Hey Baby, It's Cold Outside!

      What? We are having January weather in November! It's all but snowed here! I can hardly believe how cold it is for this time of year! But then again, the whole country is being hit with the blast! At least it is supposed to warm up gradually through next week! I usually wear shorts and short sleeves on Thanksgiving Day! (But I am a little on the hot-natured side these days!) We'll see how it warms up by then!

      I am so happy to say that Winterlynn and Riley, along with Yasmine and Layla are coming in today! I wanted to get this post written now, or it would be next week before I could get to it! I have been preparing all kinds of coloring sheets and crafts to do with the girls while they are here! I guess that's the Kindergarten teacher coming out in me. I always enjoyed fun activities with the children in school! Have you ever heard of Dr. Jean? She is the greatest teacher I have ever seen! We did some of her silly songs, Yasmine and Layla, last week and they loved them! We will sing more this weekend too! I just shared something about myself with ya'll that you probably didn't know! What about that!

      My crafting mode has been bumped into high gear lately! I can't say that I've finished anything; just practicing and starting projects. I finally have most of the supplies I need to finish some things I've started. It is such a good feeling to know that I can just keep right on working and not have to stop because of not having the correct ingredients or supplies! There are so many projects being shared that I have a hard time choosing which ones I want to do! Jacky, at Dicky Bird's Nest is an awesome folk-crafter! Check out her blog: http://dickybirdsnest.blogspot.com/2014/11/30-days-of-repurposing-projects-day-12.html There, I hope it works!

      I hope ya'll stay warm and cozy this weekend! Thanks for reading! Blessings from Bama!

What a face! I sure have missed it!

I've missed this sweet face too!

Talk about some good bacon, yum!

I traced the shapes onto the wood and started cutting them out. It's too cold to go out now and finish!

A Panera Bread knock-off, Autumn Squash soup.

The tags are finished with their staining process. I just need to get started decorating them!

Black bean soup cooked entirely in the pressure cooker.

A few color sheets and projects I want the girls to do.

Skylar got me this orchid last year for Christmas. It's about to bloom again!

Sweet Riley with 'Dandy'! She had to sit in his lap the whole time she opened her presents!
