-35 Wind chill

is very, very cold! Minnesota is -65. It's hard to imagine that kind of cold. Most things are closed, including the Universities. I worked at a University for 35 years and it only closed twice in that time so this is big. Suppose to be 55 by Sunday. Isn't that nuts!

This is a card we made at SU class. I made four of them and only changed the twine around. My bronchitis has come back and while I feel okay other than the cough, I haven't had any energy so I haven't been making any cards. The cough seems to hang on and it just knocks me out when it happens. This seems to be going around here so I'm just staying in and keeping warm. All products are Stampin Up.






Be kind to one another.

I do hope you feel better soon, Brenda. Keep warm! A beautiful set of cards, I love the pink and kraft combination x

Four beautiful cards, Brenda. I love their gorgeous simple design.
Take care of yourself, my friend, stay at home and keep warm. The temperature -65 sound imcredible for me, as in Greece the average temperature during winter is around 10-15 Celsium degrees.
Kisses, my friend.

I love how a simple element like twine can change up a card with just a simple little twist of how it's added! These are great cards! Sorry about the bronchitis, but this is the typical weather for it to rear it's ugly head. Stay indoors where it's warm and take care of yourself!

Oh Brenda, I hate to hear that you are sick again! Do you put a scarf over your nose and mouth when you go out?? If not, start doing that, maybe it can help not take that cold air down your chest. Yes, it is cold here too and supposed to be in the 50's come Sunday and maybe 60 on day next week. How does this work?!!! lol Stay warm my friend and get well soon!!! Hugs, Brenda

Your cards are so very gorgeous and well designed. So sorry you are under the weather again and hope you feel better soon. Rest and take it easy until that time. Our temps are warming up with a south wind and snowfall. Maybe we will get above zero today.

I watched on TV, that you have very low temperatures. I can not imagine this. We have so around 0 Celsius and is cold enough.
I like your cards. They are so cute in soft colors.
Feel better soon!
Hugs, Sonja

Beautiful set of cards Brenda! Love how you've changed up the layout to make them each unique.

Sorry to hear you aren't well. Broncitis is nasty. Take good care of yourself. Stay warm and get lots of rest and hope you are feeling better soon. xx

What sweet cards, Brenda--love the bit of burlap! So sorry you've got bronchitis & hope you've soon got your strength back! I honestly cannot imagine your temps!

It must feel like the middle of summer there now compared to last week! Well, not really, but things and people must be happy to be thawed out a bit! I am praying that by now the meds have helped the bronchitis and even your cough has settled down a bit. I hate to think you'll have it for six weeks. :( I love your Fourfer today! Just look how only changing out the twine makes four completely different looks!! Hugs, Darnell xxoo
