Our snow has all melted!! All 16" of it took about 2 weeks. That is a record I think for NC!! Anyway, yesterday it was almost 80 degrees so we enjoyed walking through the neighborhood and we saw the sunset which was beautiful. Next week, they will be paving in our neighborhood so we may have to skip walking for a few days.

On Splitcoast Stampers today, one of the challenges is "scribbled art" and this is my take on it. I took a stencil of dogs from Waffle Flower and scribbled where the dogs go. I decided to send it to my chemo angel since she loves dogs. So I made it different shades of green for this challenge also.

Meeting my godchild Mindy today for a bit of shopping. I feel like I've cooped up in the house for a whole week with this snow. We still have about 3" on the ground but at least it's melting. This a lot for us!!

Cut It Up - This Makes Me Happy (Potato chips or nacho chips makes me happy LOL. I was recently diagosed with gastroparesis which means my stomach empties more slowly than normal so I have to watch what I eat and take medication. I had lost 30 lbs and was getting full by only eating a few bites so I do get happy when I can eat a few chips)

I love this heart background stencil by Papertrey Ink. I have it used so much over the past couple of years. I also added a circle of vellum under the clock so it would stand it out more. I felt like the clock was getting lost among the hearts.

Our 14" of snow is FINALLY melting and I was able to go to the library and grocery store today. It may be next week until I can to the park and walk. Plus it will be in the 60's next week. YAY!!!

Holy cow!! We got 15" of SNOW yesterday - I believe we broke a 100 year old record for that much falling in 1 day in NC. Hubby has been outside with a leaf blower for 4 hours and he still isn't done!! It's very cold and won't get above freezing until Tuesday so it will all keep re-freezing. It's pretty to look at but I will be glad when it melts!!
This is my Valentine for my hubby of almost 35 years (in May!!)
