Sue and Alison two wonderful ladies who do so much to keep us all scrapping and chatting over on the UK Scrappers website have come up with a great Winter challenge to get us thinking out of the box when taking photographs to scrap.
I enjoyed their Summer Snap Challenge last year and can't wait to get started on this list

In fact so keen am I that I've started already!!
 |
| #17. hand addressed letter |
from my lovely friend Susan who lives in Dallas, TX. Her annual Christmas card of her and her husband John with their 4 gorgeous grandchildren.
Two shots of Fleur taken on a morning walk. Taking care of # 6 & 12.
3 more to cross off the list
 |
| # 4. silver birch trees in our garden |
 |
| #5. baking - spiced gingerbread (Hairy Bikers recipe) |
 |
| #18. house number. it's my birthday! |
I photographed this bridge in Port en Bessin after a great lunch of moules a la crème and frites.
 |
| # 9 |
On a weekend walk I spotted some fallen pine tree twigs and cones on the ground, casualties of the terrific gales and wintry weather we've experienced recently.
 |
| # 10 |
Back to update the list once again before the end of January. I've still a few to get yet but have until the end of next month to get them all.
 |
| #1. clock at 12.00 |
 |
| #13. signs of spring! |
 |
#14. Fleur's footprints in the sand
|
First week of February already gone by and a couple more to tick off the list.
 |
| # 16 -scarves |
 |
# 11 holly
|
Seven still to find, I think a busker might just be asking too much, I can probably find a cobweb (!) and the rest should be doable in time.
Two of the final seven to add today.
Still missing lights, chocolate, bedtime, a cobweb and a busker!
 |
| #2 a gold cherub |
 |
| #3 a shop window decorated for Valentine's Day |
These last few are proving very tricky!
Yesterday, at lunch in Valognes, I managed to get two more.
Since there is no chance I'll find a busker I've gone with a substitute instead.
 |
#8 - chocolate (mousse)
Substitute D - hands.
(The SP enjoyed a steak hache with a pepper sauce & frites)
|
The cobweb is a cheeky one because I took the photo on New Year's Eve, I hope I'll get away with it!
O.K. so today I went out and found that the hedge had been cobwebbed overnight!
 |
| # 19 - cobweb |
and first thing this morning when I put the lights on in the downstairs loo I got # 7!
 |
| # 7 lights |
Just # 15, bedtime to get and then I'm done!
Here it is at last my final snap to complete the Winter Snap Challenge!
 |
# 15 - bedtime
listening to the Archers podcast!
