Spirited Essence Works

It’s January! I love to watch it snow and the chilly breezes. And to be quite honest, I feel like this is the best running weather. It gets my adrenaline pumping and strive to go faster because let’s be honest it’s flipping freezing! This time of year is fantastic for arts and crafts projects too. My boys love to paint and be creative. My youngest especially loves snowmen. So taking down the Christmas decor made me think. It looks so bare on the walls after Christmas so why now jazz it up with something festive for January! We made these Snowmen Canvases to decorate the walls and it added so much flair for the month of January.
