Joe, Peter, Georgia, Angel Alie and I would like to wish you all a wonderful morning. I don’t know what is like by you qw got close 16 inches and it is 5 degrees out there this morning. No matter where you are I hope you are staying warm and safe. I was out the other day right after the snow and for the first time in a very long time my heart was a bit warmed as I saw people on the blocks kids playing together and other neighbors helping other neighbors with the snow removal and more. Like a page out of a Norman Rockwell book. How I wish it could stay that way. If any of you here are from the Minneapolis Area our heart… thoughts and prayers are with you all and to all the families that are being affected by this horror. Please please stay safe!!! Can’t wait to see what you have been up to this week! Sending hugs to all

Happy Friday, Andrea! Thanks so much for including us in this fun set of features! We always appreciate you and this link up! It is always so heartwarming to see people come together and this winter weather has brought lots of opportunities to do so! Thank you for thinking of our state – we live in the outer suburbs of Minneapolis and we are so sad to see what is happening. On a positive note, there have been so many instances of people pulling together, being resilient and showing up for each other. Have a great weekend!
Hi Laura! Your state is heavy on my heart and is this whole horrific situation. I see how people are coming together during this and it does warm my heart. We nee MORE of it on a daily basis each and every day! Maybe somehow we will get out of this ????????????????????????? Something everyone has to remember… people are people and deserve to be treated as such! Thank you for being such a kind heart!!!! Stay strong! Sending hugs and have a nice day my friend!
Thank you so much for featuring my tussie mussie! I appreciate that so much! We got about 8 or 9 inches of snow,and I agree that it’s so nice to see people enjoying it and helping each other!

Thank you for featuring my Mardi Gras King Cake Cinnamon Sugar Cookies. And, yes, they’re more time consuming to make than the actual big King Cakes (which I posted today)! ** North of Dallas we had about 5-6″ of snow, but it was the 1/2″ of ice beneath everything that was bad. In fact, it’s getting into the 40s-50s during the sunny days now, but high teens at night, so whatever is still there freezes back up again until about noon. Strangely, our side of the street has perfectly dry driveway & walks (and only snow in flower beds), but the other side of the street still has snow & ice on their driveways & lawns! ** You will appreciate this … When I was little, we lived north of Chicago (until I was 12) where we’d get LOTS of snow. My job in the winter was to shovel a walk in the backyard for Twig, my wire-haired dachshund, to go out. He hated it and I remember the snow would be about twice as high as he was tall when he went into the corridor that I’d shoveled! ** Stay safe & warm and I’ll catch y’all again next week.
Thanks so much for hosting this link party every Monday. The news is filled with so many terrible situations that good people are fighting to make better. My prayers go out to them. thanks so much much for the feature for the bookcase styling. It’s always a pleasure to create a new look for an old space. Wishing you a wonderful week.
