T stands for Two-fer

 

Rather nippy here in SOCAL this morning (Monday)......temperatures dropped down to 31' (F) last night........burr!  And that was after a rain storm went through Sunday......I mean it poured all day long!

 

On nice thing is when the temperature drops and the air cleans up we get to have a fire in the stove.  Since it is a "wood" burning stove we are restricted to the days we are allowed to burn.  What a great spot to set my new coffee mug, to keep it warm, while putting on my socks..........which were warmed up nicely, on the stove, before slipping my feet into them.........you almost got a photo of them too....LOL

 

Here is a photo from a little further back.  The stove sits in the living room, against a short wall that can be walked around on either side.  The tales this thing could tell, many times I have gotten totally dressed standing in front of it. :O  Why? Cause when there is a fire in this, we shut the furnace off and the bedrooms get cold!  It is how I used to get the boys out of bed to get ready to go to school.....I would lay their jeans on it, and when they were warm I called them, while they put their jeans on I was warming up their socks.......hey! It worked!!  LOL

 

So where is all this going?  Well it is time to link up with The T-gang to see what's in their cuppas.

 

It is also the 2nd of February tomorrow (still Monday here) and time to show something for the second time, on the second.

 

This month I chose a post and a card from 2010..........I remember that day, the card and the post, it had me laughing....now..... but not so much back then.  I sent this card to a new follower (at the time) and we became internet friends and are still friends today.

GC 62 sun challenge: My Golden Sunset

If only my Monday had been as peaceful as this little image of a golden sunset. It was anything BUT, headache made me sick to my stomach, car stopped running about a mile from the house; had to walk home in the heat, jeans and dress shoes. Plus I found that my purse weighs about 50lbs around a 1/4 mile down the road! But ALAS I got home took a cool shower and made this pretty little card. The sun was stamped on black glossy cs and embossed with gold. The sun itself was first painted white so the yellow, red and orange would show on the black. I found an old can of spray webbing in the garage the other day, I'm surprised it still worked when I used it on the background black. All are mounted on a metallic gold cs and then mounted on a glossy black card. Check out the other submissions to the Gingersnap Creations challenge here:
