Sneak Peek Chantilly, Card #3

This is the third and final card of the kit.  It makes 15 cards in three designs.   I added just card bases and a sheet of Kraft cardstock to make 30.

The main stamp for this one is a fun one.  Everything that is stamped in Desert Sand is one long stamp.

Sneak Peek Chantilly, Card #2

Here's another of the cards from the Chantilly Workshop on the Go Card Kit.

I love this cake stamp!  I see lots of cards in my future with this one.  Love the little flags, too.  And yes, all the stamps do come with the kit.  

Sneak Peek--Chantilly Card #1

Only a couple weeks until the new Idea Book is available for orders.  I am loving EVERYTHING in it!  One of the things I ordered is the new Chantilly Workshop on the Go card kit.  It has everything you need to make 15 birthday cards, perfect for anyone!  Are you excited yet?  Not only does it make 15 cards, but by adding card bases and one sheet of Kraft cardstock, I was able to make 15 more.  I love it!

Here's a sneak peek of one of the cards.

I love the colors and the fact that it isn't gender-specific.  I am always needing lots of birthday cards.

Snow--in Haiku

Oops--I didn't get on last night to post.  I've decided that Friday will be our poetry day at school, so I did have a little poetry to share from yesterday.  Literature classes yesterday wrote poetry about the novels they're reading.  I went a different route for mine (although I did write one on the book we're reading in class as an example).  I wrote a couple haiku on the snow.  One reflecting our snow day and the other reflecting the drive to school yesterday, although it wasn't too bad for us on our route.  Some students, however, were an hour late due to all the accidents on the interstate.

Snow in Haiku:

Snow, glimmering white

Falling softly, quietly

Through the cold window

Slick, icy black roads

Treacherous in the darkness

Praying for safety

Come back later today to see the 30 cards I made during our snow day.  I still need to take some photos.

A Snow Day Today

Yippee!!  We had a snow day today!  It was crazy weather: ice, wind, blowing snow.  We stayed inside where it was nice and warm.  The boys went out for a little while this afternoon, but not for long.  

I'm a little worried about tomorrow.  Though most of the snow has stopped, they are saying blowing snow and ice on the roads and a wind chill around zero tomorrow morning.  I can't see them closing school again, but it doesn't sound like the conditions will be fun for the drive or for getting students to Mass in the morning.  I guess we'll have to wait and see.  

Tales of the Snow Fort or Is It an Igloo?

I"ll apologize in advance for the poor photo quality.  It was dark out, but I had to get a few shots.  As I showed in my previous post, we got lots of snow Monday.  Monday night, the boys worked on building an igloo/snow fort (not sure which, since they kept calling it both.  Brendan gave up after an hour or so, but Austin stayed out until almost 8:00, when I forced him to come in.  

Day 1 photos:

I took this one from our upstairs window.

As soon as we got home from school, the boys got back to work.

They rushed home to work on it right after school today, but sadly, it warmed up today, and they're fort is about the only snow left.  It made me laugh.

This Just Makes Me Happy

As a lover of all things Disney, especially the movies and songs, I found this irresistible!  So fun (and funny).  You definitely want to watch all the way to the end--Beauty and the Beast and Little Mermaid are the best!
