Flutter of Happiness


Hello!  

Happy Wednesday!

It's cold and snowy here in Cary, NC!  Looks like we have maybe two inches on the ground.  It's been snowing and flurrying all afternoon.  This is round three I think for Central NC for "snow" storms this winter. Normally we have maybe one snow "event".  Not really events since they're never more than an inch but makes for messy roads.  It is the south so ya know - southerners "don't do snow".  hahaha We northern transplants just take it in stride.  The hubs always wishes for one good 6-12 inch storm.  Last time we got near that here was maybe 2018.  There's more snow to the north of us and ice to the south and east of us.  I'm hoping the ice misses us.  I had to pack the Hubs up yesterday with sleeping bag, suitcase and snacks since he has to work the next three nights. He's from Michigan so he doesn't mind driving in snow but ice is a different thing(particularly here). He also didn't want to have to skimp on sleep. So, he's camping out at the hospital the next couple days.  It's not the first time in 28 years that he's camped out at the hospital for work during storms. Pre-NC days when we lived in WV, it was almost a given every winter.  Quite frankly, I'm happy to be more south!




So I'm snowbound at home, not that I'm complaining.  Made a pot of chili and been chillin' myself with a little self-care and crafting.  My card here I finished last week but just haven't had a chance to share it.  I love this layered floral stencil, Nature's Frame, by Spellbinders.  Makes for an easy border and card.  It was January's Stencil of the Month.  The sentiment is from the Nature's Dance Stamp of the Month set for January also.  I added a trio of red and gold butterfly dies from my stash to complete the fun.  I'm sharing this at the monthly Triple B Challenge (Birds, Butterflies and Blooms).

I think the table has the most snow. HaHaHa. My froggies aren't thrilled.
