So happy to be home!! I have today off because we're going to see the transiberian orchestra. We thought we had tickets for the 3:00 show, however while we were out to dinner last night my daughter was looking at the tickets and realized that we had tickets to the 8:00 show. I had already taken the day off and for a minute considered going in, but then I thought, WHY??? so I am puttering around playing and enjoying being at home!
Jen and I have been hitting up some of our favorite spots looking for after christmas left over bargains, and have been disappointed. I think all the stores around here bought less and had more before holiday sales so they have less left over things! Which is actually smart of them.. but sucks for us!
I did find these sweets at crafts and creations in lockport. Love those bethany lowe garlands and bought all that they had left! also found the little tin tree candle holder clippy mobobs.. 15 cents a piece. I bought 20 of them, but thinking I should go back and get the rest! I have so many ideas for them!
I made this little snow friend on one of them this morning.. Next will be a little bird in a birds nest! I have so many ideas.. my head is spinning! I probably should grab a pad and sketch some of them out.
The little guy looks like he has a huge nose.. but its just the angle of the camera.Frannie and Figgy are happy to have me home this morning.. They are never far from my side and sometimes figgy is tucked right into my shirt! Frannie doesnt do that much anymore, but figgy loves it. Gives me a back ache though!
Well all.. I have mice and valentine tags to work on.. and a couple emails to send. But first.. I need to make a pot of tea!
Well all.. I have mice and valentine tags to work on.. and a couple emails to send. But first.. I need to make a pot of tea!ohhhh..... by the way... I ...... gained....... half a pound....... over christmas weekend. I guess in the scheme of things and seeing as I pretty much ate whatever I felt like eating.. that is not too awful bad! However.. I'm totally back on track and will lose 38 if not 40 pounds by jUNE!! With that said.. I think I'll turn the stereo on and dance around the house while I clean up here!
see yas later!

Do you want to be Elizabeth's partner or should I wait to see if someone else offers to do it?
Quite a few ladies already signed-up! I'm getting excited.

Viv, Your little snowman is too cute for words! I love the tinsel! You work full time and craft so much, you are my hero! I have asked the Valentine swap person if I might be included, I am waiting to hear. My ideas are swirling, I'm so excited to begin. I do think we have the same mind.... grab that sketch pad! Happy New Year! Elizabeth
SOS SOS SOS SOS SOS OH PLEASE VIVIAN, PLEASE TELL THE SWAP HOST TO REMOVE HER POST ABOUT ME, I'M HAVING A PANIC ATTACK HERE! Oh my gosh, I did not type write, It sounds like I am requesting a particular type of box - I AM DYING OF MORTIFICATION1111 I was letting her know that the box I am making will be pink withvintage inspired valentines and I did n't know if it would git her therem. I am so embarrassed, I would never ask someone to create soething for me ina particular way. i think i'll pass on this one. Too much, too much.
Viv....I LOVE your new blog banner and background. It cheers me up, and gets me in the mood for Valentines Day. Love the Bethany Lowe garland, and your little snowguy is adorable. Have a fabulous day.
