1/4" of ice covers the roads and another 10 inches of snow is expected between now and tomorrow morning. HELLO?? Enough already! We feel accomplished. We broke the record. Over 80 inches of snow this season fell here in the Madison, Wisconsin area and we're only halfway there. UGH!
Today, I planned to get home from the swim meet and spend the evening putting a Janome sewing tutorial for you but unfortunately, I can't get there. I promise I will get to that this week. I am so excited to share that with you. I will also be doing another tutorial on Copic markers. There are other fun things you can do with Copics other than coloring your stamped pictures.
On another note, I am so happy you are all loving of our new release stamp sets! I have been checking out the galleries at SCS and I am amazed at what you are making. WOW! By Wednesday we should have every order currently in our system shipped.
Have you entered Erika Martin's Contest yet? It's all for a great cause and there is a mother-load of prizes so go check it out-

Please stay safe- stay home and stamp!
Hugs,
Gina K.
it's 71 degrees here right now. Maybe you should move here? We'd like a Gina K Designs store in my town, I'm sure of it.

I love your sense of humor. The picture is great. Yes, I am sick of snow so my hand is up in the air too. We have had 88 inches of snow I think. We are not too far behind breaking our record of snow too. Think spring.

Crazy, isn't it Gina? Thankfully, we had more rain and a lot less snow than expected. Unfortunately, that just meant more flooded, slushy, icy streets. Glad you decided to stay down in Janesville rather than risking the roads home!

I am sick of snow.. although today we has a nice day in Chicago. But anything can happen. I like your little picture with the hands.. Will that be a stamp in the future??

Ok so shoot me - I'm not tired of the snow, just tired of the cold. I LOVE snow because it kills the bugs (hee hee). We had 0 degrees Celsius here yesterday and today it was -20. Too cold for me. Sometimes I wish we would get snowed in then I would have an excuse to stay home and stamp!

Amen! I am sick of it too, Gina! Can you believe we still have many more weeks of winter?!?!?!?!?!?! Not fair!

I'm soooooooooo ready for spring!!!

Oh ya! I, too, would love that sketch made into a stamp. That is so perfect!

I love the picture, but sorry, we have absolutely lovely weather here in AZ. I had enough of that stuff when I lived in IL. If we want snow we drive to Flagstaff or CO. Hey, maybe you should move here, you could open a store and we have LOTS of swimming here. Even the Olympic swimmers train here. Well stay warm, stay safe and know we love you!!

Welcome to my life!!! I live in Northern Ontario and have always wanted to move south - not a chance. LOL
I live in a condo so the shovelling, etc. etc. is all done when I wake up - gotta love that. Soon you daughters will have to learn to skate. Hang in there.

Oh Gina...how frustrating to have to deal with SOOOO much of the white stuff. I would get cabin fever for sure. Let's pray for some warmer weather for y'all up north. Hang touch girl...it can't be winter forever! (thank goodness)

Sorry to hear that you are still getting slammed! I hope you are able to stay warm and do something fun at home! I have been enjoying my new set of copic markers... can't wait to order another set! Thanks for getting it out so quickly. Love your site and your creations. Your customer service is fantastic! Can't wait to see the tutorial for the Janome sewing machine as I got mine last week and I have no clue how to get thread on the bobbin or anything for that matter... not a very good sewing person! I need all the help you can send. Thanks.

OMGosh! I LOVE the "show of hands"! ROFL
So sorry to hear of the awful conditions up there. I'll keep a light on for ya, if you'd like to head South!

Gina, I can so relate to you swim meet situation. We lived in Colorado and my kids were competitive swimmers from the time they were 5 through high school. Been to many a regional, Jr. Olympics and other swim meets - some of which got snowed out. It was our life. I live in Arizona now and it does snow in the part I am in but it doesn't last long. Thanks for your neat site. Jody Briles

Hmm, should I keep to myself the fact that it was 84 at Disney this week-end and that was too hot?...
*squats down quickly to avoid the snowballs coming my way*
LOL!

Oh, Gina, I feel your pain! I'm in Racine, and while the Milwaukee area hasn't broken their record yet, we're still working on it!
Reply to this
Should I rub it in that it's 70 degrees outside and my kids were playing outside in shorts yesterday???
But you can rub it in during the summer when it's 117 freaking degrees here and you are nice and cool.

I am soooooo sick of the snow, too. I keep thinking it has to end one of these days. I'm in the Milwaukee, WI area and spent a good chuck of the afternoon chipping thick ice off the driveway! My back hurts today and it's snowing again! YUCK! Thank goodness we have stamping to keep us going!

I WISH we had snow! Here in VA where I live we get a "little bit" of every kind of weather, usually. However, we've only seen enough snow to cover the grass this year and last year! We are craving snow! You make me feel guilty because we were 75 degrees today, so I guess I can't/shouldn't complain! LOVE your stamps and can't wait for the copic tutorial. Are there different kinds of copic markers? I don't enough about them to buy any.

Hi Gina... I love your picture. I really think you should turn it into a stamp! Remember, it's an early spring coming (according to those groundhogs).Now if only we could save some cold and snow for some of those overly hot summer days. God bless. Linda

I was in Wisconsin Dells over the weekend and was going to stop in your store on the way home yesterday. I wasn't sure if you were going to be open and the hubby and 3 kids weren't going to be excited to take a trek to a stamp store. I am *for sure* coming next time!!!

Tired of snow? I have the PERFECT solution (for myself and MANY deprived stampers anyway) Move to NW Florida - no snow, beautiful beaches, and tons of Stamp Store Deprived Stampers just waiting for ya!!!
Stay warm!!!

Dude ordered me for like a savior anything and figured me to piece; delete mostly to getting what you completed to affect cancer;, skelaxin. THX
