I scrapped these skiing (snowman making) pics of the girls yesterday..it was great to
get all the scrap goodies back out and create again...there goes the dining table though!
...and I was over the moon to get these 2 wonderful books for Christmas..
Wisdom by Andrew Zuckerman from my MIL
Here is a description of the book:
Inspired by the idea that wisdom is the greatest gift one generation can give to another,
award-winning photographer and filmmaker Andrew Zuckerman interviewed, photographed
and filmed 50 of the world's great writers, actors, artists, designers, politicians, musicians
and religious and business leaders of our time. He posed seven questions to each of his
subjects - all over 65 years of age - and their candid responses offer uniquely inspirational
and often surprising insights
..and this lovely book from my BIL.. I've had it out from the library twice and very
happy to now own a copy...Another of Tessa's books is Falling Cloudberries..hint hint ;P
Love your layouts, I'll bet you don't have snow on the ground now but we do in the US (not where I am tho).

Lovely snow pics!
Don't want to worry you but I think Tessa Kiros has a new book called something like Venezia ...

the scrap pages are gorgeous (once again) and the books look fabulous.
i tried to leave a comment on your last post, but for some reason i often have trouble :(
i think you should turn your photos into cards and sell them - your photography is gorgeous, as is your scenery - what a winning combination!

Hi Gina!
We're back from visiting my grandson --I was very sad to have to leave him behind in Colorado -- he is such a darling little baby! I'll be going back in the spring to see him again --can't wait!
I love this cookbook! I borrow it from the library all the time too --lol-- time to put it on my Amazon.com wish list.
I hope 2009 will bring you and your family many joys and blessings!
Hugs, Pat

Hello Gina! Wishing you a wonderful 2009! Happy new year!

Sweet snowy scraps! That Wisdom book looks great! I'll have to try hunting it down. What a lovely gift. Lucky you! The cook book has a very interesting cover and has me intrigued. I'm not quite sure what those cute little shoes have to do with cooking, but I like the look of it. Hope you're enjoying your weekend. And a very happy 2009 to you! :D

I love that book...Apples for Jam. I'd love to receive that as a gift (rather expensive to just go out and buy). You lucky thing!!! I'm off now to check out Tessa's other book...thanks for the heads up!!! Happy 2009...
