No Heat, Out Patient Surgery, Running Around.......God Help me!

It's Friday! and this morning when we woke up it was to snow coming down and no heat in the house!  DH and I had to leave to be at the surgery center by 7 for a minor surgery for him.  This is the first time he's ever needed anything like this.  They will put him out but the surgery will take less than 15 minutes.  All is well with him, no surprises, thank you God.
   We checked out the furnace.........he found a filthy filter and changed that.  We waited in a 63 degree house until 4:30 to find that the repairman turned it on and off and it started right up!  He said if the air filter is too dirty it will flip off the burner so there won't be a problem.  He said, "I wasn't here!"  I thought it would be a oops guy moment for Tim, but he said, "No big deal, I don't know much about furnaces."  I'm so thankful that there wasn't anything wrong with it.  Thank you God again today!
   I also had to fun around to get prescriptions, have blood work done for my dr. appt. Monday, get groceries with Ben and drop and pick Sarah up from church.
  Ben drove the van home from grocery shopping. I only had one stop/start that I had to say something out loud about!  It's the first he's driven with me.  Last Sunday Tim took Ben to Toledo to check out a fish store.  That got Ben 4 hours of driving time on the interstate.
   Here are some cards I've put together.  I am taking images from my watercolor done box and making cards.
I have one box for images that need to be colored that goes with me when I have to take kids somewhere and have to wait for them.  Then I have another box with images that have been colored that need to be put together in cards.
  The first card is just darling with the baby polar bears hugging mama.  This was for Free4All Friday on Splitcoast. You had to use a warm color(yellow) and something to make it fuzzy.  I chose flock which was added to all of the hats. The punch to the left was a Martha Stewart punch anywhere punch.
This is my all time favorite lighthouse set which is a retired set from Stampin' Up called Coast to Coast.  I colored it with watercolor crayons, then added the hemp and the top note die behind it.  It's mounted on bashful blue.




This is a new Cuttlebug folder that I got which I thought could be used either way.  I fit this cute little cat in here for a birthday card.  I then added buttons to finish it off. These are the new buttons from Stampin' Up.
Whew, I'm just home from picking Sarah up from church then running another errand with her.  I am home for the evening but tired. 
Report cards and progress reports went home today so hopefully this coming week will be an easier week for me. I miss stamping when I don't get to do it every day or every other day.  It's such a good way to relax.
Thank you for stopping by..............kids are now complaining it's HOT in here!   Can't please them I guess.
Blessings,
