Snow Day

I like it when it snows like this. Where we can snuggle in our warm house and watch Daddy shovel the driveway. Mia hadn't been feeling to well so I settled that we would stay home for the day watching lots and lots of movies (Mia), folding mounds of laundry (me), teaching Sammy to go down the stairs, and dipping grilled cheese sandwiches in hot tomato soup while watching the fat flakes fall.

My most favorite thing after a big snowstorm is the bright light that fills the house when the sun comes out. It finally inspired me to paint the yellow tiled windowsills white. Only in the front room of course. I wouldn't want to go too crazy. And, I cleaned out the TV armoire. I know, crazy.

After school, I dropped the kids off at the babysitters and went to work. It's fun to work at a scrapbooking store because you get to scrapbook sample projects for the store. Often, there is a little stack of supplies in the front with a note that they want a layout and two cards or a mini book or frame. It's really nice to not worry, within reason of course, about how much money your project is costing. It wasn't too busy last night giving me a good chance to really look at the new papers and embellishments thinking about a Valentine swap that I need to get cracking on. I think that I have an idea of what I would like to do. I wasn't planning on doing a traditional paper Valentine, but there are so many pretty papers out right now.

It just felt like a good day yesterday. Things were done that needed to be done for a long time. It was quiet and not stressful. My favorite kind of day.
