Head over to Ruffled to download the free template for an airmail envelope. I printed mine on brown paper and added a vintage stamp from my collection.

You can also download this free font to get many wonderful vintage postage images such as the one below.

At my Grandma’s house, there is a large picture window facing her backyard. It provides gorgeous lighting, and the rest of the house is so dark that it fades away.

I’m sort of “into” vintage at the moment, as my editing of this photo reflects.

Making Lefse at Grandma’s

12-22-09n1

Every year, Grandma makes a large batch of lefse for Christmas. This year, she asked us to help her!

First, Grandma rolled out the dough on her well-floured counter.

Then, she transported it to the table, where John waited to cook the dough.

12-22-09n4

Next John, the expert lefse cooker, carefully placed the dough onto the hot griddle. I eventually convinced him to let me try my hand at cooking the lefse.

The finished product.

Meanwhile, Janna, Amanda, and I set up and decorated the tree.

12-22-09n6

We discovered some adorable retro ornaments.

Now we must wait ’til Christmas Eve to eat the delicious lefse, visit with relatives, and open presents. Only two days left to go. I love this time of year!

I couldn’t remember any nice sleeping photos (I generally take them as a joke), but I knew that Judah would be the perfect subject. He seems to sleep through most of the day.

Indian Summer

.

For the past week or so we have been enjoying an Indian Summer. It really was a nice break from the cold and gloom we experienced in October.

.

11-11-09n2-2One fine afternoon, Mom insisted that we all take a walk. We ambled down to the beach and found many birds on the lake.

.

11-11-09-n2-6

Elinor loved playing in the sand; she tried to stuff some of it into her mouth.

.

11-11-09-n2-7

Now I’m just waiting for the snow to fall so that we can begin winter sports: ice skating, x-country & downhill skiing, sledding, etc.
