snow day = play day

Well the big storm caught up with us last night and today, though I dont think it was as bad as what they made it sound like we would get. I stayed home and called it a snow day for myself. I HATE driving in the snow and the roads sucked! Then it snowed alllll day long, so they didnt improve any and the ride home would have been just as bad as the ride in.. so staying home was the smart thing to do!! So I puttered, cooked, created and played! This afternoon my snow man friend wanted to go out and check out the snow! so out we went.. just long enough to snap a couple pics and get the mail!! BRRRR! it was cold. but it was pretty.


This morning when my husband went out to snowblow and then to get his coffee, he brought me back a mcDonalds wildberry smoothie!! sweet man! I love those things.. and guess what.. you wont believe it, he just came home with another one a bit ago! I stuck that one in the freezer for later.. (american idol is on in a while!!) McDonalds is 10 miiles from us.. its not like its just around the corner. hes so silly, i love him!

So I baked and created today! I baked some cranberry ornage pecan bread.. mmmmm!!!! but, uh, I ate half the loaf I think!! GOSH!!!!! sometimes Im so out of control! I cooked a roast with potatos, carrots and brussel sprouts.. mmmmm!! so good. I'm really full! Probably mostly from all that bread!!! (OINK OINK!) oh! I think I'm going to make a little valentine pig! tonight, while I watch american idol!!

And, I played in my craft room! I made these two little mousie girls. they are all dressed up for valentines day! I thought they were cute. I also finished a couple other things that I've been working on. yesterday I mailed out my valentines cards, and my swappies to Kelly and Rella! I'll be looking forward to my mail ladys visits!!

Speaking of my mail ladies visits, she brought a package the other day of sweet valentine ornaments from another ornie swap I was in. Look at how cute these all are! the one above was made by the fabulous kathy Lowry!

This sweet doll with the shadow box skirt was made my dear friend Natalea Kandefer!

this awesome Queen of hearts! made by tammy Lucik!

This sweet quilted heart was made by my dear friend brenda Radzinski!

Lastly, I made this little heart and i made little valentine garlands to go with them.
