12 Days of Folksy Day 11 ~ Winter Wonderland

It's day 11 of 12 Days of Folksy, today it's all about a Winter Wonderland, when I think of a Winter Wonderland I think of Perry Como singing and beautiful snow scenes. I'm not a big fan of snow, I'm more a hot chocolate in front of  a roaring fire while watching the snow fall from the comfort of a warm room.

But I must admit that it looks ever so pretty, so when we do get snow, (which isn't every year) I like to wrap up in a gazillion layers and pop out with my camera. 

These pics were taken a few years ago, all within 10 minutes walk from my house, I'm so lucky to live in a such a beautiful area.

Here's a bit of Perry Como singing Winter Wonderland, of all the singers who sing this song I love him the best, some artists sing this quite slow but good ol' Perry is quite upbeat, have a listen....

 I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

I Love You to the Moon & Back, Hanging Hearts and Snowy Scenes

Hello all, another busy week, whether it's shopping, baking organising or making. I'm sure you've all been busy too.

One of my jobs this week has been painting a few Hearts, these are all 15cm x 15cm or if you prefer imperial measurements it's 6x6inches and have a ribbon for hanging up.

I Love You to the Moon and Back has continued to be a popular saying, these Hanging Hearts were ordered as a gift for sisters, They have slight differences in the placing of the stars and the colours, one being dark blue the other a deep purple.

Hanging Hearts with Moon & Stars

I usually leave the backs of the Hearts plain but I decided to paint stars on the back of these, I know if they are hanging against a door or wall nobody will see the backs anyway but if they are hanging in a window or somewhere they can spin around I thought it would be a nice touch.

I've also been painting snowy scenes on Hearts.....
