Snapshot Sunday ...

... well what a difference a week makes!

This time last week the temperature was barely above zero degrees and the sleet/snow/hail and wind was coming in sideways!
Today we had mostly clear blue skies and a gorgeous day where the temperature reached about 16 degrees!

So here is a Snap for Sunday ...

... Emma and her mini snowman she created on the picnic table outside on Monday afternoon ...



And the news of the weekend ... I have a gorgeous new niece! Wee Harriet was born in Melbourne, Australia this morning to my brother and his wife. Big sister Stella is very excited about the new arrival too! At times like this it is hard living far away from them, but thanks to the wonders of modern technology we will be using Skype alot in the coming weeks and months watching this wee tot grow. I hope to get over there to give her real cuddles early next year all going well!

I have just spent the weekend scrapping ... spread all over the kitchen table - hehe! Yes I have an area in the spare room upstairs but it's alot colder up there in winter. And I also like scrapping in the living area, closer to what is going with everyone else in the house. Today I had a wee scrap buddy - Emma wheeled out her craft trolley and her supplies (my old papers and stickers). She made a card to welcome the new baby and had a great time picking through all my scrap gear asking if she could add bits and pieces to her creation!

So I was actually quite productive ... 4 layouts, 3 cards and 3 tags ... you will have to wait to see these ... well the layouts anyway ... hehehe ... secret squirrel stuff here! ;) But lets just say I am on a mission, fingers crossed!

Right ... off now to cross some more jobs off my 'to do' list ... have an exciting week ahead ... tell you more later!
