article: Day 2 - Snowflake Journal Entry | written down

I cut the snowflake from a photo I took of our house yesterday. Added rhinestones and silver ink for embellishment.

Text reads: “I have never been a fan of cold weather. In fact, it makes me feel chilled to the bone and miserable! But I am always in the mood for a good snowfall at Christmastime. Even here in the midwest, though, it seems we rarely have a fabled “White Christmas” or even a good December snowfall. So imagine my surprise when we received 16 inches of snow on December 1st! What a way to kick off our first Chrismtas season in our new house. I enjoyed going for a walk in it and watching the girls play, but somehow the snow seems even more beautiful form the inside of our warm house!”

And then at the side: “I love the way SNOW reflects the LIGHT inside of my house.”

The poem, “First Snow,” was written by my great aunt exactly 25 years before the snowfall in this picture.
