Good morning! It is a bright and sunny day here, warm, tomorrow is supposed to be cooler which is perfect for me.
I'm commenting below on the chat I read this morning on the previous thread. We'll see how that goes!
Jan, my DD1 doesn't handle dairy so I make a lot of vegan things for her and then DH is vegan. There are a lot of good vegan recipes out there - and a lot of bad ones too. So it is trial and error finding the good ones. That cashew cream recipe is a fabulous one.
Jayne, so glad the store let you return your stamp set and get something else. Sending hugs...will have to investigate WhatsApp. I think I did before but didn't connect with anyone.
Jean, because we are vegetarian/vegan in our house, the sushi we get are the California rolls. I'd say the seaweed is my least favorite part of it but my girls love it. In fact, I will get the seaweed snack packs at Trader Joe's and they'll just eat it plain!
As for reality TV, I generally prefer shows that admit they are scripted. But I do love to watch the Amazing Race usually. I liked seeing different parts of the world and often their challenges used to be something connected with the culture of where they were so that was fun too.
Good Morning! Thanks for the new round of challenges Ann. I'm going to print it out and try to stay on top of things this round.
One more sleep Catherine and it's your birthday!!! WhooHoo! I went back and read that recipe for Cashew cream...sounds very good.
Jayne, glad to read about your progress on WhatsApp. Hang in there! You know were all pulling for you! WHO doesn't have multiples of stamps and inks? Ha ha ha!
Well, I'd better get my rear in gear...lots to do today! Hugs all!

Linda I think that sounds good. The theme is Fall/autumn if I recall. It’s your interpretation but Ann and others will confirm.
Thanks again Ann for all of your hard work on this. I’m looking forward to okaying and have one card on the go from a challenge a couple of weeks ago so will out that against the first one.
Catherine, hope you join WhatsApp. It’s easier for me to let people know what’s happening but all good so far. I’m having a good day and heading to my play room. I also email Ann and if she doesn’t mind she might be able to forward my email on to you and others who are interested. Basically I’ve seen 2 specialists and have 2 more to go..another one was thrown into the mix yesterday. Until they join the dots no decisions will be made.
Have fun everyone

Ann I love the new challenges, I’m still not totally in the craft zone yet, I’m only getting an hour each day after we’ve finished our jobs for the day, who said retirement is boring!
HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY Catherine! Yay...you get to open all your cards now! It's so much fun be part of the Alphas, especially on your birthday! HOPE YOUR DAY IS AWESOME!
Congratulations Annette on your prize! Like Ann said, I hope it gets marked gift so you don't have to pay for it!
Gotta run, Mahjong at my house today!

Catherine- OK- it is really your Birthday!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! Hope you have a fabulous Day!!!
It’s Thursday. We watched the VPS debate..so refreshing and better than the last one. They should be running lol.
I’ve got some of work to do and then I’m hoping to create..my brain is swimming with ideas. That’s a good sign *wink*
Catherine hope you had a great day and evening
Forgot to say..glad you joined us Shelly. Great group of ladies on here.

I am headed to first stamping class in forever! LOL. I don’t know what to expect! But I am looking forward to it. Then DH is going to pick up food from one of our favorite places for late this afternoon. Hope I get home by three.
I'm quite honestly surprised at the openings when numbers are clearly going up in our state. I go to Walmart once every two weeks and card class once a month (only 7 of us at most...6 in october). That's about it for my going out.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Catherine! My card is still sitting on my dining room table, so you are going to have one to open later, lol. I’ll try to get it in the mail today!
Hi Karen, good to see you on here!
Annette, congrats on your DTGD win!
Here is what I’ve been working on all week, a rose-themed journal for my oldest daughter for a Christmas gift. I will fill it with photos for her, and I have a special necklace to put in a secret pocket. I’m working on one for me now, and then I have plans for one for DD2 with birds and flowers as the theme, as well as photos and a special necklace for her too.
On the MMJ thread there are several more photos. I only photographed some of the ideas as there are way too many enclosures.

Good morning! Thank you all for the birthday wishes. It was a lovely, quiet day. DD1 has a lot of turmoil going on right now so that has put a damper on things for me, at least.
I went out to lunch with my co-workers, which was tasty and fun. However, eating out is nothing like it was so we brought food home for dinner and ate at home with the family in the evening.
DD2 made a delicious, from scratch, orange cake for me. So yummy with home made orange frosting to go with it.
I opened a lot of beautiful cards from you and others and my brother, SIL, and nephew came over and had cake and ice cream with us.
I love those mice, Kathy, and that bouquet is gorgeous, Dagmar.
If you would all pray for DD1, I'd appreciate it. We had a mostly calm, fun teen years with her, perhaps the turmoil is late in arriving? She only has 10 days left of being a teenager.
Kandie, that album is gorgeous! I look forward to your card when it gets here.
One thing to note about being isolated is that also weakens the immune system.
Jayne, glad you had a better day, hope you had a chance to get inky.
Jan, I have not received your card yet - something to look forward to! Thank you.
I so agree, that we have an wonderful caring, and very talented group of ladies on this thread!! I appreciate every one of you!! Hugs!!
Ann, you're an amazing hostess! Thanks for all your work and inspiration for the Alpha group! It is a loving and talented group of ladies! So happy to be part of it!
Shelly glad you joined in, too!
