Wow! It feels so very good to get to hang out in my stamping room and create something today. I’ve not had the chance here lately. With the ice storm that came through our power was touch and go. Brrrr, the house gets cold fast without heat, let me tell you. It did look really romantic here with all the candles a blaze, lol.
I’m considering running out today to get some sort of wood burning stove, hmmmm. I feel a purchase coming on. 🙂
I hope you are warm, snug in your home with heat and lights.
