Many of you know, I love to scrapbook. I've been doing it for almost 15 years now. With the exception of sewing on my pages, I've tried almost every technique out there. I've made pages that move, pages with stamping, digital scrapbooking, and even pages using bleach. This winter I'll get to do something different in my pages I haven't done in 7 years - build cold, winter and snow pages! I always liked the sharp contrast of bright white against the dark reds, greens and blues of traditional winter pages, but haven't gotten to make any of those since we lived in New Hampshire back in 2002/2003.
I have things put aside already to build fall pictures. I even dried some red leaves from the yard to use on my pages. I'll have photos of us in sweaters, wearing coats, by the fireplace, and probably in the snow - at least a dusting. They don't get too much snow here.
I'm hoping to enjoy a Christmas parade or two this year with the family. In Phoenix, it was at night, downtown, and we didn't go to those. In Mesa, the parade was about 15 minutes long and mainly consisted of a high school band, a Red Hats elderly group, and Veterans in uniform walking (in their 80s and 90s). The rest was just local businesses driving a car waving and people in puppet suits I didn't recognize.
We'll see what they have going on in Show Low and St. John's for "Electric Light Parades" in December. And we're hoping to host a Christmas party for our local business team here at the house too. Maybe there'll even be something at our new church to attend.
All of these should produce great photos for some new and exciting scrapbook pages that I haven't been able to design for years!
