For those who live and work in the Northern parts, snow and cold
are around for what seems like forever. Those in the warmer
climates can only dream about snow, snowpeople, and carrot
noses. Wherever you call home, these snow munchkins can be a joy
to have around, and a bit of whimsy when life crowds in a bit
too much.
Children and adults can build snow families right in their own
front yard with Mother Nature supplying the essentials. But
anyone can "create" a snowperson with a myriad of craft scraps.

lightweight and easily decorated snowpeople. Felt, and even
worn-out white socks that are filled and given button noses,

Several snowpeople on a window ledge with snow covered pine
cones are sometimes just the touch needed to brighten up an
area. Coloring pages offer a variety of patterns to choose from
- the country version of thin or the old-fashioned robust,
smiling, and cheerful lot.
How about greeting your guests and family as they come through
your front door or walk up your front steps? Using tomato cages
for body frames, cover with strong white cloth that will
withstand the blowing winds, and the beautiful snowflakes that
fall, and attach earmuffs, vests, and they can even hold an old
sled or set of skis for that quick-decision trip through the
woods.
You can even decorate hot chocolate with whipped topping
snowpeople, trace on cookies with icing and snowpeople pancakes
are a hit for week-end brunch. The possibilities are endless and
are only reigned in by your time and willingness to spend a few
minutes in the land of Frosty and friends. So gather up grandma
and grandpa, aunts, uncles, children, cousins, and whoever else
is within reach and start creating a whole family of snow
friends to share your wintry days, even though it might be
sunshiny bright with nary a cloud in the sky, but the fun will
just "melt" away the after holiday days. ENJOY! Arleen M.
