A Flower, Just Because

Who else is freezing today?  It was 19 degrees out this morning when I got up, so the hubs and I threw water on some bushes in our backyard in an effort to create some icicles and take some neat pictures.  Well, the water froze just fine but in most cases it's crystal clear so then the holly leaves just looked extra shiny.  We tried, at least!  I did go out walking this morning to take some pictures of the Spanish moss on some trees near here, and while I was gone one of the dogs (I'm guessing Vader) ate one of my Eos lip balms.  Then my oatmeal exploded in the microwave, and at lunchtime I burned my grilled cheese sandwich but after that I figured that was three bad things in a row so I'm safe for the rest of the day.

So then I made this :)

Just because it's always fun to get mail for no other reason than the sender was thinking of you.  I used the current challenge at Cupcake Inspirations:

I *had* to add some green though.  I also used the current sketch from Freshly Made:

Gotta love a sketch that's non-fussy and easy to work with, which are adjectives that do not describe my girl Sadie.

I mean, I love that she wants to hang out close to me when I'm working in my craft room, but usually she's even closer to my chair so I have a very hard time getting up and moving around, which I do all the time because all my paper and stamps are not within arm's reach other than the stamp sets stacked up on my table and some white paper scraps, which do not a whole project make.  That was a long sentence.

I'm off to go work on another scrapbook layout.  I've got one all done except for journaling, but I want to make a companion layout for it first and then journal on both of them together.  Cheers, peeps!
