Winter So Far

November was fairly mild, a bit of snow, but not enough to have me strap on the snowshoes. It wasn't the right type of weather for some of our neighbors to be able to finish taking off their crops, and that's really too bad. But I don't think anyone was devastated, just frustrated. I spent my November shopping for Christmas, zentangling, reading, writing Christamas cards and getting my photos ready to order so that I can start scrapbooking in the New Year. 
It was looking rather drab outside until December 1st, when it snowed and then on the 2nd, we were gifted with a lovely hoar frost. That sort of winter beauty really puts me in the spirit of the holidays. We celebrate my daughter's 17th birthday this weekend, and after that, up goes the tree.  All the lights are up outside now and I'll try get some photos up of them soon.
I hope you are all enjoying the holiday season thus far.

This looked like a ton of fun, so why not? I started a blog as a way of introducing myself to those who wanted to get to know me better than what my little Etsy shop offered. I had absolutely no idea where it would go, how long it would last, or if I would get any response. As it turns out, none of that matters. I just love to do it. And I love reading the blogs of others as well. It's far better than TV. Click on the picture for all the details, and to register your blog. Here is what I'm offering up as my giveaway. A stone necklace with various findings. All findings are silver plated and it has no clasp because it measures a long 33 inches. I can not wait to see what everyone else is doing.

Snow Day!

It has been a wonderful, drawn out fall.  I've enjoyed easy walks around my yard well into December, and more time outdoors than I usually get during these first two winter months. This balance between indoors and outdoors is essential to keeping me feeling good.  I hate being cooped up in the house for too long without a breath of fresh air.  It makes me tired, and I'm a grouch when I'm tired. Yesterday, Old Man Winter decided to correct his oversight in our corner of the world, and deposited between 6 and 8 inches of snow.  It looked light and fluffy, but it was actually very dense and it took a lot of work on my husband's part to tidy up the driveway. The prairie I walk in out back was so completely whited out, it seemed as though I was getting nowhere, even though I could clearly feel the muscles in my legs straining to get me through the snow.  It is actually quite dizzying to be looking at nothing but pure white and trying to move forward.  I had ...
