I shoved the crafting aside this weekend for a couple of days filled with family and snow! I could not tear myself away from my camera, and baking in the kitchen, also countless trips to the stove to make Hot Chocolate!
I am the first one to admit I am like a child when it comes to snow. I look forward to it every year and pray right along side of the children. This time was extra special because it was a weekend even daddy got in on the fun, plus the beautiful, incredible ice we had.
Honestly it's like God's diamonds all over the land. I love it!
Next door the icy trees lined up ready for my camera!
Little Miss Daffodil did not miss one second in the snow with our family. She stuck to the boys like glue all day and night!
I know this picture is awful, but the sleet was so heavy... if you look close you know why I posted it...that HUGE grin from the baby in the family says it all...
I wish I could capture the breathtaking beauty of the ice shimmering on the trees I was memorized...I would love to have taken pictures all day!
Even daddy got in on the fun with his floppy pink hat! (remember he requested I make it on Halloween?? he still wears it :))
A close up of the amazing ice and how stunning it really is...
We live on the end of a country road and the boys loved running up and down sledding on it...they all held hands too keep the sleds together, it was one of those precious moments a mother remembers forever.
So that's my snowy story and I am sticking to it! Thank you for sharing a piece of my life this weekend, I will be back to crafting tomorrow, until then
This morning I got up and scrapped this layout.... Now, if you think that everyone else's work is perfect except yours, let me share a funny story with you this morning!
I scrapped this page and I like it, so of course I wanted to get the perfect picture. But it's winter, so there are not always sunny "natural light" days happening at my house. Well, I got my photo studio out, but honestly I still need natural light because it does not have enough on these dark day. I saw a snip of bright light outside and RAN out to take a quick picture in between rain clouds...I was not fast enough! I was going to photoshop and edit the picture to make it perfect for you all and I probably will for Timeless Daydreams, but for my blog I got to thinking..."You know what? Not every moment or LO is perfect! I am just going to show everyone what happens when a HUGE raindrop hits your page!" LOL So here it is hehehe This is the BEAUTIFUL January Kit from Timeless Daydreams, another site I just love and am a Guest DT this month.Now the lace and big snowflakes are mine but the rest is the kit... I hand made these lace flowers.... do you think I need to make a tutorial?? Also this morning I made a quick tutorial on using the FREESTYLE MOUSE cutter from Purple Cows. I forgot to mention on the video it also cuts fabric...and pretty much anything else!
Hope it works for you. if you have questions let me know!
Yesterday I scrapped THREE layouts, let me tell you why... I broke into the February kit for Scrapbooking From The Inside Out and it totally inspired me to scrap! You know how you get a kit and you know it's special because you cannot think about anything BUT scrapping with it!! OMG that is SO the SFTIO February kit! AND...I was told..that SFTIO is going to have a HUGE crop in February! So JOIN and tell them I sent ya... Guess who is HOSTING the crop?? ME! That's right MZZZZ PINKY! So you know it will be fun :)
OK back to creating and cleaning, I need to get a hot dinner ready for these hungry boys coming home!
Have a GREAT Wednesday! ~Thank YOU for stopping by~ ~Pinky~
