I Love Snow Days!

I love snow days, especially when school is called off the night before. Sometimes I think teachers want them more than students do although my two boys love them as much as me. I remember loving to play in the snow as a kid and making snow angels. I really never got into the snowman or snow fort thing. There was never a cup of hot chocolate as good as the one I drank after coming in from playing in the snow.....you know, the cup half full of hot chocolate and half full of marshmallows. I'm sure I'll be upstairs fixing some for the boys shorty!

So, on my day off, I decided to look for a challenge to enter and found this one at A Spoonful of Sugar. The challenge was to make a card for someone you love. I had just finished making the card below for my mom for Valentines Day so I thought it would be perfect for this challenge. So, Mom, if you're reading this, pretend when you get it in the mail that it is the first time you've seen it! Inside the box is a valentine gift that I'll have to reveal later....don't want to spoil the surprise. However, I will give you this hint......if you look carefully you'll see a clue!
