. . . Making snowflakes!!! I haven't had much time to do this with real paper yet this year, although, when the opportunity arises, I have been known to occupy several hours at a time with this tantalizing activity. I LOVE making snowflakes, you never know quite how they will turn out, no matter how strategic your snips are. And no two snowflakes ever turn out the same (just like in nature:) Be sure that I will make lots of these happy flakes the old fashion way before the season has ended, but until then, here is a
pretty incredible virtual version (that also shows you how to fold the paper in a really cool way, nobody likes a square snowflake.)
They really are amazing.
Speaking of wintry natural wonders . . . I learned this week that oranges are currently in season! I will promptly go out and buy a load of the tangy, colorful delights, which also make cool christmas decorations! (clementine idea from
Real Simple)
