    My daughter worked on Christmas ornaments today.

    She enjoyed catwheels in the snow.

    She made an ice castle - pile of snow with icicles sticking up.

    She posed by her cottage-in-the-snow.

    In the evening, she did more art. I helped a little with the tree & snowman one, she did the other on her own.

    Looks like you had a lovely day, both inside and out. Her ornaments are beautiful.

    Your daughter is beautiful. And it looks like she is very creative. What a great playhouse. That is a long way from what I had and called a playhouse. :stew1:

    stars

    eileen,

    She likes to make starts & then do swirls around the picture. Always makes me think of Van Gogh's Starry Night.

    playhouse

    I got that playhouse at Sams in July 2005. I haven't seen them there again, but I don't go very often. I was going to build her one, but my brother-in-law said, it would cost as much to build from scratch as to buy that thing & assemble it. So I bought it & there it is. I tore my right medial meniscus in my knee doing it & had surgery 4 months later to fix that.

    tenosynovitis

    And I also got DeQuervain's tenosynovitis in my right wrist from parenting & gardening. It's very painful & I ended up having surgery in 2005 for that too!

    gain

    Well, unfortunately, all the gain has been around my waistline.

    The presence of the playhouse contradicts you. So there.
