Making Snowmen

Over the weekend, the mid-Atlantic region of the United States was hit with a big snowstorm and we received about 2 feet of snow!


I went outside this morning to try to take a few pictures...and I had to wear Jim's large yellow rubber boots since they were the only boots I had that were tall enough not to be completely overcome by snow --


It didn't matter...right after I took this pic, I stepped into a snowdrift and snow poured into my boots. What I didn't tell you was that I was wearing my pajama bottoms which definitely weren't snow pants! Brrrrr! I got wet and cold pretty quickly since I was completely inappropriately dressed -- all in the quest to get a good picture in optimal light before the sun got too high in the sky...

I aborted my mission when I stumbled again...more afraid for my camera than myself really. If I dropped that in the snow~ that would be tragic!

Instead, I went back inside and took this picture out the back door...


Over the weekend, instead of being outside building real-life snowmen, I was inside working on a less heat-susceptible version...

Which included lots and lots of "snow"!


And one of our favorite characters -- Frosty the Snowman -- sporting Jack's Mojo hat!


And even though it is a lot of work to produce all the little details...


It's also a lot of fun. Nothing makes me happier...


I guess maybe that's the feeling that some of those ladies had at the Santa's Sweatshop and Cookie Party I went to a few weeks ago? Perhaps they like baking cookies as much as I like making cards? Maybe I can begin to understand them...

And I just love the sight of this army of cards all standing at attention...ready to be sent on their mission of spreading love and joy to family and friends.


And now I send one to you too...my blogging needle friends...


May the JOY of this season surround you and keep you all the year through! Mojo hats for everyone!
