Back & White! Toronto is deluged with Snow!

Hello, hello and hello! 

I'm back!  And its really, really WHITE outside, ha ha...really white!



 I was MIA because I came down with some super-duper bug that knocked the beejeebies out of me for nearly all of January! It was one of those you get only once in awhile - thank God - and you can't do anything but moan 'n' groan around the home helplessly watching a multitude of things piling up...and wondering why your family can't seem to do any additional tasks [ahem]- hell! Mom is down!!  Well, that's another discussion, righ? Right.

ANYHOO, so I just spent the better part of the last week doing:
      a) catching up with business,
      b) met up with a lovely girl - Hi Kathy! - who I am grateful to say, I returned her wallet I found,       c) FINALLY getting out of my WIND Mobile account {another hallelujah!},
 and then what did I do?......

....well, went CRAFT SHOPPING - HECK YAH!!!!!!  

No kidding, eh?  After all, I sooooo deserved to!  But first things first here is some photos of what is outside our door after the SNOWFALL of FEB 08-2013!   My daughter is not home today because she had to SLEEP AT WORK! No kidding...it was that bad! {well - not all that bad when you consider I had a quiet home all night, lol}..........but here is what TORONTO looks like after a snowfall that had traffic swerving, and grinding to a halt many times over!

6 PM  Feb 8/13  Snow is overtaking TO as it falls, falls everywhere!

 



The poor Pepper has to contend with this ...lol

NOW - we wake up to this.......
...isn't it pretty, oh glorious Sun!
But just the night before, this intersection had cars stuck...oh my! It was
like watching a sport to see if people could become unstuck, ha ha! Got
to buy those WINTER TIRES folks - pay the money! 

Our lamp.

Look to the left.....

Look down....."somebody" still needs his walk!
 
And that walk was for the physically fit!  My goodness, navigating the sidewalks was no easy feat!
And his Highness had to be picked up more than a couple of times and carried - phew, my Tim's coffee was good to say the least in the midst of all this.  But its February - what else can we expect?

OK ......I will move to my next post about crafting.....yeah for crafting in a winter way!  See ya soon!

Beautiful Birthday Card from my Daughter

I was ' speechless ' on my birthday when my daughter presented me with her own hand-made card for me! Reason is that when we got up that morning we were in each other's company and yet somehow she managed to sneak off into my craft room and pull this together without me knowing it - - I was totally caught off guard, lol -- and loved it!!! She has always impressed me with her creativity because she doesn't do hand-craft items very often - she is more of an 'online creator' - I have her to thank for all my web banners and general blog technical help :) I was happy to see the cute butterfly resting on the branch, that is something I would not of thought of! Anyways, it was a lovely gesture and a thoughtful card. Beverly SUPPLIES LIST  Stampin' Up!   Eastern Bloom and Kindred Spirit stamp sets. Bella Rose  Designer Paper Pink Pirouette cardstock. 

YNS Challenge #3 YNSC3

Hi folks, Having fun this week playing with my fav summer theme of sea creatures!  And to justify it even more, I am playing along with YOUR NEXT STAMP's CHALLENGE #3 "Anything Goes"!   You can see their challenge details HERE ! Deadline is Weds. midnight. I already was toying with ideas involving 3D projects lately and wanted to do something within a frame, and so I put two'n'two together and here is my entry....my " Mermaids Playing in the Sun Shadow Box ". The frame was one I had for awhile, maybe two years?  And my stamps from Your Next Stamp are the adorable mermaid set, Happy Birthday Mermaid which I acquired about two years ago also! Coincidence - I think not! LOL! Later I plan to embellish this even more once I find my darn box of tiny shells!  Maybe some charms? Heck who knows! :) I am going to write up a more detailed post about creating this by the week-end, so return here if you care for that.  Tomorrow I am going to be trainin

Fun with Tags!

That is exactly what I had with this tag.....amongst all the oodles of cards I am making for a craft fair coming up, I am taking breaks by making projects that use all kinds of different elements.  Sort of like a cardstock 'stew', lol.                                                          Cute  Gift Tag or Notecard TAG BASE  1. First, I started with a small piece of cardstock of 3 x 6 inches, folded to create a square 3 x 3 inch tag. 2.  I layered a BAJA BREEZE cardstock square on top of the tag - I used my SCALLOP TRIM CORNER PUNCH to create the pretty corners! 3. To rev it up a bit, I glittered the bottom of the tag with some of Dazzling Diamonds. TAG DECORATION 4. I stamped  my lil' WALRUS  on a punched out '1-3/4 in.' Circle  of Whisper White cardstock  - then while I "masked" him, I stamped the background with a snowflake stamp from JOLLY OLD ST NICK set. 5. Next I placed the stamped circle onto a larger green circle, and and trans
