Sharon no wonder you are worried, it’s even worse if you are along id imagine.
our DIL went to NYC just over two weeks ago with work, she’s been worried since then but she’s feeling fine, thank goodness.
Tonight I played along with the VSN Challenges ;) It's going to be rainy weather here in OH so it's the perfect day to spend the entire day in the Craft room. I'd like to play along with more VSN challenges but also finish up some VSBN --- I did the first 2 I need to upload ...
Happy Saturday
Good Morning! Well, now afternoon ... here and playing along with VSN ;)
Here is my first 2 VSBN Challenge Pages
Oh, Jan, I am glad you are being careful. We are in the middle of the country here, and it hasn’t got bad yet, and they hope by closing everything early it slows it down. But our DDL is in NYC, isolated , working from home. I feel so sorry for her.
Oh man, NYC is the hardest hit by the virus in the USA so far. Praying for her safety! My 15 year old wanted to go skateboarding today, and we told him he could go because we figured it was a needed break from sitting in his room playing video games and getting depressed, but he was gone a long time and then we got a call asking us to pick him up from a friend's house! So mad at him, especially since my hubby is high risk with high blood pressure, asthma, and Polycystic Kidney Disease. We made him take a shower and wash his clothes when he got home, and are hoping for the best. Still can't believe the other kid's parents didn't tell my son no when he showed up at their house.
On a brighter note, I finished a layout for VSBN! It recalls another not so happy family time, but I tried to make the layout pretty to make up for the subject.
Hope you are all well today. It’s my DH’s birthday. We are having a party for 2 and will FaceTime everyone, including my family in the UK later. We have dressed up and I have put on makeup and perfume lol.
We had a bad night and I have chronic sinusitis today..yuk. I am hoping it doesn’t get worse and turns into an infection as there’s no way I am going to the Drs surgery right now. I slept well after having stayed up the previous day for 20 hours. There was no way I could have done another night of VSN or I would have probably only got 2 hours sleep in 36 hours. I wish they would spread the days out a bit to allow for people living in different countries...oh well, I guess the majority live in the States and Canada on this site. DH also had a bad night so we are both totally whacked today, even though I slept better than he did.
I am over making cards for a few days and want to get on to the VSBN challenges first and then pick the card challenges back up. I’m hoping that the current VSBN challenges will go over into April as I doubt I will get any done today as I promised to do the kids challenge with the poppets today or tomorrow and make flowers via FaceTime. I just need to work out how to do it myself first and right now my brain can’t compute craft lol.
Jan every time we watch the news and what is happening your way I am glad that you and Steve are in isolation. Keep well and safe...everyone. We are in for a long ride. Let’s all come out the other side slightly dizzy only.
Happy Sunday...hubby says I shouldn’t say happy anymore but we need to find joy in the everyday things we have in our homes. Enjoy whatever you plan to do. We start our indoor exercises from tomorrow lol

I got quite a few pages done today while working on my 50th birthday party weekend, so all the pics are the some subject matter. Got to do most of the VSBN, except for the everyday one.
LEA...YOU ARE SO CREATIVE!!! I am amazed at how you just threw this together in so short a notice and it is just so absolutely perfect!!! Really love reading all your commentary in each challenge.

Amy you were busy, busy scrapping! That's AWESOME! I'm glad you enjoyed the challenges. I actually had it written up for a different theme for April VSBN but ... I adapted it ;)
I have a couple other ideas "half-baked" for April VSBN ... stay tuned!
This weekend was VSN CARD weekend here ... I got 13 of the 22 challenges completed which is probably more than I've ever done, LOL! Maybe I'll get the rest completed this week. Now to get them mailed!
Happy Monday

It might take me a while to figure out this site using just my iPhone but at least I made my way in at the very end of the month and letting you know that we have moved obviously which is why I have not been here for over a month and are slowly getting our whole house and life back in order and then you get hit with a quarantine.
Scary times we are going through but so far the family is safe and healthy and Hubby and I stick pretty much close to home. At least we have 4 acres to Walkabout with the neighbors that we can’t see through the trees.
I am just beginning to get some scrapping done and not sure how many I will post as everything is still difficult on a teeny tiny screen. We do not have Internet out here and I do not have another device that will work off of cellular data.
I want to go back and read to see how everybody is doing I did notice that Sharon has been scrapping and posting more so I can safely assume that your hands and arms are much better.
That was quite a scare Cheryl with the kids just not understanding all the ramifications of today’s world.
Hubby just had an out patient surgery a week ago so we have been put...so far it is going well. I do need to call today to get the pathology report on his last visit.😶
Good Morning, I can't believe it's already the END of March ... and yet, it seems this month has been dragging. I'm busy working during the day and scrapping/stamping at night with a little exercise thrown in for good measure. It does seem to be working to keep life "somewhat sane"
All is good, scrap on
I'll be back later this evening to add April's Thread

Amy, just curious what you will be doing about photo printing. I got an email from my favorite online developer (Mpix) that they are closing down for now because of a Shelter at Home order. I'm pretty sure developing pictures isn't considered an essential service to anyone except professional photographers and scrapbookers! I thought about trying Costco despite my disappointment with the last few batches I received from them, but I'm not even sure they will have someone manning the printing area.
Just stopping in to link up the page I uploaded last night, using the pictures I took last Friday. Hoping to get a couple more pages done today but we'll see. Also planning to get to the gallery, but it's a pain on my phone. ;)
Sharon, I am glad you checked in. I have been thinking of you. Glad you that you got moved in time for stay at home or shelter in place. Praying for good results on the report. I hope it will get easier with your phone. Will you ever have internet there.
I have begun to only photograph with my IPad and upload with my iPad, because it is too difficult with my camera. I have t used my camera since December.
Yes, Iam better and started last week crafting again. Am able to drive now, but have to stay home.
I walk around our edition, would be nice to have 4 acres!
Last day of March and I finished my pages! Just under the wire lol.
Amazing journal Jayne! Love all the variety and detail!
Hope everyone is doing well and staying healthy!!
Hi everyone. Good to see Sharon (Sewflake) back. Glad your move went well.
I’m finally out of a sinusitis fog and bad headache I’ve had since Sunday arvo. I don’t know what triggered it off...VSN or something I ate/drank. Today is a good day and I don’t feel like curling up into my doona. I hope to reacquaint myself with my craft room later and pick up where I left off on Sunday morning.
Keep well and sending hugs
