Snow...

I still can't believe it, but it actually snowed on Christmas.. If I believed in miracles I think I would have thought I witnessed one. Snow is both a blessing and a curse here on the west coast. We don't get enough of it to warrant most people getting snow tires, so when we DO get snow, the driving conditions are treacherous.

My boyfriend and I had to travel from one family's house to another on Christmas night, and let me tell you, it wasn't fun. But OH what a sight it was to look out the car window and see everyone's houses lit up with lights and covered with snow...

Okay. Enough of me being sentimental. Tara charged me with designing a fresh layout for a class (coming in February) using a technique developed by someone else (Trudy Sigurdson), using pre-determined products. I said YES! cause I always love a challenge, and the colours I had to work with were beautiful, and I must say this is one of my fav' layouts I've done in a while. I have always loved taking snow shots with my mom's digital SLR, and this winter it's no different, except now I have my own SLR and I can take as many shots as I want. (Over 150 on Christmas day alone) Besides Christmas we haven't got a lot of snow here yet, so I'm hoping for my little guy's sake we will get some more this winter, if not just for the pictures!!
