snow snow snow....blizzards too...

This photo is from last Saturday, lol!! They said we had around 35 inchs in the end. And now, right now, we are getting about 10 more! The girls & LaVaughn have been out from work & school since last Friday. The girls will be out of school for the rest of the week-sigh!!

 Me & Amira on Monday...she popped into my photo with a smile-that made me smile.

this is the typical "teen" look I get from her.

First few photos since the girls turned 13 & 7 yrs old....

no LaVaughn's not breaking in...just had to shovel the knee deep snow off the deck!! And the girls were talking about allowances & chores!! It cause an reaction out of daddy!!!

Some extra JBS Mercantile projects that will be up in the gallery soon. My desk in a mess with new MM Love Struck!! It's hard to scrap with everybody home, argh!!!

I love when you show pics of yourself and your home! That smoothie idea and the sauce idea sound wonderful! I need to try them. Gotta get the family more healthy somehow!

I got a Kindle for Christmas, too, and I really love it. I would advise that you get her a protective cover for it, though. I was really afraid of damaging my screen. Amazon sells a variety of different ones. I got a cute red leather one. Happy birthday to your girlies!

I almost bought the kindle for my son for Christmas BUT I love the book store just as much as he does, like to smell the pages of the book, like to see it sitting in my purse, like to see him carry them every time we go on a car ride!!! I have had that smoothie idea for quite some time, yet to act on it, looks YUMMY. Trying to convice hubby of the pizza idea, I picture mine with zucchini, tomatos, mushrooms and lots of cheese. I will definately be making the sauce, Im sure that will win him over. What do use for your crust? Last thing didnt mean to write a book LOL I luv that you have lived so many awesome places, how exciting!! Maybe I should have let my then boyfriend, now hubby enlist:) Happy Birthday to the girls!!

For the pizza crust I use Pillsbury thin crust from the dairy section. I am thinking of making it myself-I just hate that means more work, lol!!

I love your shirt, Keisha! Is that J. Crew? I remember adding that to my cart at one point :) Can you share your smoothie recipe with us? It looks delicious!

LOL, Heather that is a JCrew tee!! I scored it at the store-last one. I lost it in my online cart. I will post that smoothie recipe soon. I'll take photos of what I use.

I couldn't help but notice your shirt. Are those fabric flowers? Too cute and your smoothie pic has me wanting one now. The jewelry holder looks like a perfect gift for myself but also for a gift to my SIL for either Chrismas or her birthday this year.

It has some painted flowers & some fabric too-it's my fave tee.

Love the pizza and smoothie photos. Have you tried Dannon's All Natural yogurt? We switched to that in our smoothies, because Yoplait is full of HFCS. It's so good, without the worries. Love the jewelry holder. You have such impeccable taste.

Hi Margie...you got my hubby wondering about that. Now I went organic, lol!! Thanks;-)

I love all your pics and projects Keisha!! Funny, your kitchen looks just like mine...the exact cabinets, same layout, my counters are gray but a little different, LOL.
You guys are getting killed with snow. I'm in Chicago and I swear you have gotten more than us :)
And thanks for all the inspiration...I have a LO that was missing something and your projects gave me some ideas!! Thanks for sharing!!

Yep my boys are loving being out of school all week. And to think that they only went to school two days last week and are out on Monday too! WOW! If we had know we were going to get slammed and have an 1 1/2 weeks out of school and work we would have gone on a mini-vaca somewhere warm. We lost power for awhile but not long. Hope you guys made out o.k -- and have had some good quality family time.

I took lots of snow pics and just started scrapping my Dec 18 2009 snow photos. I will not get the 2010 snow storms scrapped for a few weeks. You are too fast for me. Impressive.

Thanks for sharing!

You are a true artist Keisha!!

That is a lot of snow and here I am hoping for snow - cause I haven't been able to take snow pics of my older DD yet! ;o) Your girls are so beautiful and your older DD is quite the stunner I must say. Just love the outfit your younger one is wearing (the blue and teal one) mu my fav color combo!
