valentine mail call.. and the winner is...

We are supposed to get  a pretty good winter storm today.  not as bad as the east coast.. but where I am they are calling for up to 14 inches of snow.   Im trying to decide whether or not to go to work.  Im thinking not....  It would be so much better not to have to worry about driving in nasty weather and to just stay home and play!  I have time that I have to used up before the end of march.. so I may as well use one of those days!

so.. back to the cute stuff..   I was in a valentine ornie  swap with a a bunch of my girlies.  and recieved a package of awesomeness this week.  I need another valentine tree!  each heart had to come with a quote about friendship..

From Lee:  "Each friend represents a world in us."

From Tammy :  "Friends meet you in a tender place where it's safe to risk your heart."

From jeanne:  "A friend is someone who knows the song in your heart and can sing it back to you when you have forgotten the words."

From Carla:  "Friends are the stitches that hold our hearts together.

From Natalea:  "A friend is someone who sees through you and still enjoys the view."

From Me:  "Make new friends but keep the old, one is silver and the other gold."

 

from Sandy:  "Right next door or miles apart, friends are always close at heart."

from Ruth:  "Friends live in your heart."

from Gracie:  "A friend is one of the best things you can be and the greatest thing you can have."

Grace also sent us these little pink mustaches and asked that we take a picture of ourselves wearing them..

I must have taken 20 pictures before I got one that I could even consider sharing!
