Today was such a cold blustery day. It was even dark outside. I did finally turn the heat on the other day, cause I was freezing in bed, and I about froze my nose off getting out of the shower, so it was time.

The sun came out for a little bit as you can see in this picture as it reflects into the roosting box. Look at those beautiful eggs.

I finished cutting the ribbons for my class this coming weekend, well at least what I had in house, the rest get here tomorrow, so that meant I had time to open the laptop and check it out. I saw by the manual that I was to make back up DVD's for recovery discs, and of course I had none here.  So I made a trip to the store and picked some up.  So I did get that done, it took about an hour to do.  I added my virus program, and changed a couple settings, and then I said enough for now.  I need to install Office to it still. Then I need to figure out picture stuff and photoshop, I have it on this computer, can I put it on the laptop? I use it to drag my watermark on the cards, and to size things. So I definitely need it.

I wanted to show one of my favorite cards from Founder's Circle, I love the vintagey, grungy kinda look of this card. This card was made by Jenny Peterson. Thanks Jenny for the beautiful card!

So look what I found in my kitchen today?

It's Chef Gibbs back from his world tour, whipping up a scrumptious brunch of fried potatoes, and pork chops.

Here he lovingly uses an egg wash to bread his pork chops, and what eggs does he use? That's right folks home grown eggs! The girls were just a bit too late or they would have been the freshest eggs cooked, cause when I collected them later they were still warm!

I want to Welcome Kristen, the newest girl to my team. I am so excited to have her join my Di's Country INKers family.
