MY PLANNERS & BIBLE JOURNALS THIS WEEK::
FROM THE CAMERA::
My new baby, isn't he cute? I got him from a family who was going to take him to a shelter because of a family member with allergies. He's 7 years old and his name is Mr. Beatnik. He's a very good boy :)

Oh, that book sounds so interesting! Just added it to my on-going want to read list. Such cute little cats. Hope you have a wonderful week and a great visit with your friend!
ReplyDelete"Caroline" has been very interesting so far. I'm loving parts of it and yet other parts are really laden down with the facts of their travel. I'll review it when I'm finished in a couple of days.
DeleteI would love to read that book. Nice cat you got there too. Beautiful journal pages. Have a great week
ReplyDeleteI'll be doing a review on the book in a couple of days. I'm nearly finished! Have a great week.
DeleteYour cats are MY favorite thing this week! I love your journals, too.
ReplyDeleteAnd I must read that book...being a Mom myself, I would have to read what Ma saw/heard/thought.
Awwww thank you :) I do love my little kitty boys! I'm obsessed with planners and Bible journaling - it's getting unhealthy! LOL Have a wonderful week!
DeleteLove the look of your blog Sherry, and so glad to see you blogging and doing Sandra's homemaker meme, I always loved this one! So glad to hear that your bestie is coming, I know you guys will have so much fun together! I've thought of you often in this atrocious cold weather, glad to hear you are safe and warm, and even better, that your car is working in this brutal cold. I hope you guys get a break and warm up soon! Your menu looks fabulous, especially the flatbread pizza and the enchilada soup, yummy! Thanks so much for sharing and have a very blessed day ---Stacy
ReplyDeleteHey Stacy! The enchilada soup was really good! It made a lot so I have some in the freezer for another cold day! And the bbq chicken pizza - I was really impressed with out good it was for being so simple! I had it the next day for lunch too :) My bestie's flight was canceled due to our weather! We dropped over 40 degrees in one day and there was freezing rain turning into snow this morning. Gah! Have a great week!
DeleteI am going to have to look up that book, that sounds interesting! Your menu sounds yummy! And girl... how can you prefer the cold?? LOL Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure why I prefer the cold. I guess "prefer" is not the right word, lol. But in my old age of 47 I've come to love every season here in Michigan! Have a great week!
DeleteEnjoyed reading your blog this week! Love the idea of including your planners and journals. What a great idea! I love anything to do with paper, planners, journals, pens, pencils, highlighters, page flags, etc. They all make me happy! LOL! Your menus look great! Enjoy the visit with your bestie! Blessings! <3
ReplyDeleteOh I am totally obsessed with all things paper and journal! LOL I really want to make my own journal out of an old book. I'm going to link to a vlog in next HHM that explains what I want to do!
