile would love to see a CT call from you, and can't wait to see some the new collabs with Val and Kristin

Finished my coffee a few minutes ago, without spilling it thankfully!
The pets are taking their morning nap time next to me, and it just makes me want to curl up on the couch with them. It's almost time to get dressed and take the dog out for his late morning walk, but I don't want to as it is cold out there again today. At least the sun is out today, so that helps a little? It will be too hot again by the weekend, Mother Nature is crazy lately.
I have to go over to my mom's house after that and clean up for her. She has been disabled for many years, but refuses to go to an assisted living place. She broke her hip right before Christmas and now the disabled part has gone up another couple of notches. I have thoughts and feelings on her whole situation, but don't really feel like she hears me most of the time.

I'm in a scrapping slump of sorts right now. I want to work on some things while my CT designers are not as active, but they are larger projects I haven't decided on direction for and it is holding me back on getting started. I spent a day sorting out my gallery here - deleting the duplicates (having 3 copies of pages was driving me nuts) and tagging all of the designers that are still here on the old pages. That at least felt satisfying when it was all done!

• I'm sore....not sure why but it beats how I felt this time yesterday.
• So enjoying learning even though the digital skills micro-credential I've been doing since Feb 17th has been a lot. Got two more weeks to go plus one assignment due April 7th....must get started now that I've received positive feedback from the first assignment that leads into it
• Applied for a job the other day.....hope it was worth the extra time & effort I put into it
• Really want to scrap but no time or brain power right now or for the next two weeks.
• Got limited sleep last night & looks like it's round two tonight....going to be a "fun" zoom online class for my micro-credential this afternoon if that's the case....oh well, it's only an hour or so I need to truly be human for

 

[aussiegirl]

-My to do list keeps getting bigger, while the things I have crossed off is getting smaller!
-Some weird guy just approached our back fence (we back up to a school parking lot), while my puppy was outside. She barked at him and backed up (I went to the window to see what she was barking at) but he kept approaching the fence/her. I knocked on the window to get her attention and opened it, and she came running back to the fence. Just weird. We have gotten a lot of "Found dog" posts on a Facebook post for our area, so not sure if it's related. She is a reactive dog, so I guess that came into affect in a good way today!
-I haven't scrapped in a week or so, but I need to just jump back into it! (too much going on, why are wedding so difficult and expensive!?)
- I would love to be on your CT if you do a call!

 

[KristinCB]

this canadian is still in her hoodie when it's below freezing LOL. 18 and i'm definitely in a tshirt and shorts I don't handle the heat well at all.. ugh. We don't even get bad humidity here so i'm not sure what I would do if I had to factor that in as well haha.

I think this was my first collab with @mirjam! and a kit to one of those blogs I forgot the name - everyone used to go and grab things for free there argh. can't remember. and in one word: love - I don't even remember doing it LOL

you are getting wiser now you can come to canada LOL

maybe costa rica is too hot for us haha.

The sun is an interesting thing! Where I live our winters we still get a lot of sun - we have so many days in the winter with blue skies and sun..other places are cloudy and grey all winter long.

it was about time for me to start getting wiser, huh? LOL but in Canada you have 18ºC during the summer... so no Canada for me during Winter. lol

 

[Rubia Padilha]

adding to my random list:
* I just ate chocolate powder straight from the can.
* my kid is still somewhere with a friend - so today I had lunch in silence and alone - it was not that bad.
* I have no idea what I am going to cook for dinner.
* my new kit with Val has sardines! and they are SO cute. ♥
* I've decided that if I ever have a lot of money, I'm going to buy everything new for my house, and I want bedside lamps in my bedroom, and no, I don't have any.
* I want to go to Italy again and make a "cooking class" there.

 

[3BluEyedBabies]

Happy 16th Anniversary @Rubia Padilha -that is awesome! I am so excited to hear bout a new collab with Kristin-can't wait to see it! And a CT call would be wonderful!

Not much is happening here. It's cold's, about 33 degree F, but at least the sun is out. I've been stuck with a cold for about 10 days now, and just feeling tired and worn out. Not to mention my brain is barely functioning- might be age...who knows!

My daughter is running in a track meet here in PA this weekend (she goes to college in Rhode Island), so looking forward to seeing her and hoping it doesn't rain. Most of her meets are too far away for us to go to.

Besides that, not much to say...

how many times do i need to tell you that we get above 30 in the summer lol

and it gets dark at 11pm and light at 5 am LOL

 

[Cheryl Ashcraft]

I'm still healing from my back surgery. I'm at Day 23, so still have more healing. I'm trying to take it slow and easy but since my brain is on overdrive not having to work through a fog of pain, I have so many things I want to do around the house as well as creatively.

It's 60 degrees here, which is cold for this Florida girl. Tonight's low is 37. Things are heating up though and by the weekend we'll be a high of 77 and a low of 60.

• Made the bed
• Washed a load of towels (now need to move to the dryer)
• Heated leftovers for lunch and watched a couple of YouTube videos
• Finished product for release this week
• Spent some time organizing paperwork/medical bills
• Updated planner and Google calendar

 

[angiekey]

I love reading everyone's randomness!

• I'm feeling like a car that's approached 100,000 miles with all the specialist referrals my primary care doc has sent me to this quarter: cardiologist, pulmonologist, dermatologist, psychiatrist, and pain management specialist. How many "ologists" can I collect?
• Spent the morning on doctor stuff - a blood draw for another round of lab work and my 9th TMS treatment. And making appointments.
• I think the TMS is actually starting to work. "Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation" for my long-term major depressive disorder. I've had these weird bursts of energy and a desire to actually be around people for the first time in ... well, a long time.
• I get to take my 3 grandgirls to the Dallas Arboretum next Wednesday. The cherry blossoms should be near their peak. All I can think of is the photos I'll get to scrapbook!
• Feeling overwhelmed with where to start on my stepdaughter's wedding album.
• My current sewing project is 1/3 done and sitting on the worktable behind me. It's a collared, button-down tunic for me in an abstract purple seaglass print with a white collar and cuffs.
• Thinking of making lazy chicken parmigiana for dinner tonight with breaded chicken strips and jarred spaghetti sauce.
• Just remembered, I think my 2nd cup of coffee is brewed but sitting in my Keurig. I'll need to microwave it.

Off to get that coffee now.
