Winter Wonderland

Hello everyone,
       Since we have no snow here yet I had to make my own winter wonderland today.













I used a mirror and a can of fake snow to create my winter wonderland with the houses,trees etc. but I am hoping for some of the real white stuff before Christmas but it is not looking promising according to our weatherman.

Tomorrow we are supposed to get some sunshine so I will take some house tour pics for you.

Take care,
Carolyn

    Charming and sweet. The snow makes it perfect.
    Beckie in TN, hoping that we don't have snow. We get icy snow that the city can't handle.

    Hi Carolyn,
    I am with you and missing snow this year, I'll keep my fingers crossed for us both :-)
    Love your winter on the lake, the photos are stunning! My favorites are the ones where the color has been removed to almost black and white, so stark and stunning!!
    Hugs,
    Bella

    Carolyn,
    Good for you for creating your own Winter Wonderful. It's raining here, not a snowflake in sight. I think I'll head off to the public library this afternoon as they're screening "White Christmas".

    Your winterland looks lovely Carolyn! I believe we have the same kind of weather in Holland. It's grey with lots of rain :-( Hope we will get some snow for Christmas :-)!

    Lieve groet, Madelief x
