Sure, we love snowmen and angels and Santa…but each year woodland creatures seem to take center stage in stores and in the crafting world. Perhaps it’s the cuddly little foxes or the seemingly worldwide obsession with owls. But perhaps we just love animals and these woodland critters are the cure to your winter blues.
