Well they are saying we are going to get a blizzard... as long as my kids are safely home let it snow.. I so desperatly want to scrapbook and finish catching up on some cards.

JeanneLee.. enjoy time with your family

Joy.. how many bridesmaid dresses do you have to make???

Feeling better and better as the day goes on...

Abigail took a nice long nap this morning 2 1/2 hours then she got up with so much energy

My neighbor had given me a Fisher Price Rocking Dog that was her grand daughters 23 yrs. ago in perfect shape. Actually my DD Patty had the same one when she was young. The baby would sit on and rock.. Well Abigail loved it.. all afternoon sitting on it and laughing.

then I bought her some gifts for Valentine Day "Heidi Klum" has a line of childrens clothes so cute I had to buy an outfit for her then some toys. I am trying not to go overboard because my house is filling up now. I cleaned out a unit in my Wall Unit nice compartment to store her toys..

Well have a good evening/day everyone

Hello everyone;
Our shopping trip was fun...only spent about $5.00 total! Then we went to her dr., appt., then to her dd's...I met her new ds. Then we went to Bed,Bath & Beyond where I got a K-cup holder for the Keurig. I had a $25.00 gift card and a 20% off c/o so the holder cost me .19 cents !

Nancy: thanks for the tips on the Keurig, I did register it yesterday and got the c/o for the free packs. Will have to order some soon, they sure do have a great selection on the website. Hope they ship to Canada though. Thanks for the tip about the water.

Joy: glad you got the invites all done, I wasn't able to open your pic though

Shelley: good news for your dd.

Angie: hope all goes well with all your projects.

JeanneLee: have a nice visit with ds.

DH's aunt is doing a family tree and wants all sorts of info. on dh's brothers, sister and their families. Since his folks have passed guess who gets to compile all this stuff. His dad did have a birthday book that had alot of the info in, so dh will just have to call brothers up for the missing bits.

Well, off to make a cup of brew for dh & myself.

Take care everyone, stay warm those of you who are expecting snow.

I think PC must be having pic issues because all I see on Laura's post is that red X and I can't get it to open.

I was trying to get a baby sweater sewed together this morning, and I put the sleeve in upside down. Grr. Got it ripped out and done correctly, but so frustrating. A friend that is is Kate's wedding, and she will be in Megan's wedding. Due in May but a baby shower for her next week at Megan's house.

Kate is with Jordan this weekend. She has two job interviews today, and then she will go apartment hunting. He is living in his parent's fifth wheel right now in an RV park.

It is almost 9:30, so I guess I better go get dressed! But my PJ's are so comfy!!!

JeanneLee and Sharon and Nancy, stay safe in the storm.

Somebody PLEASE help me with my Expression2

It has been snowing since 6am this morning coming down heavy didn't think DD would drive in it but her boss said to all the employees they better be at work!!!

So they Patty dropped Abigail off and went to work.

it took my son in law 2 hours to get here now I am waiting to hear if he and Abby got home safe. DD left at 4pm they actually let them out early and it took her 2 hours to get home. She said you couldn't see anything in front of you.

1 storm left another came in hailing most of the afternoon then heavy snow. The kids got out early from school and wanted to come over so of course i said yes.

DH made dinner I was busy with Abigail. Alex shoveled about 4 inches of snow.

Sat. he will be back and do it with the snowblower. Alex is happy because he goes around asking people if they want their drive ways cleared and most do so he earns a little extra cash.

Some pay him others don't but he feels good helping people. he is a dedicated boy scout.

Now I hear ice and still snowing .

Hoping to clean alittle tomorrow and craft...

Laura pretty card... what colors are the bridesmaid dresses or the color theme for4 the wedding??

In new york they match up with the color theme of the wedding.

Glad your family made it home safely, Nancy!

If it is not one thing, it is another. DH has not been feeling well all week, so we went to the doc this afternoon. The doc is pretty sure he has a gall stone/bad gall bladder. Oh yay. The doc tried to call the surgeon who DH sees, but never could make contact. He finally have DH antiobiotics and his home phone number in case things get bad over the weekend. DH taught with our doctor's mother! They also drew blood to check for whatever they check for, and DH will probably have an ultrasound on Monday. Sigh. When it rains, it pours, and I kind of feel like the blizzard in the NorthEast is in our lives right now.

I did get some Valentine's Day cards made. Jill has the stamp set I wanted to use for part of them. Oh well.

Yeh snow finally stopped the wind last night was hallowing... we did get a little over 2 feet of snow but the wind drifts are close to 5 feet..

I will try and post pic's of neighbors house and our back yard

Geeezzzz... I have been trying to upload photos but it isn't happening today..

Ever since they updated this MB it seems it is a pain signing in or even getting onto the MB!!

I cannot see photos on this board since over a week ago. Don't know what they did to the message board as I could see them before, but now I just see a little red X. Haven't changed any settings on my computer so think it is on their end!

Glad you are safe in Long Island & everyone got home safe. Been watching the news about LI & how much snow you got out there. Pics of the LI Expressway were crazy with all the stranded cars!

We got lucky, just about 6" of snow here, looks beautiful out.

Unfortunately my mother in law is north of us though & got much more & is freaking out. So Paul has to go dig her out later today. She really would be fine until tomorrow as she doesn't need to go out & then Paul could rest today. But she is panicing. I know she is 89 years old, but she has a full pantry & fridge & no reason to go out. So not sure what the panic is. It is about an hour drive each way for Paul & the roads are going to be bad today. Wish he could go tomorrow instead. Ugh.

So glad you all weathered the storm! Nancy, that is bunch of snow!!! Sharon, I can just imagine your relief when your DH did not have to go and shovel his mother out. And homemade brownies sound so yummy!!!!!!!

Sandra, so much fun to scrap with friends! And enjoy your Keurig. :)

Laura, I never could get your pic to open. :(

The bridesmaids dresses are still on the bolt! I have not even opened the patterns. I think I will wait to start on Monday.

DH says he is feeling better than he has all week. Hopefully, those antibiotics will help.

It is a beautiful sunny day out, but there is a breeze blowing which makes it COLD.

Hi everyone;
Glad you guys are all weathering your storms ok. Lovely here, got a bit of snow this a.m., ds and I went out and shovelled it and now the sun is out and drying it all up. After we were done shovelling we went for a bit of a walk. Nice and refreshing. When we got back I made ds hot chocolate in the Keurig. I had bought some of the reuseable cups, so just used the hot chocolate we had on hand and it worked great.

Joy: glad dh is feeling better. We haven't had fabric at our Wal-Mart for quite awhile now. We just have a very small craft section left. Glad you were able to find some fabric that you could make something out of.

Sharon: good thing your dh didn't have to go shovel his mom out. When they get that age they get very stubborn. My mom is 84 and she is the same way, though she lives in a complex where the snow is shovelled for them so we don't have to worry about that. Though she has been known to try to sweep it herself! As I said, stubborn! The brownies sound delicious

Nancy: sorry about your playdate. Hopefully, you still get some crafting done.

Better run, have some lunch and then back to crafting ! I've not been able to open pics here for a bit now either, not sure what they've done .
Take care everyone

Well I am back to feeling like my ole self again. The other doctor I went to had me on high blood pressure meds. 150 mg.

This new doctor put me on 25 mg. what a difference

Alex couldn't come earlier because they hadn't plowed the streets!!!

Now they came down the street only on the other side and now Alex came and he is plowing the street and my driveway and walk ways...

His dad has a big truck so he is driving him all around to help friends and family and their Church. He is such a good kid

Sharon nice to hear you didn't get hit hard with the snow.

Now with the wind going my back yard has about 6 feet of snow

trying to upload photos

Good morning everyone!
We are having beautiful weather this weekend! Unseasonable warm and just light snow fall. I am thinking I should pull out my cross country skis for a bit. I have so much to do inside though .
The wedding the invitations are for will be purple (almost eggplant) and champagne (ivory). I am thinking of maybe inking the edges of the invitation a bit. I have ordered some versamark dazzle to do the stamping and then maybe clear embossing over top for the stamp. I'm not happy with the embossing powder I have, it is grainy even after melting. I sent the bride two places to order paper online. I gave her my account info so she could just sign in and look at the shopping carts. That way she can see the exact papers/envelopes and prices including shipping. There is a HUGE difference in prices, I hadn't expected that.
Sharon I saw the pictures of your snowfall and of the snowpeople populating your yard. WOW! what a house you have. Beautiful. Enjoy the snow while you have it!
Nancy I will try to upload the picture again for you. I have trouble sometimes getting it to work. It is good to hear you are feeling better. I use my keurig to heat water for tea and also to make instant oatmeal.
Take care
Laura

Laura... very pretty card. Purple is my favorite color.

I can't seem to upload a photo;s!! I resized them and still no luch..MB says there is an error

Sharon.. we got according to our town readings 26.5 my daughter is still snowed in and they got 33.5 inches of snow.

They shoveled their whole driveway yesterday and the roads aren't plowed so they are stuck.

If you saw my back yard you would never know their was a pond out there. Hopefully the sun will do it's job and melt some.

How fun sledding the girls should enjoy that

The going rate here for kids to come around and shovel is 25.00 an hour. If they use a plow then 45 and up.

I don't believe it I said let me try one more time...

We have a fence in the back that is 6 feet tall and one of the photos in the corner you can hardly see the fence there is a pond underneath all that!

Weird, I see your photos, tiny in your message. But when I click on them, they still come up tiny! Normally when you click on a photo it comes up bigger. So kind of hard to see the pics. But does look like a LOT of snow! That is some crazy figures. We were lucky only getting about 6"... maybe 8" at the most.
