Here in Sweden, our days grow short and dark this time of year! Sparkling, white snow makes all the difference, it lights the landscape up so!

I am happy to present two new winter wonderland desktop pictures to brighten your day and perhaps your night! Or your short day... All depending on where in the world you are!

Snowy Day, is a tranquil, bright winter landscape with drifts of snow and a gleaming sun. A perfect winter wallpaper for a really minimalist, peaceful and uncluttered, snowy desktop look. Bringing some life to your desktop while still helping you stay productive and focus on the task at hand.

The next winter themed wallpaper is Snowy Night, a desktop picture with a magical, moonlit winter wonderland. Blue and white snow drifts, the full moon and a starry sky.

This month members of of Club Marmalade Moon receive a December desktop calendar version of Snowy Day, so sign up now to get your desktop calendar directly!

Day or night? Take your pick! Or take both! Let these snow wallpapers inspire your day, brighten your day. Or decorate your computer desktop with Snowy Night and Snowy Day to celebrate the winter holidays!

Well, while I was off to have Easter dinner with my family, the Easter Hare showed up for his last visit for the year! There were paw prints all over the house and he had left a note by my laptop with little odd drawings, scribbles and arrows explaining where all the eggs were...

Here are all the eggs and their locations! If you missed the egg hunt you can download them here.

And there is more! This was just the beginning of fun desktop events here at Marmalade Moon! I am launching a new project for people who like to customize their desktops: Club Marmalade Moon!

Members will receive exclusive, limited edition, designer desktop art that will be free for use in personal projects. You can use the desktop art to decorate your computer desktop. Or your blog or website. You can use it for your computer user account, your forum profile, or instant messenger. You can customise your social network such as Facebook, MySpace, Twitter. Making your digital space personal and beautiful. And it's fun to collect the desktop art too!

Sign up today and be part of the grand opening in April!

Happy Easter!

He's been here! The Easter Hare was all excited and said he had hidden six eight Easter Egg Icons on the Marmalade Moon!

I asked him what you were supposed to do when you found an egg, he gave me a look like I am hopeless, and said that “you just click on it and you will be magically transported to a secret page where you can save them to your computer”.

Then his paintbrush dropped out of his satchel and he snatched it back up and suddenly looked a bit worried. He said something about finding the right shades for chocolate, and said he'd be back with more eggs “when they were ready”. Then he jumped vertically for no apparent reason. Blinked and darted off.

Just like that! There was no time for me to remind him that the last day for the egg hunt is on Easter Monday, 24 March and ask him what he had planned for the grand finale! If anything... One wonders... I will keep you updated when I see any more evidence of his work...

Until then, good luck on your icon egg hunt! Six eight eggs to find to start with!

CLUE: If you have recently been browsing Marmalade Moon you might have to reload a page to see the egg, or clear the cashe in your browser.

So, I ran into the Easter Bunny and, he said there is going to be a desktop icon egg hunt here at Marmalade Moon!

Yes, he really did seem mad as a March hare, this bunny, or rabbit... Very excited, but also a bit scatterbrained... I was asking him about dates and how many of these eggs he was planning to bring but all I could get out of him was that it will be going on “during Easter” and that he will be hiding “some pretty eggs” all over Marmalade Moon... When I pressed he said the last day for the hunt would be on Easter Monday, 24 March.

I think that was a bit too much for him, having to be so specific, because after that he started mumbling about whether these eggs would be wrapped in foil or not, or if they would be made of chocolate or if they were going to be all in shades of pastels or in stronger colours, with patterns or dyed, hollow or solid... And then he hopped off with a jerk, I assume to make preparations, and I refrained from passing any comments about tin foil...

I just updated two sets of computer icons, Valentine's Day and Wedding with new juicy big sizes for Mac for Mac OS X Leopard and Windows Vista in time for for the Iconfactory's Valentine's Day Celebration. Naturally these icons still also contain versions for the classic systems. These icons will look simply gorgeous in Leopard’s Cover Flow or as searchable CandyBar iContainers.

Valentine's Day includes desktop icons depicting hearts, a Valentine's Day card, a forget-me-not, a rose and a box of chocolates.

Originally I created Wedding as an iconic wedding gift for a friend and co-worker. The collection has a Chinese theme and includes a wedding invitation, a bridal bouquet of red roses, gold wedding rings, a wedding cake, a present, a glass of champagne and the Chinese symbol for Double Happiness.

So head on over to the Iconfactory's Valentine's Day Celebration, where you will find that the desktop cupid has presented romantic wallpapers and icons!

There has hardly been any snow in Sweden this winter so I had to make up for it in some way. I designed a winter wonderland desktop background with bold, crisp, stylised snowflakes to capture a winter atmosphere.

'Snowflake' Wallpaper is available for download in the freebies section. Enjoy!
