SNOW!

Once again the glorious white stuff is falling from the sky. The only problem. It is Saturday! They will have all day tomorrow to get it clear so the much prayed for snow day will not happen. The children think they are the only ones praying for it, that is not true. Teachers pray for it more. It would be so great to not have to drag myself out of bed and to school on Monday. I would love a day of sitting in front of the fire and reading a novel or stitchin on a WIP. Alas, I think that dream will not happen again this school year. Bummer...

I am...

You Are Sunrise

You enjoy living a slow, fulfilling life. You enjoy living every moment, no matter how ordinary.
You are a person of reflection and meditation. You start and end every day by looking inward.
Caring and giving, you enjoy making people happy. You're often cooking for friends or buying them gifts.
All in all, you know how to love life for what it is - not for how it should be.

Day of Pampering;)

Today I am going to get an hour massage and a pedicure. My DH gave it to me for my birthday in October. I can hardly wait. Yesterday I had 19 parent teacher conferences and today I will relax. DD has day two of her singing/dancing workshop. DH and I are going out to eat and then going to her show. This should be a great day.

Picture from Gala


Here is the picture of us at the Church/School Gala. We had a great time! I like this picture so much better than last year's version. I wish that I had not worn the shawl in this picture though. It is hard to see the beauty of the dress.

SNOW DAY!


Finally the day I have been waiting for since winter began - the first SNOW DAY of the year (and maybe the only one)!
Now DD will sleep in her pajamas inside out every night!

Finish


Here is a recent finish. I started it last summer after buying it at my favorite LNS in Kentucky. I really enjoyed stitching it and am so glad I can now get it framed to hang on my wall.

What grinch are you?

Nope, You're Not a Grinch

Although you may feel Grinch-like at times, it's just because you're worn out from the holidays.
You get into the holiday spirit more than most people - and you truly enjoy celebrating with your family and friends.

It came!

About 2 1/2 weeks ago I ordered the Drawn Thread Sampler Game Board. I also ordered other stash the following week and I got it in the same week. Well today when I came home from school, my new project was waiting for me in the mailbox! I was jumping with joy! I can hardly wait to start another new project! Hopefully I can start it this weekend. It uses DMC floss and I already have the linen!
