    I can’t believe I’m first to leave a comment about snowmen.
    We always made a snowwoman to go along with our snowman. Everyone knows there’s always a good woman behind every man.

    Thanks Michelle and have a safe and wonderful trip.

    Snowmen… aaaaaaahhhhh, they have so many happy memories for me. Whenever it snowed my Dad would always come home early and we would build a little snow family in the garden. I sneaked a little snowman into bed with me and ofcourse it melted rather quickly, my little sister got the blame for wetting the bed, I never let on! naughty naughty!

    thanks for the chance of winning some great blog candy

    I always felt that we were like snowmen all bundled up in those snow suits. At times we had to roll the snow throughout most of the yard to make the base just the right size. I do have to admit that I’m one of those snowmen lovers that keeps one out all year long. Thanks for your generosity.

    The taxi’s waitin’ and blowin’ his horn, I hate to wake you up to say good-bye…… I love snowmen. I have an obsession with snowmen stamps and kkep getting more! They are just so cute. We usually bundle up with the grandkids and make a snow family on nice winter days; not many of those in Wisconsin, usually soooo cold. LOL but they look so cute! Kathy Eddy

    Hi Michelle,
    I just love your work and hope to attend a workshop next year with Nancy and Gayla.

    I love snowmen because they have a cold nose and a warm heart.

    thanks

    Hi Michelle
    I haven’t had the opportunity to make a snowman but my daughter did recently on a school trip to New Zealand and she said it is not as easy at it looks. I hope I am lucky in this blog candy as you are drawing it on my birthday and that is the same day that my daughter will be having an operation in hospital. Have fun in Colorado with you family and the brayer workshop.
    Cheers,
    Mae

    Snowmen are so amazing… I grew up in Michigan, and made many the snowman/woman. My poor son, is growing up in South Carolina – oh the horror of warm weather! Haha. Well, every year in January/February, it snows for about 2 hours generally just for one or two days. My son and his father go out and make the saddest snowman you ever saw. He melts before dinner.

    The last snowman I made smoked a cigar and held a golf club! He was too cool…..lol. We rarely get enough snow to build one so this was really fun!

    Hey Michelle,
    Been checking in! Love your tutorials – as you know.
    Anyway… what I love about snowmen? Hmmm, I like to do them on cards, but unfortunately don’t get enough snow in this part of NC to build too many.
    Hope to win some blog snowmen!
    thanks!

    My son made a snowman in the backyard by the tree. I called me husband before he got home and told him to go move it to the back door before he came in the house and the kids knew he was home. So, he did. My son is still freaked out about the snowman that moved to this day and he is a teenager now! Love them 🙂 Thanks for the chance to win!

    The greatest thing I remember about snowmen when I was young, was all I had to do was walk out the front door to make one. Now I have to drive for 2 hours to get to the snow. We always competed with our neighbors for the biggest one! Thanks for letting me play!

    Snowmen, like Gingerbread Men, don’t last long around my house. Hey, its TEXAS! I did spend some time as a child in Kansas and they know about snow there. We would make snow forts and build snowmen to guard the entrances. We were never allowed to “tunnel” into the snow as it was dangerous so we’d make terrific walls and mount Snowmen along the tops as guards.

    I LOVE snow, snowmen, snowflakes, skiing etc! I have tons of great snow memories, but one of my favorite snowman memories is when my kids were little and we were outside making a snowman – it was the perfect wet snow (typical for the Canadian west coast) so we made a HUGE snowman and used the lids from bingo dabbers (my aunt gave us a bag full for the kids to play with) to make his face and buttons. He looked great, the kids had a great time and got lots of great pictures with the kids all bundled up and pink cheeked! We always come in and have hot chocolate and popcorn after, even now when they’re 14 and 18 but I have to drag them outside with me!

    Will miss you while you are in Colorado but have a Great time. Once I was having a Winter Scrapbook class and I had no pictures taken yet so my daughter went out and made a mini snowman on the picnic table for me to use on my page.

    Hope you have a t’riffic visit! As a kid my sister, brother and I always built a snowman in the front yard … and a huge snow fort. We were friends with “Frenchie,” who plowed our neighborhood; he’d drive the plow down each of the cross streets and pack a huge hill at the bend that our house was situated on. Thanx for the trip down memory lane, inspiration, AND blog candy opp!

    Love what you do and visit often. Hope you enjoy CO. I am in Montana and it is beautiful here now so, I’ll bet CO will be similar. My worst snowman memory was when my nephew finally came to visit from La and it had snowed so little that our snowman was black and white from the mud.. we laughed but it was really ugly.
    Thanks & Hugs,

    Karen is right.. snowmen shouldn’t have legs.. just a big ball at the bottom!

    Well Michelle at the moment I am not too happy about the thought of snowmen as here in Calgary we have just had several days of below freezing weather….way too early for that I must say…although the grandchildren certainly enjoyed making a few snowmen.

    Have fun in Colorado…they might have snow too!

    We ‘do’ snowmen here at our place!!! My kids each make their own..
    One of my favorite memories is of when our dogs were younger, and one
    would steal the scarf and hat and carrot nose of the snowmen!!! It was a daily ‘where are the snowman’s parts’ hunt!!!!

    And this set is adorable! My daughter and I would LOVE to share it:)

    Snowmen are my favourite on Christmas cards. I think it is all the white in them that pops off the card and makes them so bright. I love it when they have scarves or hats, etc to colour in with pastels. So much fun!

    Well, I love ALL snowmen/women; but when I was a kid, when my kids were kids, and when my grandchildren were kids they truly made more snow forts than snowmen. Every year since my grandchildren were very little, it has been tradition to go sledding in our back yard (we are on a very big hill) and play in the snow. I have so many beautiful pictures (always the best ones for the year) of the kids (all the grown ones also). In my family, we are all kids no matter what our ages. I enjoyed reading all the posts before mine, but felt really sad to think that there are some who don’t even know what it is to play in snow.

    Aloha, oh, I love snowman. I have a couple of stamps of Snowman. I always dream of seing a real snowmen – Hawaii does not have the “real” snowmen. I’m came from the Philippines and there’s no snowman there either. I hope one day I would be able to go to a place where it snows and see those snowmen.

    Michelle, please enter me in your drawing. I love snowmen and make atleast one every winter. I don’t know exactly why, but it has been one of my favorite things since I was a kid. Now that I have a newborn son, I can’t wait to make snowmen with him.

    I have been collecting “persons of snow” for years now. I even had a snow person nativity scene, until I broke one of the key statues! I have so many snowman stamps I would not have to buy another set for several years, and still be able to make a variety of holiday cards!
    Thanks for offering this wonderful set!

    My memories of snowmen is soggy mittens, and the smell of soggy mittens drying in the house all winter. My mom was a knitter so we never got to buy those nice waterproof mittens the other kids had on those fancy little clippies on their jackets, no, mine had LONG crocheted strings that ran around your neck and inside the sleeves of your jacket. But since they were wool too, they stretched so that by the end of winter you could almost drag your mittens on the ground when you walked with them hanging out of your sleeves.

    Have fun in Colorado and don’t go on any balloon rides!

    When I was little my mom would make chocolates. I remember one time taking some of the wax and making a snowman out of it. I kept that wax snowman for years until he was put in the attic and unfortunately he melted.
