Let it Snow! Let it Snow! Let it Snow!
Oh the weather outside is frightful, but the snow is so delightful! OK, I know, I know, the song doesn't really say that the snow is delightful (the fire is delightful), but this is how I have always sung it and I like my version better! For the past four days we have been dumped on by snow! It has been GREAT! I love the snow! It is pretty rare to get any good snow in the Seattle area. It is even rarer to get snow that lasts more than a few days. Because of this...chaos galore erupts in Seattle when it snows. Schools and business' close down, roads close, people abandon their cars and pretty much all life stops. For many areas of the world a foot of snow would not cause people to be 'snowed in' for days on end... but in Seattle we like our snow days! When I was a kid I would pray and hope for snow. Sadly... we never got much.
Until now! So far we have about a foot of snow... and it is supposed to snow Tuesday night. Woo Hoo! As annoying as it is out on the roads I think that the snow is pretty, and I am hoping that it doesn't melt and we are able to have a white Christmas!
Other than playing in the snow I really haven't been doing too much lately. I have been very lazy the past week. The exact opposite of a year ago. I have been able to get some fun digital scrapbooking done though! Here is a page I did with some pictures of all of the northwest snow! If you click on the picture you can view a larger image.

October- December Happenings
Wow, I can't believe that it is already the middle of December! Time sure does fly by fast. I feel like it should still be November. The past few weeks have just gone by too fast. I have been pretty busy lately though. My classes this quarter really took a lot of time, and there were also a lot of things going on at the Institute as well. But, I am very glad that fall quarter is done and that I will now have a little break before winter quarter starts. Despite the fact that it was incredibly time consuming, this past quarter was a good one. I finished my last quarter of Spanish, which also happened to be my last general ed class. Now it is all design and art history classes from here on out. WooHoo. I also took a pretty cool art history class this past quarter and finished my first class in the UW design program. Bellow is a drawing of a zipper that I drew for my "drawing for designers" class. It was a pretty interesting class. We were not allowed to draw with pencils.... or rulers. All of our drawings were done with cheapo Bic pens on 11x17 copy paper. This course was geared more towards those who want to go into industrial design rather than graphic design. All in all it was a good class though. We started out drawing a TON of cubes and cuboids and eventually made out way to drawing cameras, kitchen utensils, coffee makers, zippers and finally crazy drafting lamps.
When my classes weren't keeping me busy my calling on the Institute council was. I am the ward rep for institute, as well as the historian and the interim secretary, so I have been pretty busy. It has been fun though. The institute here has some great activities and it has been fun to be a part of them. In October we had our opening social. It was a blast. It had a western theme. Here is a scrapbook page that I did about it:
We also just recently had an opeing social, which was very fun. We had Santa and everything! Here is a scrapbook page I did from that activity:
The institute activity was a great kick off to the holiday season. My ward also had a Christmas party... last night in fact! It was a lot of fun. Each year the ward has different people from the ward decorate and supply dishes for a table. They also have a nice cattered dinner and some sort of musical program. I wasn't originally planning on going to the activity, but they needed someone to decorate a table, and so I decided to go and decorate a table. It ended up being very fun. Some crazy people sat at my table... but it was fun. By the time the party was over it had started to snow! It was great! It doesn't snow very often in Seattle... but man when it does it is beautiful! Here are some pictures of my table and of the snow:
When I got home from the party I decided to make a few miniature snow people. It was fun!
