Under The Weather.....FMS673

 

Under the weather here means buried under snow these days so it was fun to think spring and add some raindrops! 

 But raindrops in the winter here create ice in a New York minute.  The annual ice festival was happening just north of us in Saranac Lake this past weekend and Miss Emma enjoyed the musical themed ice castle!

I enjoyed the photos from my fireside chair!

Bee Mine....FMS672

 

We had one storm after another in January so I was hoping February might be a bit calmer......but nope...more snow with a frosting of icy rain this week.  Had to strap on the ice cleats over my boots just to take the dog out.  So I enjoyed staying inside and making a card with summery bees and blossoms!

Hope you play around with Jacquie's fun sketch this week at Freshly Made Sketches!

Defying Gravity.....FMS671

 

I was lucky enough to see Wicked long ago on Broadway - yes it was terrific. So when I went with Emma to see the movie recently I wasn’t sure if I would like it as much.  But as many of you probably know the movie was incredible and I can’t wait for Part Two!  I plan to rent it from Amazon to watch again and try to pick up on the hundreds of little details I am sure I missed the first time around.  So perhaps I was thinking of the Wizard’s escape balloon when I designed my card today.  I think I will mail it to Emma along with an invite to come over for a movie night on one of these snowy evenings!

Lots of possibilities with Judy's great sketch this week! Join us at Freshly Made Sketches!

Valentine Hearts......FMS670

 

That little bunny is hard at work on his garden of hearts but no gardening around here these days! It is six degrees as I type this on Tuesday and is expected to drop below zero tonight.  Winter is flexing its muscle in the US for sure this week!  So it's a good time to craft and start some Valentines......and read by the fire....and watch Netflix.....and do jigsaw puzzles..... I always enjoy a low key January after the December rush!

Have fun with Amy's sketch this week at Freshly Made Sketches!
