winter fun...

Winter Fun

I grew up in Canada and remember playing outside in the snow for hours...only coming in for meals and snacks...things have changed...now I work full time and cringe when I have to drive in the stuff...they are predicting loads of snow for us this winter...thank goodness I can tele-commute.
 

I've been having so much fun with Cosmo Cricket's Mitten Weather...isn't it fab with the black?!  For you Cosmo Cricket fans....Ellen Hutson carries Circa 1934!!!  I had the pleasure of picking my order up...meeting with Ellen (Ellen's daughter too) and Julia...even got a tour!  I was kicking myself for not having my camera!!

I was inspired by Mojo Monday 163:

Yup, it's me with Mitten Weather Project # 3:) for the Cosmo Cricket December GDT Random draw that will happen at the end of this month.


Okay, onto the Blogaversary Party!!!


Yup, you read it right...I'll be slinging out the candy over the next 3 Saturday's to celebrate my 3rd Blogaversay which is officially today!

Check out this weekend's candy:


1.  Scor-Pal
2.  7 Gypsies Paper Pad
3.  Four Studio G stamps

I actually want to keep the party small and simple:)  Just leave me a comment {only 1 per person} and let me know one thing that you are grateful for. 

Commenting will be open until Sunday, November 7th @ 11:59 pm PST...internationals are of course, welcome:)

Thank you all for such a wonderful blogging journey...really, I've been so fortunate to meet so many fabbie bloggie friends, be continually inspired...all while thoroughly enjoying myself...that my friends are a couple reasons I'm grateful for you:)

Wow.. such a delightful card and candy. :)
Happy Blogoversary!

One thing I am thankful for in life is the gift of senses for colours, emotions and life :). It just makes life a wonder to be explored!
Cute card! Fun party! I am grateful for family...but if we are looking at this from a crafting point of view, I am grateful for the internet and all the inspiration that is pushing me to try new things and create. Happy 3rd - I have been blogging for a year and a half :>)

Telecommuting- def. Amy making cards with one hand while having one computer set up with work that she ignores and another computer set up with all us coolios in blogland. She busts out great cards one after another and on her lunch break, she does an hour worth of "the man's" work so he won't think she wasn't making cards all day.
hehe j/k

I am grateful that this semester is ending December 8th because I'm fried. I am ready to be somewhat normal again.
Sherry Eckblad said…
Girl that card is absolutely fabulous and at the rate you are going ~ you just might win that Guest DT spot.

We are supposed to be in for a winter with lots of snow too. Yuck I hate snow.

I am grateful for my family and friends like you.

I am grateful for my family especialy my Mom and Dad! Not only did my Mom raise her six kids but she has had a hand in my two and my 6 nephews. Both can now be found at all the football, baseball and basketball games and even though they are 79 and 77 they are always willing to help! Don't know what I would do without them.

I love this yummy candy. I wish I had the chance to have the bird stamps when i made my card that you can see at uniqu3scrapper.blogspot.com.

I am thankful for having close family, 2 of the best friends, but most of all thankful to be able to continue on going to school and continuing to my bachelor even though I am unemployed due to the economy which everyone applies for the same job.

Dana said…
This is adorable Amy. You are right, the black looks so good with he pink and the snowman!
That's how winters were for me too. And just like you, I freak out when it begins to snow (It started here on October 14th, and again this morning I woke up to see my car and lawn covered with the stuff. UGH)!

I am eternally grateful for the small blessings in my life. Food, a home, a running vehicle, a job.
