It's Saturday morning and it's snowing.......finally! I love a little snow and we haven't had ANY this winter.
It's still coming down, we may end up with 4 or 5 inches, not a lot but enough to make it look pretty. Everyone here has headed out early to shovel, clear and plow, so I'm here by myself with about a hundred things I want to accomplish today. It's a family tradition to bake what we've affectionately called "Cara's Snow Cake" on days when it snows. It started when my daughter Caroline was little, she would bake a cake and have it all decorated and waiting for her Dad and brothers when they came back from shoveling and plowing. Now, a bit older, she doesn't want to miss out on all the fun they have, so I'll bake the cake today. And because we're getting together with all the cousins, aunts and uncles for a family game night tonight (teams, very competitive...lots of laughs!!), I'll be making a double batch of Toll House cookies! Yum!
Not to mention getting into my craft room!! I'll be working on some hearts for Danielle's Victorian Valentine fabric heart swap.....and working along on Jeanne Oliver's Creatively Made ecourse! This online class has been fantastic...four very creative weeks!! It seems I've noticed quite a bit more creative energy this new year then in the past few years, everyone seems really ready to embrace the new year more creatively.
I was also delighted to pass along some vintage bird seed boxes to my friend Karla for her Birdsong Two event. Pop over to her blog and check out this event!
Well, if I'm going to make the most of this day.......better get my apron on and find my Ipod!
Here's to a creative 2012!
