Enjoy your day!

It's looking a lot like Christmas around here now.....we got snow last night....quite a bit of snow actually.  Snow is good.....but......I was planning on doing some shopping and getting some errands done today.....probably isn't going to happen.  I guess I'll regroup and figure out what I can get done that doesn't involve going out on the snowy and icy roads.

Have a great day!

I ended up going shopping yesterday...didn't make a lot of progress, but I've at least got ideas floating around in my head :)  Even though I was gone most of the day I ended up with quite a mess in my house (I made peanut brittle before I left).  Now I need to get things straightened up because we have our Shoebox Club tonight.....and I have to dig around and find a stamp for our 'ugly stamp exchange'.  Looking forward to a fun evening!

Enjoy your day.

The card - trees are a die cut from SU.  Colors are white, Indigo and pool party.  The tree in front is cut from glitter paper.  (this is one of those cards that really looks much prettier in person)

Enjoy your day!

Photo Saturday - sunrise yesterday

I need a little snow.....it's hard to get motivated to get the Christmas decorations up when the sun is shining and it's 50 degrees outside :)  Not complaining though,  I like the nicer weather!  But I've got to get started on the decorations today, so maybe some Christmas music will help....I'll give it a try anyway.
