Home made Christmas

I made the declaration this year that our Christmas gifts were to all be home made.

I cannot believe I said such a thing, because my fiends, Cathy and Jesse have all the creativity. lBut, I gave it my best shot. So, I paiinted a rock and it's supposed to be a cat. It's not that realistic looking, but enlarge the pic and maybe it won't look so scary.

Then, the other thing I made (for ea. of my kids) is a shadow box, containing a pic of my Grandparents, Paul and Ida Kunde's farm in SDl. It also contains some dirt from the farm.

That's as good as it gets!

Ahh, Winters in Bend, OR...gotta love it!!

The window sill pic is frost from the inside of the master bathroom. Do you think I dilly daddled in there?

They icycles remind me of when my mother would knock the icycles down from the roof in Anchorage when we lived there. They are really sharp and dangerous.

This is what the snow in our yard looks like right no. There are deer and rabbit tracks in it. I don't think they show in the picture, tho'.

A few nights ago when it was 0 degrees, I decided to go hot tubbing in our 104 degree water. This is a steamy look across the tub from where I was sitting.

Feel like playing in the snow? Come on up!!!
