December's First Snow

Well December has just begun and had our first snow storm. I got a part time job at Coldwater Creek in Chester, through a friend of mine. I had never shopped there, but after going to the store and working with all the wonderful women there. It's such a pleasant place to work and shop! Well back to my story. I had to work this weekend. They talked about snow coming but just didn't think it was going to happen. While I was at the store, the snow started to come in the afternoon. By the time I got out (4pm) there was probably a couple of inches on the ground, sticking to the roads and making a BIG mess! The drive home took a lot longer then usual. It continued to snow till about 9pm. I think we got about 4" of snow. The driveway wasn't too bad. Because of the warmer temperatures on Sunday it helped melt the snow. Thank goodness it was on the weekend and didn't have to sit in rush hour traffic! The next day, was a beautiful sunny day. I wanted to get a picture of the tree tops with the beautiful blue sky, but didn't get a chance before I had to leave for work. But John must have gotten these pictures later in the day. This is actually our 2nd snow storm for this season and it's not even winter yet!

Horseback Riding

Well I'm catching up on my November's activities. Just a short post from when John and I went riding. We went again the next week, but didn't take pictures that day. The day of the pictures, it was a really mild day with lots of sunshine. I only had to wear a light jacket! We go down to Footbridge Park in Blairstown and ride to the airport and get coffee or a bite to eat at the Airport Cafe. Then here's another picture of us outside the cafe at the airport. Some nice lady came along and offered to get a picture for us.

SU Holiday Party

Well I don't know what happened to November by it just flew right by! I did get a chance to go horseback riding with my husband during a couple of the warm days we had. Also this month my wonderful upline Tina had us get together for our annual Holiday party. We usually have this in December, but think everyone was busy to do December. Anyway we had a great time. Everyone brought an appetizer or a dessert to share. Pauline brought a star/card/ornament and Tina insisted that we all make one. We also all made a gift to swap. It had to be something made with SU products. Here's a picture of the box I made and the inside. I also made some ornaments to go in the box. Some were ornaments I made last year using the die cut "peace, love, joy, cheer". I also had made the star/card/ornament that Pauline had brought to show everyone and another ornament we made from our shoebox swap in September or October. It was Louise DelVecchio's. You use DSP and the ornament punch. It was so simple I made a few later that week. We play a game to see who gets what. It's a lot of fun and you may not go home with the gift you first pick, but you do go home with one of the gifts. I forgot my camera to take pictures of all the gifts, but if you go to Colleen's blog, she has pictures of all the gifts. Enjoy! Cyndy
