Well I am back home to SW Washington and it's snowing we have probably 6-8 inches depending where you stand. I guess cant complain considering the other side of the US where they had feet and feet but I still don't like it.

Please check out the Spellbinder giveaway on my side bar enter to win...who doesn't like a giveaway? Contest ends March 31, 2011 www.favecrafts.com/sweeps/Spellbinders-Grand-Calibur-Die-Cut-Machine

I am still working on getting my Etsy set up and should be done with that soon.

I will be posting cards later. I came back with a wonderful head cold and just don't have the brain power to get motivated but oh did I miss not working in my craft room. It was nice to come home to some items that I ordered from PTI and TE so will be using them soon on something.
