SnOwFlaKEs

 

Snowflakes are so beautiful! To think they begin as a tiny snow crystal

and develop as the droplets freeze.

 

 

They change shapes and sizes as they travel through

different temperatures and humidity.

 

Individual snowflakes are nearly unique in structure.

As children we were told that "No two snowflakes are alike".

Scientists have researched and found occasional snowflakes that are different,

but many more that are the same

 

When we were young, it was fun to catch a snowflake

on our mitten and look closely at their fascinating beauty before they melted.

 

Many of us learned to handle little scissors by cutting pieces out of

folded white paper and opening the paper to see the magic

that a few snips in paper could produce.

I remember taping these snowflakes to the inside of our windows.

Sometimes we would put the snowflake between 2 pieces

of wax paper to give them some body.

We'd punch a hole on the top and tie them with satin ribbon to hang on the Christmas tree

or hang them in our home as Winter decorations

 The photos of the sugar and gingerbread snowflake cookies are from Pinterest.

 

When I saw these cookies I bought  multiple cookie cutters

and lots of Wilton frosting supplies.

They are still in their boxes, but one of these days...

 

Make this a great day!
