I know I'm not the only one who lives in snow country but I just have to share a few shots of the beauty that surrounds my home. We are located at 4500 feet elevation, in the Sierra Nevada mountain range of northern California. It's also known as The Motherlode, a long stretch of territory where gold was discovered in the mid-1800s. Fun place to live. :) I do try to not load up my stampin' blog with personal stuff but this is the exception.....new snow......
One of my favorite things is the English phone box. I have a small collection of photos taken here and there with me exiting a box (England, Australia, Switzerland). And my dear husband has built this one below for me with 2 doors given to us by a friend who was moving cross-country and 2 'found' doors. Lots of R&D and time spent in the construction period of several years.
This tree below, which I've watched grow over the years, is right outside our kitchen window. It seems as if it stayed at 2-3 feet for years and now, like a teen-ager, it's growing like crazy. One of these days we're going to have to cut it down because it will begin to interfere with the clothesline. I could expect this snow-covered version below, to just start walking away, kind of like a cartoon character.
I always enjoy the eerie lights-at-night photo.
My grandchildren live about 120 miles east of me. The older one, Austin, has enjoyed several seasons of snow at our house but his sister, Nora, was too young last year so she hadn't experienced it prior to me bringing a cooler full of fresh powder this last week. This little cooler, which was in the car to return to my sister, just happened to be in the car when I realized "Oh my, I could have brought some snow to the kids" and voila..... I pulled over to the roadside and filled it up.
And that's it for snow time/play/observations. Hope you enjoyed your little tour.
I'll be back with stampin' related items very soon, maybe even tomorrow!!!
