What a great day

Yesterday was really a fantastic day. It was our fourth wedding anniversary. We follow the "traditional" gift list, so Dave bought me the K&Company Paper flower kit I have been wanting. Aren't they beautiful? I put old pearl and rhinestone buttons in the centers and I can't wait to turn them all into a paper flower wreath.

And we had a tiny bit of snow, which Jack and I watched fall together out the front door. He told me that he wants "it to make big piles, so he can fall down in it." Too bad we didn't get big piles, but we will, give it time. I heard him yelling in his room this morning that "it snowed! I'm happy now." Man, I love that kid.
(More flowers, this time made from fabric hearts that I sewed to vellum to make a card for Dave.)

To top it off, I woke up to a bit of a flurry of unexpected blog comments and emails about the button tree . Imagine my surprise to see it featured on Whip up ! Oh man, did I ever squeal with delight over that. Do go check it out, there are some fantastic holiday ideas over there.

I guess I had better go get something accomplished now, eh? Christmas is picking up speed and I am starting to feel underprepared. Happy Friday everyone.
