Class Projects - Dec 17th

I love this set by Close To My Heart called Snow Friends, Not only was this the set I used for class this week but I also used it to make my personal Christmas cards. I loved the sentiment, "Snow friends come and go with the seasons, but real friends last forever."
Even if I used other stamps to make for my personal cards this year, I incorporated the saying in the design. I'm blessed with a lot of really good friends :o)



Since the Christmas season is filled with so many things, I'm not sure if I'll get around to posting until next year. I hope each of you have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Stamp each day with God's love,
Frankie

Snow and Christmas Cards


We get so little snow here in Cleveland, TN that any little bit is cause for celebration.
Below are a few pics from the snow we received before the temp went back into the 70's again.
I took the next 3 pictures from our deck of the little farm and church behind us.




Here is my little house :o)






The following photos were taken at the nursing home where Joe's mother lives.
I love the picture of the chapel.




The holly looked beautiful in the snow.

A little bird house in the courtyard was covered.


Here are a few cards that I've been playing around with for Christmas.

My Fall Color Tour

Hi Y'all,
Here are some pictures of our Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia and West Virginia vacation. We had a wonderful time even if the weather didn't cooperate! It rained almost everyday and turned cold, a few flurries were spotted. We left home with 42 old and new friends on a bus headed for Lancaster, PA where we toured the Amish farmland and saw, "In The Beginning" at the Millennium Theater. The play/musical was wonderful!
On our 3rd day, we went to Fallingwater, the Frank Loyd Wright house in Mill Run, PA and then on to Pittsburgh. That afternoon we toured the Duquesne Incline built in 1877and took the trip down and back up in one of the old cars. The next morning, we boarded the Gateway Clipper for a cruise, lunch and a show. Then on to Frostburg MD.
Day 5 found us in WV aboard the Potomac Eagle Scenic Rail Excursion for Eagle watching and lunch. I saw lots of eagles but couldn't get them on film. We spent the night in Bridgeport WV and started home the next morning.
We had a great time and I'm looking forward to my next trip :o)
