Still Stuck...

Day three of being stuck in the house and you would think I got a lot done. Yeah, no such luck. The little guy has been a little clingy - I think he knows the bigger monkeys should be in school. It has been a little interesting to watch him boss them around though. I'm not sure where he gets that bossy attitude from. Apparently we moved within a county that almost never closes it schools due to weather. Three days in a row is a big deal. I sat just not 30 mins ago and watched my husband carefully make his way down the front steps and walk to the drive way to clear the snow, wait, the icesnow (yes, not really a word, but it sort of all fused together) from the car. All while trying not to slip all the way down the drive way. He managed to clear it and salt the steep drive way and has since left to pick up some milk (these kids go through nearly two gallons a week!) and a candy bar for me - I do have a major sweet tooth! I'm hoping the roads further out of our neighborhood are not as icy as the one directly in front of our house.

On the agenda today is packing my crafty things up for a fun slumber party this week-end with a group of ladies I meet up with once a month. I'm hoping that the roads get cleared by Friday so I can go. Otherwise I might have to participate by Skype!


As promised the other day, here is the bow I made along with a matching card. I used some of Basic Grey's Olivia and Bazzil CS.
What's great about this bow and card is that it only took one 12x12 sheet of paper to do both. Hows that for thrifty? I got the directions from a blog I like, Court's Crafts, visit it here for complete directions!
That's all for now -
