Every magazine in January tells us how to organize our lives. Here is my attempt at organizing craft supplies. Most likely this is where it will end but, I do love shadow boxes and I love filling them with all sorts of things. Don't you?
Snow had fallen the night before I took this photo. The snow landed on the the flower pods of a sedum plant which grows right outside my kitchen window. I had debated earlier in the month whether to cut the plant down or not. I'm glad I decided to keep the stems and faded blossoms intact. The temperature was below freezing so, the "poof balls" remained on the pods for most of the day. I thought it looked like winter art.
This is a photo of my kitchen shelf as it was last January. I really liked how it looked with the silver and clear glass. Very clean and neat. This year I have changed it up a little. No matter how much you like something I guess you can never sit on your laurels when it comes to design!
This was a centerpiece I created years ago. It was for a February event in my home. My photography and staging skills have improved since then but, at least, there is some texture in the photo.
Curling up with a good book and some chocolate, what says winter better than that!?
It doesn't look like it but, this picture was taken a month ago in December of 2015. This arrangement was made from the left-over flowers from my Christmas Wedding. It was so warm that month that I was still able to take photos outside. Such a bonus!
This was a hot chocolate station I set up one winter. We had so much snow that year that I could use the snowbank next to my driveway as a table. So much fun! I am not able to set up a snowbank station this year, however. So far, there are only four inches of snow on the ground. Of course, a storm is predicted for later in the week. We could get a foot! Time to buy some marshmallows!
Finally, here is the kitchen shelf I spoke of earlier. It is there in the background. This year I used treasured photographs in silver frames to take centerstage on the shelves. It's an easy way to create a gallery wall without having to put nails in your walls. I did use a few other items like the candlestick holder, plate and vase filled with dried gray berries to add a different kind of interest this year. The orchid, in real life, is a bright fushsia. It's quite lovely.
Well, there you have it...my winter white vignettes. Hopefully, as time goes by, I will gravitate to more color :).

I came from silver pennies---and I'm glad I did. Your photography is super, even the old stuff. A cocoa station in a snowbank, lol. What a fab idea, Thanks, sandi
