Just a Quick Project

I've been working on several paper projects lately...this is just one of the ones I am currently playing with....I haven't glued anything down yet and am not sure if I'm going to switch it up a bit!

Have a superb weekend!!

Inspiration for the Day

There's always a little truth behind every 'just kidding.'

A little knowledge behind every 'I don't know.'

A little emotion behind every 'I don't care.'

A little love behind every 'I hate you!'

A little uneasiness behind every 'I'm okay.'

A little pain behind every 'forget it.'

A little fear behind every 'leave me alone.'

A little hope behind every 'goodbye.'

And a little 'something' behind every 'nothing.'

Welcome to February....NOT!

Cities Potentially Impacted:
Detroit | Buffalo | Syracuse | Rochester | Burlington | Concord | Manchester | Augusta

Impacts:
Although winds will not be as much of an issue in the Northeast, this storm still means business. Upstate New York and all of northern New England can expect at least 10 inches of snow from this storm. Some spots may experience a snowfall nearing 2 feet!

This will likely be a heavy, wet snow, much like the snowstorm that struck Washington, D.C., last week. The weight of the snow could bring down tree limbs and power lines.

YEAH.

This is NOT what we need.  A little side trip to Bermuda seems like a really good idea right now...don't you think??

The girlz do not like the wind or the ice...Chloe had a real problem with her leg last time it was icy. 

But they LOVE the snow!

Inspiration for the Day

Sometimes we feel that we've got to climb a mountain or raise a monument to leave our mark on the world. What we fail to recognize is that often we make a difference simply by existing, by handling what life gives us. Maybe the way we deal with our challenges and our rewards inspires someone else to achieve worthwhile things in their own life.

Differences...

The above is what my daughter is looking at!

It is Twenty-Eight degrees here right now. And I haven't laid eyes on an actual beach since 2003.

I think we need a vacation. A BEACH Vacation!

Let us be grateful to people who make us happy;
they are the charming gardeners
who make our souls blossom.

Marcel Proust
