Thank you so much for all of the wonderful greetings welcoming me back to blogland, I so appreciate all the comments and the emails I received! It's wonderful to back here crafting and being inspired by all of you!
It's time for another Saturday Step by Step over at FRILLY AND FUNKIE! This time around I have put together a snowy Christmas card featuring some wonderful new products from Linda's shop, The Funkie Junkie Boutique. I do hope you will pop on over and visit me there for lots more photos and a step by step tutorial on how I put this together, including how to make faux cinnamon sticks and the secret to my snowy scenes!

I thought I would share some recent pictures of the beautiful new place that I live. Our struggles and hardships with the move were completely worth it, and that is obvious with just a glance out one of our windows. The leaves are bright with colours and the sun and air are crisp and clean.
I have discovered that there are trails in every which direction and I look forward to spending many years walking all of them with my two wonderful girls!
And here is the baby of the family, Pebbles, as she enjoys a little break after climbing a big ole hill that tuckered her out! Happy Birthday my dear little Pebblie-poo!
That's it for today. Thank you for stopping in and for all the amazing comments. I read and appreciate every single one! If you have any questions, please let me know.
Wonderful project, as always. Great photos, too. Hugs to you and Pebbles, Valerie

Your place is just beautiful and I couldn't be any happier for you! I completely relate to growing up in the country and how hard it is to adjust otherwise. I so enjoyed this tutorial and the cinnamon sticks idea! Just amazing! I have learned so much from reading your blog, today gave you a little shout out on your faux snow idea! ;0 Have a wonderful and create week!
ReplyDeleteHello Pamela! It's nice to see your work again and read your blog! You showed once again a beautiful card! It also shows a beautiful place and beautiful autumn in your area! I greet you warmly and I look forward to another wonderful work! Hugs, Max
ReplyDeleteLooks like another lovely wintry make - off to see more in a moment - but first thank you for the glorious photos. Our autumn has been pretty damp and grey so it's fantastic to see the changing leaves against those deep clear blue skies - stunning! How marvellous to have those trails right outside the door... worth all the effort of moving, as you say.
