2026 WK 10 Thursday Three

 

1. We've had an adventurous week that included 3 new to us campground stays.. including this [free / airstream] Harvest Host that was a beautiful stop-over.

 

2. And of course you all know we enjoyed our time at The Fort! <-- probably our favorite campground to hang out for a few days. Our days were relaxed, but full.

 

3. We're back in the central x zone, and omgoodness, the azaleas are beautiful down here!

2026 WK 9 Thursday Three

 

1. We had THE BEST time hosting our Alabama Airstream Club's 1st rally of the year last weekend! Over 30 rigs with lots of familiar and new to us faces!

 

2. We didn't even unpack the camper as we'd planned to hit the road three days later and 

 

3. This tree at R. Schaefer Heard Campground reminded me of the song my sweet cousin David sang in church every Sunday he was able: "I shall not be, I shall not be moved..." my Bible study this week has been about digging our roots down deep into God's Word... Love these roots!

Jeremiah 17:7-8 (NIV): "But blessed is the one who trusts in the LORD, whose confidence is in him. They will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream. It does not fear when heat comes; its leaves are always green. It has no worries in a year of drought and never fails to bear fruit".

I'm still enjoying studying

 

 Ephesians with @hellojillsky [Jillian Ungerbuehler] and Illustrated Faith! 

We're taking a deep dive and studying 2 chapters a month as we go verse-by-verse. Here's chapters 3 and 4.

 

And I've already told y'all - I'm using these adorable whimsical winter woodland critters that kept popping up on my socials. I love them and needed a spot to preserve them. 

 So Ephesians it is! 

I also had my friend Al create a few graphics of my sweetheart & me to use... 

My takeaway this month: We should live with humility, gentleness, and patience...

2026 WK 08 Thursday Three

1. Had a great Valentine's Day right here at home...

2. Enjoyed a little crafty time with 'my' Kansas girls.. and decided at the last minute I couldn't resist doing a study of The Gospels with my Knoxville friends - yes I love technology! [Got a new computer too this week and I'm digging through files bc we saved and saved multiple times -lol.]

3. This is my crafty Bible study / crafty bag all packed up for the next three weeks ... I think it might be a diaper bag? Got it a thrifty store for cheap. [ofcourse I did.]

I'm in the midst of another scrapbook

challenge this month.

... and while the challenge is only 14 layouts, my friend Sheri is challenging us to use lots of different techniques and tools...

And it's been fun! 

I'm also using some things [over 15 yrs old] that I found recently when cleaned out a bit. 

Time FLIES, y'all. 

 

ANYWAY - I  thought I'd share these three challenges where I completed layouts about our time working on a favorite Troll, Mama Zelda, right here in Huntsville.

2026 wk 07 Thursday Three

1. A busy week with plans every. single. day. Routine medical appointments, lunches, special church events, haircut, zoom bookclub, etc.

2. Plus watching Olympic curling.

3. It's false spring! And I'm all in with summer clothes on...

A good week. Oh. And the daffodils are ready to bloom.

2026 wk 06 Thursday Three

 

1. I had the best time at a long scrapbook weekend right here in town. 

[And learned an easy way to make egg and sausage burritos - yum.]

2. I've read three books this week... all of them different, and two of them good.

3. And yep... I jumped on the favorite things bandwagon...lol. 

[The Lenten Roses are blooming up the hill <-- definitely a favorite.]

Here's a quick share of

 some of the scrapbook pages I completed this month!

 

Nicole Soh, my local dealer, does  a 'Jump Start January' each year.

  

She gives us a daily prompt with the challenge to 

complete [and post] yours within 24 hours. 

 

I'll be honest - I gave myself grace this year and did NOT push myself

 for the 24 hour completion for each and every day.

 

Although,  I have met that challenge a few years straight.

 

But it's hard when we're on the road a couple of weeks in January.

Still, I took a few scrappy things and completed them as I had time.

  

[I need to take some photos of the things I take with me when we travel...]

 

I LOVE the layouts Nicole challenges us with - and enjoy doing this so much! 

  

It helps me finish up the previous year's events [in this case 2024, because I almost always scrapbook a year behind*] 

 

and get a good start on the next year.

[LOOK!! - I found some ole photos!]

And yes. 

We have conversations often about what on earth our family 

might do with these scrapbooks one day... 

 

And Honestly? What does it matter?  

 [Maybe someone in the family might want them....]

Trash them / Keep them. Who cares? 

  

But right here /right now? It makes me happy. It brings me joy to look at my photos, remember people, places and things... and play a little creatively.

And - OOPS - I DID COMPLETE the titles when I returned home, lol...

and added a little llama in that blank space on that layout, HA. 

And just for fun - here's a photo of our fun 

in-person group during the cold weather - lol -  

So there's that.
