Linking up with The Sunday Post hosted by Kimba the Caffeinated Book Reviewer and It's Monday! What are You Reading? hosted by Sheila from Book Journey. In Sheila's absence, share your Monday post on twitter #IMWAYR.
Busy week with Dad staying a few days and a scrapbook weekend away at Daisychain Scrapbooks. I was excited to get a few layouts done even though I wasn't expecting to (photos next week.) These days the time away is more about catching up with dear friends and recharging my battery in a nurturing environment. It was a wonderful weekend even though my hands are paying the price for the fine motor work.

Glad you had a good weekend! The penguin books looks cute, and The Little PAris Bookshop I had to go look up, looks intriguing. Hope it's a great read, curious to hear more about that one.
ReplyDeleteScrapbook weekend sounds wonderful. You did well for the walking, I had a couple of oops days!! Hope you enjoy The Little Paris Bookshop. I haven't read anything by Helene Young, I'll see what you say.

With my RA I can relate to the overuse of your hands and suffering for it. I am glad you had a wonderful time which for me usually makes it worth it.
ReplyDeleteGlad you had a nice getaway. I am waiting for Rose Under Fire on audio from the library. Wally the Warm Weather Penguin looks adorable. Hope you have a fantastic week.
ReplyDeleteThis summer I'm really going to get back into my walking. I have a Fitbit, so look me up and add me, I'm on there as Lisa Mandina. I thought I was going to start scrapbooking a year or so ago then never got around to it. Maybe this summer. We'll see.
ReplyDeleteCheck out my Sunday Post
Walking is always good :)
ReplyDeleteSounds like you had a great getaway! I had a couple of oops Fitbit days recently :) Have a wonderful week!
