WinterFest has a different theme each year.  This year it was Russia. We loved the theme ideas many of you posted – and for next year, we were inspired by the suggestion of Lori B from IMK,IML to think outside the box of theme by country.  We’ve already decided for next year, and I thought it would be fun to play a little game here to see if you can guess the theme!

I’ve posted 8 pictures below, all tied into next year’s theme – and then the 9th image has the answer!  So, scroll down slowly and see how many picture clues it takes you to figure out the theme! Post in the comments how quickly you got the answer – did you figure it out after 2 photos? 5? 8?  Not till you saw the answer? I’ll be curious to see! :)

(The first eight photos are all lovely items from Etsy, just click on the photo to check them out!)

grimm's fairy tales

I’m very excited about a Grimm’s Fairy Tale WinterFest!  There are so many fun possibilities with this theme … and plenty of food options, even though it’s not a country: porridge from Goldilocks and the three bears, a basket of goodies from Little Red Riding Hood, and so forth.  Plus, I just love the folklore woodland feel!

So how quickly did you get the theme? Let me know in the comments!
If you have any ideas about what we could do with a Grimm’s fairy tale theme, too, I’d love to hear them too! :)
