TOO COLD TUESDAY...

Frigid frost on my panes

 Yes, it is TOOOOOO cold out there to enjoy the beauty of winter!  And as I venture out to the local day care to tell snowman stories, I smile at the innocence of the littles.  A young girl began to cry when I read about the BIGGEST BEST SNOWMAN, and she blurted out..."my snowman died...the rain killed it".    Yes, we went from a snowstorm with 7 degree temps, to a balmy 31, then to a 50 degree torrential downpour with high winds...only to be back today at 4 stinking degrees producing a lovely frosty vision on my very old windows.
Well, well.

 

My newest altered book adventure will be one made of salvaged bookends, and they will include the little quips and stories I gather from the littles at storytime, beginning with...THE DAY MY SNOWMAN DIED.  I will title this altered book, "Out Of The Mouths Of Babes".  The sweet and the innocent.

Winter Envie Swap 2013

Decorated Envelopes

These are 2 of my decorated envelopes for a "Winter Themed Envie Swap" with the Arty Tea Party Guild that I belong to.  The Christmas tree is holding on to them for dear life, as we are not quite ready for the whole Christmas scene to disappear.  Though we are bound to get more snow to make the winter season bright.  (Until the sand and salt turn it into a yucky, slushy mess...tis the season.)

Honolulu bound...ALOHA!

 The envie on the right is headed for Honolulu Hawaii and a special person who is no doubt enjoying something cold on the beach.   Perhaps one day they will get to the northeast to experience real cold and winter.  Then again, that's probably why they live in a tropical paradise...no cold...no snow!

...let it snow, man...

LET IT SNOW, MAN!

 My favorite time to walk in the snow is at night time...it is ever so peaceful in the woods at night

when the pure white, icy flakes land on your eyelashes as you look up into the sky to catch them on your tongue.  Oh and the dog...he romps and plays in it for the gift that it is...and he loves to play catch, with snowballs.  We must keep him away from the snowman, however, for obvious reasons.

Peace to all...

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!!!
