We woke up this morning to snow. Not a lot, but enough to cover the ground. It sounds like a couple of more storms will be headed this way. I used to hate the snow, but I have learned to love it as long as I don't have to drive in it.
The top picture was taken with a flash the next one without. Sorry Mary and Stacey if our lights aren't straight!!! (You'll have to read Stacey's blog and Mary's comment to understand.) I'm just always grateful when Kerry is down off of the roof safe and sound. He has to put the ladder on the roof and it's too scary for me to watch. Speaking of Christmas decorations, continue reading.
Every year at the doctor's office where I work, our office manager comes up with a contest for our "girl's" Christmas party. This year we were given a tongue depressor, a pipe cleaner, 1 jingle bell, 2 small pompoms, and 3 small jewels. Out of those we were to create an ornament for our Christmas tree. I just wanted to share with you my creation.....a snow angel! I took an angel face that I painted, glued it to the top of a styrofoam bell. I cut the tongue depressor in half and glued feathers on the 2 pieces for the wings. The pipe cleaner is her halo, the pompoms her earmuffs, and then I glued the jingle bell and jewels on the front. I had some fur left from a sewing project so glued that around her neck and hem. I'm not sure I'll win a prize, but I thought she turned out rather cute!
