Welcome winter!!!


**Winter Storm Warning in Effect**

Five words I could have waited a few more weeks (months) to hear! Living in Wisconsin, you think I would have gotten used to snow. I've lived here for most of my life (except a few years in New Hampshire), so it's not like I haven't dealt with snow every year. For some reason though, the first snowfall always seems sooo magical and beautiful and the rest... not so much! Don't get me wrong, the snow is still beautiful. It just seems to have lost the magic. The girls are hoping for a snow day and although I would love an extra day with them... I have Christmas shopping to do! Although, there is something to be said for snow days! Hot chocolate, snuggling, making snowmen... Can't beat 'em, join 'em right!!

I've just sent off my card for Shelly's cupcake card challenge on her blog. Hope I win! She's giving away a couple of target gift cards and one to her etsy shop! Fun, fun, fun! But whew! Challenging. You could only use the items provided and nothing extra. That was tough. I kept wanting to add stuff. But, I resisted and followed the rules. I thought about posting a pic of my card here, but thought it would be more fun for you to visit her blog starting tomorrow and try to figure out which one is mine! While you're there, don't forget to vote for your favorite card!!

I hope everyone had a wonderful and safe Thanksgiving holiday and weekend. Be safe and be well!!


By the way, I have super exciting news!!! Well, for me anyway. :) Mike is converting the upstairs of our back shed into a studio for me!! I think he finally got tired of my projects taking over the house!! I'll post pics soon.

COMMENTS CLOSED!!! I'll be back later with a new post to share the winners :) Thanks to all who entered!! ONE WORLD-ONE HEART I'm proud to announce my One world-One heart giveaway!! This is my first year and I think it's way cool! A Whimsical Bohemian is the hostess for this amazing event and I "pirated" the follwing paragraph of info about the event from her: "The original idea behind this giveaway event was to bring bloggers together from around the world who may never ordinarily meet. It closes the gap of the blog community and enables us to interact, discover new and wonderful people, and in the process possibly win a prize or many prizes along the way. 2007 had roughly 85-90 participants and many connections were made because of it......friendships that are still going strong.We had a strong showing the first year for sure, and then in 2008 we had just about tripled that number.This is more than wanting to win something.......that is only the means.....

Happy 4th! and... a Giveaway!

I hope everyone had a great holiday! The pic above is of our local fireworks, which we are lucky enough to be able to see from our house :) We had my family over today for a cookout. Steak and chicken on the grill. Yum!!! I chose the chicken. Weird right. I LOVE steak! However, I had two cupcakes yesterday that my daughter made and decorated red, white and blue for a party, so I felt like I'd indulged enough! I love cooking for people. I think I should have more parties :) I ran yesterday for the first time in a long time. I decided to try out the high school track made out of recycled tires. My hip (long story) was sore, but bearable. I started over with Week 5 of the Couch to 5K training program. Figured it was best not to rush it and injure myself again. I had enough left at the end to run the bleacher stairs for 3 minutes!! (My quads were screaming, but it felt oh so good ;) You can't really tell in the pic, but my face was sooo red! I hate that I get this red. My middle d...
