First Frost
Michelle
McClung |
 |
Frost, N. 1. a freezing
condition; temperature below the freezing point of water; very
cold weather. 2. moisture frozen on or in a surface. There is
a chill in the air.
The seasons have changed and the
cold weather is upon us. How cold? I guess it depends where
you live. As I sit here in Southern California, writing this
article, the temperature gauge outside of my kitchen says 80
degrees. Ok, the nights go down to about the 40's, but my
friends in the North are already seeing temperatures in the
30's and 40's as a high. It's starting to cool off. So, how do
you keep warm?
Traditionally for me when I feel the
weather start to change, I go into my closet and exchange all
of my shorts, tank tops, and flip-flops, for sweaters, pants
and boots. Out comes the hot chocolate and the tea kettle.
Lastly, the Chimney Sweep gets a call from me to clean out the
fireplace so I can cozy up by a roaring fire on those cooler
nights. Snuggle in and let's see how some of our reader's keep
warm on the frosty days that are upon us.

Designer notes: I love
the colors in this mini kit, but I wanted the red paper to
match Tuckers outfit, so I deepened it a bit from a pink/red
to a deeper ruby red. |

Designer notes: Because I
really just wanted to focus on the photo, I removed the photo
from the original background and placed it on a black
background and added my white journaling. |

Journaling:
A warm cup of cocoa on a cold winter day is just the thing to
warm up a cold boy. Who can resist the marshmallows and steam
of a hot cup of cocoa. So yummy. Good til the last drop! A
true sign that winter is here.

notes: Shannon uses blues and reds together to
show the warmth and beauty in a cold picture. Sometimes,
it's the mood a person enhances that inspires us all.

Journaling:
The first frost...or the first snowfall always brings a
huge smile to my face...I love the smell of winter
air... the crisp in the air - that signals the warmest
time of the year is coming, it signals the warmest time
of the year is coming it signals big downy
flakes...snowmen and icicles...family, happiness,
smiles, baking cookies, wrapping presents, the *magic*
that only the first frost can bring...I'll always look
forward to the first frost...I'll always welcome the
chill in the air with a smile because I look forward to
the best it brings out in everyone, including me.
