We have had some crazy snow here in Texas. I know the nation has been bombarded with the snow storms and some areas have reported snow falls of 20 and even 30 inches in just a few hours but I've never really seen anything like that. Well, on Feb. 12th we awoke to huge snowflakes falling and the ground already blanketed white. By midafternoon, it was still snowing and accumulating to 3 - 5 inches. By nightfall, we had a whopping 10 inches of snow! Here, in Texas, where we usually have pretty mild winters! We built snowmen, sledded (using a surf board without the fin - hey it's Tx, who's going to have a sled on hand?), had snow ball fights and made snow ice cream. But being typical Tx weather, 4 days later there wasn't even a hint of snow as proof of the weather we'd had! Still cold but sun shiny and a little wet.

Since then, we've had a couple more days of flurries but not much stuck to the ground. We have have 3 big snow episodes this winter with real snow on the ground for a few days - a first for this area!

Hope where ever you are that you are staying warm and cozy and making the most of this crazy winter:o)

Ellee Valentine's

I just love this new Paisley cartridge! It has the absolute cutest lil' guys on there... check out this adorable lil' elephant I have named Ellee:o) It's been a crazy last 6 months here and I am ready for 2010 to be a fun, happy and less stressed year! Hope everyone is doing well and crafting as much as they can.

Ellee is cut at 3 1/2 on an A2 card. Inked some of her edges and the little valentine she's delivering. Took the photo before I added stickes to the toes for an extra dazzle in her life. She's pop dotted for some dimension and used new Fiskars hearts corner/border punch for the bottom edge and corner. Enjoy!

Bit the bullet!

Okay, I've done it... started a blog. Hopefully I can learn all of the cool stuff and customize and add photos and all that neat stuff. I am always running around crazy busy but I wanted to have a place to slow down and share my work. Bear with me as this will be a learning journey:o) TFL!
