Well actually, it stopped and then returned in a much more welcome form. It's snowing!
The only stinky thing about the snow is that we were supposed to be volunteering for Give a Day, Get a Day at Disney. The place where we were going to help is about 45 minutes away and we've acquired a healthy respect for small snow amounts in the South, so we'll stay put.
Our trip is coming up soon (remember this post? I had planned on playing a guessing game a little longer, but I'm not so good at secrets, or at finding Disney hint photo ops that aren't obvious...) , so we're running out of options to earn our free day. I'm waiting to hear back from our local chapter of the Linus Project about making blankets for our service. It would be perfect, because I feel like tackling some projects.
See the cute Valentine's Day Lollipops we made for Big Sister's classmates?
The idea came from here. She has SO many cute things, and most of them are pretty simple. Except that the first few Candy Canes got a little too melty...
But that's ok. It gives me something to submit to the new blog I found. It's pretty funny, and it also makes me feel like I'm not alone when I make a mess of simple projects.
I also have a few new crafty blogs I'm following. Check them out:
Mod Podge Rocks
Mustard Seed Creations
MaryJanes and Galoshes
That last one has a super fun giveaway going on right now, so head over & enter!
I'm not the only one with the creative juices flowing around here. Just check out these Valentines Big Sister has been working on:
I know I'm a little biased, but I think she is quite an artist.
She says she wants to be one when she grows up. And a Kindergarten teacher, and a Vet, a Radio Station Person, a "Pet Store Lady" and a Mom. I think I know where we'll be sticking that tax refund this year. (YES! It's true! WE GET A REFUND!!!)
So, friends, things are looking up today. The rain gave way to snow. We've actually accomplished some fun (and cute) things around here. We're getting a little tax money back into our pockets for the first time in years. And I'm starting (slowly) to feel like my own personal fog is lifting after it settled in a looong time ago.
More on that one is coming soon.
Time to join Big Sis in her snow dance.
