Brrrrrr someone turn the heat up !!!!!

If my typing goes wonky it's coz my fingers are frozen and im shivering....brrrrrr...teeth chattering....
It's been so cold here yesterday and today, i have hardly left the house. Im officially a hermit. A frozen hermit.
Sam however, has found a way to keep cosy and warm in the afternoon when it gets EVEN COLDER ...yes...even colder !


He pops a dvd on, turns mummy and daddys electric blankets on and hops on into their bed in the warmth (usually with at least 2 pussy cats in tow)!
Not so silly are they?
(sorry the pics are blurry..the little rat kept moving.)

Me.....well i still suffer for my art...Ok everybody say AWWWWWWWW.... LOL.
Yep im still sittin up late in the cold family room painting and creating away.
Im so cold ....but i just cant help it !



Ive even managed to list them all on Ebay now, even with my frozen fingers! :)
i think the temperature has dropped even more while ive been typing!

Tomorrow Sam starts his new Preschool and if its still snowing up the mountains we are going to drive up there when i pick him up from preschool...oh boy oh boy am i crazy??!!!!!!!! What am i thinking????!!!!!!!

Ok im off now to make a mug of hot chocolate and i think i'll get under the covers with Sam and the cats!


Love and Blue Kisses today coz my lips are frozen !

*grin*

Hi Shannon, the new goodies look great. I know what you mean about it being so cold - it was 7 degrees here over the weekend. Good luck to Sam for tomorrow too. Kathryn.

Hi Shannon, your new creations are wonderful, the cold must have given you that extra bit of creative cupcakeness! New word, don't you love it, the cold is having the opposite effect on me, no creations happening here my brain is frozen. Hope your evening is a little cozier snuggled with your honeys! Kiss noises Linda Lilly Cottage.

It was around 100 degrees here just a couple of days ago, so we are having the opposite! I could have used a bit of that chill; it was SO hot!! So I stayed INSIDE to keep cool in the A/C!!
Little Sam looks so snuggly; makes me miss my guys' little boy days.... But they are fun now too!

Love all your new creations Shann.
Boy those polka dots must be contagious...I've just used them in my Christmas Collection too. Perhaps it has more to do with the 'tried and true' theory or the 'everything old is new again' one - whatever, they work!!
Stay warm.
Hugs,
Kerryanne

Beautiful creations, sweet lady! Wish I could send you some of this Georgia heat and humidity. But, I am sure that it is much for fun to snuggle with cute Sam and the kittys!

Dear Shannon,
Everything you create is awesome!

I would love to trade the weather here for your weather. I hate summer heat and can hardly wait for fall and winter to hurry up and get here (our winter is COLD but I like it because Im part eskimo :) :)

Hugs
Candy

Hi Shann,
It's hard to imagine how cold it is there because it is so hot and humid here in Ohio. When it's cold, though don't you just love to nest, i.e. bake, cook great meals, paint, just be in and cozy. Ooh I miss that. Sam looks very cozy.

Hugs,
LeAnn:)

Hi Shann,
It's hard to imagine it so cold right now - it actually sounds kind of good - but I have to remind myself how it feels, layers and layers of clothes. Here you go ~ some warm California sunshine just for you and for Sam (even though he seems to have the right idea with the kitties too!). Now, have a cup of chocolate for me too, please - Yum!
Have fun in the snow - don't freeze sweetie. Cold or not, you still have the warmest attitude around ;)
xoxo~Tracie
