This is the second card I made for Alex who is a Florida policeman recovering from knee surgery. You can read all about it here . I have been inspired by ALL of the snow on my street!!! It is so cold here. My poor very old GMC pickup truck is having some issues with the cold. My window won't go up...just down, my door won't unlock....guess which side of the vehicle is experiencing difficulty.....THE DRIVER'S SIDE!!! I cannot drive at night because the headlight is out on the DRIVER'S SIDE. Bad knee and all, I had to crawl over the console and manually unlock the door this morning. This was NOT a pretty site and I am sure Annie Jo Ryan has it all on film. She is ALWAYS spying on me.....just check her gallery!!!
I colored this with Pearl Ex again on the snow parts which made it sparkle. Then I added a little Stickles to give more sparkle. Hopefully it will bring a smile.
Thank you for looking.

Well, your winter scene is beautiful and it did indeed bring a smile. But your story about your truck issues and A.J. Ryan's spying tactics brought an even bigger grin to this snow-bound face. Ah yes, winter is even tougher on us as we add numbers to our years... Your policeman friend should appreciate this - even though he's in Florida where "cold" is a term they really don't understand.

He got this in the mail today!! I can't wait to see it up close.
Nice touch with taking the picture by the tree. It arrived on a nice cool day here in Florida, a whopping 63 degrees here today, yipeeee!!
Awesome card. Thanks again for sending out another card to Alex.
