extra day off

Whew! recently we had 12 inches of snow. last night we had an additional 7 inches on top of that! Early today My work called me and offered that I stay put. instead of coming home.

My Darling Husband and I braved this 19 inches of snow to walk down to the storage shed at my moms house, to get my small box of easter decorations.

My Buffet is where i display a good chunk of my holiday decorations. My mother was big for "doing up" a monthly holiday when i was small. It was a nice tradition and i enjoyed it very much. HOWEVER, I don't have the time to do every room so I am just doing this one small area. I still get to decorate for the holidays. and yet i only have a small area to switch over.

now that sounds like a great course of action doesn't it? well, it will be once i get my holiday stash built up. :) right now i don't have enough St Patric's day ceramics done to do that holiday and i need to do more to get ready for valentines day as well, SO i have fast forwarded right to Easter!

and since Easter is late this year, I get TWO months of Easter!

As you can see i have lots of little Easter knick knacks. Some i have that my Grandmother made for me 40 years ago. :) I am very proud that i still have them after all this time. This would make her happy.
