I can remember the first time my mother showed me the beauty found in a single snowflake. Although teeny tiny, each one is uniquely different. Ever since, I’ve kind of adored snow. Some may say, even to the extreme (so what if I prayed for snow a time or ten).
At the top of our stairs rested some empty apothecary jars. It seemed only fitting to make snow scenes. The first attempt did not include the lights. Still beautiful but not magical. But let me tell you, finding that extra strand of lights (ironically with white wire) at the bottom of our Christmas bin was like finding gold!
Snowy Christmas magic all. day. long!

I've been collecting apothecary jars for Halloween displays... would be nice to have a use for them during Christmas too. I just wish the jars weren't so expensive. (On average, I've seen the large ones retail for $30 each.)
ReplyDeleteThere is a place on line you might try called Save on crafts. Their stuff is pretty cheap and inexpensive.
