An Alarming Snowman and Lessons Learned

On Saturday afternoon my husband and kids decided they had not yet had enough of the snow, and proceeded to build a snowman in our front garden.

I only joined then to take a few photos from time to time, then retreated to the warmth of indoors and central heating!

This is the snowman they created –

Is it just me or does that snowman just look like he is holding is hands in the air “Stop – Don’t Shoot!” and is looking more than slightly alarmed!

So on to the Lessons Learned
 

• I learned that I am number THIRTY ONE in the top 100 Mummy Bloggers in UK! I know these things don’t really matter, but they are encouraging to a blogger!

• I miss the snow – finally the snow is melting and we returned this morning to our familiar icy sludge and slippy pavements and sleet!

I miss the beautiful snow-encrusted branches and leaves

And the countryside looking like a winter wonderland (sorry for the cliche!)

The thawing and dripping branches were everywhere in the park

 And we are left with sludge and ice! (I would have a picturesque photo of this, but dh borrowed my camera today)

• I learned that swirl pins, kilt pins and bag charms have been  my most popular ordered items for www.janmarydesigns.com in the last month.

I would love some feedback, to tell which (if any!) appeals to you!

More items being added to the store soon – keep watching, and my first newsletter due shortly, including an exclusive discount.  Visit www.janmarydesigns.com and sign up for the newsletter so you won’t miss out.

That is my lessons for this week – so, what have you learned?
