It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

We had a pretty big snow storm and blizzard conditions here last week. Some areas had a foot of snow or more and the wind was creating drifts as deep as six feet out in the country. The kids had three snow days in a row! I hope this isn't an indicator of the type of winter we're going to have.

I was able to mail most of my Christmas cards before the storm hit. Many of them featured this cute Santa image that I colored with my Prismacolor pencils. I love the tranquil blue tones of this particular card.

Some of my Christmas cards this year featured a new technique for me: sewing! I've never been too interested in sewing, but I see so many paper crafters doing it and the look really enhances vintage-style items. So I broke down and bought myself a Janome Sew Mini, which is like a beginner's sewing machine. It's very portable and includes three sizes of zigzag stitch.

Thanks for stopping by. Stay safe and warm!
