This Snowy Friday

I meant to have my blog post done much earlier in the day, but we got quite a bit of snow today, and I knew that if I wanted out of my house, that this afternoon may be my only opportunity.  I took advantange quickly.  Some eats and a Starbucks visit with my little family never fails to disappoint.  :)


I'm so proud of all of you for participating in the craft swap!  I'd like to post a few photos from our Flickr group-- they are not "best of" pictures or favorites, just a few to inspire us!  All of the crafts posted are lovely, and I'm looking forward to seeing even more!

I love this batch of pretties.  :)

How cute are these gifts???

So lovely.

I'm kind of enamored with this.  :)

And, yes.  Even  beautiful paintings!

I have to say, I'm so impressed by all of you!  I love seeing your different mediums of art.  You've all done a great job, and I would encourage all of us to comment and compliment others as more crafts are posted.  :)

I'm in for the night.  It's time for me to buckle down and focus on my update on Friday the 5th.  I want to have lots to offer you!  Thanks for being by my side.  I feel a tad sensitive tonight, and I just want you all to know how much I appreciate you. <3


xoxo Katie
