Jackson's are Lovin' Life!: Snow....flakes

I have always thought in my whole life that Snowflakes were

REALLY

just drops of frozen rain....or cut out of paper (of which i really LOVE to do...yes really!!)

or created with crystal beads to hang on a tree, or crochet out of thread to

make a doily or wall decoation..

(i think you get the idea)

As a little girl, I remember LOVING (and still do!) the Ideals Magazine. My Grandma DeMille use to get them and I would read them cover to cover, there is one issue where there is a poem about Jack Frost and how he frosted the windows with beautiful winter designs (I wish I had all those back issues!!)...I have seen such designs... BUT a REAL SNOWFLAKE with 6 points that looks like a crystal creation....nope,

NEVER,

UNTIL NOW!!!

Every year, it has become a tradition to go Christmas tree hunting...Either HERE in Gunnison, or down south in So. Utah (we would normally go out on the Kiabab in No. Az to find a grand Blue Spruce!) Well, this year we went up to Twins. If you live in Sanpete Co. you most likely know where this is, because I really don't know how to explain it...i don't pay attention to directions....up Mayfield Cnyn is the BEST you will get from me without a MAP!

So up the mountian we go....of course, because I get really nervous in snow and small roads with steep edges, I did a good job NOT looking out the window at the beauty we had before us, until I could see mountain on either side of the car! We arrived at our destination..... the kids are EXCITED for snow and pile out to play.....
