I have some bad news...

I just wanted all of your to know that I have reached a decision about my 2nd Hands Collection Blog Party...

I have found out this weekend that Mr Linky is now charginga fee to have a linky on your blog...

it would be worth it if...

1. I did a party that happened every week, not just one day a month...

2. I had more of a following that did the party...so far the highest number has been 10...

so after a lot of thought, and prayer...

I am ending the blog party...

I want to thank everyone who took the time to party with me and to everyone who visited and left comments on the great collections that have been posted...

I do want to do a blog party...

and I have been thinking on this long and hard...

I want one that is spiritual, uplifting, supportive, and positive...

and I am not sure when it will happen...

but it will...

thank you so much for supporting me and the blog party...

Hugs to you- Tete

antiqued photos...

been playing around...

with some of the photos that were really dark...

and this is what happened...

we have so many photos of this month already...

and I don't think it's close to being over yet...

but it is another good reason to eat all that chocolate that better be coming my way next weekend...

a major HINT to my guys...

keep the diamonds, the furs and perfume...

chocolate is the only thing that's going to make this better...

so, what are you wanting for valentine's?...

if you need something to do...

here are 3 more valentine images to play with...

I thought those of you who are snowed in or about to be might be bored...

this weekend would be a great time to make valentines...

the snow finally stopped and we got 6 inches more...

at least it's not 60 inches like some got...

poor Rebecca is trying to blog and got a couple posts up...

using her new iPad and her camera through her mom's computer...

it's been a challenge...

I went in and got her valentine background up for her...

for Ella Mae's Barn Gathering...

even made her a new header...

 Ann- got my greeting card book today but it smells so bad...

musty...

going to zip lock bag it with febreeze for a few days and then see...

it is in great condition otherwise...

will probably have to wash it down, too...

I can't wait to read it!

around town this morning in all the snow that just "happened"...

our road...

out on the Ashmore Road...

heading toward the square...

looking down Main Street to the east from the square corner...

the lion is a drinking fountain put up by the Lion's Club years ago...

the center of the square...

looking north on Pike Street...

right in front of Kyle's store...

Pike is the east side of the square...

looking off of Pike at the Methodist Church...

it's on the left, but hard to see...

in town driving...

limb down in front of the Magruger house...

Main Street west of the square...

not sure where this is, but it's in town...

going off of Main heading north...

our city park by the schools and lake...

more park...

just coming out of the park...

heading south on Logan...

past the stop sign and the high school is on the left, but you can't see it...

and back home again on the Ashmore Road...

the street sign is our street and past that, you're out in the country...

this road leads to Rebecca...

but not today...

I talked to her just an hour ago and she is going to try to make it home tonight...

she's homesick and they still don't have power...

they have a different company than we do...

and she told me it may be the middle of the week before they get it back...

DH just checked outside again and it is finally letting up...

we have 5 inches so far...

advisory extended until 3pm...

we aren't going anywhere today...

he is going to do our Walmart run tomorrow...

before the next batch comes in!

well, we have one week down in February...

only 3 more to go...

just glad we don't have any wind!

all of you east of here, get stocked up now...

I have no idea where you are going to put this crap...

where do they plow it all to?

we have a place just off of the square that they put it all at...

we haven't even seen our plow today...

which is so unreal...

I'm sure they are just trying to keep the square open and the path to the grocery store...

DH said last night that the 3 inches of ice we have under this is so hard...

he can drive on it and not put a dint in it...

he said it is going to take a long time to thaw...

for me...

it's another day of blogging, bingo and beddy bye time...

have a good one!

making the best of it...

What we woke to this morning...

so much for the forecast of a dusting...

there is a field behind there...

this is a white out...

without any wind...

can you find the bunny?...

look by the fence...

oops, there he is again...

it is still snowing like crazy!

from a dusting to up to 4 inches of snow this morning before noon...

it was still dark enough the flash was going off...

capturing the snow flakes as  they came down...

our security light is still on...

it is a very wet snow, so Robbie had to wear his coat...

but it was hard to get him to stand still...

see- he is catching snowflakes on his tongue...

this may bring down some more limbs...

it's wet and heavy on top of the ice...

I think I will wait a little longer before I sit out here...

so...

did you wake to any surprises this morning?...

everyone east of Illinois...

heads up...

coming your way...

you know how I love to share...

bwahahahaha!
