The weather outside is FRIGHTFUL!

I think that the photos speak for themselves! It's COLD, WINDY and just NASTY outside today! At times, when the wind gusts, you can hardly see across the yard.

Yeah, I know.....it is pretty, but so is a nice sunny warm day!


Betty DID have her head down on the printer sound asleep until the flash clicked! Don't bug me mom. I'm on my nice warm printer and it's cold outside!

Here's what I've been making lately since you can't get outside to do much else. I think that they are turning out CUTE! If you are on my Christmas gift list, don't look below this line of print! LOL
