Let It Snow

Well, it has certainly been a winter snow event around here the past few days....Justin has been out of school for the past week.....We have shoveled more the past two days than all of last winter put together!!  Just wanted to share some of our pictures from this storm.....It has been interesting!! Thanks to our suburban and my amazing husbands even more amazing driving skills we have been out and about, blazing our own trails through many neighborhoods around town that the snowplows had not touched yet....crazy!  although I must admit that there are times when it is just beautiful, like Wednesday(when the first two pics were taken) and there was a sliver of blue sky for a while.  I'm pretty sure this snow will be around till Mother's day!!

 Watch our fence disappear.........................................

These next two pictures show how some places looked that did not shovel every couple of hours like we did and they were going nowhere......the snowplows had not even been down their roads yet....they were snow bound for sure...........

Busy Work

Well, Paul and I have been planning on spending a day updating some of the furniture we have and today was that day.. I was in need of something to occupy my brain so this was the perfect activity.  I totally forgot to take before pictures until it was way too late.  We updated the furniture that is in Justin's room; his dresser and night stand.  As you can see from this picture of drawers(that is all that was still in the "before" stage sorry), they were just old and therefore in need of some updating.

Well, now Justin has a dresser and night stand that, although they are indeed still old, thy are at least a bit better looking....

So, not only did I get to do my favorite thing; spend a day hanging with my sweetie.  I also had a few hours of distraction which I also enjoyed.  So, what will our next project be??  There are just so many.....how will we choose.

Snow Days~!

One thing you can be sure of in Flagstaff is.......Snow Days~!  They have been warning us that a big storm was on the way and of course anyone of school age was excited and hoping it was a REALLY big one so they would get a snow day......last year they were out the entire week before the Christmas break and then had their normal two weeks off...Merry Christmas to them huh!?  Well, unfortunately when it was time for school to start this morning the storm was just coming in and so off to school they went...only to hear an announcement during second hour that if anyone wanted(like who wouldn't) to be excused at lunch(10:45) just needed the permission of their parents and they could head for home!!!!  Man would I have loved to hear that when I was in school.

Anyway, Paul picked Justin up and then headed downtown and brought ME home from work early too!!! I LOVE SNOW DAYS~!

Hope you all get to experience a "Snow Day".....I think they are even more fun if you are still a teenager and know that yes.....school has already been cancelled for tomorrow.  Life Is Good~!

Rock On!!

Next Step

Sorry, this is the best shot I could get.... It is all cut out, laid out and ready to pick up and get sewing!!

Wish me luck....

Project......

Well, there is a new project in the works.

I am going to make a quilt....I know most of you reading this are thinking...I didn't even know she could sew?!!  Well.....You gotta start somewhere right?  I am choosing to start with a quilt.  Of course it will be a simple quilt made with squares, nothing tricky.  I can only attempt this because Terri is willing to be my helper/teacher...Thanks Terri.  I thought I should hurry and post this so that I can't back out and not attempt this project.  I will post the finished project and who knows....I might not even be embarrassed..
