Life is Wonderful!

The sun came out today and the air started to warm - and the fire alarm in my building at work went off and we had to evacuate!  It wasn't warm enough outside for a fire drill!  Thankfully, it was a false alarm!  Phew!  The sprinkler system water pipes burst in our parking garage, making a mess down there.  But again, phew...it's been closed to us for parking because our building has been remodeled and the garage was a staging area for the construction.  And a good segue into today's card, featuring a stamp from the new Perfect Pennants set!

Vivid Vases

Today was a sunny day here, but oh so cold - and so much snow!  I think my sub-conscious was wishing it all away when I sat down to work on a few projects in my craft room this afternoon!  I am ready for warmer temperatures to melt all this gunk away!  

And just an observation....the UPS guy delivered my Stampin' Up order today, but we didn't see any sign of our mail person.  Maybe tomorrow, but at least the UPS guy made it!

A Golden Birthday!

It was a cold, snowy, windy day here today....and they say tomorrow will be even colder, if that's possible.  Brrrr!!!!  While my husband and oldest son were blowing, shoveling, and salting the driveway, I stayed in the warm house and got to spend some time in my craft room!  Hooray!!!  Thankfully, I will be working from home tomorrow and won't have to go out in this bitter cold weather.  I really feel for those who will be out there.  Here is a picture of my crazy dog, who loves this weather!

On to a warmer note, one of my favorite items in the new Occasions Catalog is the Fancy Foil Designer Vellum.  It is available in both silver and gold and it pairs up beautifully with the foil sheets carried over from the Holiday Catalog.  I paired them up with the Countless Sayings 2 Photopolymer stamp set for a dressed up birthday card.  

Supply List:
Countless Sayings 2 Photopolymer Stamp Set #135893
Labels Collection Framelits #125598
Fancy Foil Designer Vellum - Gold #133363
Foil Sheets - Gold #132622

Love is in the air

I don't know about where you are, but here in the St Louis area, we woke up to a little snow on the ground this morning and a lot of COLD!  Brrrr!!!!  Maybe Mother Nature is as sad as so many of us are to say good bye to some of the products that have become favorites from the fall Holiday Catalog.  But, saying good bye so also means we get to say hello to the new gems in the Occasions catalog starting January 3 and the Sale-a-bration brochure starting on January 28.  YAY!  I love having new products to use!
