My Grown up Christmas List

Page design for a scrap challenge of a Christmas song using Irene Alexeeva's Amazing Snowland kit:

I adore her kits because the pages make themselves and that song is so wonderful, don't you agree?

Hoping you all have a Very Merry Christmas!

Quickpage- just in time for the holidays!

One of my favorite designers is Monica of mglscraps and I was first a part of her CT about a year ago and lately am one of the contributors on the CT blog. See that round button right over there to the right ->->-> Check it out sometime. My favorite thing to do is give away goodies, and the latest is a quick page from one of the most elegant kits you'll ever see. Click HERE or the image to take you there so you can download my page.

Hope you like it! Happy Holidays everyone!

A Winter's Poem

I was inspired to write a goofy poem after a conversation with a friend about the side effects of winter. I left the cold north about 6 years ago and haven't looked back! So I may seem like I am rubbing it in when I talk about heat waves here in December...I MEAN REALLY! Would I do that??? LMBO!

A Winter’s Poem

Or Why I Wised up and Moved to the Tropics

By Sandy S

Soft and fat snowflakes, tasting the first one

Bringing out the toboggan and sled, sounds like wonderful fun;

Snow forts, ‘no school today’ and snow angel anticipation

Be ready my friends, we’re in for a long haul of precipitation;

The dream of a fluffy white snow, just enough color in your cheek,

Is all an illusion, that feeling goes away in a week;

Soon replaced by the toil of windshield cleaning and shoveling walks,

Spinning on black ice and frozen car locks;

My lungs ache from breathing, from the chill in the air

My fingers are numb, my fuzzy socks are 'round here somewhere;

If one more big-rig sprays my car with gray, dirty snow

I swear my last bit of sanity is going to blow;

So my advice to you, if you can possibly go

Is to pack up and head south where the palm trees grow;

Just one bit of advice I bequeath unto you

As much fun as it is to tease about the cold weather blue;

Don’t let your northern friendships falter and wane

You’re going to need a place to stay for the big hurricane!
