Snowflakes and bugs

No more gloominess here. We’ve had some fresh snow and even some blue skies. I’m feeling overall better, if any of you are wondering. We did, however, replace the gloom with a fresh round of stomach bugs and viruses. How fun, yes?

Emma spent a day and a half home with the yuckies. Poor thing couldn’t even hold down sprite. As soon as she was feeling up to it she started demanding a craft because what else is a girl to do when she stays home a whole day from school. I was having my turn with the stomach bug so I couldn’t quite whip up a Christmas miracle but we did mange to decorate our whole house with snowflakes. White paper and scissors were the only supplies I could really muster up enough strength to get out.

I’ve decided that I’m an awful photographer, at least with my current point and shoot. If I recall high school photography class I didn’t do that well there either. I, of course, blamed it on the camera then as well -a 18 year old SLR of my dad’s. Ha.

The bright sun made some fun shadows this morning. It inspired me enough to even bother getting out the camera.

So here’s to getting better, enjoying the ever changing weather and getting even more closer to Christmas.

    After cutting out all the snow flakes and looking at them for a day, I started wondering how to cut out real pretty ones.

    I found a couple instructional websites. Thought I’d share.
