    I love the wonderful thoughts behind a snowman. I remember one time the school bus heater went out and they had to let all the kids off at our house. We all spent the morning making snowmen in our front yard. Then the mothers brought treats and we got to play instead of going to school. What great fun when you are a kid!
    Thanks for rekindling a great memory.

    Snowmen are so much fun. We just came back from a trip to VT to see the colors, and actually ran into snow flurries. Obviously there was enough snow that accumulated because we also so our first snowman (October 14th!), with a pumpkin in his tummy. Wish I had thought to take a picture.
    Love this set!

    I hope you enjoy your time in Colorado, I live here and agree, it is a beautiful state. Broomfield is too far away for me to attend the class, but when you come to Colorado Springs, I will try my best to be there for that one. That is about 150 miles from me but worth the drive to attend a class. I am a BIG fan of yours!

    I absolute LOVE snowmen because I live in sunny, warm Florida! How can one lose the appreciation for them when they can’t have them. We Floridians have a tendency to use the snowmen stamps, but rather on a sandy beach rather than a snow-ridden ground. Would love to attend a workshop with you, would you consider traveling a little further south to the West Palm Beach area??? You might like our 88 degree weather right now. It’s beautiful!

    The best thing about snowmen is that they are fun to make, they make you smile and they bring out the kid in you no matter how old you are! I lovelovelove creating snowmen and when I saw this set I got all warm and melty thinking about the lovely cards it will make! How fun it would be to win!! The magic will be back before you know it and my grandkids again be scouring the house for ‘clothes’ for their snowpeople, having snowball fights with their Papa and enjoying Nana’s homemade hot cocoa w/peppermint sticks! … ohhhhh I can’t wait!!
    ps.. Have fun in CO and if you make a snowman I sure hope you share it with us!

    Hi Michelle. Hope you will have a wonderful time with your family. But I am gonna miss your updates on your blog, those wonderful tutorials you share with us. Alas.
    My snowmen memories from my childhood are mostly that I made one in the backyard and my big brother would steal my carrot nose and put it on his snowman instead! Is it still necessary to tell you that I would love to win this supercool blog candy? Please join me in!

    I think snowmen with legs would be weird too. My favorites were when we took a scarf & a hat & dressed them up. We’d make them so big that when we rolled the ball, we couldn’t lift it up onto the bottom one.

    Thanks for a chance to win such a great set! I didn’t even notice it because I didn’t look at the hostess stuff.

    Thanks so much for offering blog candy… I made my first snow man when I was 33, it wasn’t until I moved to Colorado in 2006 which was the worst winter they’d had in over 20yrs…I loved it!!!!

    OK — Snowmen — or SnowWomen — When my sons were 12 years old (twins), they built a HUGE snow woman sitting down right outside our sliding glass doors — not only did she have legs — she also had BOOBS —

    I still have the picture of it — and when the grandsons get 12 — I am going to show them how to build a snow man for their fathers.

    I didn’t get out to play in the snow much when I was a kid, but I do remember one time in 6th grade throwing on all my winter clothes and braving the cold to play with my crush, Kurt, in the snow. The feelings weren’t mutual, lol, and I got beaned with several snowballs before he settled down and built a snowman with me. It wasn’t the best snowman, but I was sad to see it melt later that month. I doubt he even remembers the event, but to this day when I see snowmen I think of Kurt.

    I would love love love to see this blog candy in my mailbox — and in my workspace! I’ve got my fingers and toes crossed.

    The longer I live in sunny Florida, the better I like snowmen! Snowmen images are great…but too much of the stuff they’re made with is not really fun imho. Had a good time reading these entries….tfs.

    That was pretty ambiguous. Too much snow that the snowmen are made of is not really fun. There is no such thing as too much of anything made with Snowmen Images!

    Love this stamp set. When I was a little girl my parents took me to the snow only once. My dad was in the army and was in the snow and did not want to go to the snow because he hated it. Since I was daddy’s little girl, he took me. I had the best time ever.

    I did not live in a place that had snow until I was 8 years old. Unfortunately my first experience with snow was a blizzard, so no snowman building that time. I was finally 11 years old before I had a chance to build one. For years I would always have the urge to build a snowman whenever it snowed. Then I moved to Alaska. The first two years I built snowmen, but then moved on to snow sculptures and mazes. I still made little snowmen that I placed on the porch railings, but when you have that much snow (about 4 feet) snowmen seem old hat.

    My earliest memory of building a snowman was when I was around 4, my brothers and I rolled a huge snowball until we couldn’t roll it any more it was so heavy. then we made a smaller big ball for his head (no middle body bit for him), decorated him with my own scarf, mittens and bobble hat, finished with stones for buttons & eyes, a bent stick for a smiley mouth and twiggy branch arms. He was wonderful but we got told off for coming back inside not wearing my warm scarf, hat and mittens.
    A good lot of years later, when my son aged 2 then, saw his first fall of snow, I made another but he was only about 18 inches tall, as the snow wasn’t very deep, and it was much colder building a snowman than I remembered.
    I didn’t remember feeling so cold when I was a kid. I’m certain today the snow must be a lot colder, so much for global warming, either that or I’ve grown soft in my older years, lol.
    Thanks for the chance of winning the lovely snow themed stamp set.

    Oh how I love snowmen. When I was a kid I couldn’t wait to build them when it snowed. Even if I had to have leaves rolled up in the snow because there was bairly enough snow!
    To this day they are one of my favorite decorations. I always have them in my house from Thanksgiving to March!
    Such a cute set I would love to have!

    Snowman, crazy. I grew up with 5 other sisters on a farm in rural MN and it was always teamwork to build each snowman. Someone would have the base, another the head, then you have someone that would be getting the stones, coal, scarf, carror for the face & neck. Those were wonderful times on the farm and thanks for asking for a memory. Love all your work that you have and will for sure look to come to your class in MN!!
    Sincerely,
    Lynn
