Winter can be fun

I know winter can be fun from my own personal experience. See, I’m from the midwest, where it snows often. I mean like big time snow. Today as I write this, I’m looking out at my back patio and its an easy 4-6 inches of snow out there.

Let’s be clear. I’m one of those weirdos that LOVES snow. It’s so pretty! Makes our neighborhoods look like a postcard. I just love it!

Now driving in it is another story. LOL

But when you have the opportunity to stay in, with a cup of something hot and warm blanket, then the snow can be angelic in a way.

Creativity in the Winter

I know, people get the winter blues. It gets dark early, the weather sucks a lot, etc. That’s why it’s so important to keep your creativity alive in January.

Remember, creativity is like a muscle. You have to constantly work it out to keep it toned. So if you are stuck in the house like me, or just looking for winter-themed craft projects, I compiled a list of some fun winter activities for you.

Each of the activities comes from my creative friends who will walk you through the creative project step-by-step. Thank you to these amazing creators!
