Who needs a gym membership when you get to shovel out the driveway by hand.
The only one who was really happy with the snow and cold was our dog.
It was a perfect day to make some soup.
I do have to admit that with the snow it is much easier to think about Christmas. I made some Christmas gift tags out of some leftover scrapbooking paper and stickers. These are a few of my favorite ones.
This past weekend was my dad's birthday. We had a wonderful day on Sunday celebrating and visiting. It will be three years in January since his heart attack and we almost lost him then and many more times in the past three years. I am so thankful for this time we are able to share.

I love your blog here and have added you to my side bar so I can tag along with you. Sounds like we are in the same season of life here with our families. Your gift tags are adorable and I have been dancing with ideas in my head and need to get busy and make some...the season is almost upon us here.
ReplyDeleteKelly - Thank you. I got some ideas from the internet and then personalized them. It was a fun and relaxing project.
ReplyDeleteMaria - I usually like the snow but I'm just not ready for it this year. It was wonderful celebrating my dad's birthday. It's not something we take for granted anymore.
Christine - Thanks for joining! I look forward to seeing some of your creative ideas.

Alana-
ReplyDeleteI am not a fan of the white stuff, either. :(
Just think of it as being one day closer to spring...
Glad you have your Dad to celebrate with, what a blessing! And, I truly love the tags...they are lovely!
Wow, snow! Hard to imagine! We are enjoying a sunny 75 degree day...with only glimpses of fall so far. :-)
