(click to enlarge)


this is gonna be a painfully busy week for me.





i like my down time. i like my peace and quiet. i like my OPEN schedule...





but at least it should pass quickly!!





this is the river that runs thru our town. on one of the very few days the sun comes out in the winter.



ok...gotta get back to working on stuff! later!!

woke up to -8 degrees this morning (wind chill -19)...and thats just *freeze the snot in your nose* cold! (yes mom i put that on my blog...i have no decency about me:)

and i am thankful i had to take the trash out or otherwise i would have missed the sun rising thru the garage window and i would never have seen this shot!


and i couldn't leave well enough alone...so i cropped the picture above and converted to b&w and its pretty cool too. looks beautiful in print! enjoy~

i think i found my direction...

my GPS arrived today! lol! so i have it plugged into the old van charging away. always fun to get a new toy...now for the snow to go away so i can safely try this baby out!





here's a little peeky what i have been up to...


making treat bags for the girls classes. i was trying to come up with an easily duplicated idea. if i was giving this as a gift myself, i would probably put alot more detail into, but i think it turned out pretty cute...now to make 39 more:)
