It was a cold & snowy weekend which gave me lots of time to get all my crafting stuff together. We ventured out today & it wasn't that bad. We got about 10 inches of snow here. My Mom called this morning & said she was snowed in with at least 2 feet of the stuff & it had not even stopped, yet. I thought she was exaggerating, but New England was really hit hard. It's the perfect time for hot toddy!! I went with the non traditional recipe & really liked it. This is perfect to drink right before bed cause it will knock you out for a while. Yes, I had on a warm fuzzy sweater & solved the fireplace issue, too. Tom has a video of a roaring, crackling fire, so we popped that in. It was just like being at a fabulous ski lodge in Vermont!
