Simply Sunday- old post of a Cozy Sunday

Hi everyone. It is time for my Simply Sunday post but this girl is not feeling well today, so I had a thought about this Cozy day I had last year and pulled up this old post from almost exactly a year ago today. I sure would love to duplicate this day and sure would love to feel better today but here is my "old" post for my "new" post today!  Today will be similar though but no walk and no baking but I will make cards and maybe some soup and I hope we have "Family Night" tonight! 
Today will be a stay in Pajama Card Making, Soup Making, Snuggling with Dogs, Family Night Day! Hmm, I wonder if my hubby will make that salmon again!
Have a great day! b


From Dec 13th, 2010:
We had a great and cozy day on Sunday.
It was very cold out.
Even the dogs are snuggling!

I made an Italian Sausage Soup that was awesome! If anyone wants the recipe, just click on the Email me button!

And made some cards......

My husband and daughter went for a long walk in the woods.

Then my husband came home and smoked a salmon. It was so awesome. We were too full from the soup to eat it but nibbled on it

Later that night we had "Family Night" My son made Peppermint Shakes from Southern Living Recipe  and baked us some Peanut Blossom cookies.........

........and  we watched Blindside. Gosh I love that movie and can totally relate to the mom, being an Adoptive mom myself and former inner city school teacher. I always cry when I watch it.

How was your day yesterday? What did you do? What are your favorite Christmas Cookies?

Stampin' Up! Snowman Card-A la Card Monkey Challenge #85

Mr. Snowman says hi and sorry for his blurry photo- his mom's ( me) Camera needs charging and she can't find the cord so this is a phone photo!

I had fun with this "Ala Card Monkey Challenge" 

This is the first time I played along and I really love the sketch from this challenge. It makes me stretch my imagination, instead of using my same old familiar card designs. 

This week's challenge is "Thanks" which I have in the inside but I couldn't resist the sentiment I used on the outside.

Materials I used:

Snow Much Fun Stamp Set

Marina Mist, Cherry Cobbler, Tangerine Tango, Whisper White and Naturals White Card Stock

Silver Glitter paper

Cherry Cobbler Seam Tape Binding

Glimmer Brads
Cherry Cobbler Twine
Jingle Bells

Tools:

Snowflake Embossing Folder

Modern Label Punch

Large Scallop Punch

Circle Punches

Oh no, Lost my Header!

YIKES!!

I lost my head- well not my head but my header! I have been trying to get my blog's "winter coat " up since December 1st.

Blogger will not let me add my new header and I lost my old header. 

Oh dear!

Spring header

Winter Header

I have been trying for days to get my total winter background on and it won't take. Now today I lost my header totally.

I have to delete tons of photos in my picassa account, which I have done but now I can't even get the old one back on.

bahhhhhhh

Edit- YIPPEEEEafter deleting about several hundred photos on my blog, I was able to get the header up. Now I hope I can get the background up ok without losing my blog~

Great- got my side bars and footers up now just trying to change my black and white siggy below to pink and blue  snowman for winter. It will show up in my next post.

Edit- Ok! All set now! My Blog has it's "Winter Coat" on!
What do you think!!! I did not design it. Dear Alison Lopez designed it for me a few years ago. She no longer does this but I seem to need a bit of help each season.
