Ok, NOW it feels like November

After some much-appreciated mild weather, I woke up this morning to flurries outside. The blistery weather put me right into the Christmas spirit! There is a station on the radio that has been playing Christmas music as of late, but since the weather has been so nice I haven't been able to bring myself to listen to it on a regular basis like I normally would (my general rule of thumb is that I wait until after Halloween to break out the Christmas music then listen to it non-stop all the way through New Years). Speaking of Christmas, look at what I made yesterday:

Ok, I know that it's a little large and I'm not sure where I'm going to put it. I also know that it's a little scary with the big eyes, but the important thing is that I did it all by myself! I am so crafty! :) It's made out of wood and I'm just a little proud of myself that I did it. I never thought that I was an arts and crafts type of gal, but here I am scrapbooking and making snowmen out of wood. Don't get me wrong, I certainly didn't come up with the idea, I'm not that creative (not yet at least, give me a few years with this whole crafts thing). We did it as a craft night with the women in our church, and I had a blast.

So now that I'm in the Christmas spirit, I am considering breaking out the Christmas decorations. Is it still too early? I just love this season!!
