it's snowing!




it's SNOWING!
i'm so excited about the snow here in Western Washington... you can tell that we don't get much for three reasons:

a) people don't know how to drive in the snow
b) school gets cancelled for ANY accumulation
c) everyone buys a sled/ tries to go sledding in about 1 inch of snow :-)

but yeah, tonight i got back from Bible study a little earlier than normal because we were shooed away in the name of safety... but it snows more in maple valley than at home, so leaving the beautiful snow-covered trees was actually a little sad, despite the cautious driving i had to do.

anyway, i made several cards tonight (3 1/2... the last one isn't quite done). i used the sketch from 2 sketches 4 you as the foundation. i didn't feel like making a Christmas card, not that i've made any, just that i wanted to do something bright and different. so i made a couple of different sizes and tried out different embellishments... found out which cards i liked better, and which ones i'll make again (if i DO make the same kind of card again).

anyway, the evening has been very enjoyable so far... i may get working on other cards--who knows. peace to all, and...

Merry Christmas!

I'm in Western Oregon and it is supposed to snow tonight! Same thing happens here!!! So funny! I grew up in Idaho and learned to drive in the snow and it always really bugs me when people drive crazy and they cancel school!
