In the Greater Toronto Area we had an unseasonably dry November. Today, it is finally snowing. Unfortunately, it is very heavy, wet, slushy snow. Hard to shovel. Wet on the clothes.
We knew the "storm" was coming and I planned for it. Yesterday, I was out running errands and doing Christmas shopping knowing I wouldn't want to be in traffic today if I didn't have to.
So, I am in all day and quite enjoying it. We are lucky to have a wood-burning fireplace. I don't usually light a fire during the day but it seems to add to the festive projects I need to get done. Our tree needs lights before we decorate it tonight. The hidden gifts I have bought so far are in various places around the house. I need to organize them before I forget what I put where. And, I finished making our Christmas cards last night. It would be great if I could get them all signed and ready for the mail tomorrow.
Many blogs are focusing on traditions these days. Making my own Christmas cards is a tradition I have had for 15+ years. Here is a peek at our card this year. I cut the ornament from lino and used a basic black stamp pad for the ink. Then I painted it with watercolours. Time to go sign them.
