I just sent out the winter issue of limited edition desktop goodies exclusively for members of Club Marmalade Moon. This time I made an assortment of festive ribboned holiday gifts in the same style as the collections of Productive Icons.
Five presents in silver, green, red, white and gold to put your desktop in the holiday spirit. These icons come in very handy if you’re giving someone a digital present. I also adapted the holiday gift design into a desktop wallpaper.

Snowy Night. Winter landscape with full Blue Moon.
If something happens “once in a blue moon” it happens very rarely, but it does happen and I see this idiom as an expression for a miracle. I love the phrase!
This month there actually will be a Blue Moon on December 31, New Year’s Eve. How magical this sounds! But, what is a Blue Moon?
Traditionally, the Farmers’ Almanac referred to the Blue Moon as an extra full moon that occurred in a season. A season normally had three full moons. If a season had four full moons, then the third of the four full moons was known as a blue moon. According to modern folklore, a Blue Moon is the second full moon in a calendar month and it’s this kind of modern Blue Moon that we’ll see this month.
Here’s a desktop wallpaper to put you in the mood for the Full Blue Moon. Snowy Night, a desktop picture with a magical, moonlit winter wonderland. Blue and white snow drifts, the full moon and a starry sky.

Snowy Day
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 a winter wonderland desktop picture that I made one snowy day last winter and hope 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.

December. Walnuts, swedes, cranberries, turnips, pomegranates and passionfruit.
This year the Winter Solstice occurs on December 21. This is the shortest day or longest night of the year and I think it’s fascinating that although the interpretation of Winter Solstice has varied from culture to culture, most cultures in the world and throughout the times, celebrated it as a turning point and have held a recognition of rebirth, involving holidays, festivals, gatherings, rituals or other celebrations around this time. And still do.
Blue Branches is inspired by my longing for light during the dark winter months. The crisp blue quality that is specific to blue winter’s skies in the north and the beautiful twilight blue hour or l’heure bleue, with its intense blues. I’ve been documenting the process of how this image was created in my Creative Minutes project.
This desktop picture is a perfect match for the collection of Luminous Blue Folder Icons and as usual the download includes fullscreen, widescreen and iPhone versions, both with and without a desktop calendar for December.
