March 2025 Blog Train and Fan Freebie

This has been a weird winter!  When I started this kit a week or so ago, it was snowing and cold.  Like, below zero cold.  This week, however, the sun is shining and warm so I don't need my heated jacket and gloves when I'm working with my horses each morning.  I could get used to this.  If only it stays this warm and rains instead of snow.  Works for me!

I love coffee.  There is no life until after I've had my first cup.  I'm testing out a few new flavors I picked up at the store last week.  One is just ok.  Two others are pretty good and the fourth flavor is a keeper for sure.  After a cup or two, sometimes three, everything is right with the world :)

The colors this month were pretty fun to work with so I made some extra do-dads to go with the collection above.  Have fun creating your pages!

The Boo Update --

Where the horses get kind of wild and crazy, snow has just the opposite effect on Boo.  Oh, he sat on the windowsill and watched the snow falling for a few minutes, then said "enough of this", jumped on the bed in the guest room and has been there pretty much all afternoon.  

Come back to see me next month!

February 2025 Blog Train and Fan Freebie

A winter wedding sounds so romantic.  You know, with a light snow coming down on a starry night.  But, I honestly prefer summer weddings.  If I'm going to wear a dress, it better be warm.  We haven't gotten much snow yet, but it has been COLD!  My mode of dress this time of year includes a heated jacket, heated gloves, artic snow gear and boots rated to 80 below zero.  Sub-zero temperatures all around me, but under all that gear -- it's like a summer day :)  This year, as far as snow fall goes, Florida and New Orleans have had more snow than what we have.  Since there's still plenty of time yet for major snow and cold here, I'm knocking on wood.  At the moment, however, we're having 50 degree weather.  Feels more like April than February :)  

As a side note -- The flowers, leaves, the curly accents, the frame and the corners in this kit are actually carved from wood.  A little Photoshop presto-chango to add color and this is what you get --  Enjoy!

The thing I like most about Valentine's Day is that it comes right smack-dab in the middle of winter here, when we dearly need a distraction from the cold weather.  I usually make heart-shaped cookies and let the grandkids decorate them.  It's a fun way to spend an afternoon together.  They think I'm so cool :)

The Boo Update --

This is my husband's office.  I think it's like a total disaster, but he seems to be able to function quite well in clutter.  Don't ask me why or how.  I haven't a clue.  I just shake my head  and . . . NO, I do not clean that room.  It would mess up his system.  (That's a system????) Boo, however, thinks that it's a dandy place to catch a few rays and take a nap.  Men!  

See you in March
