The Snow is Almost Gone!

The last of our nine inches of snow is almost gone. It was pretty for about the first 36 hours....then I was stir crazy and ready to be out of the house! Thankfully, we made short work of cleaning the driveway and sidewalks with a snowblower that John's parents gave us. The kids (my two and the rest of the neighborhood I think) had a wonderful time playing in the snow with the sleds and snowboard. They even built a ramp in the back yard....you'd think we were hosting the Winter Olympics back there!

Below is my entry in the Week 34 Penny Black Challenge. The challenge was to create a circle card. I whipped this card up very quickly using my Nestabilities, a Penny Black stamp, and a little ribbon from my stash. The image was colored with Prismacolor pencils and blended with Gamsol. The sentiment was done by hand as well as the doodling around the edges of the card.


Also, for those of you who were wondering just what was inside the box I sent to my mom, it was these cute little cupcake earrings that were handmade by my very talented sister, Sheri. How she makes these cute little beads from sticks of glass is beyond me. She has been making cute little bunnies and carrots as of late....can hardly wait to see them in person! ......love you sis! =)
