S is for...

SNOW!
We're not the east coast, but West MI is certainly are making up for a barely white December.  

Don't those lanterns just pop against the black and white backdrop?

S...is also for very SPECIAL Valentine gifts and SPECIAL friends!!

Have you ever seen a more sweet little monkey?  Even the ruffles underneath her skirt are precious!

 Viv you are so darn talented!!

Your dimensional hearts add the perfect touch along the roof line of my dollhouse!

I also won all sorts of Valentine treasures from Gayle at Garden of Daisies 


This darling blue gingham dress is going to be included in my craft room doll dress window valance.

The girls also appreciated their own boxes of chocolates.

I had no idea just how many treasures she tucked into my heart box.

Crafting projects await on Saturday! Viv and Gayle ...you spoil me so!!  Happy Friday!

    Love the pictures of the lanterns in the snow... so pretty. Its snowing pretty good here right now. were supposed to get up to 14 inches along lake ontario.. which is where i live. I took the day off. though, I have to admit Im sure I could have made it to work just fine. Glad you like that funny little monkey. I made her and knew she had to go live with someone that would appreciate her quirkiness!
    Im going to try to stay away from the computer today.. It eats so much of my time up! I'll try to only pop in for a few minutes at time... lol.. wish me luck on that!
    enjoy your snow day!
    xoxo

    Wow! That's a ton of snow. We had rain today and almost all the snow is gone. I'm thinking someone might have to shovel off the ice rink now.

    Oh my gosh Kim, I absolutely LOVE all your treasures. Talk about eye candy!! We got snow too, nine inches. It's about time, here in Wisconsin it's usually so much more. This was really our first real snowfall. An inch or two a couple times before. I guess I am just not far enough up north in Wisconsin to get those famous snowfalls. It's so pretty, I'll have to post some pics! Take care and build a snowman, I'm going to tomorrow with the grandkids.
    Hugs,
    Julie
