Blog-a-long Day 15 2009 Winter Charm Swap

This year I participated in a Winter Charm Swap hosted by Altered Beauty. The only stipulation was that it had to be hangable. So, I made 10 of little glass charms with a cute little holly on them, tied them to a few business cards, and sent them off!
Well, today I got all my charms! Yay! There are some really cute ones in here! Now I just have to figure out what I'm going to make with all of them!
Here's a list of everything that all came in that cute snowman bag with the candy canes and blue plastic snowflakes tied up with the big blue jingle bell!

Advent Blog-a-long Day 14

Today I wanted to share some of the fun I had with the kids last night. It was warm enough to go outside.






The snow was perfect for making a snowman. Here are the kids with Snowy the snowman!






Then we came inside to warm up and had hot cocoa and candy canes!












Oh! And here's our tree that we decorated the other night!

Let It Snow! Blog-a-long Day 9

Why does our first snow always have to be like a blizzard? Why can't it snow, like, an inch at a time and gradually build up?

We had our first real snow of the year yesterday/last night/today.
