If you've got ice and snow...

you might relate!

We actually just saw our first snowflakes of the winter today!

However, in Oklahoma the ice is what does us in...we could be house bound for days.

Or we could have a penguin mentality

and slip slide the day away like these two...

Grace and Crunch digi by ARTish

*one of the two Monday Whatnots...What's not to love! digi releases today*

I combined them with this "rotated" sketch from: Sweet Stop Sketches

and this photo inspiration from:
