Snow Caves and Family

I've been a bit of a slacker on updating this blog 8}

The week before Christmas and I've been busy, busy, busy updating my Etsy shop (please visit! www.createjoy.etsy.com !) Taking new photos, cropping and posting, etc has taken up most of my time.

Christmas shopping has been a joy this year! We have chosen to purchase only for the little ones and it has dramatically simplified our lives. I finally got Lily's gifts shipped on Friday and nearly fell over at the price for shipping UPS. My own fault.

Lily called the other day and informed me they got "a bunch of snow"! It looks like Spokane got 26+ inches of snow in just over 1 day. Good thing daddy is an ol' SERE Instructor/Trainer! He made Lily a 'snow cave' and apparently Lily thinks it's pretty good!

Boxers, Snow and Faith

I awoke this morning to complete and utter silence. A rarity in a house with two boxers and hardwood floors! I quickly realized that Daisy and Max were snuggled up, keeping each other warm. It was snowing lightly and my whimpy boxers wanted nothing to do with the cold, wet flakes drifting around the backyard.

I LOVE SNOW! I love to spend the day cocooned and cozy in the house. I love the way snow insulates and muffles sounds. I love to wear warm wool socks and sweats all day. I LOVE SNOW!

With the quiet snowy morning, I gave myself permission to sit in the recliner all morning and work on art. I designed a card to include with my prayer bracelets. I titled it "Faith" and pray those that receive the prayer bracelets and card are blessed by them both.

I will be working on two additional prayer bracelet designs today. I am very focused on creating my jewelry and getting each piece posted on my etsy shop - check it out at: CreateJoy.etsy.com

It has stopped snowing, but I think I will indulge in another cup of coffee and snuggle up with a couple of warm boxers a little longer

Blessings to you ~ Create Joy!
