A favorite lo and....yep....snow pics!

Another snow day....it's a nice long weekend, and I'd much rather travel to school on clean dry roads, but....enough already! lol

The florist lady trekked through the snow to our house today and brought me a beautiful planter of flowers and Birthday balloons! So beautiful and a sweet surprise from DH and the boys. :)

Here is the lo of Blossom that I wanted to share (I think I mentioned that on an earlier post). I did post it at my sb.com site too. Goal achieved! :)



And....now...snow pics...just a few from this Winter Wonderland. :) It is so pretty and it is winter...so I'll just enjoy it.

Back of house....so glad we live in a time where we do NOT use that outhouse! Can you imagine??? OMG!!!


I am going to post some of those sports los soon. Take care and stay warm!

Inspired to scrap...and snow!

More snow is headed our way for Thursday. The hard part is that it may not be too much until mid-morning...well, that means we may have the kiddos to school and then have to do an early dismissal..ugh..that's always so stressful.

I have started doing some major sorting of the boys' sports pics...want to do some work with those this week, especially if I am home.

I really need to be at school and teaching, we've had snow and sickness -- I had 5 out of 16 kiddos out last week on the one full day out of two that we were in school. Okay, I will be fine....it's still 180 days in the end. :)

I hope to work on those sports lo, scraplift a fun 'oh the places you'll go' lo, and some other ideas I've found during the My Pink Stamper blog hop. I also need to post a lo for her challenge, and add my lo of Blossom (one of our dogs, the crazy one) to my sb.com site and perhaps here.

Okay, lots of plans.....we'll see 'where I go'. :) Stay warm!

Blog Hop Fun!

I have been Blog Hopping with the My Pink Stamper Design Team this weekend...when I can fit it in....we were super busy this weekend!!! Since it's my Birthday Month I took the time to follow this super fun blog hop and at least look...I can't wait to make some of the adorable creations.

Angela's mailbox would be super cute for the kids on Valentine's Day morning. Tracy's card is just too cute with the little plaid bird. Cristi used my new cart...destined to be a fave...Country Life on a super cute card. So many talented scrappers. How do they find the time???? I must learn the secret!

Have a great evening and a great week too!

Goodies for my Kindergarten kiddos

Today was another snow day...nothing like in the rest of the country but icy roads and the constant blowing wind across them is continuuing to be a problem.

Anyway, I cleaned all my scrap stuff and pulled things I'll never use...I'm going to donate them to Children's Hospital...they can always use craft items. If you are looking to clean-up too you can always donate to a hospital or school. :)

Here are a few pics of some goodies bags I made for my Kindergarten class. I gave these to them on the first day back in January. They loved them! I got the idea from Robyn at My Pink Stamper...she makes this kind of goodie bag a lot for her kiddos and she had a great penguin for her most recent bags. I didn't have the Simply Charmed cartridge, so I used the cute little guy you see here from Create a Critter and I also added his igloo. The stamps are from Stampin' Up...and I used Stickles on the flakes and snowballs for a little added touch. The kids probably only noticed the goodies, but I think they came out really cute. I can't wait to make some for Valentine's Day.

Wherever you are stay warm...I heard today that 49 states have snow (even Hawaii does in the mountains)...only Florida does not, but I'll bet it's not as warm as usual down there...sooooo....everyone stay warm and be safe! Now, here are the pics!

Snow and Braces

K got his braces today. He seems fine about them, but as a Mom I feel bad...or is it guilt?..that he has to have them. :( Probably "Mom Guilt" (can you hear the scary music when I say that...kind of like 'duh, duh, duh')....because we all know it's my fault, right? ;)

Snow day today! Didn't do a lot at home...I wasn't home long when they called to say they could do the braces today instead of tomorrow...yahoo no missing school for him. I did work on some 50th Birthday cards we are sending to our Priest for his 50th on 1/23 which is also my Birthday. :)

I don't know if we will have another snow day or not...it hasn't stopped all day but not a lot of accumulation on the roads when we went to the dentist at 2:00, but the roads were really bad when we came home from the dentist. DH and the other two boys are at the ski slopes. May need those skis to get home!

I will scrap if home tomorrow, and hope to post some projects here on my blog this week.

Ahhh, kind of like talking to myself here...but never know who might be checking in...if you do please give me a holler in the comments if you don't mind. :)

Stay warm!

Happy New Year!

Our New Year 2011 has started out to be busy at times, but surprisingly relaxing too. I had time this weekend to scrap one Create A Critter critter for each of my students and can't wait to see their faces when they get them tomorrow. :)

The boys have been busy getting back into the school routine and skiing.

A little snow here and there but nothing to support my fear that we will be having tons of snow days and be in school until July, lol...not funny I know.

So, Happy New Year to anyone who might actually be reading this blog. Enjoy your day!
