It is here, ami. My parent's car has about 6 inches of snow on it. Wah!

But if I end up staying home tomorrow, I will have time to finish my last Secret. Yes, Ladies and Gentlemen, I may actually be done with my projects *before* the deadline this time. Wonders never cease!

YEAHHHhhhhhh cara. I understand. "Life just gets in the way of having pleasures sometime" , said the workaholic.
I live in sunshine, but can visit the snow..
This is one of my favorite local places in the world. This is the view from my front window in Idylwild CA. This is where the Family Bed and Breakfast for the Rainbow Retreat will be....soon as that Mega Million Super Lotto comes to me, or I retire. I took Sherrie up there on one of her visits. She screamed a bit going up the 23 mile winding mountain cliff roads. Once she saw the view, and the clouds, the blue sky, and the silence she knew. Once in the driveway she agreed it is my little bit of heaven, and the place my creative soul yearns to be. It's an hour and a half drive from this house, and I used to commute there Thursday nights and return Monday Am to work.

.. Even though she sees the magic there, she still hates California...She says I live in the Stepford community here in the corporate world of yuppies. Just because there is a beautiful fake man-made lake, and painted green lawns that are perfectly manicured I guess... Sherrie lives in the Garden State where the green comes from a lot of rain water, and it is absolutely beutiful. Our California water is piped in from Colorado...I have started my album pages, and the 2011 Raffle Thread is alive and online

It is one of the most beautiful places I have ever seen in my life! I have only been there once, but it is a place I miss as if it had been my home. I think I only screamed for the first 10 or 12 miles of direct assent......then I was numb from the breathtaking views and all I could say was OOOooooo, and AAAaaaaahhhhhhh. The most amazing thing about this snow covered mountain is that they keep it in the middle of the desert.....go figure

Love the stories and pictures! So beautiful!

Thanks for the address update. I thought I was going crazy! More so than normal that is...

[purepisces]

Just wanted to thank everyone for the beautiful heartless Valentine's! I loved them.

Who was the bookmark from? I didn't see a name on it, but it was great. Very Monty Python-ish!

Thank you Diva for the fun theme.

I really thought I was going to finish all of these last weekend, but I didn't even start! Not to worry Jennifer, I've made an "artist date" with myself for tomorrow. I'll have them in the mail on Monday.

Bookmark = LeftWriteFemme (at least that's what I'm guessing because it's so wonderfully HER)

When should these projects be postmarked by? I've been snowed in since Wed. night. I hope to get to the post office in Seattle tomorrow, though.

Hello all~

I haven't gone through and read the entire thread. I read the first post and was definitely interested though. I'm not where this thread has gone since then, but I love to cut, paste, glue, and glitter. So if there is room for more, whatever it is, then I'm game. If you'll have me.

Where do I start? What do I do? Who do I spank? (wait, wrong thread for that!)

New Project Needed.
Anyone have any ideas. Suggestions? Throw out there?

Here is one.
What does "Spring" mean to you?

Create something, anything and keep it within our standard mailing size limits.
List Deadline: March 5, 2011
Mailing Deadline: SPRING EQUINOX March 20, 7:21 P.M. EDT
The four seasons are determined by changing sunlight (not heat!)—which is determined by how our planet orbits the Sun and the tilt of its axis.

At the start of spring—the spring equinox—day and night are approximately 12 hours long and the Sun is at the midpoint of the sky. Our north pole tilts towards the Sun.
or Spring: Art Springs From

or : The Mattress Spring

okay..NEXT.

Spring ..melting snow..
