    Snowmen bring back a lot of great memories of building them with my kids (all grown and building snowmen with their own kids). We would have such great ambitions of building the biggest one ever, but we could never seem to lift a huge ball on top of another even huger ball! LOL!! Then we’d get out the spray bottles of colored water and spray on clothes or whatever. We’d build as many as we could with the snow available–we’d sometimes “borrow” snow from the neighbors. Thanks for bringing back those memories for me!!! sandy ;^)

    I love snowmen!! The first time the kids and I built a snowman — the kids insisted it looked like a “snow granny” and put a scarf over it’s head! 🙂

    I remember when my kids were little we were stationed in Philladelphia (my husband was in the Navy), we made snowmen and snowwomen. after they were built, I would mix food color in water and put it in a bottle and they would squeez the color on them to make clothes, they were very fun.

    I hope you have a wonderful time in Colorado and no snow yet or maybe you like a little snow. Early snow is nice.

    When someone talks about snow people…… their are sooooo many. I love all of them. Big ones, little ones, skinney & fat ones, ones that fall, some that smelt but remember they will be back next year or next time it snows.

    They are your creation you can have purple, red, green ones any color you want. You can put cloths on them, you do not have to put cloth on them. Eyes no eyes, nose or no nose, it is up to you……………..

    Love all your creations. You do beautiful work.

    Man I wish I were in Colorado. The people in Broomfield are so lucky to have you visiting! I wish I were in Colorado where my family too lives! Snowmen… Being from Colorado, I just remember we would build a snowman out of the best snow in the world, and the next afternoon it would be gone because the weather there can go from horrible snow storms to 80 degree weather in 24 hours! Gotta Love Colorado Weather! Hope you have a great trip!

    Living in the South, we have only had a few snowmen; the one I remember is from when I was little. It was half snow half dirt! And we had bread wrappers on our feet!

    Snowmen are the best when you get the chance to make one. Here in Salem OR we don’t get to do that very often. It just doesn’t snow that often. See a good reason to get the snowmen blog candy so I can always have a snowman during the winter.

    I can’t wait til you come to Salem for your workshop I am so excited to meet you.

    Hi, My favorite snowman is one we found in front of the Ahwanee Hotel in Yosemite one year. It was about 4′ tall, and just waiting for his picture to be taken. I keep that photo of my husband and snowman out in the living room all year long!

    Have a safe trip!

    my fondest memory about a snowman is just a few years ago. my son and i made a snowman but he was only about a foot tall. the snowman was sitting on a hill with my son and all of a sudden my son patted the snowman on the back and down went the snowman down the hill. both my son and i laughed so hard.

    My favorite snowman is of course the one from the Frosty The Snowman movies they show every year at Christmas. I always loved watching any of the videos about kris Kringle and Rudolph , it always made me even more excited for Christmas. I still love to watch them but to my kids they are lame and very old fashioned, huh what do they know about taste.
    thanks for all your tutorials

    In the past few years, I have collected many snowman themed items as gifts. I like them because they can stay out all winter long, and not look out of place when I put them away in March! 🙂 When I was a kid, the winters in the Midwest always gave us plenty of snow to make snowmen. He would get a hat & scarf, eyes, nose, and mouth out of whatever I could find, and of course, sticks for arms. Those were the days!

    When I think of snowmen I think of my grandson’s first snowman – who started to melt a couple days later. Jack was upset that his head was starting to get smaller. His dad had to tell him that that is what happens to snowmen when it turns warm. But then told him if he melted they would just build a new one next time it snowed. His dad buckled him into his car seat and they started to back out of the driveway and Jack leaned forward and yelled at the window what his parents tell him when he bumps himself and is not really hurt – “Just shake it off Frosty, just shake it off”. His dad said he was laughing so hard he had to wait a few minutes before he could drive.

    Oh … Snowmen are my men! I have fond childhood memories building snowmen with siblings and friends from the neighborhood. We would go across the street to a large field and build snowmen. I raised my daughter with the same love of snowmen. Her and her best friend have a tradition of building a snowman with the first snow of the year. They have have been friends for 23 years and continue the tradition and soon to pass it on with their children.

    When I was a kid and lived in Alaska, I used to love it when we drove past the prison. One thing the prisoners would do with their recreation time was building fantastic snow sculptures. I think I will always remember one fabulous creation – an igloo with snowmen sitting outside around a fire ring, and a polar bear stalking up to watch. After you’ve seen that, seems all other snowmen, uh, pale in comparison!

    What I love about the snow is when there are no tracks or anything! I think it is so beautiful! However, if we are ever lucky enough to even get snow, my daughter has to build a snowman with her Father and do a snow angel! ( Which I think she is an Angel anyway! HEHE). Thanks for the blog candy! That is so generous of you!
    Would LOVE to win!

    Hope you have a fun time with your family, while in Co.
    Snowmen always make me think of our dog Sheba that passed away, My husband decided to make me a snowman and got our Rottweiler to help, she always was helping to move things in the yard, like concrete blocks so a ball of snow was great fun for her, we also had a little fur ball yellow kitten that wanted in on the action, so she sat up on a pole and watched while we filmed the making of our snowman. After the editing and Hubby adding his in put it was so funny and a great memory of the best dog we ever had, The snowman was huge too and only required a little lifting from hubby.Thanks for all the great instructions I love your emails……..Norma

    Snowmen are very nice — the cuter the better! Some of our favortie family memories are building snowmen. My kids once built a 19 ball snowman — and yes we have a picture and yes, it is in a scrapbook! However, now that I am older and retired — i don’t want the snow you must have to build snowmen — unless I am with my little grandchildren to play in the snow! Then it is OK.

    My first memory of snowmen was “acting” in my kindergarten play “Winter Wonderland” in the mid 70s. We sang the song as we built pretend snowmen and looked through windows at toys in a toy store. Later on when it finally snowed in Texas, my first real life snowman wasn’t nearly so big as the one I had imagined. Thank you for giving us the opportunity to win this set–I would really like this one. :0)

    I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Snowmen!!!! I have been collecting them for over 25 years. I have to say though that I don’t like “all” snowmen. I can’t even explain what kind I like. I just know them when I see them. It’s “love at first sight”. I love them so much that when my daughter got married I turned her room into my stamping room and it is totally decorated in “Snowmen”!!!!! Thanks for the chance to win this set!
