Hi Friends! Well, as predicted, we did indeed get a pile of snow last night! This was the first time we actually had to use our plow truck to clear the drive. I think we’ve been quite lucky, actually, as our winter has been very mild so far. Here are some photos I took a couple of days ago (and it was +16 degrees):
…and this morning (minus 5 degrees)…
Big difference! It’s so pretty outside.
It may cold and snowy, but it’s hard not to have Spring on your mind when creating cards with the “Lots of Lavender” Sale-a-bration stamp set! For this card, I also used the “Yay You” Host Reward stamp set, which I love! The fonts on the sentiments are awesome and of course, so are all the stamps in this set.
