and more snow....

My "prize" ring I won on Heidi Swapp's site (courtesy of Liz Eaton) arrived today! I love it and it looks really fabulous paired with my anniversary band....

The snow started falling before school even let out for the day. My son's best friend got dropped off since his school got out earlier than ours so he went with me to pick the kids up. We ran by the grocery store to get the supplies for Libby's Valentine's party, doubtful that we would even get to have it. Jim took the boys to see the movie, Percy Jackson and the Olympian: The Lightning Thief. In the meantime, the snow continued to pour from the sky and Libby did end up calling off her party. My girlz game night which was also scheduled to meet tonight had to be canceled, too.
The plus side to all this is that at least we will be home together and can watch the opening ceremonies of the Olympics. Just waiting patiently for the fellas to make it back from the theater.

I Won!!! Thank you, Heidi Swapp!

I am as overjoyed as a person can be right now! I won a contest for a prize and I didn't even know I had entered it! LOL! A few nights ago, Heidi Swapp had posted some awesome links to video tutorials for some of the great Valentine's day stuff House of 3 was offering. That same night, my daughter and I had worked on one of her banners-you might recall this post a few days ago. At any rate, that night was the first time I had ever recalled seeing an open comments section on her site and I just felt so inspired by her enthusiasm in general that I just had to take a moment to thank her! You might also recall one of my early posts way back in January mentioning the book 5 that I had picked up per her suggestion and just devoured. Well, I know I am gushing but as I said-I am completely overjoyed that I won something. This is what I won! Please take a moment and check out the artist's, Liz Eaton's lovely stuff on etsy and to also visit one of my favorite artists and idols, Heidi! Just so you know, House of 3 is doing Friday sale, $5.00 off a purchase of $9.99 or more so go get the stuff to make all those Valentine cards you need to have ready by next week!

Thanks so much...what a bright spot in this otherwise gray day in the winter wonderland that is western North Carolina!
