Impromptu Giveaway, Flights, Floods and Football!

If you follow my blog, you know that I routinely make Wedding Cake Toppers for our local, "Snohomish Bakery." I've gotten a couple orders and some great PR from them for "doing up" their Window Case for various Seasons.
Before Christmas, I made a cake topper,,which frankly, I just loved. But it didn't sell and I still have it. It's not exclusively Wedding  and could just be a fun, decorative box.....take a "look see"............

The little round box simply says "Love." (The box actually opens for keepsakes.....) So,,,,I could Keep it,,,,or Give it away. So......Easy Peasy.....If you'd like it-

I'll Draw a Winner Monday the 17th

Shew! I have had a busy week! I spent a lot of it crafting, a few more Valentines for Joyworks, but mostly getting ready for Ruffles and Rust next month! I share a few more of the items I'm working on for that soon.

The weather has been Uber Crazy everywhere! As I stated in my last post my Boss Clarice and Jana had their flight to Atlanta Cancelled....The BIGGEST Busying session of the year postponed....But they got out of town yesterday, finally! And there was also OUR little snowstorm to contend with,,,,and winds and then rain.....

And wouldn't you know it? My Studio flooding again after lots of wet snow followed by the rain. Ackkkk!
I don't have anything "down" where it will get damaged but what a PAIN in the backside!

Okay,,,,and another "Flooding thingy," just so you all know. . .Once in a while Snohomish, the little town that I live in AND where Joyworks is located is on the National News. The RIVER floods every decade or so,,,,and more in recent years (Can you say Global Warming??).  And when it DOES flood, you'll see our little town mentioned from time to time. I ONLY mention this because:
A) I live 4 Blocks Uphill from the River
B) Joyworks has NEVER flooded nor have other Shops on 1st Street because of flooding......

Its the surrounding farmlands and yes, often even our little private Airport that DOES get flooded out.
Now, they're talking Floods in the next couple of days.....and it'll be "soggy" around here...but we're all fine!

And, I've just gotta say in closing, that I LOVE Football! Yeah, I know, I'm in the  female minority. I used to take Statistics at the Games back in High School....and glitter, ribbons and lace aside...It's too FUN to watch! I work on weekends so I don't get to go to Seahawk Games or watch as much as I'd like to,,,,,But I'm SO proud of our Local Guys and ahem,,,the game may just be on the radio this Weekend at Joyworks!

I hope you enjoy the remainder of your week! I know I am overdue on reading blogs, replying and emails! But,,,,as Debra from Common Ground would say,,"Blogfriends ARE true friends." Know that even if you haven't heard from me recently, You are in my thoughts, my smiles, my prayers!

Hugs, Love and Hand me a Towel,,,,,it's WET around here!

    I remember that beautiful cake topper. I follow you on my Google Reader because otherwise it will register in my daughter's name...it that good enough?
    I am sorry about your studio getting flooded...yikes! How yucky...but so glad that your things are ok.
    Football, no. But out friend from South Dakota is the team orthopedist, I think. His name is Kevin Auld. His bil is Tom Brokaw! My claim to fame about five removed!
    Glad you are back.
    Hugs,
    Suz
