Winter Storm warning for our area. This is our accumulation after only 40 minutes. Sigh. I'm ready for SPRING!

Valentine's Day at Our House
On Valentine's Day morning, the kids found their Valentines and gifts waiting for them before school.
DD got the DVD edition of Beauty and the Beast. (or as she used to say: Judy and the Beast)
DS asked for Miracle, a hockey movie, of course. ;0)
After school, we had dinner together. We had Spaghetti with Meat Sauce, Veal Parmesan, Salad and Garlic Toast. The flowers on the table were my gift from dh.

We each had a German Chocolate cupcake for dessert. DD and I made them together.

Some new treasures...
At the end of January, I hosted a Celebrating Home Party. For being a hostess, I recieved 250 dollars in free merchandise and 7 or 8 half off items. It was time to shop for the new house! As you can see above, dd was in love with the packaging and despite having a temp of 100.8, she made the box into a car and is still playing with it 2 days later. Here are some of the things I bought...
This is the Versatile Wall Decor, which can be hung vertically or horizontally. It needs candles, but I haven't gotten that far yet. It hangs above our bed.
These are two prints I bought for dd's bathroom. A coordinating one hangs on the opposite wall. I love the glass mats because it allows it to match with your bathroom colors.
I picked this foyer table as one of my freebies. I still have to arrange the shelves, but LOVE it!
These are the Berry Canisters to add some color to our kitchen. 
This is the matching dip chiller. It has a compartment under the serving part to hold ice and keep dips cold. Love that idea for the summer months.
This is a candle holder...love the color of the metal.
This is my future photo gallery. I read somewhere to hang paper the size of the photos on the wall to get an idea of what it will look like when you actually hang the frames. I like the way it looks and will probably hang the photos sometime this week.
Thanks for stopping by!
Peace and blessings,

Spring is coming....
...and that means it will be time to garden. I have a blank slate here, and think our blue house would be a great backdrop for a cottage style garden. It will definitely take a lot of work to achieve anything like the photos above, but I'm patient and am willing to make it happen.
peace and blessings,
