I went kind of easy this time around. I found a picture I liked and printed it out. I mounted it on red cardstock then attached it to the front of the card. Then I decided it needed some glitter. I used glue and a paintbrush to add it to certain parts of the picture then sprinkled on the glitter.

Tuesday Dec 2
It wasn't a pleasant morning. I got up and we had gotten snow over night. It was still snowing. Then I got on Facebook and read that someone posted how bad the roads were.
I went out to start the car, clean it off and shovel the driveway a bit.
I got about 3/4 of the driveway done and just couldn't do any more. This old body just can't take it like I could in the past.
I pulled out of the driveway and headed to work. Normally my drive there is about a half hour. I was only about half way to work and the half hour had already passed. I couldn't take it any more. I pulled into a parking lot, texted the girl at work and told her I was turning around and going back home.
When I made it back home, I finished shoveling the driveway and then went inside. I ended up sleeping til 12:30 and when I woke up it was sunshiney and the road was clear. Had I just pushed on I would have been fine. I spent the day on the couch watching Hallmark Christmas movies instead.

Trees in the cave.
The first two trees to be decorated were the ones in the Ann cave. If you recall I added a second one last year when I bought the pencil tree. I probably should just do one but I can't help myself.
First up is the pencil tree that is a snowman theme. I still need to get a tree skirt for the bottom

The village
The village is all set up for another year. I don't know if I'm completely happy with the set up but it'll stay that way. I still haven't gotten things plugged in so it can light up and I'm not even sure if I'll bother with that this year. I don't spend all that much time in the living room anyway and I don't think I plugged it in all that often last year.
I'm thinking that I should probably stop adding more buildings because I really don't have the space to make this any larger than it already is. maybe in the future I'll just add some small accessories.
