Lone Pine Designs: Warm Winter Wishes

Lone Pine Designs

"Lone Pine Designs" originated when I first moved to America in 2005 from Australia. My mother in Australia called our new home in NH "Lone Pine" as she wanted my new home, which is surrounded by pine trees, to have an Australian name. The Battle of Lone Pine is a very famous successful Australian battle which took place during the Gallipoli war in Turkey in 1915. It was called The Battle of Lone Pine for the solitary pine tree standing in the middle of the battlefield which surprisingly remained standing at the end of the battle. After the tough few months leading up to our arrival here in America and surviving the first year in a new country I felt like that pine tree still standing in the battlefield. It was in 2006 when I started to sell my work on Ebay that I decided that Lone Pine Designs would be the perfect name for this new endeavour in my life.

So Christy it would be wrong of me to tell you that I am in a T shirt and bare feet. But then you will remember February and 95% humidity here.
I like you card interpretation. I do love snowflakes but cannot really relate them to my photos or life.
Keep warm and happy.

Yikes Christy, its freezing here too. Light dusting of snow but the wind is so strong it looks like a whiteout.
Wonderful card, love the snowmen and I especially like the colors. Purple is always a hit.
