dd10: snow day!

day ten was the first real snowstorm of the year here in the northeast, so of course i had to go outside and take a bunch of photos of the house and yard with snow on them!* this is my favorite pic from tuesday, of the norway spruces planted right after we moved in, sportin' their snowy chapeaux for the very first time!

(vintage: pages from christmas ideals magazine; glitter chipboard letters: mambi; instagrammed photo printed on kodak premium glossy photo paper; journaling typewritten on a scrap of avery clear inkjet label)

page-wise, this is really minimalist for me, but i had the beautiful illustration from an old ideals magazine, and the photo of our yard, and it really didn't need much else, imo, so i stopped. you'll notice that this page is narrower than some of the others. that's because i accidentally trimmed a few to the wrong measurements when i was making the base of the book. i could've decided not to use the "ruined" pages, or saved them for something else; but since i was also using some old xmas cards and other oddly-shaped items, it didn't really seem to matter; and actually, i like the way you get a little peek of what's coming up next. vive le difference, mes cheris! ♥

*i can only imagine what our new neighbors think, having watched me, over the last 8 months, enthusiastically taking photos of our garden's first buds, our first flowers, first weeds (yes, i AM serious!), the new lawnmower, our new garage door, our first autumn leaves, etc, etc, etc!
