Rejoicing That I Have Electricity and Heat!


For today's SCS Color Challenge 197:
Baja Breeze
Basic Grey
Kiwi Kiss
Not Quite Navy

I love this color combination.
My stamps are from a new December release by Our Daily Bread designs called Worship the Lord. The piercing in the corner was done with an Ornare piercing template, also available at ODBD.

I am rejoicing that I have electricity and heat -- I know it's cold a lot of places around the country and some are without power and frozen pipes. It's warmed up from -28 wind chill to just -9 with a 7 degree temp. We've havin' a heat wave!!!

Only two more days and my son will be home from college (UNCG) for the holidays! We are very excited here; more than he is right now! He just called me to tell me he finished his last exam today and was wearing SHORTS. I said, "Ummmm......it's 7 degrees here........" Total silence. Good thing I already bought his plane ticket or I think he wouldn't come at all!

Thanks for stopping by today!

  1. That is such an elegant card. I love the punched corners and the little row of bling, and the ribbon.
    I saw in the paper about the power outages in parts of the States - no fun at this time of year. And I obviously don't know much about Nebraska because I didn't realise it got that cold there. It's been about 32F here for a week, just got milder again. I shouldn't complain!
    Have a wonderful family holiday together.

    So glad you have power and heat once again. I'm sure there are plenty of broken pipes in the affected areas.
