So what did we wake up to this first day of advent but snow everywhere! We kind of expected it because it was trying to snow when we went to bed. We also had a power outage last night for just a short time.
Check out this
advent by Martha Stewart. My Vavo did something like this when I was a kid, but she hot glued them to a wood wreath that my Nono cut out with a jig saw. Once the boxes where glued on to the wreath, she made each box into a Christmas-time scene. She used Christmas cards that she cut up as the back drop in each box. Say it was a tree on the card, then the scene might have some little figure opening a present by the tree or something like that. A sort of mini-doll house with frozen scenes.
Isn't snow glorious! I love it! Our neighborhood looks very much the same today, but unfortunately, we expect it to turn to freezing rain later today.
ReplyDeleteOH, I remember waking up to those beautiful scenes. I left "snow country" 17 years ago and miss it soooo much!
ReplyDeletewow..you got a bunch of snow today. I wonder if the kids will wind up making a large snowman in the park across the way? Now wouldn't that be fun to see from your deck?
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful scene to wake up to on the first day of December. Since living in Tucson, I've had a secret wish each year that it would snow on Christmas Day--maybe one year it will come true.
