Another Year's Holiday Concert

Dick is still playing with the guitar and ukulele group at the senior center. They are called the Hum and Strum Group and have their own opening song. Last week was their annual holiday concert. Like last year it was done following (well before dessert actually) the monthly potluck lunch. Each year I've done a page for this delightful event, so here is year three. I used the monthly copycat challenge template for it.

Let it Snow: Holiday Concert

Dick is one of the guitar players in the group playing guitar and uekele. This year their holiday concert came after the monthly potluck, but everything was set up in advance. They have a good time and the audience gets to sing along. This is the only time I really get to hear him play.

Still Cold but less snowing - Plus Holiday Lights LO

So far not so many schools are listed to close on Tuesday, so we'll see. There doesn't seem to be snow falling now and it isn't even blowing around quite so much. It is only 15 F though, so not too nice out there.

I got a freebie template with circle cuts last month and finally found a photo I wanted to use in it. The lights are from mid-October when there were lots of colorful leaves. The lights were orange for Halloween. Now the tree is bare as you could see in a post last week but it does have white lights for Christmas now. Still pretty, but I wish it were warm again!

ATC - Holiday Greetings

Deb posted a layout from the past and I looked up the kit used in it for her. Lori Staton's Dec. 2008 Color Challenge Kit was the one. I realized that while I had used the Starter Kit, I had not gotten to the Reward with its rich blues and greens. I decided to use them for an artist's trading card (ATC) to wish everyone happy holidays. My husband's photo was perfect for it I think. I hope you will enjoy it!
