Happy Groundhog's Day!

We'll have to wait a few hours to know the forecast - but I am hoping Phil sees his shadow. It feels like we haven't even had winter yet this year. I would really love some snow (and some snow days!) For any of my Punxsy friends and family that are trekking up to the Knob this year - have fun, stay warm and encourage him to spot that shadow!

I spent last evening making dozens of groundhog cookies for Jacob's class and to take to work today. My new little mini groundhog cutter made the cutest ginger snap type cookies, but my favorite will always be the these medium size ones with the cinnamon heart!

A night of cooking would not be complete without my own shadow. That would be Echo - almost fully grown now and constantly under my feet crying for food and attention. He is most definitely part Siamese! He also has a purr box that could rival any Harley Davidson.

A new month also means a new banner - this one was a simple stock illustration, title font is Undecapped Vinyl. The border is a polaroid border from Lazar Studiowerx that I altered some. I also used a Virtual Photographer action to make the whole image a little grainy.

Hey Jen, Is it bad that I don't even know if he saw his shadow or not? I was painting all day or was at work... wow this month has been crazy and it's only the 6th :) Jennie
