Meet Charlie

I am happy to report that my cold seems to be going away at a rapid speed. I have never had a cold go away so quickly! I am going to chalk it up to lots and lots of rest combined with those Zicam tabs every three hours. Thanks for all the well wishes! I think they helped, too ;)

This afternoon, I made a new friend. I would like to introduce all of you to Charlie, our yard squirrel. He lives in our large blue spruce pine tree in the front yard, and he often runs around the property hiding his finds and barking at Sedona. Normally, he's too busy to give us the time of day, but today as Travis was leaving for work after lunch, we noticed Charlie peering up at us through the open door. I went to go grab some peanuts for him, and when I went outside, he hopped on the porch rail and eagerly awaited his treats. We have never fed Charlie before, so this was unusual. He was so happy to get some nuts! I must have been out there for a good ten minutes just watching him munch on his little peanuts. It was the perfect opportunity to take some pictures.



Is he cute or what?? I'm quite sure he would have taken the food from my hands, but I didn't want to risk him accidentally biting me. Maybe I'll stock up on some non-shelled peanuts so that I can give them to him by hand.

My AMR monthly kit didn't arrive today, but my 500 live crickets did! Weasley is now a happy, fat lizard. I guess that just means I will have a super mail day tomorrow! Plus, I have a crop to go to in the evening time, so I'm going to have a really great day! I hope my mojo finds me. We've been separated for a while.

Have a great weekend, everyone!

Colds are just nasty little bugs. I've been laying low and trying to take it easy these past few days while this cold runs its course. I've been taking Zicam at the suggestion of a few friends, and I think it really works! I feel like I've been getting better and better ever since I started taking it. If you're battling a cold, I suggest this stuff!

Because I've been snoozing these past few days, I haven't done anything creative even though my new scrap stash has been calling my name ever since I brought it all home. I've been feeling so icky that I haven't even organized any of it! GASP! Anyone who knows me well knows that I'm down for the count if I can't even gather the gumption to organize my scrap supplies. So there it all sits in a jumbled mess on my scrap table. Oh, the fun I'll have looking through it once I feel better!

Today, I'm eagerly anticipating the arrival of my monthly scrap kit from All Moments Remembered. I ordered a 3 month subscription because I was so satisfied with their first release back in February. If you're a scrapper, I encourage you to check out AMR's monthly kits. March has once again sold-out, but if you get a subscription, you're guaranteed a kit each month. Here's the March kit as well as the add-on.

Here's the add-on:

Looks like I'm going to have one good mail day especially since I'm also waiting on 500 live crickets for Weasley. Yum...crickets :)

I hope you are all having a great week! I should be back soon with a few birthday cards since my two girlfriends (my two "paper-chase" gals) are both having birthdays this Sunday, and I really need to get cracking on their cards!
