Winter Love

20121227-163801.jpg

It’s officially winter! I can only say this now because I have officially had the opportunity to shovel my car out of its parking space. (Please note the sweet Mohawk my car had following its cleaning yesterday morning. I think he pulls the look off pretty well. Swagger at its finest.)

Yesterday, while the weather report was telling everyone and their brother that we were going to get pummeled with snow, someone forgot to tell the microclimate of Portsmouth that they weren’t going to be involved. At home, I found myself covered in snow, but 20 minutes toward the Seacoast to work, and they were only getting rain. Figures. A mighty workout of shoveling, and a push of the car out of a snowbank from two very kind, cute guys got me on my way to work.

Despite the heavy snow, I am pretty happy about it. This means I can plan my retreat to the mountains with my board, make snow angels in my front yard, and have snowball fights with the children on my street. Okay, that last one is a stretch. I’m sure they’d beat me and I’d just come home crying that the kids were picking on a poor defenseless 20-something-year-old.

Happy winter, everyone!

Snowflake Time

It’s official, I should have gotten a flu shot. Been out of commission for some time now, which is good in the sense that I can make tons of snowflakes for decorations, but bad because I still can’t breathe out of my nose. Pretty sure that Rudolph and I are twins separated at birth.

Anyway, I learned awhile ago how to make six sided snowflakes. I never knew how people did it. Mine always looked sad, but I figured out, it’s all in the folding. Check it out:

And voila! Fancy snowflakes to put on presents, on windows, or just on walls to make it look more festive.

Christmas Chaos – Easy Snowflakes

I’m getting into the Christmas spirit. Some would say it’s a bit early, but it’s never early when it’s already cold out. So I decided that I need to make something special to put up. With a hot glue gun and a mirror, I make six legged snowflakes.

Once the glue is cooled, you can easily peel it up from the mirror. I then used my glittery nail polish to give it some sparkle. I used my Stop and Stare by PURE ICE. But any glittery polish will do. Toss the snowflakes around the table setting for a party and you’ve got an easy snowflake set for decoration.
