Snow in Alabama!



Cold_cows_2_4 It snowed here yesterday....we couldn't believe it! I picked up my nephew at school and it started to snow soon after he got in my truck. He was so excited! He snapped so many pictures on the way home after it started to stick to the ground. He wanted to make snow cream and we put a bowl on the truck to catch snow, but I doubt he will get that much in there. I checked it when I left and they might have been two teaspoons full!! :) But it was pretty to look at. They live on "the  Mountain" (Sand Mountain, that is!) and I live in Scottsboro. It was nice & white when I left, but there was no sign of snow when I got to Scottsboro. Below are a couple of pictures my nephew took of the snow....

Tonight I'm in my studio staying warm and working on some papier mache figures...I'm trying to learn some new techniques, so there's no telling how these guys might turn out! :) I bought new fabric for dolls....I spent about an hour & a half at wal-mart trying to get someone to cut fabric for me!! After all that, I haven't even cut the first piece of fabric tonight! I wanted to get the  papier mache guys started so they can dry while I sew!



Fallfairyb4_2A few nights ago I was planning to paint a Valentine fairy ....but she ended up being a  Fall Fairy! This is a photo of her before I finished....just a little sneak peek!! I'm planning to list her on ebay yesterday!! Ha....since I didn't make it, I'm planning to get her on there some time this week!! Until then....she is up for grabs. If you are interested, email me at denise@scottsboro.org!



Last but not least.....I wanted to show you a picture of the view from my computer chair tonight...

  2. That is wild. It has only snowed here a couple of times in my life. Sounds like the perfect cozy scene to me, I can just see you all snuggled in crafting!

  3. Hey, Sharon! The snow is pretty but I hate being cold. I love being snuggled up inside when its cold and snowy inside, but that hardly ever happens here!
