Some Of My Favrite Snowmen From Years Pass

This is a Tassel Snowman Ornament.  What I really like about this guy is how easy he is to make.  You just make a hollow snowman and then stuff the tassel in to give him a great wispy look.



Ahhh, Dance Of The Snow People.  I think I'm more in love with the idea that after everyone has gone to bed the all snow people made that wintry day dress up and go to a midnight ball.

Peppermint Snowman At Top A Peppermint Pillow.  He makes a great stand alone decoration.

But my all time favorite has to be these Snowman Faces.  They are so versatile, you'd never get bored playing with these guys!
Enjoy!
