The Great Thaw....

Good Evening Everyone.

It was really strange to go to bed last night with the garden covered with about 4 inches of snow and then to wake up this morning with not a flake in sight. It had rained quite hard during the night and had washed all of the white stuff away. The stream was flowing quite fast and the noise from it frightened Pusskat and so she wouldn't drink from it as she normally does. Instead I had to turn on the tap in the bath and let her drink from there. Why she won't drink from her bowl is beyond me.

There has been one good thing about all of this snow though and that is the extra crafting days that I have had.

Here is today's card:

This little fairy is so cute and easy to colour. She is one of the great stamps from Hanglar and Stanglar. Once again all of the papers and cards are from my scrap drawers (it's amazing how much there is in there!) and finished off with a sentiment and little gems in the shape of hearts. The heart on her tummy has been topped with glossy accents to give it a nice sheen.

More snow.....

Good evening all.

I really didn't look forward to driving to work this morning but I was quite suprised at how clear the roads were and when I finally got into Taunton there was hardly any snow at all. It was freezing though and typically it was my playtime duty. There I was wrapped in my hat, scarf and gloves and my great big coat with just my nose and eyes peeping out. Now I am back home and in the warm my nose still feels cold. The forecast for this evening is more snow and quite heavy too. I might just get another crafting day out of it!!!

minus 8 degrees

Good Evening Everyone.

I can't believe that the weather forecast has said that the temperature tonight will be -8 degrees. I am not looking forward to driving to work tomorrow. At least there is no snow forecast.

Graham has been out in the garden taking photos of the snow before it disappears. I can't see this lot disappearing over night!

Enjoy what is left of the weekend and keep safe and warm.

An extra Crafting day

Hello Everyone

I was beginning to wonder why everyone was making such a fuss about the snow when I drew back the curtains.....where had my garden gone???? It had been replace with a massive white carpet. Graham managed to get to work but I set off and after driving at 15 mph and nearly skidding into a ditch twice I gave up and went back home. I phoned work to explain that I wouldn't be able to make it, to be told that they had decided to close the school for the day because it was just too bad. Wayhayyy!!!!!

Here is what I have been doing all day.
