Snow pictures

Someone on the Scrapbookaddict message board asked if someone could post pictures of snow. So here are a few pictures of my boys playing in the snow on December 1st. We must have gotten like 6 inches in one day. It snowed on the 7th and 8th too. Most of our bad snow storms so far this season have been on weekends.

My Christmas tree

Kathy M at Scrapbookaddict.com challenged us to post something Christmas related on our blogs today, preferably something we did today. I didn't do anything Christmas related today, so I figured I'd post pictures of my Christmas trees. We set up two, one for our living room that's pretty and color coordinated and another one for the ornaments we buy each year for our boys.

This is our living room tree. It has white and silver bulb ornaments, snowflakes, and icicles. I love how it looks this year with the white lights.

This is our tree with the kids' ornaments and other unique ornaments. It's set up in our master bedroom this year, only because it's the room that had a clear spot.

Hope you enjoyed my trees!

Wine charms

My husband has been wanting some wine charms for when we host parties. I knew that a few months ago Micheal's had them for a dollar for 4 charms, so I went there yesterday. Of course they no longer had the charms, but I did find some cool beads I liked and a wine charm making little kit in the bead aisle. This morning I sat down and made up all the rings that the kit came with. The kit came with wine themed charms and then I made the rest with cool wire wrapped beads I found for the charms. I made more than we'll probably need so that I can give some to the hostess and host of a Christmas party we are going to tomorrow night. These are so easy, my three year old nephew helped me make a few of them.

The first few we did, along with my hands working on another one.

These are all of the charms we made. It took under a half an hour to make them. I got the kit for $4.79 after using a 40% off coupon and the extra beads were $3. Not a bad group of charms for under $8 : ).

Just another picture of all the charms.
