Ice Storm 2009

The ice storm swept through Arkansas these past few days and I am so thankful that it wasn't as severe for us as it was in 2000. School was closed yesterday, but back on for today. We didn't lose any power here in Charleston, but I can't say the same for those in Ft. Smith and many other cities in Arkansas. I pray that they can restore power quickly to those thousands of families without it.
Brad was driving home from town the other night and I am so grateful he had his window rolled up. He said he was driving down our road to come home and all of a sudden a huge icicle fell and crashed against the window (lucky it didn't break the window either). I don't even want to think about what would have happened if he had his window down (though it is only 20 degrees, so the odds of his window being down were nil).




----------------------------------------------------------------

While we were pretty much stuck home in this storm I did a little scrapping and altering. It felt great to scrap some photos again. Now I need to order some more since these will be all scrapped rather quickly. haha.......

I altered this box at the request of my MIL who wanted me to make her something to put my cards in at the store she works at. So I altered this box using things from my stash. Can anyone guess what the box use to be?


I made this layout using a sketch from 52 sketches 52 weeks. I used the Aug. '08 Paper Posies kit and some things from my stash to put it together.


Then last here are a few cards I have put together as well. The first card uses the TSR Oct. '08 Basic Grey Offbeat kit and some things from my stash, it is also my own design. The second card uses the Unity "Two People Fell in Love" stamps and things from my stash and I used a sketch from the CSAD blog.



Smiles,
Angela
