SNOW! i have such mixed feelings about snow.
It can be so beautiful, a slightly sparking blanket over the browned grasses and leaf litter. "It's the lid of Mother Natures composter." "Uh haaawww, where did that from from???" It said by the man at the famous "place the helpful hardware folks" and they are seriously helpful too." Getting off topic sooner than planned!!! Apologies!
The fluffy flakes were the perfect inspiration for decorating, so i got out a few boxes, but by that time...it had turned to rain, and i had turned to Martha Stewart for inspiration. Ummm creativity overload!!!!! Still it's always good to dream.
Then, i remembered, reaching back to a gift i got when i was really young, like "first grade" may-be, when i got a package from a friend of the family who was stationed in West Germany.
It was a very festive Christmas scene with numbers printed all over it.... that appeared to be a sort of window??? what was this a game a puzzle, it turned out to be an Advent Calendar. It was carefully brought out each year , and carefully mended when the paper became fragile.....and when mending was no longer enough it was was framed and given a new home.
