2008 March | Josee Smuck-Stampin’ Up! Canada Demonstrator

March, 2008

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!

oh my gosh-what a weekend!!!! If you’re local…can you BELIEVE all the snow we received? If you’re not local- here’s a news quote about our Ottawa Weather: "Mother Nature walloped Ottawa with 51 cm (21 inches) of snow over the weekend, paralyzing streets and sidewalks across the Capital." It was quite amazing!!! I’m so thankful our power stayed on and we had no where to go this morning.

My family took a drive around checking out the size of people’s snow banks and took some pictures…here’s a few of my favourites I just had to share:

My kids in front of our front yard (blinded by the sun….lol).

A car that hit the side of a snow bank and couldn’t get out. My dh got out to help…what a hero!

I thought this was funny…the car (not ours) is buried in his laneway! I’m guessing it’s not his main car…at least I hope it’s not.

What a true Canadian (or Ottawa) Winter! I hope this weather gave you a chance to do some Scrapbooking and Rubber Stamping!!!! HOpe you’re having a fabulous and warm winter day! Josee

The Magic of a Handstamped Card

I’ve had a pretty yucky week with sickness going through almost all of us at home. I’ve had my cold come and go twice in the last couple of weeks…you’d think once you feel better, it should just GO!!!! My son had a ear infection and threw up 6 times on Thursday…the baby had a 104 fever last week….my husband had a one day flu and I had a fever and stuffy head at the beginning of the week and then it went away for a few days and came back late Thursday night.

What does this have to do with stamping you ask??? Well…in Friday’s mail, I got the loveliest Thank You card from one of my new customers. She ordered from me a couple weeks ago without ever meeting me and sent me a sweet note of thanks inside her card. It really made my day…really…my week!!!
