Happy Winter/Summer and Happy Holidays too

 Hi everyone. Happy Thursday.

Some of you asked about the water in my basement that I mentioned in the last couple of posts.  Most of my basement is just storage as well as the furnace, oil tanks, water heater etc, but the water was in the one room we have down there. It's where I have the washer and dryer, as well as where there's some food storage shelves. However, keeping it in this area meant I didn't need to pick up all the "things" that are sitting on the floor. elsewhere in the basement. And it was a good reason not to have to do laundry for a couple of days while the floor dried out.😏

But ha-ha, it looked like we were having a pool party when I put all the towels out on the railing (of the deck) to drip out the water they'd soaked up on the floor.

I've been having so much fun making my old phone directory card journal that I've gotten away from making other things (like Christmas cards. This will be a Happy New Year card year 😞). I thought since this upcoming weekend is the holiday, and also since today is the first official day of winter, I would share several pages  from this journal today. Hope you don't mind all my views.

I'll start with this guy who looks a bit creepy if you ask me. 😏

Since today is the winter solstice, here's old man winter decked out for the event.

And here's what some of us have to look forward to. (Or wishfully not.)

I did have fun decking the halls this season.

We won't be having a white Christmas after all of this past Monday's rain.

I bet there are kiddies counting the minutes until this guy arrives.

And this final page is for Wendy's Above Us Only Sky challenge over at Art Journal Journey.

Santa's reindeers are taking a steep bank upwards on this narrow page. I'm keeping my fingers crossed his bag of gifts doesn't fall out of the sleigh.

That's all for me today. 

I hope you're week is going well. Happy first day of winter (or summer) to you also.
