I feel sorry for the poor hummers who do winter here & I've been feeding my other birds like crazy. Today we got to 31 or so & the snow is starting to melt after 7 days! At least we don't have that terrible ice.Gretahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16725341449030070385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-709379730385988881.post-31893794586998992032013-12-09T13:59:44.551-08:002013-12-09T13:59:44.551-08:00That NBUS stuff is really coming in handy for QCAS...That NBUS stuff is really coming in handy for QCAS cards! Love this stripy star with the star center and that embossing folder is giving me embossing envy! 27° is COLD! We stayed at 34° all day yesterday with drizzle.

Brilliant take on the sketch and in dabbling with your NBUS! No worries about your 'cold' weather being not as cold as ours - it's all about perspective. Freezing there, or here, it's all the same: a shock to the system, as your trees have made clear! Poor dears; leaflessly naked! Hope the temps climb so they can feel less exposed! My 'coping' suggestions: Marks Work Warehouse T-Max socks (I wrote about them on my blog), and a big pot of steaming hot, spicy chili. You'll be toasty in no time (a down duvet helps, too!!), Hugs~c<br /> cmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03929147498832463255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-709379730385988881.post-88424802743612294322013-12-08T05:27:48.773-08:002013-12-08T05:27:48.773-08:00Ha ha!

And it turned out very modern & chic looking too. Interesting sketch & I loved your take on it. Enjoyed reading about your diminished temps...at least it ain't snow! I heard that 'round Santee they could see it up on the mtns. We're still with the drearies, altho we did have some bright sun this morning. It didn't linger. Thankfully, no ice or snow, and I'm saying some prayers for those who got hammered. Especially those who lost power & have no heat. So I'm off to enjoy some of your earlier posts, as I've been MIA.
