Can you believe this is the last Wednesday of February? Wow! That went by fast!!I am so looking forward to Spring though!!!! This morning I woke up to another 10 inches of snow!!! The worst part...it isn't over yet. They expect more heavy snow today and another big storm tomorrow which may produce another foot!! Yikes!

Hi Chris,
I'm loving this gorgeous card. Brilliant colours and papers and a great image.
I've just been moaning about the two inches of snow we've had today - you've just made me feel terrible. We have obviously nothing to complain about when compared to you. Olease take care and stay safe.
Lord bless,

I get the winter blues really bad. I think I have that S.A.D as I deal with it every yr and I get pretty down/weapy and I find it really tough to get through the last bit. I have found just getting out on a sunny day helps me. We got more snow too and here I thought we were almost there!

This is such a sweet image Chris! I went to graduate school at SUNY Brockport - I was there for the blizzard of '76! I learned to cross country ski up there. I don't eve want to live in weather like that again! Stay warm my friend!!
Hugs, Harriet
BEAUTIFUL!!! You are rockin' all these challenges again.....fun layout and theme!!!
Have fun playing in the snow...LOL....I bet you can't wait to go home...sorry had to tease ya...LOL!!! Hugs ~S~
Wow, you're buried in snow up there! We're patiently waiting for the this big snow tomorrow...though they say the wind will be the real story...possibly 70 mph! eek! Sounds like blizzard conditions! But the farmers around here are predicting a granddaddy of a snow storm next week....we'll have to wait and see how wise these 'ole farmers are!
Gorgeous card, btw Chris!
take care!
Blessings, maria
