Playing With Snow Today

December 22, 2010

Good morning. Brr-r-r-r-r!! My, it's cold! I see a bit of a breeze outside my window this morning, and the yard looks a bit icy. Yesterday, several of the dwarfs went out and shoveled up the snow and cleared of my car too. Thank you, thank you guys. I really do appreciate that.

I have a couple of photos that I took yesterday through the window, of the snow on the hedge just outside. It's a good thing I took the photos because this morning there is hardly any snow left on the hedge.

My friend Su introduced me to a wonderfully creative group, Digital Whispers. The folks there are so creative, and everyday is a learning day. Today's challenge was to create snowflakes, either by drawing with a line tool, or by using your initial. I chose to use the letter "E." (That's because I couldn't find the line tool!) For a background, I used a photo that I had taken of the night moon recently. Then I placed my "snowflakes" all over the background. Because you cannot see the pattern in the little flakes, I placed one very large snowflake on top of everything and muted it a bit. Yes'm, I did have fun!

That's about as close to the snow as I want to get when I am playing with it. But I do love the challenge of learning new things, and this group offers so many opportunities for that.

Starting tomorrow, I have some Christmas gifts for you that I will post here. One each day, till Christmas morning. All together, there are three. With all that has happened this year, I am very grateful for all of you. Coming here every day to chat has helped me tremendously. Even though the Grinch has done his best to put a damper on Christmas, Tootsie and I will stil have a joyous day. And we wish the same for all of you.

Now it's time for me to get dressed, and maybe have another cup of coffee before it's time to start my day. Till tomorrow, Y'all stay warm and have a simply marvelous day.
