SNOW.....AGAIN



Here are some of the pictures, around our house showing the little amount of snow we received. I guess we are very lucky to live on the west end of the city since the East end got hammered!

Altered Tissue Box



I cased this altered tissue box from stamp tv....Gina K designs....I really like the look of this and it will hold so many things. I used decorative paper, ribbon, score tape, spellbinders dies and stamps from my stash. I plan on doing more of these since they are not too complicated.

Our weather was awful yesterday and very cold today. We didn't have that much snow to stick, because it kept changing from freezing rain, to snow to rain, back to freezing rain and on and on. We only have about 2" on the ground. Nothing moving much this morning, however, it is still early. I plan to take pictures later and will post them then. Have a wonderful Sunday....

UPDATE ON BRET....



I cannot tell you how happy we are to have Bret in our family! He is such a good dog. We could not have anticipated that he would fit in so well. We have grown to love him so much. Gypsie is a new girl. She has a sparkle in her eye we have not seen for a long time. She gets feisty and jumps around when you go out to see her. We also did not anticipate quite this change in her. She is almost like a puppy. She is moving around and beginning to look like she might be loosing some weight. We are so thankful that Bret is not overbearing and lets her have some space too. He is such a good fit. We still miss Max and will for some time. Bret was for Gypsie totally and it looks like he might just edge his way into our hearts as well.

We are anticipating a snow storm tomorrow and Saturday. Looks like snow, ice, rain and more snow for most areas. It could get nasty around here. If you have to be out in it, please be careful.

More later, Its time for me to move on tonight!

Can you Believe it...I'ts MONDAY Again!



This is my very first Valentine Card this year...Sorry I'm running late and cannot give all the details for this card. I hope you enjoy the picture...I'm moving a little slow this morning....Head is full and eyes and nose running. Not sure if it is Sinus or Allergy, however, very miserable at this point. It it is more than allergy, I have a doctor's appt. this week and can take care of it at that point. Hope you have a wonderful day and I must sludge myself toward the coffee pot and then on to the shower. Snow in the forecast for today and tonight.

TGIF!!!!!!



Moving right along...I am up to June with my Calendar and let me just say I am having a really fun time doing these. I always have this project to fall back on when I sit down and just don't know where to begin. June is a lovely month and I really love roses so this was a snap for me. I'm not going into a great deal of detail on this card. Recipe: Cardstock from Gina K design, Swiss Dot cuttlebug folder, Spellbinders Labels Die, Fourishes stamps, Copic Markers, White Ribbon purchased from Walmart, and Zots.

Have a great day! And let me just say, for all you people going to California to CHA....I am so jealous!!

THIS PROVES IT!



I know this is two entries in one morning, but I had to show this picture of Maggie...As we live in the country with fields near our house we can get a mouse inside now and then. Well we have had one for awhile now and it must have gotten under a baseboard because Maggie would stand for hours looking at the baseboard. She is totally engrossed with it. Now I am sure that little mouse didn't stay there all that time but she has stood for days now. For a couple of months now she has done this at several places in our house. She gets so tired she just falls over asleep! So I put her bed close by so she could sleep. I have always said she sleeps with "Radar Up" which is her ears up and one eye open. This picture proves it. I know this is probably not acceptable behavior, but it does keep her occupied.
