    Have fun Michelle! My favorite memory is watching my own kids make snowmen complete with a stocking cap and carrot nose. As a child myself I remember making “snow angels” in the snow. Thanks for the chance to win some great blog candy!

    Loved making them as a child. Prefer stamping them as an adult. I also think it is wrong for them to have legs 🙂 Thanks for sharing your amazing talent with us.

    A couple of my friends and I made a snowman one spring – it was our last snowman of the year. When the snowman started melting, I went out to give it a good-bye hug and accidently fell on it and squashed it! At least he didn’t suffer long!!

    My favorite memory of a snowman was the one my kids and I built on top of the roof! They weren’t much interested in helping me shovel the snow (we get a lot!), so we decided to roll it up to make a snowman. Worked pretty well, and we had the only roof snowman in town!

    Snowmen? I’m not sure I could identify one in a police lineup. 😦 We live in Texas. We don’t have snowmen here. I have to get my snowman fix from stamps. (hint! hint!) 🙂

    I would have to agree with Karen. Snowmen do not have legs. We’ve been known to roll the balls of snow so big we couldn’t lift them up to build the snowman. Skinny legs would have squashed flat.

    I LOVE SNOWMEN! Stamps and real snowmen. The real snowmen remind me of my childhood and times spent with our grandchildren. Snowmen just make me smile. While I was undergoing chemo treatments my husband went outdoors to shovel the snow – when I looked out – he had built me a snowman. He did everything he could to make me smile – he is a wonderful partner and best friend!

    I wish I could be attending your Colorado class! You may have snow while in Colorado, but the weatherman says it will melt as soon as it hits the ground. Maybe a trip to the mountains – then you could build a snowman! Thanks again for all the instructions you share with us on your blog. Happy October!

    I don’t know what it is about snowmen that is so comforting. They always bring a smile to my face. Here in our part of TX, we rarely get snow, but I do have a few pictures of the kids with their teeny tiny snowmen – they brought snow from everywhere inside & outside the yard to make them!

    Last winter we had record snowfall, and my kids and I made snowman after snowman. They were so fun, and my kids were delighted. When I see snowmen now, I think of my kids sparkling eyes and red noses and huge grins. I love them more now than I did when I was little, experiencing them through the eyes of my children!

    We usually don’t get a lot of snow in our part of New Jersey. They end up with old leaves and grass sticking out of them. I love to see what young kids can do with their imaginations when making snowmen.

    My most vivid memory is finding stuff in the hall closet to dress the latest snowman, and then getting in big trouble when the people who were visiting Mom and Dad got up to leave and discovered most of their outwear draped around snow people in the front yard!

    It still brings a warm glow to my hiney just to recall that day!

    My memory of a snowman is one made of dirty snow mixed with rocks, sticks and dirt.
    I live in San Antonio, Tx 🙂 I would love to win the stamp set so I can make a proper snowman. Have a ton of fun and bring back lots of memories so you can put them in your art.

    Snowmen are great! When we were young and growing up my siblings and I made many a snowman. None were very sophisticated, just an old scarf, some sticks and a carrot and of course rocks or coal for the eyes and mouth. Coal was still readily available in those times. When my son was growing up the snowman was much more dressed up, but alas, no coal for the eyes. All are wonderful memories.
    Love your work Michelle and I would love to win the set!

    The best part about snowmen is that there is no perfect size or shape. Their shape can be completely determined by how much snow is available and your creativity. Of course snow angels go well with all snowmen. I too would love to win the stamp set to make more snowman only inside. Thanks Michelle for your website.

    I love snowmen and use them in my holiday decorating!! In fact, my Christmas dishes are a Noritake set (now discontinued) called Mr. Snowman.

    So you see? I need to win this blog candy to make holiday goodies to match my table setting!

    Eons ago when life was so much simplier, and I was so much younger, my brothers and I went outside to build a snowman in the freshly fallen snow. We played, and had a wonderful time that afternoon, but I soon realized that I could no longer feel my feet! I went into the house, pulled off my boots to the brightest red feet you ever saw! It wasn’t long they began to hurt, I began to cry and my brave father put my ice cold feet on his bare belly to warm them up! He held my feet there until they quit hurting and were warm once again. To me, snowmen mean LOVE!

    Snowmen remind me of my youth – going outside with my younger sister and the neighbors to build one. Coming indoors with wet leggings and mom with hot cocoa waiting for us both.

    I grew up in snow country and made many snowmen all winter long. I remember as a child being so excited to finally get that first snowfall, but than having to pick the leaves out of Mr. Snowman!

    Hi Michelle! Snowmen and snow forts – they always went together when I was a kid her in Wisconsin. Then came the snowball fights! To this day my sister has a huge collection of snowmen that she leaves out all winter long. They always remind me of snow, hot chocolate, popcorn balls (homemade) and snowballs. Thanks for the chance to win the stamp set. Your blog is one of my favorites!

    I don’t have real snow man memories from when I was a child as I grew up in San Diego, no snow. But I do remember one year my sister and I begged my parents to take us to the snow, knowing that we did not have appropriate clothes for the snow they came up with a plan. We made mini snow men out of mashed potatoes and went to 7-11 for colored snow (slurpees). Well it was not snow but it did make for fond memories.

    It rarely snows enough to make a snowman here, but my best memory of snow as a child was when we DID get a big snowfall and my dad got to stay home from work, which NEVER happened! He helped us make a snowman and an igloo, which I remember as being huge, but was probably very small!

    Oh, I love, love, love this set!! I’ve been wanting it ever since it came out in the new mini. I honestly don’t have any snowman memories since I live in the land of sunshine, but I do think snowmen are totally cute! I hope I can make one someday. Thanks for the chance to win!

    I remember the joy of falling snow and the anticipation of building snowmen. Now, I still dream of white winters and the joy they bring to me and my son. It’s the perfect opportunity to share experiences of my childhood with him (building snowmen, snowball fights, etc.) and the best part….getting to take pictures of him in all the winter glory and SCRAPBOOK the memories. I’d love to have this awesome SU set to make cute scrapbook pages. 🙂

    We moved to Arizona to get away from the snow in 1979. I can honestly say I don’t miss it, except at Christmas. My hubby loves snowmen; he used to collect statues of them for Christmas decorations. He asked me to do our Christmas card this year with a snowman theme (thanks Diana Gibbs, for the design), so I am in the midst of working on those. Yes, I like snowmen, too; but if they are made out of real snow, I only like them from afar!!!! :^)

    Snowmen have to look happy in my opinion. Last winter when we had the thickest snow in years a group of children built a 7 foot snowman outside the newsagent shop and he gave them large chocolate buttons to use to decorate it!
