The Snow Queen has a secret....it is wrapped in her story, here to share with you and all of the lovely snow queen party-iers. The Snow Queen, this poor misunderstood soul has her secret nestled within the bare white branches of winter....
She is assisted in this daunting task.....keeping warmth, sheltering from cold winds... by the sentry, she, which is also rich in the symbolism of the season....
the crane....perched, white, in the branches above....
the secret....the treasure.....the hope for the future....
Do you harbor a treasure.....a secret that must be kept protected and safe?
Please visit all the other Polar deLIGHTS here.....
What a beautifully creative post Steph.
Oh yes, so many secrets I keep warm and harbour under my white velvet cape! ;-)
Glad you're back on board!

Steph, this is so beautiful! I love the pink and gold and white of it all. Yes, there are secret's budding beneath winter's stark, empty, vastness...and my secrets? I'm melting away the ice and snow (the fear) and readying myself for the thaw and the revealing.

The Snow Queen's treasure is a delight to behold! Such mystery and beauty, all wrapped up in a riddle inside an enigma...probably got that quote all wrong, but I hope you know what I mean...give my best regards to the Snow Queen!
