Brrrrrrrr! It's Cold Here!

I got some paper mache snowmen out today in anticipation of snow! We have a 70% chance of snow tonight! It has been really cold for Alabama this week, but the skies have been blue. Today the clouds moved in!

My house looked so empty after I took down the Christmas decorations. After reading how Kristie left out her "Snowy" decorations up, I decided to pack my snowmen in a different box so I could use them in January.

I didn't even have these guys out this Christmas- so I enjoyed seeing their silly faces! I made them several years ago. I made the heads from styrofoam balls and paper mache. The hats are made from silver mesh fabric dipped in wallpaper glue and draped over plastic lids (from spray paint). Then I added more silver ribbon to stiffen them up. They have collars made of white fringe and I collected thrift store silver candle sticks to perch them on.

More thrift store balls are in the cloche. This will cheer me up until I can put out some Valentine goodies!

Meanwhile upstairs I have a big mess...

I took all the Christmas decorations into the guest room to sort and organize. I'm bringing all of the stuff I didn't use out of the attic and downsizing. My goal is to get rid of cardboard boxes and label all of the plastic bins.

I took some pictures of my neighbor's fountain. It has looked like this all week! Very pretty!!!
