A Winter Mini

I LOVE winter!! The snow is just so pretty!! I love to see the big fluffy snowflakes as the drift softly to the ground. I get so excited when I hear we are getting snow, and when it starts snowing I dance around like a kid in a candy shoppe!! I always hope for lots of snow, after all, I live in Michigan, but we rarely get any 'real' snow. 6 inches is a lot of snow around here, compared to where I grew up, where we would get a foot or two in a good snow. My brother was sweet enough to send me 'real' snow pictures a few weeks ago. Which triggered the idea for a SNOWY mini album.

I was over at YouTube and found the sweetest little mini!! (her etsy store: http://www.etsy.com/shop/awalkintheclouds)
I went to the listed blog and would you believe it, she was selling kits for the album. So I splurged and ordered the kit!!

It was great!! I was so excited to get started!!

It was a disaster!! I promptly ruined the lovely paper that was in the kit. I was so disappointed!! Eventually I forgave myself and started again. I had some great papers I had been saving, and this seemed like a perfect time to use them. I even got to use some of my own stash of embellies in the album!! I was still able to use some of the idea's from the YouTube album, but when it was done, it was mostly a Melody album. I feel good about that!!

I'm praying for more snow, so that I will be able to take pictures to add to it soon!! I have a few of DD ice skating that I plan to put in there as well.

I hope you like my latest mini!! Thanks for stopping by!!
