{inspiration} winter wonderland

It's a snow day! Snow days rock, I mean who doesn't love the fact that you are free to curl up on the couch, drink a cup of hot chocolate and watch tv all day (or in my case browse the web for wedding ideas). Have I ever mentioned that I'm a grad student? In my six years as a professional student I have never had a college snow day. In honor of the snow and ice that barricades me in my little apartment, I have created a winter-themed collage. On a side note, I'm not a techie and am usually pretty slow to discover the latest and greatest (in MBA lingo, I'm not an early adopter in the product life cycle). However I was super excited when I discovered the collage feature in Picasa. My previous inspiration board was crafted in Photoshop and it took me forever. Enjoy my inspiration.
