Woohoo! Moving day!

[annsforte3]

It's good to be up and about! Getting tired though!

Silly spouse asked if he could eat something this morning!! I laughed and said are you kidding, want to start over again with throwing up???

[annsforte3]

Sorry, Kathy, your card will be late!

[lacyquilter]

Ann, it is so good to see you feeling better. Thanks for posting the new round.

[muscrat]

No worries Ann. That's how I knew you were really sick! You are always the first card I get but I was sick two weeks ago, so I totally understand!

[annsforte3]

I feel bad though, Kathy! I hate to be late with someone's bday card! Hope you have a good day!!

[muscrat]

Anyone try today's tutorial? I need to try again, if I can find the right kind of die. Just didn't care for this one.

[Hawaiian]

So nice to see you Sis Ann!! But I knew you would come hell or high water be here to get this new round kicked off. Hope you rest more and take it easy ...I just know with hubby being sick that’s going to be highly impossible because I bet his going to forget your not well either but men are such big babies ....well at least most of them ...I know most men I’ve known are way bigger babies then my kids were lol...
Well guess what? I thought we were safe online that the bug can be passed around online ? Ha!!!! After our short chat Sis Ann I started !, and now I’m have the shitty problem too...can’t eat because if I do I definitely need to do it sitting on the shitty throne!!
Yeps just getting over one issue now Another has set in!! Yuck!! Not even just crackers work . It don’t stay in!!

[annsforte3]

I didn't do it, Victoria!! I would not wish this on anyone!!

Sorry you are not feeling well!! Rest!!

[Art Deco Diva]

Happy birthday Kathy! Sure hope you are having a fabulous day today!

So sorry you have been so sick Ann. Ugh! Thank you for making the effort to post the new round for the alphabet challenge. You have terrific ideas and they are appreciated! Take care and get better soon...hugs!

Hello everyone! Sure hope this finds you having a good day today. Three of our 4 cats have hairballs so they are wanting lots of attention so not a good day to get inky.

Take care... ~Karen.

[hotwheels]

Hello everyone,

Things are not looking good, for my mom all her blood missed up again. We stay until Friday Ct scans and bone scans. My mom has knee problem. And I really need a friend I am the end my rope. And just lost another friend last night to cancer. I can't help but, think the worsted. Jesus has to help us. That's all I can say! I am broken heart. How many times am going to have to be broken heart. Please Please Please prayer for us! Thanks Linda
PS I tried of the crap and the third degree I am getting! all the tears and worried and frustration And because my aunt and good friend die yesterday. I thinking mom is next and that hurt me. The doctors have not said that, But I am so scared Parents having said much this time around! That makes worried even more. But they have not done the tests yet.


Can someone make sure that sally see's this note. I was supposed to turn a Su order in Thursday. And that's not going to happen now. No regular email access!

[lacyquilter]

I have to admit, I do like the letters in order better than mixed up. Probably just part of the way I think. I usually organize things alphabetically if I can.

[Art Deco Diva]

I am praying for you and your family Linda. I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your friend and your concerns for your dear mother now. That is very hard indeed. Know that we care what you are going through... Big hugs! Love, Karen

[lacyquilter]

Sorry to hear that, Linda.

[hotwheels]

Ann So, We not doing nature things this time around? from what I read am right? Thanks Linda

[annsforte3]

Hi Linda, you are correct! Just any item that begins with the letter of the week!!

It's an easy round! I think we all needed it after the last round! LOL!

Prayers for your dear mother too, Linda!

[cdimick]

Yay, so happy to pop on here and find that Ann was well enough to pop in today. I hope you aren't pushing yourself too much, Ann! Rest and get fully well!

Oh no, Vickster, you aren't allowed to catch the problem through the phone lines! Get well!!!

Linda, I'm sorry to read of your additional loss and your concerns for your mom. Know that you are in my prayers.

Kandie - your mini clutch is adorable!

Kathy, I liked your tutorial card. I haven't watched the tutorial yet but I think your card turned out beautifully.

Karen - so nice to see you here on the chat thread too!

Melody, what have you been up to lately? Do you have card class coming up?

[annsforte3]

night all!

[cdimick]

Sweet dreams, Ann, get better!

[lacyquilter]

Catherine, card classes are next week and the following week. I should be creating for them, but haven't really been in the mood. Maybe I'll go work on this week's letter and try to incorporate that into a class card. I find my cuttlebug class is easier to put cards together, but the technique class is more fun.

[JRHolbrook]

Ann, so happy you are on the road to recovery! What a nasty illness! Thanks for posting the next round! What a trooper you are!

Sorry to her that you are sick now Vickster! Crap!!!

Prayers for you and your mother Linda! So sorry about your friend.

[Kemernow]

Good morning! Ann, so glad to see you up and around! PLEASE don’t overdue, with the illness still in your home, you don’t want to relapse.

Kathy, your debossed card is lovely! Believe me, it is perfect.

Hello, Karen dear, so nice to see you! You were so quiet for a while, and I missed you. Good to see you on the chat thread once again.

Linda, you and your family are continually in my prayers. The loss of two beloved people is such a blow. God is with you in your struggle.

Melody, I know what you mean about being not in the mood. I seem to be there along with you, just can’t seem to settle down long enough. I do wish I lived closer, though. I’d love to attend your card classes!

Good morning, Gracie, Catherine and little Sis, and everyone I missed!

[muscrat]

I'm gearing up for a two hour walk through Walmart! If I had known for sure I may have skipped the walk video, but mom just called. While I was on with her the doctors office called. We were waiting on authorization from insurance for DH's migraine shots. He's totally out but once a year I guess they need to authorize them because they are expensive. I think they pay $1500 every month and we pay $10. Just glad the authorization came through. I called MondayMonday about it.

[Vannie]

HI, everyone. I joined Splitcoast fairly recently, just as the last Alphabet challenge was finishing. It took me a while to understand that Ann was not well and that Ann is the one who posts the challenge.,I'm glad you are feeling better. Hope your whole family is well soon. I'm looking forward to participating, this seems to be a very do-able challenge list.

Welcome Elaine! Yes, the list looks very doable! You will especially enjoy the chatting that goes on! So many wonderful, funny, loving ladies on here!

[JRHolbrook]

Good morning Kandie! I was looking for a clever saying or funny picture from you! I love it when you post those little tidbits!

Ann, I hope you and your DH are feeling a little better this morning. It takes awhile to recover from such a nasty illness! Take care of yourself dear!

Kathy, those darn medical expenses can be so worrisome. I'm so glad the authorization came through for your DH. Enjoy the Walmart Walk!

Welcome Elaine! I just joined SCS last year and did my first Alpha challenge and loved it. Wonderful group of ladies!

Melody, I hear you about not being in the mood to create some days! It's such a strange thing...some days I'm so motivated and other days, I just can't get going! Today is a gray dreary day...no get up and go! I seem to be much more energetic and motivated with sunshine.

Aloha Sis Vicki and hope you are feeling better too! Holy crap...it sounds like you had it bad!

Hello Catherine, Shirl, Linda and everyone else out there! Have a great day!

[muscrat]

OK ladies....so I read Ann's challenge post again, and I see I missed something. The challenges she listed are double challenges but we can do anything using the letter of the week. My first card was an anniversary card, thinking that was the challenge, but that's the double challenge and I could have done anything with the letter A! I've got it now, Ann! Cool.

[cdimick]

Good morning from rainy Northern California. We'll see what happens tomorrow. My phone's weather app shows a snowflake for tomorrow where I live.

I'm still not 100% but was happy to wake up without the dry mouth this morning.

Here is a funny sign I saw:

My biggest fear is that when I die my husband will sell my craft supplies for what I told him they cost.

Kandie - how are you feeling this morning? Headache free I hope!

Kathy - extra steps for you today, right? Are you back yet from your walk through Walmart?

Welcome Elaine/Vannie! Glad you have joined us. This is a wonderful group of ladies.

Melody and Gracie - I'm glad I'm not the only one who isn't always motivated! Unfortunately for me, it seems like when inspiration hits, I have to go off to work.

[annsforte3]

Welcome Elaine!! So glad you are joining us!! We have a great group of ladies here!!

I'm doing better! Stomach does not like food though yet! Nothing tastes good and I get tired easily! It will take time.

Spouse is in the "everything out the back end stage"! He wants to eat but you know where the food ends up!

I am hoping this round provides people with lots of inspiration! It's easy I hope for everyone to participate!! Do you thing everyone!!

I got my sheets pulled off and in the wash but that's as far as I have gotten today!!

Hi everyone, thank you for the wonderful well wishes while I wasn't feeling well!!

[lacyquilter]

Welcome Vannie. I think you will find that most of the people on splitcoast are wonderful, sharing, generous, helpful people.

[lacyquilter]

Kathy, most of the time I don't do the double challenge. For this card I really don't use many anniversary cards, so I made mine a birthday card. And, I did manage to work it into my class cards for next week.

[muscrat]

I probably won't do the double challenge on them all, but I'm glad I re-read the post here at the beginning. Glad Ann is getting better. When I was sick, it was just a horrible cold. I didn't spend time in the bathroom. I just had the runny nose, sore throat and fever and aches and pains. I was glad when it passed, but I'm still sneezing a lot.

I got happy mail today! Off to write thank you PM's!

[lacyquilter]

I just saw a coyote out back. Not exactly in our yard, but at the back end of a neighbor's and then moving on into the nature center area. We hear them at night, but I've never seen one here before.

[lacyquilter]

This was too good to pass up.
