Its A Snow Day In Southwest Georgia!
Its a snow day.
Someone had the nerve to walk on my snow.
2.5 to 3 inches.
My pot survived. Forgot to bring it in.
No swimming today.
Georgia Swamp Oaks...water oaks. Our yard is filled with them.
Even the cracks in the wall got snow.
We have the type of gutters that you never have to clean out but they couldnt stop the icicles from forming.
Time to come inside. Its beautiful from here.
I am one of those southerners who loves snow. I have been lucky enough to travel places where snow occurs and you learn to drive in it. I wish it would have snowed more but folks would have gone bonkos around here.
Im gonna enjoy it. It probably will stay a day or two and then be gone. Thankful it came for a little while.

We are having a YT hop...come join us.
Brendahdp77 is having a YT Hop celebrating her new digi Young Love and she is so cute. Here is the project I made for this hop. Go to my YT channel for all the details. There are giveaways going on. All the details are there.
I used the Michaels Melodies and Lace paper pack. Created the heart by cutting into strips, forming into a heart( you can find this on Pinterest by the way) . Then I added a crochet doily. Next a hand made tag was made, a small MS doily on top of that . Some flowers, a small chipboard tag with flatback pearls and ofcourse the cute digi called Young Love.
Join in the fun. http://www.youtube.com/user/63sonotech there are prized involved but you have to follow the rules.

Its Time for Finds of the Week....Valentines Day!
I want you to get in the mood for love and romance with this blog today. The one thing that is free in life is the love we give to one another. Sure gifts are nice but just loving someone and not hurting them is the nicest thing one can do for another. Hope you enjoy these finds and maybe use them this Valentines Day!

This has been my favorite find so far. Is it not just so beautiful? I know crafty folks will like this but for those of you who arent, Im sure a nursery can do form and greens for you. Then go to the dollar store, find some floral wire and felt hearts (I know michaels or joanns) will have them, so lace and beads and use the picture for guidance.

Yummies for the kids in all of us.

You dont have to be a square anymore. Yes we can cookie cut our way out of the square. This is on my to do list.

Okay now listen up men, this one is easy. Go buy a plant, grab some paint, foam letters and a small mylar balloon and you will see one happy lady.

Way, way cool and so in right now. But the awesome part is these are made of sugar. Who would have thought. The first link is where I found it and the second link is where the first link said to go. So I did.

Doesnt this just scream Sopranos? Might just be me but Im thinking how cute for any easy dinner at home. Who needs to go out anyway?

While these sandwiches are great for the kids, the whole page is devoted to Valentines Day meals. Awesome find.

What a great appetizer to start of your Valentines Day meal.
Thanks for stopping by. Hope love finds you this Valentines Day. If your single, love yourself. It doesnt get any better than that.

I can only imagine how much more beautiful the AT is in fall and winter. I might get the chance to see winter in a few weeks if I get the lower Ohio travel job. Yes I will take pictures. Thanks for stopping by. More AT pics tomorrow.

I was tired of driving on the windy road of the AP. I told my son that lets find the highway. Well in order to find it, we had to take several backroads and when we did, this beauty found us. It is on private property but they let us take pictures. It is so beautiful. I hope you will enjoy the sights and sounds of this video.
Thanks for stopping by today. Mona :)
