The first picture is what we woke up to yesterday. Not much snow but so beautiful coating the trees.
My granddaughter broke her wrist in four places last week and had surgery Thursday. Still a lot of pain but doing okay. She was to start a new job on the day she had surgery!
I am signed up for my Covid shot February 19th at the local hospital. I am so happy to get it and look forward to going out again. I'll start slowly and work up to seeing the family after my second shot.
A dear friend sent me a wonderful gift and I wanted to thank her. I used some of my favorite pattern paper I've been hoarding (for a long, long time) and a Simon Says curvy die. I don't know how long you can hoard paper before it falls apart but this held up well.
So that catches you up!
Be kind to one another.

Oh no--credit card fraud & on your computer, Brenda?! So awful! Trust is pretty hard to come by for me these days. We hoped to get our vaccines soon, but then our state found out the reserves being released didn't exist. More lies, but that's become the norm. Your snow does make the world look beautiful & peaceful, so have to savor that. So, so sorry about your granddaughter. Hope she heals quickly. Love that SSS die which I never did end up buying & makes for a beautiful card with your printed paper! Sending long distance hugs which are still safe in spite of the pandemic!
Such a pretty scene but glad you did not have to go out in it. Do you have a scan for virus and malware on your computer? Your card is pretty too. I personally know you can have paper 20 years old and it has not deteriorated. Now that is a hoarder!LOL!. Good luck with your vaccine. We are getting ours on Feb. 5. So looking forward to traveling in a few months.
Your card is beautiful Brenda, I love the monochrome design. Your snowy photo is lovely too, we haven't had any snow so far this winter. Sorry to hear about the problems with your computer and with the credit card fraud. I had a fraudulent transaction on my bank account last Friday. I put something about it on my blog as it seems to be happening to a lot of crafters recently. I'm glad you've got a date for your vaccine injection. I think it will be a couple of months before I'm able to get mine. As we're still in lockdown, we can't go far anyway. Take care and stay safe. xx
I like the monochrome on this card. How is Daisy settling in with you. You don't mention her. I don't venture out at all apart for medical reasons. Hope we won't have to wait much longer to be called up for the vaccine. Hope you are safe and keeping well till you get yours. Hugs Mrs A.
What a serene looking snowy view Brenda! Scammers really annoy me, sadly it's happening more often too. Might still be worth scanning for malaware etc as someone else suggested, just to be safe. Hope your grandaughter recovers soon and that her new emplyer is understanding :) Wonderful card too, that is such pretty paper. Take care, Cathy x
Hi Brenda, a lovely snow scene, there is something about a snow day that makes the world feel so serene, no snow here, 28C a cloudless summers day. I have a prepaid card for certain websites due to my bank stopping my card for fraudulent transactions... Love the pretty paper and the die-cut edge. Have a wonderful week... Megan
Oh I love your snowy scene, I wish we would get a bit of that white stuff, just enough to whiten and brighten the world a bit (my part of the world that is!) and so glad you were able to make a card...my computer has a bad virus, so it is going into the shop for major work. I may be out of commission for a while! Heart Hugs, Col
So sorry to hear about your CC fraud, that happened to me before Christmas :( I must admit I can't imagine being without my computer these days and it's always a worry about opening something we shouldn't or downloading some thing.
I'm so glad you're up and running again so you could post this beautiful CAS card.
I'm sorry you've had pc issues along with cc fraud. It happened to me a couple years ago too after an online order. Glad you're able to get back online again too and make a very pretty card! Looks like the snow is a good reason to stay indoors and craft :) Have a good week ahead!
Sorry to hear about your computer problems! It’s very difficult to be without a computer for sure! And, credit card fraud, oh my! We have had our credit card number stolen at least three times, no fun! Happy to see that you were able to make a beautiful thank you card for your friend! Lovely photo of the snow! And, getting back to normal seeing friends and family sounds like a great thing all are looking forward to. But, in the meantime, take good care, hugs!!
I hope your luck turns, my friend. I'm glad your computer seems to be up and running again and hope you can get your credit card straightened out. I'm hoping you can hoard paper a long time because I have quite a lot of it. Your new die works beautifully with this piece for a thank you card. You have friends with good taste! Vaccines are really tangled up in NC. We're hoping to get one soon.
Brenda, can you run a check with your virus protection? You can always call them or chat with them on the computer and they can check things out for you as well. Check into this as you don't need anything or anyone ready to pounce! Bret just had the tv account hacked from Iraq. He went in and changed all his passwords and such. A pain, but necessary. I'm so sorry about your granddaughter, that just plain stinks! On the good news, she is young and hopefully will heal fast. I sure hope this doesn't give her issues down the road. Your wintery scene is beautiful and peaceful. Glad you didn't have to go out in it though. I love the snow.....from the inside of the house! lol Hate driving in it, well let me explain that, I don't mind driving in the snow, it is the other nuts out there that drive like the roads are clean and dry that I hate. Your card is so pretty Brenda! Love the paper and love that curvy die. Hope you can get your virus protection to run a full scan and hopefully all will be well. Hugs, Brenda
I feel so bad you had credit card fraud and also computer woes. That truly was a bummer! I am glad your computer is running again. So sorry your granddaughter had medical problems too. But lets hope from now on things will run more smoothly for you. Take care and stay well. I plan to get the shot as soon as I can but still we are encouraged to mask up when going out. I guess we can still get the virus but not as likely.
Well, geez, Louise, it looks like the L in your luck has been changed to an F! Wait. Was that out loud? I am sorry for all the crappy events and hope that each one is resolved and things stay quiet and boring, just the way we like it, for a very long time! Your card design is just lovely in monochrome with that sweet pp. I'm sure she loves it and I'm proud of you for using it! It will be cherished! Good luck to Lauren, and to you for getting your computer scanned for viruses, and thank you for the serene snow photo! Love you, Darnell
Dear Brenda, as you already know, computers are living their own life and are making us crazy. :-) I'm happy your computer works again. Thank you for the photo of your surrounding. It is real winter landscape. We have ust a little snow. Just to not forget how it look like. :-)
I like your card. Nice die cut border and gentle patterned paper. I don't think that paper has shelf date. :-)
Solution for covid problems is just around the corner. Stay safe!
Hugs, Sonja
A pretty card Brenda, a fabulous design.
Sorry to hear that you have been having a tough time lately, hopefully things are better now.
