Happy Valentine's Day!

Happy Valentine's Day!!

As you may remember I had mentioned previously, my husband and I had planned to go to Paris this weekend to celebrate Valentine's Day..... Paris, Virginia that is..... also to kick off our "around the world in Virginia" road trips. However since we got almost a foot of snow yesterday and might possibly be getting some more tomorrow, we won't be doing that after all (although I'm hoping we can do it next weekend). But don't worry... we still celebrated Valentine's Day.  In fact my hubster gave me one of the best Valentine's day presents ever! ...... We made an almost life-sized snow TARDIS! (if you don't know what that is shame on you  read this). Now you may be thinking That was your Valentine's Day present?! But seriously this was the perfect present for me because I love Doctor Who, I love the snow, and I love when we do projects and work on things together, which we got to do.  And seriously this is the coolest snow thing I have ever been involved in building (our snowmen when I was a kid were always pretty lame lol)
Getting started...

first couple scoops in place...

The shape starting to "take shape" {<-- hehe}

getting a little taller...

and taller....

almost there!...

finishing off the top...

the shape done!...

and completely finished with the details carved and the sign on it...

another side of the TARDIS...

and another...

all ready to become the next Companion

our dog trying to figure out what this big thing in her yard is...

close up of the sign.... I printed it out and then put it in a plastic page protector and taped the top closed so it won't get all wet...



I was trying to get a shot where you can actually see the little door knob I made of snow and put on the door, but you can't really see it too well...
