Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!
Raindrops have finally been falling on my head here in San Diego! California has been so dry all year long that these past three days have felt heavenly for me! It is almost possible to believe that winter solstice is just around the corner.
And to lift the mood even further, our family has just plunged into faking the season and making snowflakes. We try and cover most of the windows of our house with paper snowflakes. This involves multiple nights of scissors handling and paper clippings all over the floor. Often we have even asked for help from friends and neighbors. It is so much fun to get together and see who has natural talent! The best part though is to compete with my better half who seems to have a real knack at making snowflakes. His ones turn out fabulous every time, and mine are usually just mediocre - unless I strike gold and make a randomly brilliant flake by accident. It has also been wonderful to notice how both of my kids are now able to make snowflakes of their own.
If you would like to make snowflakes, you will only need scissors and paper (printing or tissue paper, white and light blue paper works beautifully). It also never hurts to add some sparkles with glitter! If you need instructions on how to fold the paper, you can find them here: How to Make 6 Pointed Paper Snowflakes
Just watch out, soon your floors are full of paper cuttings as well! Enjoy!
