Layout: Someday

I made this layout for a contest about a year ago and considering the temperatures here are in the single digits with a windchill below zero I thought it might be appropriate to post!

Journaling: Someday I am going to live somewhere that it doesn’t snow. Winter Storm Warning In Effect. I don’t like winter. Winter is dark, gloomy and mostly shades of gray. Recently we were hit with a winter storm that lasted several days and dumped over 3 feet of snow on us. These pictures were taken the first day of the storm. The snow got so deep that our miniature schnauzer couldn’t walk through it. We had to shovel a path in the yard so he could find a place to go to the bathroom. I don’t like winter. I don’t like cold weather. I don’t like shoveling and I really want to live somewhere that it doesn’t snow. I want to dig out my sunglasses and head to the beach. I want to smell the salt in the air and hear the soothing rhythm of the waves. I want to feel the sun on my face and I want to feel sand between my toes.
