I'm Older Than Dirt!

It's SNOWING!!  Really coming down too!  We went to the movies this afternoon and it started snowing while we were there.  Then we met the family for dinner - it's my sister's birthday on Monday - and it started snowing big time while in the restaurant!  I'll be posting pictures tomorrow!  A good day for stampin!

I just love these!  A friend sent it to me so thought I would share.
