11th Day of Christmas
Photo Prompt - stockings displayed in your home
Teacher - Georgana Hall
My Layout - Chimenea
The photo prompt for the 11th Day of Christmas was to take a photo of stockings displayed in your home and Georgana Hall's sample layout showcased those photos. However, since I'd already scrapped about our stockings (& the story of my big stocking), I simply scraplifted the layout design and chose a different topic.
I used photos from Christmas 2007 when Robbie surprised me with the gift of a chimenea. I added a photo from last winter and a journaling block to tell my story.
Journaling reads: I've always wanted a chimenea, & Robbie surprised me with one for Christmas 2007. However, being from the south, I never bring in outside furniture in the wintertime. After three really heavy snows and freezing days in the winter of 2010-2011, the chimenea cracked & was irreparable. :>( Live & Learn!
Oh, that's a shame! It certainly does make a striking photo, though, sitting there covered in snow!
ReplyDeleteohhhh, Melissa, I feel your pain! The gorgeous birdbath the Chosen One surprised me with for my birthday cracked and broke the first freeze we had. He was going to throw it away but I wouldn't let go...guess it'll become a planter or something this spring. Guess we don't live quite South enough for our Southern mentalities lol
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely gift and loving the bow, but what a shame now
