    I miss making snowmen!! I moved to Oregon 7 years ago and we do not get near the snow that we got in Ohio – I have to go to the mountains to play in the snow now….with this set I could build my own!

    SNOWMEN WITH LEGS ARE JUST WRONG. THAT’S WHAT I THINK ABOUT SNOWMEN. I WOULD NEVER BUY A SNOWMAN WITH LEGS. LOOK AT MR TWIGSTER, HE HAD LEGS AND HOW LONG DID HE LAST???? I TELL YOU, THEY ARE JUST WRONG.

    Hi Michelle! My favorite memories are waiting for the snow to be “wet” enough for it to stick together and then trying to roll it into balls! They usually came out pretty lumpy and bumpy!!! Fun!! Now I live in AZ, so unless we drive a few hours up North, we don’t see any snow….
    Have a great time in Colorado, you will probably have a chance to make a snowman while you’re there! Thanks for entering me in your blog candy contest!

    I love snowmen but never been able to build one. I live in Louisiana and we don’t get enough snow (usually don’t get any) to build snowmen. Guess stamps are my only hope!

    Very cute set and very versatile. I love snowmen of all shapes, sizes and kinds and miss making them since I now live in California instead of Colorado. I did have a chance to teach my grandson to make a snowman while we were visiting my son (his uncle) in Washington. The two of us had a blast and then had a snowball fight.

    Hi Michelle!
    Enjoy CO! I’ve always wanted to go there.
    Growing up in Maine, we had many wonderful snowy days that were perfect for making snowmen! and snow ladies too!! My folks have a great size yard and even on the smallest of snowy days we could be found rolling balls of snow and hitting the grass! But, it’s always fun to make that giant snowman with a carrot nose, rocks for eyes and great twigs for the arms. My snowmen have to have arms! Topping it off with the hat from my head, that later Mom would get after me for not having on my own head 🙂

    Michelle,
    Welcome to beautiful Colorado. You will get to see some snow while you are here, so this is a perfect set for Blog candy. I love snowmen and I have made a few in my day, but they never end up with the perfectly round balls like they are supposed to, they usually end up looking like lumps of snow piled on lumps of snow. HA HA my snowmen are more “fluffy” than they would like to be I’m sure. Thank you for the blog candy and although I will miss your workshop, I will be there in spirit. Have lots of fun and enjoy your family!

    I love the snowmen stamps. I grew up in Minnesota and always wanted to put scarves and sweaters on our snowmen to keep them warm. crazy idea now when I think about it. Your work is great, unfortunately I don’t live in an area where you’ll be doing a workshop. Enjoy your work.

    Hi Michelle,

    Never thought I would miss snowmen as much as I do. We moved from Buffalo, NY area to get away from snow! Texas doesn’t see much snow but when there is snow on the ground you just have to go out & roll a snowman – no matter what your age!

    I have fond memories making snowmen every winter when I was growing up in the midwest. It was a blast… I don’t miss the snow now, but every so often when I see cute stamp sets such as this, reminds me of those precious days as a child! Thanks for the opportunity to win! Also I look forward to you coming to the Jacksonville, FL area next year.

    I saw snow for the first time when I was 13 years old… my older sister and I ran out and tried to build a snowman even though there was only 2″ of snow. He was part dirt and part snow but we had a great time and I thought he was grand!!

    Snowmen are such a fond memory of my childhood. Getting all bundled up to play in the snow! As a former Kindergarten teacher we always made time to bundle up to make snowmen and then come in for some hot chocolate with marshmallows. What glorious memories I had and hope made for my students.

    I love all things SNOW including snowmen and snowflakes! My favourite memory was when I built a snow family. I had it modelled after my own family of 4. I asked my mom to come out and take a picture of it, but she was cooking dinner and said she’d do it the next morning. Unfortunately, it was a warm night and the snow family deteriorated by morning. I was so upset! But stamped snow people NEVER MELT so now I’m as happy as can be!!

    I love snowmen as that means that I get to go out and play with my little grandson. We have fun rolling the balls, and having him help me hoist them up. It is so cute to see him decorate it with a carrot and put on an old tuque. It also reminds me of when I was young and did the same with my dad. Nostalgia I guess is the real word that comes to mind when thinking of snowmen.

    What an awesome set!! My favorite memory is from January 17, 2006. My husband built a snowman in our front yard so it would be waiting for us to come home with our first baby. We were scheduled to go to the hospital the next morning where our precious daughter was born! 😀 And now she loves the snow and building snowmen with her daddy and I!

    I think about down to earth, quality family time with the kids. Smiles and laughter that would put happiness in a passerby’s heart. I think of the snowball fight that it would lead to since I have 4 boys. and I think of Hot Chocolate with marshmellows for when everyone needs a little warmin!. OoooH! it will be here before we know it.

    I remember when my sister was 10 years old and I was 13 years old. She had to have surgery on her knee. We had just moved into our family cottage and the snow outside was perfect for snowmen. But, she was not able to go out and play. So I sat her near the picture window and I made a snowman just for her. I made sure it was just the way she wanted it to be. She still talks about it to this day. Her own snowman.

    Hi Michele,

    I like snowmen because (being Dutch) it meant that the weather finally turned fine. In stead of rain, rain, rain, the rain became beautiful when turned into snowflakes.

    Hi Michelle, I love your snowmen! Living in sunny (!) Tasmania (Australia) I can tell you the times we get snow are few and far between, but it has been know to snow on Christmas day – yes, in summer! My favourite memory of snowmen is when I was visiting Colorado and my son and his family there in 2006, and we went to Estes Park for a few days – so much snow! I made a snowman with my then 3 year old granddaughter, and snow angels, and saw moose (elk?) – it was so much fun! I have to tell you I have been brayering because of you and your blog – you are so imspirational wit hyour art. Here are some of my attempts! http://shogan03-timetoplay.blogspot.com/

    Favorite memory about snowmen would be building them them with my two boys. We would bundle up on the first good snow and always tried to build the biggest snowman possible…after we were done …our yard would look like we did not get any snow compare to the neighbors as we would roll those balls along the yard so many times it would pick up all the snow in the yard…along with a few fall leaves LOL. Great memories

    Snowmen – what is not to like. They are all so cute, as long as they are not the real thing (I don’t like winter). When I was a kid, I remember being sick, and all my sisters and brothers went out to play. They made a snowman, I sadly watched them through the window. So, a few days later, when I got well, I got my revenge – I went out and bit off the carrot nose!

    As a teacher, it was always fun to help the children, at recess, build a snowman. With the rule of NO SNOWBALLS, this is one way they could make snowballs and put them together to make a snowman. The hard part was explaining that their snowman would probably be destroyed as soon as the older students came out for recess. Atleast we all had fun making the little guy.

    I remember a time when my brother and I built a snowman. We were looking around for rocks, or walnuts to make eyes and buttons and we found these hard brown things in the yard. We thought it would work perfectly. We later were told that what we had used was frozen dog poop–yuck!
