Snowy Lottery Numbers


Snowy greetings from NW Iowa! At the time of this afternoon's photo the amount of snow was nearing 13 inches. And it's still snowing. Also...notice that my husband's method of moving snow is very....methodical....fastidious!

And this just in.....Another shout out from Just Us Girls! I am so excited! Is it a coincidence that I received the honors from "JUGs" on a post where I was ranting about tatas and bras!? TeeeHeehehehe!

This is my second Chic of the Week in resent history! Number 272 was for a PowerPoppy post, A Winter Solstice Merry Mulligan, on Dec. 21.

My first Just Us Girls honor was in 2012 for this card on my Ice Cream and Pirate Jack post for a Christmas wreath card.

So...let's recap: JUGs Chic of the Week #164 #272 #277. I think I have new lottery numbers! SWEET!!!



Now on to today's cards I wanted to play along with the challenge at Just Us Girls again and couldn't make up my mind which direction to take so I made two!

On to version two! I'm sure you are all wondering how I could possibly have time to make two cards - what with the snow....and The Super Bowl! That is today...right? Something about deflated balls, east coast, west coast? This one is headed to my sister Gail - she already called 'dibs'.

  1. So much snow!!!!!!!!! and so beautiful. Of course I'm not shoveling it - in any way! Would love to see it though.
    Both of these are fabulous! Big congrats on the wins too. Love that first one and all the gold. The second is such a wonderful, wonderful design - and so pretty! Yep, two terrific cards!
    Stay warm - or just go on out and build a snowman!
