Snow Day!

Welcome to Minnesnowta!Here are some outdoor scenes, taken from the warmth of my home... 18 inches on the way. So grateful I don't have to travel today! just stay and in watch the snow fall, and bake!

Last Night

Did anyone watch the Oprah special last night? It was about her new school in Africa. The Girls. They had such confidence and positive attitudes. They all came from poverty and still they all had that sparkle, that hope in their eyes when they talked about their education. Where does that come from? most of them had lost their parents but chose to remember the good ...amazing children.I wish I would of taped it for my nieces and nephew's to watch.

Challenges

My Mom will be 88 years old this June, She was fourty when I was born...She is the strongest person I know, she has been through so much. She lost two children six months apart and they were only in their forties. She has battled breast and colon cancer and won! These pictures are of a luncheon I had for her and my three sisters on Mother's Day last year. We lost my Dad a couple months ago and it has been hard for her....I worry about her. I pray she will win this challenge also.

Storm of the century

Well, the storm of the century turned out to be about six inches...Here are my before and after pictures of my house, not to impressive huh? Oh well. it is Sunday and the roads are icy so it is a perfect time to craft...thinking of making a purse today or maybe chocolate chip cookies? And I can't forget it is Oscar night. I always get excited about watching the Oscars but for some reason lose interest 1/4 of the way thru it.

Say it ain't so....

they are predicting 12 inches of snow this weekend....no, these pictures weren't taken recently, they are from last year at Easter time. Just dreaming again....

a good feeling

It is such a good feeling to accomplish a project. My niece is having a baby shower, so as a gift I made this Burpee cloth Bouquet for her....she doesn't know if it is a boy or a girl, so I went with greens, whites and yellows. Now I have to try and think of something else to go with it...maybe I will paint her a sweet dreams sign for the baby's room. I think I have some old chippy door panels out in the shed I can use.

Only a matter of time...

My garden in a basket that I received from my husband for Valentine's day is starting to bloom! there is a little daffodil blooming and it makes me so happy! We came out of the single digits today and hit a high of 26 degrees! I can feel it coming...
