Happy St. Patrick Day swap

Happy St. Patrick Day swap (missing from Tuesday for some reason)

Thanks to Susan Creer for this St. Patty's Day card. This is such a popular stamp set right now!

At the end of this post I will post pics of our big snow from last night (for Julie to see).  Last night I did not cancel club because the weather dudes were all so sure that the snow would not start until after midnight.  On the way to club we had rain, mid-way through club it was a mix, and by the end of club it was snowing "to beat the band".  By the time we finished the orders and put the room back together my car was covered and my daughter was sure that we would surely perish on the way home.  (What about that?)  When we stopped at Walgreens for some freebies (coupons and register rewards) she was in a panic!  LOL!  I drove home slowly and carefully; traffic was minimal and I took my time.  Thank goodness my hubby can work from home today because in town things are probably a mess again.  Hubby says that the snow is wet and heavy.  He has already cleared the front walk and uncovered the poor, cold car in front of our house.  Keep warm and safe!

Happy Valentine's Day card from swap

I can't give any credit for this card and there was no list of supplies included!  So sad!  This is the last of my Valentine's Day cards in the swap. 

After a short bout with the flu this weekend (terrible headache, upset tummy, and crabbiness...wait...is that normal without chocolate?) I am "back in the saddle" again!  Hooray!  Now if we can just miss the huge snowstorm heading our way I would be supremely happy.  (-:  Looking out the window now it is hard to believe that this gorgeous day will turn to rain which will turn to snow.  The weatherman is calling for up to a foot of snow, thunder snow again, before 8 am tomorrow.  Wow.

Happy stamping!
Stef
