Christmas Art Journal Day Three
First off, I want snow!
Talked to my brother and sister-in-law last night (in Tacoma, WA) and they told me it snowed about 4 inches there yesterday. Tracy Kyle emailed me that she had snow too in BC.
I want snow. And not just a little bit. I want a ton.
Now, I love where I live in the Pacific Northwest. And there is snow about an hour east of here in the mountains. But all this Christmas talk is making me want it even more. I want to wake up and see that awesome white blanket and feel that sense of quiet and peacefulness that comes with all that white.
I know that many of you live in places in the world where it snows A LOT and you probably hate it - or dislike the inconvenience of it. But man, just send a little bit my way please...
Up early this morning and scrapping away. Also printing out all my blog entries for the last couple of months. And in a bit I am hoping to burn photos - behind on that too. And get our tree today. I wanted to get it the day after Thanksgiving but it just didn't work out right. So I am all over the tree thing today.
A little page to hold cards. And celebrate those cards. The red paper is from BoBunny Press and the background paper is from one of my favorite stores Paper Source. Wish there was one close to me. Top tab is from 7gypsies. And I am guessing that some of you have those poetry dog tags in your stash as well (click on that link and it will take you to Chronicle Books - notice they have 40% off everything there through December 4th - they have awesome stuff on that site).
I am planning to have the page next to this one (or more if needed) be a compilation of photos - similar to a page I did for Christmas 2004 (from Two Peas). Love seeing the big gathering of family and friends.
Hope everyone gets a chance to do something creative today!
I will send some of the snow your way! HA....you should live out in the Midwest....your desire for snow would soon disappear...HA!!! I only want snow one day a year...Christmas Day, and then I want it to melt Christmas Evening....
Anyways...thank you for shraring your christmas entry for today!! How are things going at the new house? Are you getting settled and unpacked?

This journal is so cool....it's so inspiring. MAN.....you are seriously something else.
I wish i could send you some snow.
Yesterday, i did an annual shopping excursion to a place in St. Paul called Grand Avenue. It's a long avenue of cool stores, and old city charm, and they hold this event called the Grand Meander. I go with my sisters in law every year....
the point to this story?
We literally had a snow globe like snow fall for the entire time we were out and about. It was cold...but man, was it pretty.

i wish i could send you all our snow from Billings, Montana. i don't like being this cold. snow- is wet and slippery, and you get dirty. our dogs dachshunds (is that how you spell it?) won't go potty outside, they get too cold, i guess. so me and Joe have been oppressed by their flithy pee and poo in the house. i just want snow blizzard on christmas eve night and then enjoy the snow on christmas day. i'm whining;-)
anyway, beautiful entry for Day 3.

Oh, Ali, not to worry since you're coming to Indiana this weekend. Plenty of snow to share over here. I'm in Illinois and am hoping for good roads so I can drive over to Avon to meet you!

We have snow here, Ali. Come see ME!
Loving this journal--totally get it. I'm not able to simplify as much this season, but I'm really only using the things I really love or someone special gave to me.
xoxo,
B

Why can't I see these photos?
There are a few pages that won't allow me to view the photos. :(
