This cold, cold weather just makes you want to stay under your comfy quilts and comforters, doesn't it? We've had snow, after snow...more expected Thursday night. School closings, temps at near zero. That's what it has been like here and by many of you, I'm sure. February is off to a snowy start! Never fear..I'm sure the Easter bunnies will soon be here! Something to look forward to--Spring!
Yesterday was my son's 16th birthday! Can't believe he is 16 already. Feels like yesterday he would beckon me to a chair and say "EESH!" which meant "SIT!" or ask for candy "tintin" he would call it.
I am happy I wrote down both Billy's and Caitlin's baby vocabulary. It's something you would forget if you didn't. Both Billy and Caitlin said the word cat as "da". We knew what they were saying!
I also got a gift yesterday. It was in the mail and it wasn't even my birthday! I won the calendar giveaway from Viv from Viv Out on A Whim (check the sidebar). She had a calendar created of all her favorite things in her home. Crafts she makes, decorations around her home, holidays, her beautiful cats, etc. I love it! What a special gift that I will be saving long after 2015 is over!
I'm still having fun making my bird crafts. This was a match holder I had. Seems like a little bird has decided to make it his home.
I'm doing some St. Patrick's Day crafts too. Gotta keep looking forward! Stay warm!
Birthday blessings to your handsome son! It does go by so fast. Viv's calendar is such a special keepsake. Stay cozy! We've got loads of snow and cold temps in our forecast too!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to your handsome son! I have four sons and know how fast they grow...and how much they eat! lol Looks like he had a yummy cake. Love your new calendar, too. What fun to have for the year ahead. Enjoy your week my friend. Stay warm....or come down here to visit! Hugs, Diane
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love that calendar...I wonder where she had it printed. Your bird on the matchholder is adorable. I never thought I collected birds until I looked around my home and found dozens of bird-related decor. They just make me so happy. I also hope your sweet son had a wonderful birthday!
ReplyDeleteLOL!! I totally forgot about sending you the calender! wow.. you just received that? I feel like I mailed it weeks ago.. but thats probably because I carried it around in my car ready to be mailed for weeks before I remembered to stop at the PO to mail it! LOL! Im glad you like it. Your birdnest match box is adorable Maggie, what a cute idea!
ReplyDeletewell, I'm off to feed my kittens and parrot.. then off to work I go. TGIF!!
xoxo
Viv, the bags and baskets go to a local church for distribution.
