We lost our electricity twice. The first time was about 2:30 am, Saturday morning. It came back just after 6pm. So much for crafting or homework...or just about anything else, really. That was a day to stay under covers with lots of extra clothing on. I'm sure I looked exceptionally silly with my bathrobe on over my clothes, and then a scarf and mittens on top of that. Fashion was not the goal. Warmth was.
The electricity went back out later that night. I can't tell you how grateful I am to have our electricity back - and how spoiled I am by our heater! I'm still cold, but it's a lot warmer in here now.
I got started on this card last night. It's another multi-challenge card, using Paper Makeup Stamps Caffeine Trip, the sketch from Limelight Papercrafts, and this week's Etsy Inspired Challenge shop, Traveling Mama. (this card and this set)
In addition, PMS's Makeup 4 the Weekend #15 was to use pink and lots of bling. My SEI paper is all sparkly. I added 2 pink rhinestones to the upper left corner and, though you can't really see it in this photo, Rock Candy distress stickles to the sugar cubes.Other Challenges:
ABC challenge: N is for New - the SEI paper and the rhinestones are new
Fussy & Fancy: Hearts
Crafty Calendar Challenge: love/friendship with hearts
Raise the Bar: Heart to Heart
Fun with Shapes: Hearts & Stripes
Special hugs to Robyn Weatherspoon, who lost her father this weekend and to Shannan Teubner, who has lost her husband. My deepest condolences to both of these dear ladies and their families.

Carole, come on down and cozy up to the fire. This has been a wacky winter in Here Florida. Wanted to start yet another fire today, but I had a wee one and fires with children around scares me. AND we don't even have any snow.
Card is adorable.
hugs of warmth, joanne

Glad your power is back. Love the card, anyhting coffee themed is right up my alley. Very pretty colors you used, too.
Love this card Carole! And the sentiment is just tooooo cute! Stay warm up there! I heard you were suppose to get another 10"?! Our corporate office is up that way and I still have family and friends in the area and have seen a lot of pics and heard alot of stories. Meanwhile, its suppose to be 60 here today... but we are getting rain like you guys are getting snow. Bla. I don't think my backyard will dry out til April or May. It hasn't been dry for almost 3 mos now.
