Post Storm ...

Wow, that was quite a storm last weekend ! And I loved it !!! Those of you who know me, know that I love winter and snow. And it was a bit of a bonus to actually have TWO days off in a row !! That never happens . So in case you were wondering, I was closed on Saturday. The 6 foot drift across the road in either direction kept us home.
I live right on the shore and the wind is usually pretty fierce. Add to that an extra high tide , lots of spray, and some fairly cold temperatures ... and this is what you get . An ice encrusted village !! Here are a few photos I took at the corner, down from my house. That's ice !!

CARD KIT OF THE WEEK :
Black & Red. That's what it's all about this week. I was searching through my supplies and saw one of these papers. Loved it. So I started to look for more. Lo & behold, there were lots !! So the kit became all about that colour combination. Watch for more colour theme kits in the future - it was quite fun !! In the kit, you get all the supplies needed ( ready to assemble) and directions for all 3 cards for just $5. Leave a comment if you want any kits saved.
