Here is a fun snowman card.  Hopefully we have had our last snowfall for the year!!!  As my friends know I'm not a winter person and always say I would have been happy if my parents emigrated to the south instead of here on the northeast.....but it is what it is and here I am sitting through ...... like I said ... hopefully the last snowfall of the year.  

Spring or not

here's a picture this morning and then this afternoon.  I sure hope this is the end of all this snow this year.....like I've said before.....enough is enough!  although don't mind it when it starts to melts in the afternoon.  I'm really ready for spring....how about you?

Happy Valentine's Day

Today is Valentine day or the day for love.  Here are a couple of
simple cards that I created......very simple for me but that's o.k.  The purple robot was a fun pop up card I made for my husband.




Now I'm going to change the subject because I can....check out the photos with the car that got stuck in the snow yesterday afternoon on I-95.  In the winter with the trees all bare we can see the thru-way and this is what I saw outside our window.  A man shoveling his car out of the snow when he drove in the snow trying to exit where they didn't plow.  The real scary part for me was when he gunned his car and backed into the lanes of the thru-way!  he was so lucky traffic was light!
With that said Have a Happy Valentine's Day and be safe.

Snow, snow, snow, snow, snow!

That's the word for the week....SNOW!  it snowed yesterday, will snow again on Wednesday and this weekend. I wish Mother Nature would have thrown her weather tantrum last week instead of this week because she just might spoil my plans for this coming Monday with friends! we have our annual Valentine luncheon shedualed for Monday and I know none of us want to miss it besides the fact our hostess Leslie always goes all out to spoil us.  We also have a card swap between us all.  You can look  here and here to see some pics from past years.  It would be a shame to miss out this year just because of snow.

My postal carrier started down our street around 4:30 in the afternoon yesterday but she didn't make it because our street wasn't plowed, yet.  Unfortunately she stopped to fill our mailboxes (there are 4 in front of our house) and she got stuck in the snow so she naturally she gave her jeep the gas and did a 360 spin.  That ended her delivering the mail to the rest of the street.  Can you believe that our postal service doesn't have 4 wheel drive in their jeeps!  especially here in the northeast with our snow.  Legally I don't think any postal carrier has to deliver mail if it isn't plowed so I give her thumbs up for trying.  We did finally get plowed around 7 p.m.  Guess that's it for today's snow saga.  keep warm.

Snow and Ice!

 Our first snow and ice for the season.  Check out that icicle and all the ice on our holly bush that has the Christmas lights.  Look at the tire on our car!!!  all iced in!  only good thing about all this ice and snow is that it hit 33 degrees today so it has started to melt.  I would say we got about 3 inches of snow....not too bad for around here in the northeast.  keep warm.

still diggin out

Did I mention the other day that we got a little over 3 feet of snow!  well, we did.  That's my 6'1" son shoveling snow out of our driveway unfortunately it is too much for our little snow blower.  Our mayor says the major roadways are cleared but secondary roads (like us) should be plowed out by Monday night which is tonight.  I'm hoping but in honesty don't think we will be plowed out till tomorrow so if we do get plowed today I will be overjoyed.  See those long icicles hanging off our house...they are pretty just stay out of the way when they fall.  The last picture is me taking a picture with my camera on close-up to get my neighbor's trash can.  Our trash pick up is on Friday and they went away for the weekend so their can got covered up to lid in snow.  They were surprised when they got home on Sunday afternoon!  They had to walk trudge down our street carrying their luggage....needless to say they couldn't drive their car here .... wonder where they left it?  guess after we get plowed I can ask.    I will say I am thankful we have power! well, enough of this white stuff...my next post will be back to what I love....STAMPING! stay safe and warm!

Find "Waldo" in the snow!

 Remember the books where you had to find Waldo.....well that's how I feel about our car this morning.  The picture on the left is our car in our driveway at 11 p.m. last night.  Our car in the same spot this morning around 6 a.m.  Our newscaster is saying our little city got 38" of snow but that is an unofficial account.  The governor closed the roads!  good thing we went to the grocery store on Thursday to get the basics.   Time for another cup of tea then guess will go outside a little later and help my husband dig out our car.  Keep warm everyone!

No stamping just Snow!

This past weekend was our annual Stamp Bash get together at a friend's house in New Hampshire......well......it was cut short because of Mother Nature! 

 It started snowing around 3 p.m. on Saturday and continued through the night. 

  We lost power around 6 p.m. that same Saturday night and as far as I know my friend still doesn't have power.  I usually show up on Friday and stay till around noon on Monday but because of the power outage I ended up leaving early afternoon on Sunday and needless to say because of no power we didn't do much stamping.  The roads were fine so I had no problem driving the 3 1/2 hours home.  When I got home I found an inch of snow if that on the ground and we had power.  Did find out a couple of days later a friend who lives a few towns away from me lost power for a few hours and had some tree limbs down.  I can't remember the last time we had snow so early in the season.  Hopefully I'll call my friend today and she will tell me she has her power back.  I did call Louise on Tuesday afternoon and ..................... still no power at her house.
