How much snow did you get?

So much for making a snowflake curtain that you can now barely see...

(I am slightly worried about this snow mound up on our second story overhang.)

The snow has piled up today...at least 20 inches and it's still falling!! As long as our power doesn't go out again, we're perfectly content with the pile up. Bring it on!



Happy Snowbound Day!!

My Snowflake Curtain

The landing at the top of our stairs has the best window. It is in fact what sold this house to me. The sun streaming through the window was so beautiful. I imagined myself sitting underneath it, reading a book.

When I saw this blog post and this photo...I knew my window needed this stunning curtain of snowflakes.

I'm loving the results and that this few hour project cost me nothing!!
Now I just need to finish that ottoman so I can grab a book and make full use of this window.

I wish I had more time...

Every day I find a new project that I drool over.

And I think, "If only I'd seen this earlier!"

So, I'm starting my "I want to make this" list of teacher/neighbor/friend gifts for 2010 and those just so cute things that I need to have it in my house.

Anyone up for another craft day?


1. Personalized soap bottle at How Does She... (Could there be a more perfect teacher gift for this time of year?)

2. Snowflake curtain by Bugs and Fishes. (I must admit that I couldn't wait to do this one. I had the perfect place and I just finished it!! Will post photos soon. And aren't those snow flakes incredible?)

3. Ornament favor by Twig and Thistle. (This just makes me want to have a party, so I can make these. I may need to hit the post Christmas sales and stock up on some bulbs.)

4. Magnetic mini calendar at Little Birdie Secrets. (I see so many possibilities with this and I know just the place to find the best supplies...

5. Sucker Holder at How Does She... (I'd use it to hold cake pops. And I'll need several different themes...)

6. Book Wreath by Living with Lindsay. (I think I even have some left over books from my last book project).

7. Little Birdie Ornament from Little Birdie Secrets. (I want my tree to be covered in these or they could be used as gift tags or attached to a plate of cookies. So many possibilities.)

More to come...

My Life

"Continually goes above and beyond, consistently exceeding objectives and expectations."

Man, I wish I was the one who said this first.

Why did Rob's work have to beat me to it?

After a fun family night last night, Rob asked if he could pick up the last of the Christmas presents for me.

I was caught off guard.

But extremely grateful that he was aware that there were still a few more things to do.

I'm so blessed.

Yesterday, I mentioned that my blow dryer was on the fritz.

When I woke up this morning, I found a new blow dryer on the bathroom counter.

It's the little things...

That remind me

of how blessed I am.

And what a great life I have.


11 years isn't long enough.
