Five Faves Friday

I'm posting this a day early as more snow & ice is expected and we may lose power once again.

All week we have been dealing with a wicked Arctic Blast! Bitter cold temps, tons of snow, ice, wind. Brrrrrr!! I do love the cold crisp air, fresh snow & bright clear blue skies, but when it becomes windy & icy and single digit temps.....well, that's just a bit toooooo chilly for me!

Here are a few ways I love to stay warm!!


♥ Hot Cocoa and a blazing hot fire

♥♥ Uggs Keep those little piggies toasty warm plus they're so cute!

♥♥♥ I could lounge all day wearing these soft & snuggley warm Jammies

♥♥♥♥ A toasty warm jacket

♥♥♥♥♥ I love to snuggle in a bed covered with Flannel sheets

Five Friday Faves

These are just a few of my favorite sites & sounds of the Holiday season....

1. Christmas Carols playing on the radio.....The Little Drummer Boy is my all time favorite carol

2. The sound of bells ringing

3. The yummy smells of Holiday baking

4. Feeling the cold crisp air on my face

5. Snow birds on the front porch

Scrapping with Karen Russell

Friday night I spent scrapping with Karen Russell! It doesn't get much better than this!! Karen held her *10 Reasons* workshop at my LSS. The project was to build an album documenting the things that mean the most to you in a list form. We used the newest products from her Narratives collection. The Antique Cream line is so beautiful.

The evening was filled with learning new techniques, sharing wonderful stories, lots of laughter, and of course great door prizes!

Karen is one of the sweetest and warmest people you'll ever meet. By the end of the evening you will feel as if you have known her forever...she is your friend! She will inspire you!!!
