Snowstorm Coming, An Old Favorite and Some Comfort Food for a Winter Night

Hello,

Well, our first big snowstorm is forecast for tonight through the weekend for this part of WI so I have been running around to appointments and grocery shopping, some Christmas shopping, picking up my library books, etc. I had my car in to the garage this morning to have it winterized - oil change, check all the fluids, replace a windshield wiper, etc. - and Jim filled the gas tank for me on Tuesday so I should be fine.

I am sure that after the snowfall it will be beautiful and white all around - but I am not looking forward to having to clean the car off numerous times, move it out of the parking lot, move it back and getting out my boots and hat. I did have to scrape the windows this morning as there was lots of that ice/frost on the car all around. A hint of what's to come I guess!

I have not had time to create anything today so I am posting a photo of one of my favorite Christmas cards that I sent I think in 2008 - the SU set is retired long ago. I love the blue color and the detail and the image was really cute. I have a grand total of zero - zilch - not one Christmas card made to send this year! So bad! :<) Maybe being snowbound in the house for a couple of days will get me inspired to get busy, but . . . . . .

if not - I made a huge pot of my favorite comfort food - goulash - and I will enjoy eating that and reading my new library books! :<) I have already eaten two plates of this - it tastes wonderful! I love it! So yummy!

Thanks for stopping by today!

Wishing you a safe, warm and happy weekend!

Well I hope your snow storm isn't anything like the one they got in Buffalo NY. It is pretty when everything is covered with a blanket of white and I wouldn't mind winter so much if I could stay inside and just watch it through my window. Going out in it, shoveling, brushing off cars and driving is what I really hate.
Very nice card.

Aloha Barbara, You sound like you're good and ready for the snow storm. I would not know what to do since I've lived in Hawaii all my adult life. I hear all the "extra" things my BF and SIL have to do getting ready for winter. Seasons come and go and things are still the same, maybe I might change the tablecloth and bring out the Holiday decor, but that's about it.
Anyway, I love your card from before, I think it's very wintery and your goulash looks yummy! TFS

Hello Barbara

I do hope you are keeping safe and warm!

I have never seen snow, but I think even though it must look very beautiful and magical the cold and the wet would get to me pretty quickly.

I love the card you are sharing today, such a lovely shade of blue, my son's favourite actually. The jumper image is great and I love the added texture you have created.

stay safe.
