Hi you all! Hope you are not snowed in! Here it snowed all day yesterday. Today we have had some sunshine, but it's getting dark again, so I fear the worst...
This is the photo I took yesterday!
Donna, please do NOT tell me how warm it is in Mexico, where you are sipping your sangria in the yard, surrounded by flowers, birds and butterflies!
For the alpha challenge I chose a long list of 'P' words, and couldn't decide which one to take. My pondering was interrupted by the postman's ring, who left a parcel for a neighbour. 'Parcel' was not on my list of words, but I decided that fate had chosen for me! I thought this would be very quick and easy, I didn't realise that it was difficult to make a flat parcel that looks like a 3-dimensional one. My lines and angles are still not quite straight so let's say that it got it bit battered in the post!
Have a good day you all, take care, keep warm and have fun! And thanks for coming by!
Fabulous Valerie great pages and word choice, Happy Easter to you our snow is melting well now but the temp is still very cold.

Great choice of word, Val, and love how you made the parcel, it really looks real! Hugs, Sarah
ReplyDeleteAm I allowed to tell you the birds are singing here - all over the place. 'Tis a lovely refrain. Your parcel is great - good volume = look 3D to me - I personally think you did a great job! Do hope you are out of the deep freeze soon. hugs, Donna

Hi!
ReplyDeleteSo sorry for the weather, but thank you for visiting my blog and taking the time to leave a comment!
I won't tell you about the weather here, you can see the temp when you visit my blog!
I will tell you that the air is perfumed heavily with the scent of orange blossoms!
Please email me your address so I can send you an envelope filled with this wonderful handmade paper and warm sunshine.
