Hi Andrea! It’s finally going to start warming up in FL this weekend. We aren’t used to nighttime temps in the 30’s. I know Northeners don’t feel a bit sorry for us! Please stay safe and warm! Thanks for including me in your features this week! I am so grateful! Have a great weekend!
Hey there Donna! So glad that Florida is going to get a break! When you are not use to it it is brutal! I have to say… the temps and the chill factors are even much for us Northerners! I just worry about all the animals and people that can’t get to warmth. I wonderful how bad the citrus crops got hit in Florida? Orange Juice is going to be 20 dollars a pint! Stay warm and keep creating! Sending hugs and have a great week!
Thank you for featuring my Valentine Heart Peppermint Patty Candy! We had about 6″ of snow in North Texas, but it was over at least 1/2″ of ice and the ice is the real problem (well, another problem is that we don’t have snow plows and we’re closer to Oklahoma than actual Dallas, so everything pretty much shuts down when you can’t even see the curbs!). After a few days, it got to the 40s, but back to 20s at night, so whatever melted turned to ice again, and it all lasted a week or so. Then just as fast, it warmed up so we’re in the 70s and even 80s predicted for next week! My daffodils are coming up and I’m so ready for Spring! ** Catch y’all again next week!
Hi there Cindy! I can’t believe you had that snow and now the daffodils are popping up lol!!! Up here in the Northern side of the country we wan Spring too. I am looking out my window right now thinking of all the animals and people out there in -2 degrees. I am ready for Spring too!!! I am sure when the Easter Season starts you are going to be super busy! Well enjoy those 90 degree days… we won’t be seeing them until June lol!!! Sending wishes for a wonderful day and tons of hugs!
I am so looking forward to some warmer weather. It hasn’t been as bad here as in some parts of the north and west but cold enough to make an impression. Hope everyone stays safe in this frigid weather. Thanks so much for the feature for the upscaled boo art. It was quite fun to do and not nearly as hard as it looks. An added plus is being able to share it here with everyone. Thanks for hosting every week, Andrea, it is very much appreciated.
Lynne, Thrifting Wonderland
Hi there! So glad you are not in the deep freeze! Actually here in NEW Jersey we are having a heat wave… temps in the 20’s and going up!!! I hope everyone stays warm too.

Love your Boo At abd it sure does look like you had fun doing it which makes it even beter! Sending hugs and wishes for a wonderful day!!!
