I can’t believe I’m first to leave a comment about snowmen.
We always made a snowwoman to go along with our snowman. Everyone knows there’s always a good woman behind every man.
Thanks Michelle and have a safe and wonderful trip.
Snowmen… aaaaaaahhhhh, they have so many happy memories for me. Whenever it snowed my Dad would always come home early and we would build a little snow family in the garden. I sneaked a little snowman into bed with me and ofcourse it melted rather quickly, my little sister got the blame for wetting the bed, I never let on! naughty naughty!
thanks for the chance of winning some great blog candy
Oh snowmen are CUTE!!!
The best thing about a heavy, wet snow is that it’s great for making snowpersons!
I always felt that we were like snowmen all bundled up in those snow suits. At times we had to roll the snow throughout most of the yard to make the base just the right size. I do have to admit that I’m one of those snowmen lovers that keeps one out all year long. Thanks for your generosity.
Ooohhh, Michelle! I can’t tell you how much I love snowmen! These are just adorable!
I love snowmen! We always had a yard full of them when I was a kid. Where we live now, the snow is wrong for snowman making, so its pretty rare to see one.
The taxi’s waitin’ and blowin’ his horn, I hate to wake you up to say good-bye…… I love snowmen. I have an obsession with snowmen stamps and kkep getting more! They are just so cute. We usually bundle up with the grandkids and make a snow family on nice winter days; not many of those in Wisconsin, usually soooo cold. LOL but they look so cute! Kathy Eddy
my favorite part about making snowmen is going inside to drink hot chocolate afterward!
Snowmen are the winter version of teddy bears.
Hi Michelle,
I just love your work and hope to attend a workshop next year with Nancy and Gayla.
I love snowmen because they have a cold nose and a warm heart.
thanks
Pat
Hi Michelle
I haven’t had the opportunity to make a snowman but my daughter did recently on a school trip to New Zealand and she said it is not as easy at it looks. I hope I am lucky in this blog candy as you are drawing it on my birthday and that is the same day that my daughter will be having an operation in hospital. Have fun in Colorado with you family and the brayer workshop.
Cheers,
Mae
Snowmen are so amazing… I grew up in Michigan, and made many the snowman/woman. My poor son, is growing up in South Carolina - oh the horror of warm weather! Haha. Well, every year in January/February, it snows for about 2 hours generally just for one or two days. My son and his father go out and make the saddest snowman you ever saw. He melts before dinner.
SNOWMEN ARE COOL!
I have memories of being very cold while making strange-looking snow people. I’d much rather stamp them than make them from snow!
The last snowman I made smoked a cigar and held a golf club! He was too cool…..lol. We rarely get enough snow to build one so this was really fun!
Hey Michelle,
Been checking in! Love your tutorials - as you know.
Anyway… what I love about snowmen? Hmmm, I like to do them on cards, but unfortunately don’t get enough snow in this part of NC to build too many.
Hope to win some blog snowmen!
thanks!
MM
I love your work–Have you ever thought of coming to Canada? How about Winnipeg? I’d help you make all the arrangments.
My son made a snowman in the backyard by the tree. I called me husband before he got home and told him to go move it to the back door before he came in the house and the kids knew he was home. So, he did. My son is still freaked out about the snowman that moved to this day and he is a teenager now! Love them
Thanks for the chance to win!
We would always build a snow family as there was always lots of snow in the winters of my childhood! Thanks for the chance to win this awesome set!!!
The greatest thing I remember about snowmen when I was young, was all I had to do was walk out the front door to make one. Now I have to drive for 2 hours to get to the snow. We always competed with our neighbors for the biggest one! Thanks for letting me play!
Beth
Snowmen, like Gingerbread Men, don’t last long around my house. Hey, its TEXAS! I did spend some time as a child in Kansas and they know about snow there. We would make snow forts and build snowmen to guard the entrances. We were never allowed to “tunnel” into the snow as it was dangerous so we’d make terrific walls and mount Snowmen along the tops as guards.
I LOVE snow, snowmen, snowflakes, skiing etc! I have tons of great snow memories, but one of my favorite snowman memories is when my kids were little and we were outside making a snowman - it was the perfect wet snow (typical for the Canadian west coast) so we made a HUGE snowman and used the lids from bingo dabbers (my aunt gave us a bag full for the kids to play with) to make his face and buttons. He looked great, the kids had a great time and got lots of great pictures with the kids all bundled up and pink cheeked! We always come in and have hot chocolate and popcorn after, even now when they’re 14 and 18 but I have to drag them outside with me!
Will miss you while you are in Colorado but have a Great time. Once I was having a Winter Scrapbook class and I had no pictures taken yet so my daughter went out and made a mini snowman on the picnic table for me to use on my page.
Hope you have a t’riffic visit! As a kid my sister, brother and I always built a snowman in the front yard … and a huge snow fort. We were friends with “Frenchie,” who plowed our neighborhood; he’d drive the plow down each of the cross streets and pack a huge hill at the bend that our house was situated on. Thanx for the trip down memory lane, inspiration, AND blog candy opp!
Love what you do and visit often. Hope you enjoy CO. I am in Montana and it is beautiful here now so, I’ll bet CO will be similar. My worst snowman memory was when my nephew finally came to visit from La and it had snowed so little that our snowman was black and white from the mud.. we laughed but it was really ugly.
Thanks & Hugs,
Phyl
Have a great time in Colorado.. hopefully the weather is nice while you are there.
Enjoy your visit with your family.
Karen is right.. snowmen shouldn’t have legs.. just a big ball at the bottom!
~ Pam
Well Michelle at the moment I am not too happy about the thought of snowmen as here in Calgary we have just had several days of below freezing weather….way too early for that I must say…although the grandchildren certainly enjoyed making a few snowmen.
Have fun in Colorado…they might have snow too!
Anne
Snowpeople remind me of my Grama. She collected them in all forms. Makes me smile to remember.
I love snowmen and would love this set. Thanks for all your wonderful ideas.
We ‘do’ snowmen here at our place!!! My kids each make their own..
One of my favorite memories is of when our dogs were younger, and one
would steal the scarf and hat and carrot nose of the snowmen!!! It was a daily ‘where are the snowman’s parts’ hunt!!!!
And this set is adorable! My daughter and I would LOVE to share it:)
Have a great time in Colorado! Love the snowmen and their accessories. Please enter me in the blog drawing. Thanks!
Since I have gotten older (just a bit), I am not able to go outside and play in the snow!
But, I do love snow cream - does that count?

Snowmen are my favourite on Christmas cards. I think it is all the white in them that pops off the card and makes them so bright. I love it when they have scarves or hats, etc to colour in with pastels. So much fun!
Well, I love ALL snowmen/women; but when I was a kid, when my kids were kids, and when my grandchildren were kids they truly made more snow forts than snowmen. Every year since my grandchildren were very little, it has been tradition to go sledding in our back yard (we are on a very big hill) and play in the snow. I have so many beautiful pictures (always the best ones for the year) of the kids (all the grown ones also). In my family, we are all kids no matter what our ages. I enjoyed reading all the posts before mine, but felt really sad to think that there are some who don’t even know what it is to play in snow.
Aloha, oh, I love snowman. I have a couple of stamps of Snowman. I always dream of seing a real snowmen - Hawaii does not have the “real” snowmen. I’m came from the Philippines and there’s no snowman there either. I hope one day I would be able to go to a place where it snows and see those snowmen.
Michelle, please enter me in your drawing. I love snowmen and make atleast one every winter. I don’t know exactly why, but it has been one of my favorite things since I was a kid. Now that I have a newborn son, I can’t wait to make snowmen with him.
I just love snowmen! I have been collecting snowmen for years, including stamps.
Every year I have to come up with a differnent snowman theme card. My friends wait for the yearly snowman card. This set would be a great addition to my snowmen collection.
Snowmen are the staples of my winter cards! I would live to win this set; it’s gorgeous!
my first memory of snowmen was being stationed w/ my father in germany as a 4 year old. lots of snowmen………………………………
I have been collecting “persons of snow” for years now. I even had a snow person nativity scene, until I broke one of the key statues! I have so many snowman stamps I would not have to buy another set for several years, and still be able to make a variety of holiday cards!
Thanks for offering this wonderful set!
This is a cute set, & it has 2 of my favorites!! Snowmen & snowflakes. Thanks for the chance to win this stamp set! Beth
I hope that we get enough good snow for my girls to make a snowman this year. Last year we really oon got freezing rain and any good snow we got melted before the kids got home to enjoy it.
OH MY these are ADORABLE, I have SO many snowmen around the house, They come out after Thanksgiving and stay out until Valentine’s Day! I would LOVE to add these cuties. And the Memories
as kids we couldn’t wait for snow! We made everything from giant rabbits, to cats on trees and forts. Oh to be young again. Now I will be able to go help Grandson then come in for cocoa and cookies. Mmmm.
Thanks for the chance to win this great set. hugs…
I Love Snowmen. Frosty married Crystal by the way! Thanks for the chance to win.
My memories of snowmen is soggy mittens, and the smell of soggy mittens drying in the house all winter. My mom was a knitter so we never got to buy those nice waterproof mittens the other kids had on those fancy little clippies on their jackets, no, mine had LONG crocheted strings that ran around your neck and inside the sleeves of your jacket. But since they were wool too, they stretched so that by the end of winter you could almost drag your mittens on the ground when you walked with them hanging out of your sleeves.
Have fun in Colorado and don’t go on any balloon rides!
When I was little my mom would make chocolates. I remember one time taking some of the wax and making a snowman out of it. I kept that wax snowman for years until he was put in the attic and unfortunately he melted.
You are a very creative lady, I can tell you also like snowmen.
My grandsons in Wisconsin like to receive my cards and pictures of
winter including snowmen. Thanks for a chance to win the stamps.
Have a great time in Colorado.
Hi Michelle,
You always have such wonderful blog candy. I would so love to win this set.
Your blog is so inspiraional, and I am so glad to have met you at Tina’s Fall fest back in NJ!
Thanks
Growing up in Northeast Ohio my best friend and I would stay outside for HOURS making snowmen! Sometimes one big one; sometimes a family of them. I have the greatest memories of winter fun making these “pals”. I would love to win the blog candy snowman set!!
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!
When I was a kid, I loved to make snowmen. Now I collect them, and love to decorate with them at Christmas. Thanks for the chance to add to my collection!
Hi Michelle
i would love to win this great blog candy.
Snowman are great!!!
Roos-Mary
I love the big carrot nose, It’s not really a snowman with out it.
Christine
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!!
I LOVE making snowmen, snowmen stamps, snowman kits, etc. Snowmen are fun and this stamp set is too cute!!! Have a fabulous time in Colorado and if it snows while you’re there make a snowman for us!!!
I just love Snowmen. My christmas tree is nothing but snowmen. Love your work
Vickie
I LOVE snowmen! Thanks for the chance to win such awesome blog candy!
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 love Frosty the Snowman show on TV. It takes me way back to so many wonderful memories. Have a safe trip. Cynthia
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!
Hi there! Happy and safe travels to you! Snowmen are one of my favorite parts of wintertime. They are so cute! Thanks for the chance to win!

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!
I can’t tell you how much I enjoy your web site and all that you share of your gifts! Thanks ever so much!
Hi Michelle!
I’m with Karen….snowmen SHOULD NOT have legs! The best snowmen in the world are the ones in Calvin and Hobbes. They are terriffic!
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 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.
I live in San Antonio, Tx
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!
Thanks for the chance to win!!!!
Donna Lee
I love glitter and snowmen look so cute with glitter and the wonderful snow paints that are available. I love the stamps where you can create your snowman. Thanks for sharing your beautiful work
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!
I love snowmen and now that I moved to a cold weather state these would be just perfect. Thanks for the great ooportunity to win such wonderful candy!
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 love snowmen! My favorites are the simple ones, stick arms, carrot nose, and eyes, buttons and the big smile made from pebbles.
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.
Great giveaway. My favorite memories of snowmen are the fun my kids have every year making snowmen. I think I have about a billion pictures of them and their amazing creations.
I remember them being very big when we made them as a child …..
Sandra
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.
i love snowman
i remebember the winters when we play whith my sister
lovely remembers
quel bonheur ces souvenirs d’enfance.
I LOVE snowmen, but I am rubbish at making them. In my defence it doesnt snow much here!
Cazx
I remember making snowmen with my father when I was a kid and I miss those moments every winter. He passed on almost 10 years ago now and it still like it was yesterday.
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!
Ohhh, those snowmen are so cute! Thanks for the chance and have a nice trip!
My snowmen need to be nicely rounded and have a good jolly look to their face. I love for snowmen to have a knit scarf and a top hat on. I agree with Karen—my snowmen cannot have feet.
I loved making snowmen with my kids when they were little. The best part is coming inside by the wood stove and drinking hot chocolate!!
Hi Michelle,
Great blogcandy this time. I’m lovin it!! Hope to win……..
Thanx for youre great weblog that give us so much inspiration.
oh I love snowmen, they are so cute!!
Thanks for the chance!
Have a great journey in Colorado!
Hugs from italy!
Mony
I have always loved snowmen. Great reminders of playing out in the snow as a child. Now I take my grandsons out to build snowmen. I would love to be the owner of that set.
Wow. So cute stamps. Please count me in. And good travel.
So cute. I really like it. I have co-workers who are crazy about snowmen. And now I know why. Thanks. Have a great trip.
Hi Michelle,
Oh how I miss snowmen !! Guess I could make a “sand”man here in Florida - LOL !!! Thank you for the opportunity to own this great set. Have a wonderful time in Colorado - it’s beautiful there this time of year !
Hugs and Blessings,
Ann U.
Holiday, FL
Michelle, 10 days and no update
.. I love your blog so much.
But thats not the question.
I love snowman, because they are thick and cute
Just like my husband *lol*
Have a great time in Colorado!
Annchen
Have fun in Colorado! I got married out near Denver, and spent several days in the Rockies. Beautiful country!
And I would love to win the snow buddies! They are just too cute!
I live in an area with plenty of chances for making snowmen but now my kids have grown. I am looking forward to the day I have grandchildren and I can spend time with them making snow friends. Enjoy your trip.
My favorite memories of snowmen, well, living in Alabama snow only comes very rarely, but there was one July, yes July, before my grandma got very very sick, we stuck togethter like glue did everything together, anyway it snowed in July and we got out together and got as much of the snow up as we could and built the BEST snowwomen on our block there wasn’t any snow left in the whole yard and she lasted for 3 days, we took pics and everything, I treasure that day and the memories of my grandma she had a blast that day..Oh how I truley hope to win this set I adore it
I didn’t grow up around snow, but have had my fair share since living in NJ. But I do remember making a snow man with my husband and children. I believe that was out Christmas picture that year! It’s amazing that kids love snow so much!!!
I love snowmen!
Being from the frozen north, making a real snowman was lots of fun-but I love making a snowman on a card so much more.
My sister absolutely loved snowman and since she is no longer with us, every time I see a snowman I think of her and it makes me smile! Also I think snowmen are adorable, I’m just not totally obsessed like she was…lol!
Building snowmen and freezing your butt off doing it, is my greatest memory. Because with that comes the hot chocolate and the warm fire!
Snowmen and snowangels hold a big place in my childhood memories. We would build a snowman with even an inch of snow, we’d be so excited the white stuff was coming down. My fondest memory is when my children were very very small. We had a really deep snow, too deep for them to go out. So I held them all up to the window to watch their Dad go out in the yard, then fall down, arms spread and make a big snow angel. He just laid there beneath the 3 feet of snow and didn’t get up right away. They all cried, thinking he was gone. I had to open the window and shout for him to stand up to show them he was ok!!

I don’t have many memories of snowmen since I grew up in a part of the country where it snows only about once every ten years or so. Now, I have built several with my children, and they always have a great time. For some reason the part that sticks out in my mind is all the dirt and debris that gets stuck when you roll it up.
Thanks for the chance to win some snowmen that won’t get dirty!
Snowmen are cute, cold, cuddly, cold, characters, cold, you get the idea. And I could never get the head lifted up to put on the body. They always were too big, filled with leaves and debris also. My boys would destroy them once they were made. “But Mom, they are the enemy and we have to destroy them.” As cute as snowmen are I am not looking forward to another winter. But when they were able I loved watching snowmen just soak up the winter sun and you could just feel them wishing they would not eventually melt.
thanks much
I love gathering things in the house with my 2 sisters to go outside and make the best snowman ever. We would spend hours making a whole snowman family just like ours. It was the best. Now days they have kits in the store with eyes and noses etc. the fun was using things we could fine. Things always change. Thank you so much for the chance to win this great set. Have fun with your sister!
When my kids were little, we lived in a town home with a super tiny yard. DH created this huge snowman. We could not figure out what to use for eyes, so he went into the garage and found great big metal washers. When the snowman melted, we could not find them. In the spring, the mower found them and messed up the blade big time! OOPS!
My favorite thing about snowmen is helping the kids build them, They always have so much fun!
Last year we built a snow cave and put the rest of the snowman on top, Lol the kids played in the bottom part.
Have a safe flight!
I am thrilled that you are thrilled about coming to Colorado because I am signed up for Broomfield!! I am so looking forward to meeting you.
I LOVE snowmen. I grew up in South Dakota and when it snowed, it hung around. So we could make a snowman (or snowwoman or snowpuppy or ….) and it would survive for weeks. I now live in Colorado and it snows, then melts - so my poor children aren’t as into snowmen because of all the work to see it wilt almost immediately!
Oh, I will miss your inspiring posts! I leave Central Kentucky for Texas on October 29th and will not have computer access for a week. Love your work and have a wonderful time in the beautiful mountains of Colorado. Thanks for an opportunity to win this cute set.
I have a small collection of snowman figurines. I try to get one every year. I also have quite a few snowman stamps. I think I like snowpeople
This snowman set is really adorable and I’d love to win it!
Oh, I just love this stamp set. Snowpeople are my favorites, ever. If you pick me, I’ll be the happiest snowpeople lover in the whole wide world. Please pick me. : )
Oh - love snowmen! I decorate the house with them during the holidays, and then keep the snowmen up until February - that way I don’t feel a “let down” after I pack up the Christmas Tree.
And, I don’t like snowmen with teethy grins. I think it makes them creepy.
I love Snowmen and thats how I decorate most of my house for Christmas! Snow is better inside than out LOL
I enjoy making snowmen but alas I haven’t since I was a child, having moved from Chicago to San Antonio at the age of 7. I sure wish it would snow here just ONCE so that my 6 y/o and I could make one! It’s a great stamp set… thanks for offering it up and have a fabulous time in Colorado!
Michelle this is a great snowman set and I would love to win it, I love snowmen and when my children were small it was a family thing to build a great snowman. You know this really brings back memories. Thanks for offering another great set, you are very generous. Have fun in Colorado!!!!!!!

I remember the best part about making a snowman was the “rolling” of the balls for his body … my siblings and I would roll, roll, roll until we couldn’t move the ball around anymore because it was SO BIG - or at least at a young age it seemed as much to us! Then we would start on the middle ball and I can remember all the heave/ho and giggles we endured in order to get that ball on top of the base. Sometimes it would roll off and break and we would have to start all over again - but that was the fun of it.
hope you have a wonderful time, this is great blog candy.Thanks for sharing

Snowmen have fond memories! Growing up, the first snow meant snowmen with my brother and sister. My mom would bundle us up in our snowsuits(we looked like snowmen ourselves) then we would go out and we would each try to out do the other. Once we were done we would go in with more snow on us than we left outside and my mom would always have hot chocolate with lots of marshmellows. I did this with my daughter, but of course being the only child she had to have me help her and then we would go in for hot chocolate. She is 16 now and still thinks the first big snow is snowman time, which is great because then i get to spend some time with my teenager and as all of you know that is a difficult prospect.
Enjoy your family time in beautiful CO! Love it there! Love snowmen, but not the weather that comes along with them!
A beautiful time to be in Colorado! Have a great time. Please include me in the drawing for this really cute set!
I actually have a thing for snowmen.. all because the movie… Frosty the Snowman! I remember loving that the holidays were coming near because I know it would play on TV and my brother and I would LOVE to watch it and everytime we had we acted like it was the first time we saw it… I am so happy that they have con’t. to play it because NOW I get to share it w/my kids and I crack up because they oohhh and ahhh right in the same spots I did as a kid..
I love snowmen but unfortunately in Texas rarely have the chance to build one. I fondly remember collecting snow from three of our neighbors yards to build a snow man that was only about a foot tall and he melted within a few hours. One of these days I plan to hop in the car and drive North until we can find a place with snow so my son can build his very own snowman!
Hiya Michelle! I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE snowpeople! I am however the world’s worst snowman builder/assembler! I just love to ride down the road though and see all the sweet snow faces other more gifted snow people builders have made! Really enjoy your blog! You are quite an inspiration!
Have a safe trip!
Snowmen. Ah, the joys of winter. My family was always adamant about making them as soon as there was enough snow…but I was always REALLY picky that there not be a snowless trail anywhere NEAR our snowmen…so I always had my dad pick up the massive snowball so that we could position it where we wanted it and I wouldn’t have to stare at the snowless spot! We decorated our snow men with the hodge podge of winter items which had lost their mates! So it was where the random single glove or mitten ended up! And we didn’t always have a nice carrot for the nose, but a banana works just as well!
I’m hoping this year that my son and I will be able to make a snowman in our typical Kentucky snow…
I’d LOVE to win this set…but never have very good odds with random drawings! LOL!
Hi Michelle
Living in snow country and making snowmen in my youthful days, I love snowmen. I can hardly wait til you have a class up in the NorthWest and I am planning on attending. This snowman set will be the icing on the cake for me.
I just loved making snowmen as a child and still love to drive by a house and see a freshly made one in the front yard. Especially, when they decorate it cute with carrot nose, button eyes, and stick arms. I just love winter anyhow and am anxiously awaiting our first snowfall.
I am soooo jealous … can I hide in your suitcase? I love the snowman - wish I had ordered this set myself, but … Thanks for sharing your talent - I look forward to your emails to see what wonderful thing you’ve created this time.
Have a good trip!!
I LOVE SNOWMEN…..almost as much as I LOVE your website!!! Please pick me, pick me, pick me!!!!!
Thanks for the opportunity to win a great prize AND I get to enjoy your beautiful creations!!!
Have a wonderful trip!!!
Living in Wisconsin ~ snowmen are a part of winter months & fun for all ages! I would love to win the snowmen stamp set!!!!!
hmmmmmmmmm, its supposed to snow here tonight….
cute set
My children love to make snowmen when it snows here in VA. They try to copy the snowmen from the comic strip “Calvin and Hobbes.” They are hilarious!
it’s a wonderfull kits. i hope so win this kit.
Oh, I agree with your Upline - legs on a snowman are just creepy. I’m a traditionalist - tophat, carrot nose, coal buttons, twig arms. :0)
I was never a big fan of Mr. Twigster so I love these new snowmen.
Oh…have a fantastic trip! I would love to have this snowman set!! of course I have other snowmen sets but this one
it just calls to me. I’m hoping to host a weekend workshop with you here in the Greater Seattle Area.
I LOVE snowmen! I collect snowmen and display them during the winter months. Being from (sometimes) snowy NC, snowmen are near and dear to my heart.
So, what’s not to love about a snowman? In fact, my snowmen may be the only perfect men I’ve ever had in my life. I just love them (with or without legs)! I remember when school would be closed because of snow and I’d be home alone all day. I’d stay outside in the snow until I was so cold that I could barely move. I’d build snow families and surround them with snow angels that’s how much I love them.
Hi, Michelle! Love your blog!! About snowmen…I have always lived in the eastern side of Kansas..so snow can vary alot from almost no snow each year to the several inches we received last year. What I love is that the neighborhood has several children and we always have many snowmen in our block to admire. Lots of fun to see kids at play.
Hi Michelle! I miss the “big” New Jersey snows of my youth. Of course, they were not as big as the snows in many other places, but at least we could make snowmen with bits of leaves and dirt in them like we have done here in Maryland in recent years past! I love snowmen, but hate it when they are dirty and leafy!!
Growing up in Texas I didn’t have much opportunity for building snowmen! But I do love a good snowman - although my favorite are still the ones that Calvin built in the Calvin & Hobbes comic strip! :>)
what yummy blog candy…love this set!! my fave memories of snowmen would have to be that as a kid growing up on a farm, we would build snowmen on the top of a big hill in our front yard. We would spend the whole day sledding down the big hill and playing in the snow. Being the baby of the family, I didn’t get to do much of the hard labor, but I helped out here and there…basically got told what to do. But, it was a great family time together and then we’d go in the house and mom would make homemade egg nog and we’d get warm by the wood stove.
thanks for helping me conjure up those warm, fuzzy memories. 
have a great time in Colorado with your sis!! I’ll be thinking about you!!
Hey Michelle!
My sister collects snowmen so I am always looking for snowmen for her. Now, of course, when I think of snowmen I think of her and she is a wonderful friend and sister so naturally I LOVE SNOWMEN!
Haven’t built a snowman in years. Our excursions always end up in snow ball fights which are so much fun!
Happy Trails! Enjoy your visit!
~Hugs~
m
Have a wonderful time in CO.
I can remember, the first snowflakes my sister and I would see falling, we would race out of the house and try to catch the flakes with our hands and tongues. No coat on and barefoot!!! Later in the winter, we would build snowman AND snow angels, then come in for hot chocolate.
I so like seeing all your cards and tutorials. . .thank you, for a chance to win this set.
hugs and Prayers, Inkyhive (Wisconsin)
I do love snowmen, but not snow! being from AZ and a desert rat, I was probably 8 or 9 the first time I saw snow. mom and dad took us up to the snow one year. we were sooooo excited! I got out of the car and it was COLD!!! back in the car I went! my brother and sister made snow men, but not me. I wasn’t going to get any colder than I already was!!! LOL

Snowmen have a special place in my heart year round and I have snowmen out all the time. My favorite snowman is one I made out of sugar feedsacks from the 1920’s. I tore stips and wrapped them around a papertowel holder after padding it with quilt batting. I painted eyes, nose and a mouth, added small twigs for arms. Then I used a torn piece from one of my sons favorite shirts (he had long since outgrown the shirt) for his hat. With his shirt as a hat it reminds me of all the wonderful times we would build snowmen together. Thank you for letting me share one of my cherished moments.
I love snowmen. When we lived in Montana hubby would always build us a big snowman after the first big snow. Sure do miss the snow now.
This is a very cute stamp set. Thanks for the chance to win it!!!!
Let’s play in the snow? Take me back to a time when you played in the snow and came in after to a hot cup of cocoa. Ahhhh…..
Hi Michele;
It has been a few years since I have “built” a snowman, but I do have a vivid memory of the last one I did. It was just a small one because there was not a lot of snow - but it was my grandson’s first snowfall that he was old enough to get excited about and he and I had a wonderful time making and dressing that little snowman.
I hope I win the set so that I can “build” him a snowman on his Christmas card.
Lynn
Wow. lucky you for getting to spend some quality time with your sister and family. Those little snowman would look good on my Xmas cards. Thanks
I like snowmen - never really thought much abuot snowmen with legs , bu t guess they don’t make much sense, now do they?! giggles!
living here in NE Ohio, we get plenty of snow for making really good snowmen. my faves are the ones that Calvin and Hobbes used to make! so very funny!
Snowmen are just the cutest! Here in the Chicago area we can get snow anytime - my daughter was born on MAY 5th 1989 and it snowed on MAY 6th!!!! I devote my entire living room to snowmen during the holiday/winter season. Everything comes down and my entire snowman collection goes up and stays up until the last snow falls. I am constantly accumulating more snowmen and this set would be just perfect for me to make my holiday cards. Usually I send a photo card of the 3 kids but my oldest just moved to Texas and won’t be able to be in the picture. So this year I’m doing a holiday letter to be included in handmade cards. I better get started!! Thanks for letting me share! Hope to see you again in Illinois! I see you added Elk Grove and that’s even closer than Wheaton - but can I wait a whole year to see you again??
I was born in Charlotte, NC and we never got enough snow to make a snowman. When I was 10 we moved to New Jersey and I got to see real snow. I loved it (still do) and I got to make my first snowman. I was so proud. I still have the urge, 46 years later to get out there and build a snowman. Oh, and I agree, snowmen should not have legs, watch the movie Jack Frost with Michael Keaton, he gets around just fine with no legs, lol. Thanks for the chance for some great blog candy. Have a safe trip and a fun class.
Hope you have a great flight and I know the class will totally rock!
My favorite memories of making a snowman was having all the family together and creating a fun snowman to show off on the block. We would always be running in and out of the house trying to get the perfect items for the snowman to wear. Thanks so much for a chance at this adorable stamp set.
As an child and adult in northern NJ and now Michigan , I have made many a snowperson. One of my favorite memories was when my penpal from Australia visited us . She had never seen snow falling or played in it. She had so much fun playing with my boys, and making snow angels with them. I’ll always remember her smiling, but frozen face when she came inside for some hot cocoa
This would be a wonderful set to win. I would send it to her as a fun memory of that special visit.
Hi Michelle,
OMG! I love snowmen! In my younger years back in NYC my brothers and I used to make snowmen and dress them up with our own clothes. LOL! My parents will get upset because we always used our best clothes. We don’t get much snow here in Virginia so unfortunately, my son hasn’t experience making snowmen. Wow, that’s making me sad just thinking about it. We are going to have to fix that this winter before he get too old to appreciate it. Thanks for reminding me of some great times. Liz
Ohhh! I would so love to win this awesome stamp set!!
I love your blog and all of your fantastic tutorials! Thank you so much for inspiring us all!
I love snowmen—round, tall, any kind! Living in Minnesota I see a lot.
I still remember one snowstorm when my brother and I were quite young. My father made a snowman and an igloo for us at my grandparents’ house. I’ve never made a real snowman myself! Enjoy your family time and thanks for the chance to win your blog candy.
We’ve only been able to make a couple of snowmen here in MS, so when we do get the chance, we go all out…top hat, cane and all! If only he would hang around for a while! ; )
Hope you enjoy your trip!
There is just something about snowmen that I love. Maybe it is all the memories of building them as a kid and the joys of playing in the snow and sledriding. I moved away from Kentucky to Pensacola, Florida for 4 months then to Okinawa, Japan for 3 1/2 years. So that was over 4 years of not seeing snow by the time I moved. Then we moved to Minot, N.Dakota where we get an abundance of snow
It was so nice to see the pretty sparkles of the snow glistening as the light hit it. We have already gotten snow a couple times this fall.
I don’t know it is just something about the cool weather and the memories that flood back of when I lived with my Mamaw in Kentucky and all the joy she brought to my life. I miss her alot and think of her often. Sometimes I wish life could be simple again and go back to being a kid that just builds snowmen and plays in the snow with no real worries.
Wonderful set, I would love to win this. Yes Colarado is a beautiful state. we use to go all the time when we were kids there for our family vacations. Susan
One of my favorite memories of snowmen is the Raymond Biggs movie “The Snowman”, one night a snowman comes to life and take the boy on an adventure of a lifetime to the North Pole. It is a beautiful movie.
My fond memories are of the “Snowmen & Snowwomen” that my friends and I use to build on the streets of New York City. When I was a little girl, we always had a Blizzard or two over the course of the Winter. But alas, NYC doesn’t get that kind of snow often enough anymore. Here in upstate NY, my son and I build a family of Snowpeople every Winter! Have loads of fun on your trip! :o)
I just always wonder why my snow-made snow people never look as nice and even as the ones in this adorable stamp set!
Snowmen are so cool! I made many of them in my youth. It didn’t snow much where I grew up in SC but when it did snow it was usually a good one.
Hi Michelle,
I hope you have a wonderful time in Colorado. I have memories of building snowmen with my mom and dad in Tahoe every year. My parents were middle-aged by the time my brother and I came along and didn’t have a lot of patience for playing children’s games, but they would bundle up and get out in the snow to go sledding and building snowmen with us. Those are some of my fondest memories.
Take care,
Wendy
I judt borrowed a snowman set to make Red Hat cards for Christmas. I would love to add this set to my collection. I enjoy all your daily blogs and you are an inspiration to all us stampers. You make it all look so easy, and it is, just by following your directions.THANKS !!!
I love snowmen and have been collecting them for years. But when Christmas rolls around, I usually put out a selection of my collection so it’s not too overwhelming!
I have great childhood memories of making snowmen in the yard with my brothers and sister.
OMG! How lucky you are! Have a blast! Colorado…beautiful!
I am a SNOWMAN FREAK! And I am really hoping to get this set! I love it!
Thank you for the chance to win!
Here in WI, every year a landscaping/snow removal company builds a giant snowman (I’m talking probably 50 feet tall). Ginormous. It’s so fun to drive by it every day. Hopefully this year, I’ll find time to stop and take my boys’ picture in front of it.
Have a wonderful time in Colorado…I came here for a vacation in 1988 & ended up moving here! Thanks for all of your great inspiration & tutorials!
When I was a kid in Ohio, it would snow so bad that we couldn’t get out the doors on the bottom level of the house. Why we would let an opportunity to build a snowman be hindered by a little blizzard? We went out the windows in our bedroom & built a snowman family on the roof! Needless to say, it stays cold for long periods of time in Ohio, so our snow family stayed around for almost 2 months! Thanks for reminding me about this…great idea for cards for my family to see if they remember this, too!
I want every snowman that I see, they are very addictive to me. Tall, thin, fat, short, what’s not to love.
It probably all started with the really old frosty the snowman with Burl Ives, who doesn’t love that voice.
Thanks for all the inspiring ideas.
Donna
I am totally addicted to snowmen. I have to buy myself at least one each year. My mom helps support my habit as well by finding me some unusual snowmen. I would love to win this set, thank you for the opportunity.
Debbi
Michelle, that is the cutest set. I love snowmen and he would be a great addtion to my collection of snowpeople. Please enter me in the drawing. Thanks for a chance to win the blog candy….it is tooooo sweet for words!
I remember making a snowman with my older brother, I looked up to him, and wanted to be just like him. When he told me how to gather the snow, if followed every direction. He just stood there while I got colder, and colder and got this BIG mound of snow right in front of him. I though we were going to start to work the mound, but I was wrong…I was tired and wrong. I had just made this pile of snow that he used as his personal pile of snow ball material….and most of them were aimed at me….I had just supplied the brat with all the snow he needed to put me down…and finally I was face down into the remainer of the pile….I never quite trusted him after that. Thats for the walk down memory lane…
Hi Michelle,
I have only made a snowman twice in my life. I live in San Antonio, Texas and it just doesn’t snow here. Once it snowed when I was about 10. It was great! It snowed all night and I got to watch it with my dad. Great memory. In the morning me and my siblings went outside to build a snowman then came inside to warm up with hot chocolate. The next time it snowed I was in college but I still made a snowman with my siblings. Being together is what makes all these memories great. I would love to win this snowman set.
Hugs,
Genny
I love snowmen! Please enter me in the drawing. Candy is always good!
My biggest memory about snowmen is that it never seemed to be so cold when we were kids and making them! Now that I am older (and making them with kids/grandkids), it is TOOOOO darn cold out to really do them justice! (same with Beggars’ Night — we were NEVER too cold to keep going!) Ahhhhh, youth!! Really cute set of stamps — thanx for an opportunity to win them!
When I was a kid, we would spend soooo much time outside….any time of year….In the winter there was sliding, skiing, building snowmen, snowforts, etc…the snowmen always stood in front of the snowforts, protecting them…LOL…a lot of the children of today don’t know what they’re missing!
I love the snowman set! Looking forward to seeing ideas. I am new to your site and am looking forward to learning!
I love to LOOK at snowman … through a window … and I love to stamp with snowman images, but I don’t love the cold weather required to create ‘em in the front yard!
Thanks for all the inspiration, Michelle … and for the chance to win this adorable SU set!
~Hugs, Deb
I used to live in MI, but now live in SC. We went back to MI a few years ago and they had a late snow that we were able to experience with my oldest grandson, Noah–we were even able to make a snowman before it melted. It would be fun to win this blog candy–ty for the chance.
First of all Winter time is my FAVORITE season. It always has been. I have so many good memories of winter time. Anybody that knows me knows I love the snow. When winter hits I love to make snowmen and snow angels.
The girls on Kota’s wanted to see a picture of me making snow angels. I was right out there in the snow and my hubby took pictures to share with them. And Snowmen stamps has to be my favorites! I’m 53 years old but I’m a big kid at heart when it comes to winter time. Like most people that get outside in the spring and summer, I’m outside a lot in the winter time. Thats when I love to be out in my yard. I know I’m not normal hehehehehehe
When the first snow starts to come down I’m right there with my cat looking out the window. Or when my son was little we both would lean over the couch starring out the window at the snow coming down. Then go outside and bulid a snowman.
I have memories of my grandmother taking me outside to make snowmen or just go for a walk in the snow. The winter time has to be my best memories I had as a kid growing up. And still are with my grandaughter.
Thanks for the chance of winning this awesome snowman stamp set.
My kids like making snow animals. I always love watching them and take LOTS of pictures. This set would be great for that. Hope I win!
Well, having lived in Northern New York for almost 60 years I’m pretty intimate with snowmen…..LOL. Nowadays, though, I winter in Florida and can’t say I miss the real thing. I do still make snowmen cards for my northern friends though so I would love that snowman set….thanks for the chance to win it!
Thank you so much Michelle for all your help and inspiration! Your e-mails & cards “Make my day”! LOVED your “Leaves on Fossil Rock” and had to case it immediately! Thanks for such GREAT tutorials all the time!!! This snowman set is GREAT! They are so cute…growing up in Michigan…snowmen were our main entertainment from Dec.-March. Our neighborhood had contests all winter…largest, smallest, cutest, best dressed, worst dressed, coldest, warmest, fatest, skinniest…you name it we did it!! What fun! Thank you for this give-a-way! Hoping I win!!!! Have a safe-wonderful trip!!!
Three years ago my Mom had fallen and broke her hip and was in the hospital. She was in FL and I was In VA and couldn’t get there for a while. So we had a big snowstorm so I made this huge snowman and then made a sign for him to hold saying Hi MOM, I Love You!!! I took a picture of it and emailed it to my sister who printed it out and took it to the hospitalin a frame. My Mom loved it and it made her cry she said. So that was my snowman memory and would really love to win this set to use on a memory page with that picture of the snowman and my Mom. Thanks for the chance.

Growing up in Alaska we couldnt wait for the first snow wet snow fall, so that we could make our snowmen (people). All the neighbor hood kids would come out and play to make their own little snow people. Of course the sad part was when the neighborhood bullys would come by and knock them down. But it was lots of fun to make them.
Although I love snowmen as a design element, I never really got into making snowmen as a child. I am NOT a cold weather person, even though I grew up in Iowa (I now live in San Antonio, TX!). I spent as little time as possible outside in the cold and I hated it when my mittens got soaked from the snow — thus very few real snowmen in my lifetime! But my sister and I exchange snowmen-related gifts each Christmas and this stamp set definitely would be put to use. Thanks and enjoy Colorado (and the cold weather — brrrrrrr!).
I grew up in the desert. Most times usually didn’t get enough snow to build snowmen. One year I think I was about 4 or 5 we lived in a 2nd floor apt. There was a walkway between the second floor apts and none of the snow had melted. So me and my mom gathered all the snow we could and make a dwarf snowman. LOL I was about the same height as the snowman. We put my tea cups for his eyes and noes and my scarf hat and gloves on sticks. LOL We took a picture of me and my mom with our fabulous snowman. It’s still one of my favorite childhood pictures. Very cute stamps. The caps and scarfs remind me of that snowman so long ago melted.
This set is so cute!! I love snowmen….but it is hard to do snowmen in Arizona, especially where I live….We don’t get much snow in this part of the country and if we do, it doesn’t last long. But I love snowmen and snow related Christmas cards!!
OMG snowmen my house is overrun with them. I collect snowmen. Any kind. Ceramic, stuffed, you name I have it. They stay on display all year round as I love snowmen and can’t bear to put them away come spring. I would LOVE to win this set. It would look so good in my stamp room and best yet—-I get to play with it too! Keepin my fingers crossed you pick my name.
I love snowmen — and especially loved watching out the window as my kids made them. They would come in all pink-cheeked and cold, smelling all fresh. As the mittens dried, we would have pretzels and hot cocoa - loved those days!

Michelle-
I love any kind of snowman… with legs, without legs…. dressed or naked. I think they are all cute and friendly looking. My kids love making snow man. We will have it in our front yard for day or two and boys will look at it from the window with funny comments. I hope I win this beautiful set. Have great time in Colorado.
All the best, Olga
I would love that set, please enter me in for a chance to win and you have a great time with your sister. Mine moved away so we don’t see each other nearly enough. It’s important quality time-good for you. How nice you can mix business and pleasure. Your blessed Michelle. I’m happy for you.
Have a fun trip & pick me for that cute snowman set, wouldja;)
What a cute snowman set. I usually don’t do “cute” but this set has such potential.
I remember when I was a kid, my brother and I used to love to make snowmen. We lived across the street from a huge park that had the best skating rink in the city!!! So winter was always full of fun for us. We weren’t big veggie eaters in our house, but there always seemed to be carrots in the veggie drawer, but they were always limp and beginning to have “sprouts” coming off of them. We didn’t care, they made great noses for the snowmen. We also used charcoal briquettes for the buttons on the chest, and big twigs for the arms. I can’t for the life of me remember what we used for the eyes and mouth though. I live in WI…and now that I am “old” (46), I hate the snow!!! But, I have an 8 year old daughter who loves to make snowmen, just like her Mommy used to. It sure brings back memories of simpler times. Hisses, Rockin Robin Caldwell
I LOVE snowmen - legs or no legs! (Sorry, Karen!)
I have always been drawn to snowman stamps, paper, ribbon, rub-ons, you name it - I LOVE em! Must be my childhood calling me back - have built my fair share of them over the years. Therefore, an opportunity to win this set is SOOOO much appreciated - please, please, PLEASE pick me???
I like baby faced snowmen, and snow famlies. I really enjoy your cards, Thanks for the chance to win this set.
When I was younger my family moved to Maryland for a time and during the first snowfall, my brother and I were out making snowmen and having snowball fights. My mom came out and got onto us because it was 4 in the morning. The sky was so bright that we thought it was 11ish at night. We had such a good time that year. Thanks for the chance to win this set and for making me think of that wonderful time.
Can you believe that I don’t have one snowman set? and I love snowmen!!! Thank you so much for the chance to win this adorable set. also thank you for all the time you take with your tutorials. They are fantastic and I have done several.

Hi Michelle,
I was born and raised in Chicago. We had LOTS of snow. And I always loved to make snowmen. When I was about 5 years old, my Parents gave me a snowman snowglobe. I carried that around with me all the time, summer, winter, fall, it didn’t matter what time of the year. Mom found out I was taking to school every day, and she made me leave it at home….she said it was glass, and if it broke someone would get hurt. So I drew a picture of it and carried it to school with me. Something about snowmen made me happy. I have collected Snowmen ever since. And …all my friend are really flakes !! I would love to win this set. And I would also love to see you work your magic, and make a card wit this one……Thanks for being so giving !! Debbie Neuman
I remember when I was about 7 years old building a snowman in our back yard. I had just heard the story “The Littlest Snowman with the Red Candy Heart”. I cut out a heart from red construction paper and attached it to my snowman. It just so happended that a photographer from our local paper was in our neighborhood and was taking pictures of the fist major snowfall of the season. I made the front page of the paper!! I would love to create this little snowman again. Hope I win!! Thanks for the chance.
No snow in Florida - at least not my area.
However, I collect snowmen ornaments.
Would love to add a snowman stamp set!!
Thanks for the chance to enter.

One of my memories about snowmen and building them was rolling the snow to make huge balls, and seeing green grass paths throughout the front yard where we had done the rolling. My mom always had buttons for the eyes and mouth and a carrot for the nose. We always built the snowman in the same corner of our yard, as our dad made a skating rink for us every year that covered most of the back yard. Oh, what pleasant memories! Lin
We don’t get a lot of snow here in Maryland — the challenge when making a snowman is usually finding enough snow! We tend to make dirty snowmen — picking up grass and leaves and sticks as we roll along — but we still love them! Thank you for the opportunity to win this adorable stamp set!
I have finally purchased a brayer but am still just a little scared of it! Your tutorials make it look so easy - thank goodness! This is my first year to make our Christmas cards and I had not decided on a theme - snowmen would be so fun! Am continuing to watch your schedule - hopefully you will have a class close enough for me to attend - beginner brayer class of course. Thanks for all the ideas and tips - you have really boosted my creativity.
I love seeing snowmen and all the different ways make them! I still make them with my nieces and nephews - then come inside to a hot cup of cocoa with marshmellows!!
Thanks Michelle!
Hi, Michelle! Have a GREAT trip! Love the blog candy, so please enter me!
I grew up in New Orleans, so our snow men were few and far between, but I have a great picture of me about 12 years old making a snowman — the hilarious thing is that you can see the grass is bare, because we used just about every snowflake that fell on the lawn to make that snowman!
Thanks as always for your beautiful and inspiring work!
hugs,

My fondest childhood memory was ….. all the neighborhood children would gather in someone’s yard to make a snowman family when we were out of school for a snow day. ((((LOVED those by the way)))) then when we were finished we would flock to someone’s house for some bubbly hot chocolate with lots of marsh mellows on top. Then later on we would go back out and build a snow igloo. SOOOO MUCH FUN. I miss those days. Love this Stampin Up set. Way tooo cute. THANKS for the chance to win them, Becky
Michelle, I am so bummed I will be missing your Colorado workshop. I see you are coming again next year and hope to meet you then. In the meantime, you inspire me every single day with your cards. I would love to win this stamp set.
I grew up in Las Vegas so snow was rare. My beloved memories are making snowmen with my grandparents in Utah! They loved their grandkids and were very much hands on people. I love all you do for us, Michelle! You are truly my inspiration!
There is just something about snowmen that make winter easier to bear. I have fond memories of the huge snowmen we made as children with my parents. Now I hope my son has the same fond memories.
Thanks for the chance to win. Have a safe trip!

Memories of my brother and I making a snowman, was he decided to throw a snowball and hit me just above the eye, taking off a scab from Chicken Pox, to which I still carry the scar. Grrrr :0)
Please enter my name in the drawing for Snowman Buddies. Much obliged.
Have fun in CO. Perhaps you’ll be able to make a snowman!
I could never live where snowmen aren’t born. Lol they bring back so many happy memories for me. So I would LOVE to win you’re stamp set.
Hugs…..Diane Quinlan
I just LOVE all kinds of snowmen. There is just something about them that makes them so lovable! I enjoy making crafted (stuffed) snowmen and families. I also enjoy building the real ones with my kids! Even though here in Indiana, good snowman snow is far and few between! Maybe this year!
Snowmen seemed to be more fun when I was a kid. My son still gets me out in the yard, though, to help him build them. Growing up in IL, our snowmen would hang around for weeks. In CO, we can barely keep them for a day or two before the sun melts them away. Love that CO sunshine!
Would love to win this great set,
Niki
luv this stamp set. I would love to win a snow buddy..that is for sure
JoAnne
The best thing about Snowmen is that now that I moved from the Midwest to Texas I don’t have to see them anymore!!!! Only on paper - yayyyy for paper snowmen.

As soon as I think if snowmen, I think if the ice company that builds a snowman every year on a major intersection on Christmas eve regardless of the weather. It is such a nice memory.
Thanks for your sharing your talents and blog candy!
Growing up not only did we build snowmen but snow forts. While the snowmen were fun the snow forts were more fun.
I would so love to win this stamp set!!!!!! By the way I really< really liked the pumpkin card you just did!
Thank You,
Diane
I would love a chance of winning yr lovely blog candy. Seeing family is always a wonderful thing so enjoy your visit I will miss you and your wonderful tutorials
Love Dawn xx
Hi Michelle!
I love any kind of snowman. As a kid my brother and sisters would line our yard with snowmen every winter.
I love snowmen!! Some of my favorite memories are making snowmen with my kids!
Love the snowmen! Love the “zindorfed” cards ! Enter me! kren
what a fabulous set - please enter me into the contest. (I could go all crazy and say pick me! pick me! but that would just be childish!). thanks for the chance.
Sorry forgot to say why I like snowmen lol.
I loved building snow men when I was a child in Germany (I am English just lived there for a wee while when a child) I love the country & people very much but thie thing I love most about snow men is when you build one and get really cold you can go in to the warmth of a home and watch him from inside knowing you have done a great job!
Love Dawn xx
Michelle, I finally tried your technique (what a mess I made) and even I have to say I didn’t do a bad job for a novice! Anyway, that blog candy is luscious and I wouldn’t mind winning it!
Born and raised in south Louisiana, we never got much snow. So one year when my girls were little we had a really good snow! It actually lasted a couple days, made driving treacherous and all of the kids happy. You know, school was out and such. Anyhoo, we already had plans to spend the day with my hub’s brother, his wife and their daughter in the neighboring community (10 minutes awaY). We were supposed to have a bar-b-que. When we arrived, brother in law realized he was about of propane. So he and hubs drove to another small town over a very high bridge to get propane. When they were on their way back, the police stopped them at the foot of the bridge. He told them the bridge had iced up and if they crossed it was at their own risk. They made it! When they got back those three little girls with two pairs of socks on each hand and each foot and all the layers of clothing we managed to pile on them, had created two little snowmen, in honor of their dads. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it!
Come by and check out my BLOG CANDY!
Oh, I LOVE Snowmen! Especially small short cute snowmen with a Hat! I agree, No Legs! LOL!

Down here in South Africa where we live we very rarely get to make snowmen, but I do remember about 26 years ago, my boys were still small and we had a very heavy snowfall. Oh boy did we have fun that day, but sadly by morning the snowmen had left our garden. Michelle thanks for the chance to win and have a wonderful trip.
Really miss the snowmen. We don’t see too many in Texas and when we do they only stick around for a short time.
I just love snowmen!! I don’t know for sure what it is about them, but they give me that “warm and fuzzy” feeling!!! They are just so cute!!
Thank you for the chance to win this adorable set!!! As always, thanks for the inspiration that you always give to me!!!
Ahh, the chance to win another stamp set . . . Thanks, Michelle! I grew up in upstate NY where snow was plentiful and we must have built them all the time because I don’t remember them specifically. I do remember snow tunnels . . . now that was fun. But the snowman I do remember is the one my husband and I built together in Virgina - he’s a Texan and this may have been his first one. It was decked out in a cowboy hat with a Lonestar beer bottle hanging from his arm!
Have a great time in Colorado!! Love your blog!!
I love snowmen. I have a collection that I always keep out past Christmas - into February usually. And I have lots of stamps of snowmen, too - just can’t resist them! Like this set - it’s adorable!! My favorite memories of snowmen are all the times I watched my kids through the window as they built little snowman families in the backyard. They are always so proud of their work and I love watching them work together!
I love snowmen they are my favorite holiday decoration. When my sister and I were young, my Mom helped us make a very large snow rabbit. He was sitting up with his paws straight out and he had big ears. People would go slow by our house looking at him. I will always remember that snow rabbit!
I loved doing snowmen when i was younger and still do with my daughter. We used to always use our dad’s hats aon the snowman nd forget about them. They would either sit on the snowman until it was melted or fall into the snow and not found until the spring when the snow melted!
Snowmen are my friends! As a child I would even stick my mittens on their little twig hands. Even though made of cold snow..they always warm my heart. Warm memories of winters past! Cool blues and bright orange carrot noses. Thanks for the trip to my past childhood!!
I would love to be considered for this set. Please consider me?
Thanks,
CeeCee
I would love to win this set because I am a snowman collector!! My favorite memories are of starting with a small packed snowball then rolling it down the hill by our house with my brother. The funniest part was that the hill was really long, so by the time we got to the end, that’s where the snowman had to be built because the ‘bottom’ of the snowman was WAY too heavy for my brother and I to move!! So while our own yard remained snowman free, the bottom of the hill by our house had crowds of snowpeople all decked out with carrots and scarves!!

I love those snowmen. They are so adorable. I love just about all snowmen, I actually have a tree that is decorated with snowmen. Each year I buy another one (or two, or three, or four ect) to put on my tree. thank for the chance to win this. Thank you also for all the time you dedicate to help us learn to do such wonderfull brayer work.
Thank you so much
Michelle, my earliest recollection of snowmen (which I love!) is making one in the front yard with my mom when I was about 4 years old. She invited some older neighborhood boys to help us, and I remember being very angry that she invited someone else to help. It was a special time just for the two of us. That image stays strong in my mind. Now, being a parent myself, I understand why she did it. But to a 4-year-old, it was just not right! HOPE I WIN THIS SET!
Legs or no legs…I’ll take any snowman I can get!!!
Oh how I would love this set ~ thanks for the chance to win it!!
Being as I am from California (born and raised) there was never chances to make snowmen for me. However when I moved here to Kentucky our first winter I ‘tried’ my hand at snowman making and failed miserably! Friends of my hubby’s drove by and told him that they knew for sure that we were not from around here, our snowman was awful. We took pictures of it and thoughtfully named it our “snow blob”.
Thanks again for the chance Michelle!
Hugs,
Joani
I used to love making snowmen when I was a child. Wecould hardly wait for there to enough of the “right snow” to get into our snowsuits and build away. We’d be outside for hours. Now, I’d rather stamp snowmen from the comfort of our winter home in Florida and not be cold! Love the stamp set and you know how much I love your work from all the emails I’ve sent you! Have fun in Colorado.
Our family was visiting Yosemite Park one winter. Our very young daughter was building a snowman outside our room. She finished rather quickly. When asked how she did the job so fast, she told us she borrowed the snowman’s head from a neighboring snowman! Yes, we made her put it back.
I hope you’re having a great time. That set is so cute and I love snowmen!
Snowmen are sooo cute. I’m in California, so not much chance of snowmen here, unless I’m stamping them of course. Thanks!
We make more than snowmen with the white stuff…. snow fairy’s, snow dogs, to go with our snowpeople families we make when we get enough snow. Last winter it was NOT a problem! Have a great trip, I also love Colorado, it is a beautiful state.
S
Oh I love Snowmen. Whenever I see one I can’t help but smile. I would just love to have a chance at getting this stamp set.
Snowmen/Snowwomen, I love them all! I agree with what so many others have said….and yes I had to read them :-)….that snowmen have found their way into my heart as well. I have a snowmen/women collection in my stamps and Christmas decorations. My tree is basically all snowmen/women/snowangels of every shape and size.
I have to say tho…they have to be fat snowmen….no skinny things with stick legs…the traditional snowman!
Have fun in CO….can’t wait till you are here in OREGON!!!!
My favorite memory is my 6 year old daughter going outside to make a snowman from only an inch of snow on the ground. He stood about one foot high, only had a head and she wrapped a scarf around the ground and said he was slowly melting. I love your blog, and thanks for the chance to win that great set!
I love snowmen!! I actually have a collection of them that I put out every Holiday season and some I leave out all year round! I have collected most of Stampin Up’s snowmen sets since I started stamping in 2004, but realized on Sunday when I was trying to make a card for stamp camp (I help my demo with projects) that I don’t have any current snowmen sets and I was wishing that I had snow buddies from the mini and here you are 2 days later offering it as blog candy! Well, put my name in the hat please because I am a collector of snowmen and have to have this set!!
Thanks,
Linda Barr
Snowman are so much fun to make. They bring out the kid in everyone. I get such a peaceful feeling when I see them around the neighborhood. And my kids will ask me to join them which doesn’t happen to often when you have teenages.
Have fun in Colorado - maybe you’ll get to build a snowman or two.
I would love to win this set.
Nancy
I love snowmen but we haven’t had any snow yet this season, but soon enough.
I noticed someone in Eastern Canada (Winnipeg) is wanting you to come that way, but over here in Southern B.C. - we’d love to have you come here too…….and its much warmer.
Sure do appreciate seeing your tutorials! great blog candy!
What a great stamp set for your blog candy! Have a great trip to Colorado!
Oh, Oh, Oh, I LOVE snow and snow people and I can’t wait to see what you will create with this set.
Thanks for the chance to win this great set.
Enjoy your trip, safe journey.
The best snowman I ever made as a kid was after the Blizzard of ‘77 , there was so much snow that we made giant snowballs for the snowman body, and then they were too big & heavy for us to stack them on each other by ourselves. There were 4 of us kids trying to do it, and we just couldn’t do it by ourselves- we had to wait for dad to get home and help.
However, I think the best memory ever is the first snowman we made with our own kids. We had so much fun!
This set is adorable- thanks for the chance to win!
I was born and raised in Tampa, Fl. so we didn’t get much snow! But one year ghee it was around 1981 we have snow, real snow all of about 1/2 inch of snow! Wow, I woke up the kids, and woke up the neighbors up too! We all when outside gathered the snow off our cars (most of the snow melted as soon as it hit the ground) and where ever else we could and made the smallest snowman you guys probably have ever seen. Naturally we had to have a snowball fight! What great wonderfull memories. I live in Georgia now and last winter got to make a snowman with my new neighbors. It was a great way to get to meet and spend time with my new neighbors and their kids and grandkids. Thanks for the trip down memory lane.
I love snowmen… tall ones, short ones, round ones, skinny ones. Never met a snowman I didn’t like. I also have many fond memories of making snowmen as a child and then again when my own children were young.
I love snowmen, but have to depend on stamps. We rarely get enough snow in Louisiana to build one - usually about every 20 years! When we do, it is a special event with snowmen, snow ice cream, & photos. I’d love to have this set. Thanks for all of your tuts. Also, I agree with Karen - snowmen have no legs.
Snowmen in SC are pretty rare. It snowed enough last year for my daughter and her boyfriend to build one in the backyard. He lasted a couple of days in an ocean of green. A memory I am glad she got to make. In case you get to read these Michelle, I found your leaf card stunning. The depth you are able to achieve with stamping is incredible.
My birthday is at the beginning of november and my greateat birthday memories are when snow had fallen during the night and we would spend part of my birthday party building a snowman and doing a small snow fight before going inside eating the cake.
Me and my boyfriend just bought a house a few weeks ago and I can’t wait to go play in the snow with my nephew and niece this winter!
Veronique
My fondest memory of snowmen would have to be when my daughter was about 7 years old — she made a snow turtle (complete w/criss-cross design on its shell) and then made a mini snowman to sit on the snow turtle’s back with reins to his neck … little did I know at the time that she was showing what would eventually become a great creativity streak! She is 27 now and still loves to make unique snowmen during winter weather.
Tis the season! What a cute set. Thanks for offering blog candy. Would love to make cards with this set. Thanks Michelle and have a great trip to Colorado.
When I was little my mom would fill spray bottles with food coloring/water mixture. We would build our snowman & snowwoman, then “paint” their clothes on!
We had the best dressed snowmen in the neighborhood!
Donna
What an adorable set!! You are always so generous, with your candy and talent. Thanks…
Snowmen are my fav. By the looks of all the posts everyone else love them too! By far you always have the best blog candy!!
Thanks,
Dee
I grew up in Vermont and loved the snow (snowmen, snow angels, snow forts, etc) As a kid - winter was so much fun! Now - grown up and living in Southern California - I always feel like I’m back in my childhood when I see snowmen. They so remind me of my carefree days of childhood. Hope you enjoy Colorado!! Make me a snowman!!
What would winter in Michigan be without a visit or two from the Snowman Family. Look forward to it every year. Thanks for the chance!!
Great set–since we have snowmen most of the year in MN this would be a welcome addition to my collection. Have fun in CO!
I grew up without Snowmen nor women. In central Florida, the only ones we had were made out of styrofoam balls, but we enjoyed them. I first built a Snowman with my twin sons - we had so much fun it turned out to be a snow family.
“Snowmen” for me bring back memories of childhood, rosy cheeks and hot chocolate!
It is a beautiful stamp set! Can’t wait to see what you do with this one!
Have a great time in Colorado, hope you don’t get snowed in!!
Carmen
This is a really cute set and would sure come in handy for Christmas.
Snowmen have the fondest memories of special love ones. My friend always loved snowman, so I painted her a huge one in ceramics. She lives in Vegas now, but she pulls it out in winter. I also bought a snowman kit for my neice when she was little and she still goes out every year and makes a snowman with that little kit and takes pictures with it and e-mails them to me. She’s now 11.
Hope you have a wonderful time visiting family. Enjoy.
Southport
Michelle, I just adore snowmen brings back memories of when I was a kid in the winter when myself and my siblings would lay out in the first decent snow making snow angels and looking into the sky. Awwwwwwwww the memories of our youth. What it must be like to be a child again. Please let it snow so that I can lay out in my yard and make snow angels till they send me out to a paded cell…..LOL
What a cute set Michelle. Lots of ideas for holiday cards with this one! Thanks for the opportunity. My sweet tooth is ready for candy!!!
Jane
I hope, I hope, I hope I win. I love this set! Snowmen are just fun, whether you are old or young, they make you smile!
I love snowmen and have quite a few different stamps. I like this set because of the variety of different ways you can use it.
I like really like snowmen (and snowomen) that really round. I like to make their scarves and hats very colorful.
Thanks for the chance to win this set.
Michelle, I LOVE snowmen and snow ladies! In fact we devote our family room to snowmen during the holidays. They are so happy. Have you ever seen an unhappy snowman? I remember how much fun we had as a child in Illinois building snowmen, using our scarves for that final touch, and admiring our finished product. Moved to California when I was 12 and have to drive to the snow! I’m a real sucker for any snowman stamp, too. Don’t have this set but I’m sure it would be happy to live at my house. It sure wouldn’t be lonely! Thanks for the chance to win it. Have a great trip to gorgeous Colorado!

I love snowmen and bought a few over the years to display at Christmas. Without realizing it I soon had a collection of snowmen, that get put out every year at Christmastime. I usually leave them out until the end of January long after the other Christmas items are put away. I guess they remind me of the snowmen my brothers and sister and I bulid when we got that large snowfall. Every year my Christmas cards have a snowman theme, and this would be perfect for this year’s cards.
Michelle, thanks for the chance to win this set. I love snowman stamps, as you can make “Happy Winter” cards after Xmas if you get behind during the holidays. Donna
What a cute set. Thanks for the opportunity to win it.
Hi Michelle
When I was a child on the first snowfall we made a snowman. It’s the perfect snow to make one (wet snow makes great balls). Not too big because there was not enough snow. We were so excited to finally see snow which is not the same nowadays.
Have a nice vacation!
I love snowmen my favorite time was when my son was little he is now 24 we used to make snowmen and get out the scarf hat and carrot for the nose it was great.
I agree no legs on snomen it just does not work. :o)
Thank-you for the chance to enter your draw.

WOW! You’re so generous! Thanks for the chance to win this adorable set!!! You have a great time in Colorado with those lucky girls who get to take a class from you! : )
I like the “pieces/parts” for the snowman. I keep saying “I am GOING to try this”….and THIS time I will! Love those chilli men! Laurel
I love snowmen, but I really don’t have much of a memory of them, in Ca we don’t have snow except in the mountains, and I went there as a youngester, but never stay out long enough to do any snowman building I couldn’t take the cold on my poor little feet.
But it would do me good to get some as blog candy tho!!!
My favorite memory of snowmen was when my children were teenagers and we went out as a family and built a family of snowmen—such a wonderful time in the snow. Hope you have a great trip!
Hi Michelle! My fondest childhood memories included snowmen, and snowwomen, and kids of course! I love them. Have a great time in Colorado! Love your tutorials!
I have a small collection of snowmen–fabric, wood , ceramic etc. I display them in JAN-FEB and they make me smile. love this set and would love to win it. TIA Linda
My favorite snowman memory is watching my teenage boys and their friends through the kitchen window making a snowman that ended up being at least 10 feet high. I baked cookies and made hot chocolate in between taking pictures of them laboring over the second and third layer.
I love snowmen! They are absolutely one of my favorite to use for cards! Thanks for the opportunity to win this adorable set.
I love this set! I loved making snowmen growing up and miss it (we don’t get much snow in Arkansas). At least I could make snowmen cards
Thanks for sharing!
My most pronounced memory of a snowman is when my brother made a huge one for our front yard. The neighbor came over and knocked off its head. Well, I was going over to teach her a thing or two and learned quite quickly that a warm house and cold weather don’t mix well with glass. I accidentally put my arm through the glass porch door as I was trying to shut it! After many tears and stitches I had an eternal reminder of that snowman!
Thanks for offering the blog candy. That set is adorable!
When my DD was about 5 she decided that we needed a snowman so we worked together and made two little fellows. Then she decided that they couldn’t be naked so we found hats and scarves and mitts for them but she couldn’t figure out how to make their faces. So she decided that ketchup would make a lovely mouth. The next morning, when she went to visit, she was horrified that the dogs had been to visit and had “licked their lips off!” At least we had pictures first
The same DD is 21 years old today and last winter her roommate’s finance and his friend decided that they would build a igloo in the girls front yard. There was a big pile of snow already there so they iced it up and then tunneled out a hole and the two of them spent the night in the snow fort. They had a ball!! Although they don’t actually count as snowmen; I’m sure they felt just as chilly by morning!
A tutorial that I’ve always wanted to play along with is the snow man on skates; “Skating one last time” tutorial # 171. Here’s the link; http://zindorf.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com/2009/01/29/skating-one-last-time-tutorial-171/
But alas no Snowman with skates stamp
Here’s hoping… TFS this chance to win and a walk down memory lane.
Well, being from Mississippi, we rarely get snow, so whenever we do get to make a snowman, IT IS SPECIAL!!! There have been a few times when we get snow around Christmas. My birthday is Dec. 19, so it is really special to see snow on my birthday!! I feel like it is a special gift for me only ;).
I would LOVE to win this set - it would be special, because i never win anything!!
Thanks for all your wonderful ideas & generosity!
Sue
My most recent memory of a snowman would be of the one my grandson built with his Mom last December. He was so excited about it and just loved having his picture taken with it. He was so sad when it melted and went away.
Love the Snowman stamp set it would be nice to win it and be able to use it to create cards with my grandson
Thanks for the chance win
Have a wonderful time in Colorado
Love your Tutorials

I live in alabama so we don’t have very much snow. In 1993 we actually had a blizzard and had 12 inches of snow!!!! It was one of the few times that I can remember having enough snow to build a snowman without having to scrape around for snow.
Hi there Michelle!
I’ll be heading to Colorado myself on November 18th, I just love it out there. Spoke with my daughter yesterday who said it was 84 in Denver, looks like Frosty might melt ;{……….
I have snowmen all around my house all winter long, and a few even stay out all year, they are just such happy faces to see all the time.
Thanks for the chance
Hi Michelle,
That is such a cute set.
I love your website and try many of your projects. I can’t wait until you come to Kenova, WV. I am so looking forward to your workshop. Joyce Pacer
Hi Michelle, Have a great time at the workshop, also with your family.
I love your blog and get very excited when I open my e-mail and find a e-mail from you…….
I grew up in the Marquette MI in the (UP) and we got a lots of snow. We couldn’t wait to get out side and make snow men and angel snowman. And I still make them now with my grandchildren.
So I would love to win your blog candy.
Thanks
While I really don’t want snow–I do want your neat snowmen!! They would be so great for making holiday cards. You are so nice to give them away. Susan Z
Hi!
I love snowmen with white flower soft put n them. Plus you can make your own flower soft - go to the dollar store and buy a bag of white styro balls and just rub them together on top of a piece of plastic - it makes the little shavings - white - use glue pencil and put flower soft on snowman! Cool. If you want colored - use your re-inkers and mix alittle color in the flakes for the desidered color you want - let dry and then up on. Try it you will like it and it costs you only pennies to make your own.
I LOVE recieveing your info — so just maybe this is one you hadn’t heard before!
Delila George
Hello Michelle!
Since I live in the state of Florida we don’t have the chance to make snowmen BUT I love them just the same. My favorite memory of a snowman is the wonderful movie called “Jack” - a young boy’s father died and was reincarnated as the snowman in front of their house. It was such a great little movie. I would dearly love to win this stamp set! Thank you so much for giving us a chance.
Have a GREAT time teaching your workshop and visiting with your sister!
Deb
i LOVE snowmen…up here in the “great white north” i think they’re a staple in every yard…even though my children are grown my husband helps me make a snowman every year…
I love a snowman with legs! Reminds me of my children when they use to play in the snow and would come in covered with it! brings back some awesome memories! I love your website. Looking forward to what “you” do with this set! I would love to win this set! Thank you for the wonderfull tutorials that you do!
Have a great time in Colorado!
I have to agree with Karen on this one-Snowmen with legs?!
Seems kinda creepy to me as well…more like Halloween then Christmas!
No recent memories of snowmen since it doesn’t snow here (CA) but I did grow up in Canada and have MANY memories of building snowmen with my brother and sister-which usually led to snowball fights. Ah good times!
Have fun in Colorado and don’t get too chilled. My favorite snowmen are the Calvin & Hobbes’ comic strip snowmen (especially the ones where the tire tracks go through the fallen snowman or the ‘mom’ snowman has her branchy arms on her snowball hips). The artist does little vignettes that are hysterical! My DH and I recreated a few when we lived in Galena OH. Thanks for a chance to win the snowmen set.
I love snowmen. They remind me of being a kid and the holidays. Just a happy time.
What a CUTE stamp set - I just LOVE snowmen and can never resist snowman stamps! We don’t always get a lot of snow here, and most of the time when we get enough snow to actually build a snowman, he usually ends up with dead grass and leaves all over his body, but we still love building them!
Hello Michelle,
I wish your airplane was leaving for the Netherlands we had our 1st frozen night hre…so winter is on it’s way.
Snow and Snowman are my favo for a wintertime- or Xmas card. I like the ones that are all snowwy and fluffy and no sticks as arms :o)
Enjoy your classes!
Thanks for the chance to win such a cute set. Snowmen: best buttons = Oreos, best hat = Dad’s, best nose = carrot, best eyes and month = rocks, the BEST snow = Colorado’s. We use to live right next to Broomfield and now we are in NE and you are in Broomfield! Have a great trip.
This is such a cute set! I love your blog and look forward to it every day. Thanks for the chance to win this.
This is the cutest set! Thank you for the chance to win it. As always, you inspire me Michelle. Keep the beautiful cards coming, we ALL benefit from your talent!!!!
What a great set! Thanks for the chance to win and all of your inspiration.
What a great set - I love snowmen! Thanks for the chance to win and all of your inspiration.
I love snowmen in all their forms. Growing up back east gave us plenty of snow to create with; my favorite memory is when we created a snow-woman. She had long hair and was dressed much better than Frosty!!
My favorite memory of a snowman was building one with my Dad in our front yard in Boise, Idaho when I was just 4 years old. The snowballs were huge in my eyes and I
loved being lifted high into the air to help put in the carrot nose and coal black eyes.
That snowmand lasted for the longest time — Thank you Michelle for the chance to enjoy this wonderful snowman set! Safe travels - can’t wait until the workshop comes to Boise!
Michelle, hope you have a great time visiting with your family, and your workshop goes well, as I am sure it will.
I live in Florida, so I don’t have many snowman memories, but I do love them and decorate with them, cuz that’s as close as I can get down here. Thanks for sharing.

Hi Michelle…snowmen always bring back memories of one of our worst blizzards in our history of north east Iowa. Our kids went out to build snowmen because of all the neat snow..took pictures and the next morning came as quite a shock couldn’t even find the snow men that they had made.:( We had a ton of snow to build as many snowmen as we wanted, just the way the stamps are,build as many as you want to. :)Have a safe trip and enjoy……….
My grandpa helped me build my first snowman………very good memories. Hope I win the blog candy so I can build them without getting cold!
Living in Alabama and Florida, we don’t get much if any snow. So I don’t think I’ve ever made a snowman. But my mom collects them as figurines and puts them out at the Holiday time. They are so so cute and sweet. And they last forever…instead of melting.
I love this snowman set and have not gotten it. I would love a chance to win this set. Living in the south, we do not get to make snowmen very often, so I do not have too many memories of building snowmen except w/my stamps…LOL!
Michelle I love your awesome tutorials,Iam so glad to have a chance to win the blog candy.
Jocelan
Hi! I’m so exciting when i see your blog! It’s always beautiful! It’s very interesting to see your tutorials! This set is very beautiful and if i win, i’ll do some card with my nieces!
Thank you another time !!!
Hello:) Well I don’t exactly have memories of a snowman…since I’m from the south and we don’t get to make/see many. But, back in ‘89 I had the privilege of witnessing about an inch of snow…I was just three years old. Brought the snow inside, not fully understanding the concept of snow melting, and safely placed it on my bathroom counter. The next morning, when I excitedly went to the counter to retrieve my new toy…it was gone!!! I thought surely my Mom had confiscated it from me but never asked. Just thought I was in trouble and maybe she’d forget if I didn’t bring it up. Lol!
Have fun in Colorado! I can’t believe I have to wait nearly a year to hear you sing at a workshop in WA. I Peggy-Sue will being coming all the way from Canada and two of us will there there from Seattle. Bring your ruler cuz we are sometimes goofy!

Brat Cards
Our Christmas cards involve snowmen and snowflakes every year. I would love to win this and begin making holiday cards. Keep up the great work!
It is so fun to see sets I do not get excited over at first that you use in your tutorial and then I just have to buy it! Love your stuff!
Living on the Central Coast California snow is not a problem but it brings back great memories as a child in Washington state. Flying down the driveway on garbage can lids slamming into the snowmen we built at the end of the road! Great Fun!
Having grown up in Seattle where there’s not much snow, a thrill to look our and realize that there would be no school due to snow and I’d get to spend the day playing outside. The snow was usually pretty heavy so the snowman stuck together really well. Fun!!
When I was about 12, my family drove from Michigan to Florida for a vacation. On the trip back it started snowing in Georgia. Cars and semis were stopped all over the side of the highway - literally bumper to bumper - because nobody could drive in “all that snow”. There wasn’t even enough snow to cover the grass, but we saw many kids who had gotten out of their cars and were making (or trying to make) snowmen in the tiny bit of snow that was there! Of course, being from Michigan, we weren’t impressed with the snowfall at all - it was just a dusting as far as we were concerned. But I’ll never forget how excited all those kids were; making what was probably their first (and only) snowman.
Oh, and the George State Police were stopping traffic and not letting anyone through - until they saw our Michigan license plates… then they just waved my dad on. No problem for us!
My favourite memory as a child on the East Coast of Canada was making a snowman with the biggest snowballs ever! The bottom ball size was determined by how heavy the ball got without rolling it so much in one spot that it started to pick up grass! LOL!! It’s a technique you know!! One year that darn ball got so heavy it rolled back on me and I was stuck! My dad had to come out and rescue me!! Snow men have always been my favourite but not with hats…I like them to have scarves and mismatched mittens on their limb hands that I stuffed with snow so they would stay on! I guess you can tell I love my snowmen…a lot!
Thanks for the opportunity to win! Have fun on your trip! 
my memories of snowman….hmmm COLD DAYS!! watching my kids go out for the first snow thinking they can make the biggest snowman ever….them wanting hot choclate cause their cheeks are so rosy…… I would love to win this set! Thanks for candy blog.
No legs, huh? I can’t remember how old I was but my brothers and I made snowmen and then snow forts behind each snowman. Then we ‘bombed’ each others snowman. First to knock it down won. Kept us busy and out in the cold all afternoon, probably to my mother’s delight! Have a wonderful time in Colorado. You could have snow out there already. Enjoy!
I can only dream of snowmen since I live in sunny Florida but I would love to have the set. Thanks for being so generous.
Love the cute snowman stamps. I haven’t made one for a couple of years but what I love is that even when the snow all around melts the snowman is still standing there for days.
My favorite snowman memory is making one after the first good snowfall, then hurrying into the house for a cup of hot chocolate to warm up
I’ve never been a “snow bunny” even though I grew up in the snowy and cold midwest. I’ve been eye-ing this set, wanting to have a good “basic” snowman set in my stamping repertroire (did I spell that right?). Anyhoo, have a great time in CO! It’s nice to be able to do what you do. Thanks for the chance to win this set.
Love these snowmen, from Colorado originally - I just like snow. You have beautiful work. Thank you,
Susan
I just love this set it reminds me of when I was young, my Family and built a huge 10 ft snowman in the front yard of my uncle’s home and it came out in our home town paper..It was amazing how we all worked together with our tractors and friends to make such a cool snowman…
“don’t know when I’ll be back again!” Ohhhhhhhhh, I am so jealous. We did a cross-country road trip to visit family in California and on the way back we went through Colorado. LOVED IT!!! So beautiful!! In fact my desktop pic on my laptop is from Dillon, Colorado. PS….this song is stuck in my head now!! THANKS!!!
Snowwoman are the cutest. Have a blast in Colorado.
Thanks for the chance to win that adorable stamp set!! I’ve never ever won a blog! Your work inspires me!
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.
I make all the greeting cards for our church & the snowman set would be so cute for our kids! I make 8-10 cards a week & love it! Thank you for your cards - I’ve made many of them for me & for our church! Joan
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!
Ellen
I really love snow people
My favorite memory was as a child. When all the families got together and we all build snowmen. I can remember doing alot as a child with families.
thanks for the chance to win this set.
My husband makes a snow family with the kids every year! so I have great memories of snowmen for the past five years and our snow family keeps getting bigger! I would love this set and put it to good use.
growing up in Southern California i didn’t have snow memories till i move to Colorado.
my kids loved building snow men…. the ground looks so nice just after its snowed.. love the look hated the driving.
Hi Michelle
I love snowmen stamps and absolutely love your tutorials and all your pics.
You are absolutely too creative and a wonderful artist. Thanks for your sharing.
Kathy Johnson
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!
Oh, these snowmen would be SO happy in my Stamping Room! Please, oh please, pick me!! LOL…
Love your images and faithfully look for them every day.
Please enter me for a chance to win, love the set!
These guys are adorable and I love all these stories about snowmen! I have lived in the midwest all of my life, and I still really hate the cold and the snow!! But, for some reason, I just love snow and snowmen for holiday decorations — snow is so beautiful and snowmen (and snowomen!) are just so darn CUTE !! Thanks for the blog candy Michelle !
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!
Kathy Kunnemann
I only like smiling snowmen!
Hi Michelle I would lovee to win Snow Buddies. When you were at the Castro Valley Store in California I sure wished I could have been there at least to meet you. Maybe you will be out this way another time. I see Elk Grove ca. it is about 50 miles from where I live. Good luck in Colorado Jackie
That is so adorable,,,,yes, please enter me in for the chance to win the snowmen.
Enjoy Colorado
Love this set! Please pick me! Thank you! L.
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!
thanks for the chance to win these gorgeous men. Our fireplace mantel is decorated in snowmen each winter. Love them!
My kids always loved dressing the snowman in a scarf and finding just the right twigs to use for arms. Thanks for the opportunity to win a snowman!! Can’t wait to meet you in Nashville!
I love snowmen no matter with legs or without because I live in snowmen country also - wonderful Colorado and right near Broomfield - was going to take your class but it was all filled -
Have a great visit - maybe I’ll run into you while you’re here. Thanks for the blog op!
Love the set! Thanks for all of your inspirational ideas and tutorials!
Have a great trip and enjoy visiting with friends and family.
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!
Can’t wait to meet you at the brayer class in Colorado.
Hi Michelle;
Thanks for the opportunity to win snowmen. Enjoy your family reunion but know we will miss you. Pam
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.
Very cute snowmen! Its almost that time of year again!
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.
Smiles,

Snowmen/women make me smile everytime I see one being made! Because the adults are smiling and playing just as much as the kids! I miss my kids wanting to make snowpeople!
I am always sad to see snowmen melting when it gets warm out.
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.
Making snowmen always made a bleak and dreary day something to look forward to.
I absolutly LOVE Snowmen! These are sooooooooo cute! Every Christmas I put out all my snowmen, everyone else has santa’s but not me!! Love this set! Thanks
LindaAnn
Snowmen are so cute. I love watching the grandkids play in the snow and make their snowmen. This stamp set is just great, it’d be awsome if I won it!
Kate
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!
I love, love, love snowmen of all shapes and sizes! They are even my favorite holiday decoration…can’t get enough of them! What a cute set. I would love to win! Thanks for the chance. Terri
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.
october 29th……??!!!! We can’t miss you that long you know!!
But…count me in for the snowmen! I love snowman in real and in stamps ;o) So it would be nice to have those in my collection! My fingers are crossed!!
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.
Alexandra
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
Great stamp set, hope I win. Thanks for sharing your cards with us.
I grew up in Texas, and the first time it snowed in my lifetime I was too little to remember. But I remember my second snow experience — I was in about middle school or highschool and school was out due to the storm (it was a wimpy amount of snow for anyone who is really accustomed to it, but for Texas it was a “shut down the city it’s a blizzard!” kind of moment). I made a tiny snowman with what snow I could, he was lopsided and not more than 5 inches tall and we were so excited. It got a little warmer in the day but he didn’t melt all the way. But because he melted a little and then refroze he became almost a solid mass of ice. We tried to kick it and someone hurt their foot! So snowmen to me are always a symbol of resilience (and irony) lol
Thanks for the chance to win!
I love all your creations and I am so excited for you flying off to this wonderful place to spend time with family……..have a great time and sign me up for a chance to win this super cute set, please.
I loves me some snowmen:) Growing up in the southern Ca area I didn’t get to play in snow until my children were little and we moved to Colorado. I LOVED it. We made lots of snow families and had lots of sled races! Now I am a desert rat and am content with seeing snow on the television, I know I’m a wimp but just hate being cold:) I prefer to get my snowman fix with rubber stamps and all the porcelin ones I scatter through my house during the holidays!! Have fun in Colorado and if you have a minute and are so inclined could you hug an Aspen for me?!!LOL
Oh I love snowmen. Anything with snowmen ( stamps, paper, decorations, stuffed, sweaters, shirts etc) As a child I couldn’t wait for the first heavy snowfall to make a snowm,an. I also bundle up my four daughters to go out to build snowmen.
SNOWMEN ARE WINTER TEDDY BEARS I would love to win this stampset !!!!!!!!
Thanks for the chance
Snowmen evoke happy memories for me of my childhood and my kids’ childhoods. I think of proud children with rosy cheeks standing triumphantly beside their finished snowmen. Where we live, snow happens only once or twice a year, so it’s a time to celebrate and build a big snowman in the front yard…a snowman that’s superior to any other snow people on our street!
I adore your work and home that someday I will be able to attend one of your workshops. I image they are awesome! I would love to win this stamp set … thank you so much for the opportunity. Most importantly, I hope your trip is wonderful. Enjoy!
Thank you for the offer. I hope you have a great time in CO. I love anything with snowmen. I have lots in my holiday decocations. I grew up in Atlanta and now live in Orlando, so I have never really made a real one for myself and hope to still do that one day. Have a wonderful week!
Love snowmen and the best memories are of making them with my sons. One memory of a snowman was when 2 of my sons were older and made a snowman as tall as the roof. Only problem was they made it in front of the carport and yes it had to come down so dad could go to work. LOL I have a scrapbook page of one of them hugging the snowman. It was so funny and big!
Hope you have a prosperous and wonderful trip. Thanks for the chance to win the blog candy.
Have fun with your sister and don’t forget about us. (your fans)
thanks for so many ideas.
You are sooo good to us!!:) I was just wishing for that stamp set.I will wish harder for the next day or so. Thanks for your generosity.
Ahhh, snowmen- as unique and special as each one of us are!! My favorite memory of snowmen is from a few years ago when we could not make the family get together in California. It was a tough health year and I while I was getting much better I was really frustrated with not being able to travel yet and was doing the “Bah Humbug” routine around the house- not a pretty sight thinking back on it. My dear husband was acting a bit strange and I kept wondering what he was up to- I looked out the kitchen window to see
him happily making his 5th snowman that morning!! Yes, indeed- he was creating this little snow family for me so I would cheer up. Even named each one of them after a family member. It was a really sweet thing to do, especially knowing how much I love snowmen and my family. Safe and beautiful travels to Colorado!!
lol…well I cant stand legs on snowmen either! but this set is so cute and yes, just in time I might add! I wish I could attend your workshop in MI, but I have a huge conflict..total bummer but hope you return another time…I just think your tutorials and cards are the bomb! TY very much for always sharing so much..make it look easy ! and give a shout to my baby boy at the USAFA! Enjoy your family visit too…wish I was there too! xo Cher
forgot to talk about snowmen! We have great photos of our kids and snowmen over the years…amazing how the first ones looked …and then the masterpieces lol…ours get all dressed up …just hafta embellish! Cher
My first stamp set was Snow Angels…I would never sell this set…but on cards I really like snowflakes over snowmen. Hope you have a great trip to Colorado. Thanks for the chance for your blog candy.
I have to say living in Northern California I really have almost NO memories involving real snowmen. However, I DO have an EXTREMELY fond memory of a Christmas Snowman. My dad had a plastic snowman my whole childhood about 3 and a half feet high, his name was Frosty. For some reason I just loved Frosty. So when I grew up I had to have my own Christmas Decorative Snowman, and I do. It’s not plastic and it is about 5 and a half feet tall, but it is named Frosty too! It makes me so happy! It is make of I guess you would call it wire and then tinsel and lights with a hat and scarf. I saw it at Costco one year but my husband said at $80 it was too expensive and I was CRUSHED. The next year my dad gave me $100 for my birthday and I knew EXACTLY what I wanted to buy. (My birthday is December
So as I went to EVERY SINGLE store within maybe a 25 mile radius that would carry that kind of thing I never found the right “Frosty” However as we were passing the fairgrounds on our Frosty hunt I had to pee REALLY REALLY bad and begged my husband to stop at the Christmas Tree Farm that had been put up at the fairgrounds so I could pee, and he did. On my way out of the bathroom, what did I see? The EXACT Frosty from Costco the year before. The VERY SAME ONE! He was for sale!!! I guess you could call him used if you call used taken out of the box and put together used, but I got him for $50 because of that. Now is that Fate or what??? I call it a Christmas miracle!!!! Thanks for the chance for the super cool stamp set Michelle, I LOVE snowmen, always have, and collect anythind snowmen, especially cookie jars!
It does not snow often enough here to make a lot of snowmen. When it does they often have green grass and dirt sticking out of them! We also like to make other creations - not just snowmen. We try to make forts, snow pigs, snow horses etc.
I love snowmen… they are just so happy. Once I made an entire army of them as a kid! Thank you for the chance to win!
I love snowmen but we dont have them at winter been in New Zealand its is our summer. So we make them in th mddle of the year. please enter me.
I also don’t get snowmen with legs… or with the third body part!? Maybe a sign of me being a lazy snowman builder!!
I love snowmen - THE best part of a heavy snowfall…. though my son now goes for igloo building too after the snowman… it’s great he’s out in the garden for hours!!!!
Growing up in Seattle we hardly had any snow, but boy when it did snow we kids thought it was great, for the city would shut down for a couple of days and there would be no school. So out to the yard we would go, making as many snow forts, igloo’s, snow angels, and snowman as we could. We had to do as much as we could in those two days because then the snow would melt and go away for another couple of years. It was a blast and whenever I think of snowman I think of those fun days.
Would love this set. As always, thanks for sharing all your great work.
Where we live (southern (central) Tennessee/northern Alabama) there is NO snow (only ice) so we don’t get to have the pleasure in building snowpeople/families. Just have to be content with those on paper or statues. Please enter me in your “candy contest” so I too will have some snowpeople stamps…I love the ones you are giving away!!
Snowmen, they are magical. When I was a young girl we very rarely got enough snow to build an appropriate snowman, but we always did our best, and we always wanted to build the snowman that would last the longest in the neighborhood. I don’t remember if I ever won that contest or not but had loads of fun trying.
Thanks for the opportunity to add this stamp set to my collection. I would be honored to use it.
Sincerely,
Dianna
Unlike a lot of other commenters, I live in the Far East of Canada so we see a lot (too much) snow!
However, I loved playing in snow as a child, and now I have two children of my own who can’t wait for it to snow, so I have learned to embrace the Snowman
Great giveaway, thanks!
Alison
Ooohh — one of my favorites of the new sets! I would like to be entered too, please!
Thanks so much for all your wonderful inspiration.
A comment about snowmen–my first snowman my husband and I created when we moved to North Carolina, was created on our back porch of the apartment. He was about 2 feet tall, and had raisins for eyes, a pretzel rod (piece of one) for a nose, and an old ball cap. We dug around for rocks and acorns to make the smiley mouth. He was so cute and tiny!
Great blog candy. *crosses fingers*
Snowmen and women (LOL) just make me smile. They remind me a being a kid and loving snow. Running outside and making snow angles, then making snow men. Snowball fights, snow forts and sledding. Then going inside where Mom would make hot chocolate for us. Snow, to a kid, was a good thing!
R/
My favourite thing about making snowmen - accessorizing! You can’t have a snowman without the hat and scarf and everything else!
I would love to win them!
I love snowpeople because they are fat, like me! I especially like snowpeople with sweet faces, just like the ones in the set you are giving away. I would love to have it. Keep your fabulous tutorials coming; I have loved them all.
Hi Michelle,
I really enjoyed your workshop. Thanks for the chance of winning the snowman set. Its really cute.
I wish we got more snow around here. The last good snow we had was when I was 5. I barely remember it. I’m sure there was a snowman but I couldn’t tell you anything about it. I would love to have a good snow this year so my son and I could build one.
Enjoy your trip! Thanks for the blog candy!
Memories of Snow Men? I grew up in Sunny Southern California. However when I was a child I came out to MN to my grandparents farm a couple of times. We all know it snows a lot out here, I’m currently in MN, and I do remember making a snowman when I was a child but most of all I remember how cold it was! Nothing like a cute snowman stamp set to make winter come together and I would love to win that adorable set - please pick me!
As always your cards are just beautiful. Please include me in the drawing.
Thanks for the chance to win this set.
I remember the great snowstorm of 1979 in Virginia Beach when a predicted 2 inches of snow turned into 3 feet. It was wonderful - many new, round, white residents appeared in our neighborhood and stayed for longer than anyone would have thought possible during March in Virginia. What fun!
Another fun set I would love to win
Many memories of building snowmen, always w/o legs (egads! a snowman with legs??? no 
I grew up all over the place, but mostly in Virginia. We didn’t get snow much, but whenever there was a packable snow, I built at least one snowman in our yard. Now I live in Oregon where it’s even more of a rarity, but we had great snow last year (even a white Christmas!) and me, my husband, and our three sons all got out and built a whole snow family 
Cathy Brandt - just saw your comment. I remember that snow! I was in Springfield, VA (northern Virginia). I have lots of pictures of that snow and remember going around with a ruler measuring how much snow was everywhere. We were out of school for two weeks because of that snow
I remember making snowmaen as a child and how exciting it was to see snow falling. I am sorry for kids today as they don’t seem to enjoy the simple pleasures. I very rarely see a snowman now. That is why I have to recreate them in cards!!
I’d love to win the Snowbuddies set. I remember getting tons of snow as a kid and building snow families! The good Old Days…. Enjoy Colorado!
I love a snowman. They can be all shapes and sizes, legs or not. My favorite is the traditional, three graduated snowballs, a top hat, three black something for buttons and eyes, a carrot for his nose, something to put a smile on its face and a scarf. We built many a snowmen growing up. Now my favorite thing about the snowman is watching my grandson play and build their own. What fun! Thanks for a chance to win this wonderful snowman set. Have a wonderful class and a great visit with your family.
Your snowman set is adorable michelle…thanks for the blog candy offer…
i have great snowman memories…
growing up…i lived on a main street in our town..and the bus stop was right in front of our door step..(or as we “city” kids called it…..our “stoop”..)
we were a gang of l kids…like the little rascals..always playing on the sidewalk..and in the street…
The snow used to be as high as the parking meters after the street was plowed……and we would build snowman families and igloos right where people would get on and off of the bus…
people getting off of the bus would comment on our snowmen…and we would all giggle…
what great memories..
Thanks for leading me to remember such a nice innocent ..sweet…fun part of my childhood…

(ive got candy on my blog too michelle…so come and visit)
Snowmen are the bestest thing about snow! As a kid (I live in FL now so no snowmen for us!) we always tried to outdo each other and make the biggest snowman… My brither is 9 years older than me so he could always make the biggest one but it was fun trying! I never thought about trying to put legs on a snowman, when making one out of snow or on paper! Hmmm, I may have to try that, just to see of course! Wouldn’t want to upset Karen! LOL Thanks for the candy! The stamp set is adorable! Enjoy the trip to Colorado!
I love building snowmen with my granddaughter.
I love big round snowmen. I actually think they are all cute. Thanks for the opportunity for a chance to win this adorable set.
Angela
Hmmm, my favorite memories of snowmen? Well that would be when I am stamping them on cards! Silly, could there be anything else?
I LOVE snowmen! During the Christmas season I decorate my house with Santa’s, elves, stockings, and everything Christmas. Then, on January 1, I put all my Christmas decorations away and get out the snowmen. I have boxes of them! Painted snowmen, stuffed, squishy snowmen, glass snowmen, snowmen that light up, wooden snowmen, snowmen pillows, snowmen pictures, snow ladies, you get the idea! Do I need more snowmen? YES, INDEED. I would love to be the owner of this stamp set. Thanks for the offer.
Thanks for another chance to win….and for sharing all your talent! It makes it worthwhile to check my e-mail!

Michelle, I just finished making tutorial#271 - pumpkin patch, thanks to you for the wonderful instructions it turned our just the way it was supposed to. I would love to go with you to Colorado, I just love, love, love that state. I envy you the chance to see this wonderful country of ours state by state. Thank you for the chance to win the blog candy also. Thanks, Linda
I loved building snowmen as a kid, somehow the snow itself has gotten colder over the years:). I can’t wait to see what YOU will do with this set. Thanks for the chance.
What a cute set! Thanks again for the constant inspiration!
I am not very agile or mobile because of disability, so I have never really participated in building snowmen. However, I have a wonderful husband who is just a big kid inside! He loves playing in the snow! When we were foster parents, he built snowmen and had snow ball fights with the kids. I love watching the youthful side of him come out!
Enjoy Colorado, I hear it is beautiful. My memories of snowman are when our children were little. If we got enough snow to close schools, we would go out and build a snowman complete with scarf, hat, coal eyes, sticks for arms. You get the picture. And of course having sons, they built forts or igloos. They were such wonderful memories. Hopefully we will have enough snow this winter to build one with our grandaughters.
Wonderful memories of snowmen in Michigan and Ontario. Loved the hat as a finishing touch.
I like the idea of snowmen but the reality is too wet and cold for me! Here in Victoria, British Columbia, we hardly ever have enough snow for snowmen and I’m happy about that.
OMG Snowmen are my very, very favorite thing about winter! I have a whole snowman display during the month of December to help me ring in the new year! Pick me, pick me!! 8-}
Michelle,
I just love snowmen. They are a holiday staple with me! I can remember building snowmen with my sisters and making that bottom portion so big that it took all of us to move it. And then again for the next portion, to get it to the top!! What fun we had in the snow as children. Thanks so much for your generosity!

Hi Michelle,
Oh this snowman set is adorable. I grew up on the NorthEast coast and we always had a lot of snow in the winter. We always built snowmen and ice caves. One winter my brother Joseph built me a snow dog and my brother and that snow dog are among my favorite memories. My brother passed away some time ago, but every winter I think of our smiles and giddyness over that cute snow dog
I would LOVE to be entered into the contest!! This set is AwEsOmE!! I love the projects that you create! I can’t wait to attend one of your workshops!
Well - snowmen? I have no experience with snowmen - we don’t ever get snow - although I have to agree that I don’t think they look right with legs
I hit the wrong button… oops!!
There is nothing like running through the snow with a giant ball of snow in front of you. The excitement of placing each ball on top of each other, as we create a masterpiece! And who can forget, running through the house to find something for the scarf, the hat, the eyes, the mouth….. and the pipe!! Every winter, this is what I looked forward to as a child. Today, I look forward to this time with my kids. Our memories of making snowmen and women together are immoritalized in our hearts and our memories!!
i love snowman’s… and here in sweden, we used to have a lots of snow, the kids love it too!
And of course i want to win.
Have a nice time in Colorado and with your sister’s family.

One of my best snowmen stories happened just this past winter, we finally got snow that would stick (it NEVER snows here)
Anyway it was about midnight and the snow was silently coating the earth. I talked my DH to come outside with me and the dogs to play. We ended up making a huge snwoman with my hubby get really creative and making golf ball eyes and poinsetta garland for his scarf… very sweet memory.
Michelle,
I love snowmen!
I was in your Stoughton WI brayer class and I had a great time. I use the technique alot.
Have a great trip.
Shelley
We live in the south, so getting snow is a real treat. On one of these occassions our kids were out of school because of the snow, but our neighbor had to work. Our kids put together a snow man while she was at work and made a Happy Birthday sign for his neck and surprised her when she came home.
Thanks for the chance….I love snowmens so much
Have a great trip
Silvie
I live in the south, too, and getting snow is a real treat. in ‘93 we had 33″! We made a Dolly Parton snow lady. She was fabulous!
I love snow and snowmen. They make me smile! Having grown up in England I got to enjoy snow during the winter, but here in the valley of the sun, I can only dream of playing in the cold white magical stuff. We have to drive up north for the kid’s to be able to experience the newness of each step placed in pure fresh untouched snow drifts. Sometimes all we get is the dirty mushy melty stuff, but snowmen don’t care, they come to life anyway.I think this set is adorable!
We rarely get enough snow for snowmen, so my favorite snowman story is when my oldest son went off to college in western VA. That was one of those years we didn’t get any snow. So my son and his friend built a giant snowman on campus and e-mailed me the pictures. I thought is was so nice of him to think of me, he know how I love snow. Later he wrote a story about his giant snowman for an English class and sent that to me too. It is such a special memory since that first year he left, I really missed him.
When I was a little girl my Mom would give me “coal” for the eyes mouth and buttons for my snowmen. Boy am I old or what???
What a fun stamp set! Sign me up!
Up here in Alberta, Canada we get many days that are perfect for snowman making so it’s rare to have one particular incident stand out but one sure does for me! When my girls were little we had a house fire and had moved into a neighbors extra farmhouse. The farmhouse was set up for visiting family and they graciously donated the space to us until we could get back to our own home. The house also included one of those old satellite systems - the giant dishes that were motorized. Yes, this is dating me - I know! Anyhow, with no toys left after the fire the girls made the most of their imaginations and played for hours outdoors. One afternoon, they were sliding off the snowhill the farmer had made for them when I noticed that the satellite dish was at the bottom in the deep snow at the side of the hill. As the girls made their hundreth trip up the slope, I started the dish moving to follow them! I know, I was such a mean mom! They immediately noticed and dove to the ground. I could see them talking amongst themselves about the moving dish. As soon as they would move, I’d move the dish. This went on for a good half hour until my stomach hurt so much from laughing at them. I went to get supper ready and when I returned a bit later and checked out the window on them, the girls had built a snowman at the top of the hill to “guard” them! I moved the dish again and they hid behind the snowman and started throwing snowballs at the dish each time it moved. At supper they told us that aliens were moving the dish but that they had put a watch dog snowman to guard us all. I wish I had a camera at that time to get a picture of the scene. In my mind, I can see that “guard” as if he were here today.
By the way Michelle, if you ever want to come to Alberta with your workshop, I’d be more than happy to help you out there! And I’m sure the girls would build a “snowguard” for you!
Snowmen look so cute and cuddly. My collection of snowmen just sort of evolved by accident. One year it seemed like everyone gave me a snowman or something with a snowman (or lady) on it. Now I can’t resist adding one or two to my stamp collection each year. I’d love to add this cute set to my collection.
Hi Michelle,
I always review your tutorials and just love em!
I also love Colorado! I used to live near Pike’s Peak, and what a glorious view that was from even the back side! I miss that state, and sure wish I could go along too!
My favorite snowman memory is from my childhood where we had so much snow, my four brothers and I rolled big balls so big, we couldn’t lift them on top of the base! So we made snow animals instead! My best girlfriend came over and we made snow bunnies, and snow cats. We got so cold molding snow our hands about froze but it was still hard to go inside! We were having too much fun!
It would be so fun to win this blog candy as I am a huge snowman lover, collector, and snowman/animal maker! Have fun in Colorado!
My favorite snowman memory is from the early 80’s. My husband, children & I were stationed in Biloxi, MS where snow is almost impossible. My girls were born in Alaska, but were too young to enjoy the snow when we left. We came home to Connecticut one Christmas and the girls were excited about seeing their first “real” snow. My dad put a plow on his lawn mower and plowed a HUGE pile of snow for the girls to make a snowman and for sledding. My girls enoyed it tremendously! I had a great time watching them and even sledding. Since then I have collected snowman throughout my life and pick one up in each and every place I visit. I LOVE snowman. Have a great time in Colorado, love your site, cards & techniques. Hope to one day attend one of your workshops.
Michelle,
I can remember going to a place called Whipps Ledges being about 6 years old. There were 5 kids ranging in ages from 6-2 all bundled up in those long coats with hoods with the fake fur on them. We had scarves and matching mittens too. We had leggings and also the rubber boots that went over your shoes.
Anyway we went to this place which had great sled riding hills and were also great to build snowmen. The 5 of us rolled and packed snow to make our snowman. We each took turns adding bits and pieces to the snowman to give him eyes, a nose, mouth etc. We were so proud of that snowman. I know my parents helped a bit but for the most part we made the snowman who really stood angled slightly as though he might tip over, he had misshapen pieces stacked on one another and stick arms, but we didn’t care. We were so proud of that snowman. Wish I’d have had a picture of it.
My dad let us celebrate by going down the hill past the snowman to wave at him as we went by. We had one of those plastic boats that kids swim in. We all sat in the boat and dad pushed us down this big hill………….we went past the snowman all right, and waved then proceeded to head past trees so we had to lean to avoid hitting them. We ended up stopping by going UNDER a picnic table! My dad couldn’t decide whether to laugh or cry when we stopped. It’s amazing that we all leaned back at the same time and slid partway under that picnic table. No one got hurt!
What a wonderful memory your blog brought up for me. Thanks so much Michelle.
Enjoy your trip.
Hi Michelle,
You are so inspirational. I love receiving your updates! If you ever consider coming to Cairns, Australia. You have a small following of ladies here too. I have shared your blog with all my stamping buddies, and we share what we learn from your tutorials. We don’t have all the same stamp sets or colours as you have in the USA, but we give it our best.
If Aussie residents are included in the blog candy, please enter me.
I live in the tropics, and only dream of a White Christmas, so stampin snowmen would be fun. Thanks
My momories of making snowmen was waiting for the right kind of snow, going out and rolling balls of snow around the yard and stacking them high. Then we went to the coal bin and got the eyes and mouth, carrot for the nose, and found Dad’s old hat to use. No top hat for our snowmen! We’d go inside and strip off our jean and our legs would be blue from the jeans dye–we were tough. Enjoy Colorado. We lived in Pagosa Springs and Durango for several years.
Karen
Dear Michelle
Love this set! Many, many thanks for all that you do! You are awesome!
Lynne
You do such a great job…And I can’t wait for you to come back to New Johnsonville, Tenn!!!!!!!! We all loved you and the stuff we learned…. I did a Halloween card and they all said is this a Michelle card.. I told them no but I was inspired by you! Thanks for the chance to win the snowman stamps… I love Snow but we don’t get much here in Tenn. anymore….
How I love Snowmen! Rarely did we have snow where I grew up in Troutdale Oregon, but now I live in Utah and we usually have a tall snowman outside our door in December, at least by January! I can usually convice my children even now that they are grown to build me one. One of our most memorable snowman is immortalized in a photo, it’s in front of the Christmas tree, my dh made it then put it in a huge round cake pan and brought it inside for our two baby boys to see and play with. Fun Memories!
I love this set. I would love to win it. Thanks for your great art and blog.
Dina
I love your blog candy. Please enter me to win. One day I hope to attend one of your classes. I love your work.
Thanks,
Marion
I love snowmen. I remember making snowmen with my 3 sisters. We would play for hours–sleigh riding–snow fights–making snow angels–then drinking the hot chocolate–what fun we had.
I love snowmen! snow people! snow anything. Love, love, love this set too. I remember the first snowman my son made, he was so proud of it and disappointed when it melted. It was the greatest and I still have pictures of it. Thanks for this opportunity.
I too remember all the fun times as a kid making snowmen, snowwomen and of course snowchildren. I just hated it when they started to melt and get dirty! It is getting cold in Colorado, hope you brought a warm coat! Have fun with your sister.
Sometimes snowmen are snow animals. My oldest son made the cuties snow dog one year. He kind of looked like Snoopy. He was huge and people would stop just to take a better look. My husband and I made a polar bear standing tall. We seem to love making animals with snow. But this stamp set has darling snowmen and I would love to win this set so I could see how fun it is to make snowmen for a change.
We really didn’t take the time to build snowmen…we collected snow to make snow cream! YUM!!! (I never understood as a kid why people said…don’t eat yellow snow!) lol!!
I love the saying “snowmen come from Heaven unassembled.” Would love this set to “assemble some snowmen on my Christamas cards this year!! Thanks Michelle
Hi,
My most memorable and most interesting experience with snowmen was when we were snowed in in North Lake Tahoe. We had gone there to go skiing, but it was snowing so much that we never got to go skiing. Our car was stuck in the driveway, snowed in, since the night before it was literally a couple of inches of snow around it. My father was on top of the car shoveling down to get snow away. My sister and I, I guess, were too little to help, so we played in the snow. We went around the unfamiliar house/cabin and found a place to do our snowmen. Of course, during it not all snow we picked up went on the snowmen, some went on each other. By the time we had our snowmen there were 4 of us there - 2 full-blown and snow-blown snowmen and 2 people snowgirls. We had such fun, especially since we were from Southern California and we didn’t get to build snowmen!!!

When I was a kid we lived on a steep street and our yard had a big embankment. My brother would make snowpeople and we lined them up at the top and used real coal from the coal trains coming through town plus the coal yard. We would use old mittens or material for scarves etc. Since I was so little it was easier for me to sit on the ground and make the snow dog to go with complet with an old dog collar. Then, of course, we had to have a pig since this is Iowa! We lined them us as though they were waving to those going down the street. Plus on on a sled going down the embankment. We waited until it was really cold so they lasted a long time. Occasionally the “females” would wear one of mom’s old dresses etc. Fun but cold!
I love snow! Growing up it was always so exciting to make the first snowman of the season. I think the best part was rolling the big balls of snow!
Thanks Michelle for the opportunity to win this set!
I love snowman-here in Ontario Canada we get a lot of snow and we always make a snow family on the front yard. Even though the children are 18 and 20, they still participate in the snow man/woman making. The saddest memory was when the neighbourhood children helped make a snowman and we had a great time but that night other children knocked it down(it was a teaching lesson on vandelism) but all were sad at their hard work destroyed and after 10 years all of them still remember it.
Ahh…memories of snowmen! I remember growing up that it seemed like we got a lot more snow then we do today. We couldn’t wait to wake up and find several feet of snow and school canceled for the day! My grandmom would fix us hot chocolate and oatmeal and of course, back then it was all made from scratch (and a lot of love!). ! Then we would bundle up with layers upon layers of clothes and head out for the day. My grandparents actually had a coal burning furnace so we had actual coal to use for his buttons, and of course a carrot for the nose. Grandpop always had a beat up old hat that he let us borrow and grandmom would have a rickety old broom that we were allowed to use. Every snowman that we made was an absolute masterpiece! Thanks so much for letting me take that little trip down memory lane
Have a wonderful trip and enjoy your family. I love all things to do with snowmen, I don’t have a memory that stands out but love working with snowmen and I love this set. Thanks for the chance to win it.
Wow! I’m really down here on the list! LOL I love snowmen and snowwomen too! Would love to win this cute set! Have a great time in Colorado!
I love that on the rare occasion that we get enough snow in Texas to make a small snowman….it is not uncommon to see them with bandanas for scarfs and straw cowboy hats!! Only in Texas!!!
Coming from AZ I haven’t had much of an experience with snowmen; however, I did love “Frosty” growing up;-) Thanks for the chance to win and maybe you can make a snowman in Co. while you’re there. Have fun!
Hello
I love snowman, I just hosted a stampin up party in hope of this set and I could not get the party high enough. So maybe I will get lucky here!
When I was little I had a hard time saying my s’s. So I always put on my nowpants to make a nowman in the now. (thats put on snowpants to make a snowman in the snow) Or my favorite snow angels (or now angels). I always had to have snowmen in the front yard when ever it snowed for my mom and I to enjoy and be greated with. Now my boys and I go out and enjoy the snowmen. My youngest has a hard time saying his s’s like me.
Please consider me for the drawing. I appreciate it. This set is SO CUTE!!

We sometimes have more snowmen than real men here in upstate NY!!!
Safe travels!
so so cute!
I love snowmen. I have almost every snowman stamp made (atleast it seems that way but not this one, yet). I love big fat snowmen, smiling and with the traditional hat and scarf but not fully clothed like a person (sounds kinda warped huh, lol)
I love making cards using round buttons or diecuts to make snowmen too.
I would LOVE to win this set.
We rarely get enough snow in NC to make even a small snowman but have a couple of times.
Building snowmen is fun and every chance we have snow, we would try to make one and then take pictures with it.
Snowmen bring back a lot of great memories of building them with my kids (all grown and building snowmen with their own kids). We would have such great ambitions of building the biggest one ever, but we could never seem to lift a huge ball on top of another even huger ball! LOL!! Then we’d get out the spray bottles of colored water and spray on clothes or whatever. We’d build as many as we could with the snow available–we’d sometimes “borrow” snow from the neighbors. Thanks for bringing back those memories for me!!! sandy ;^)
I love Snowmen of all types as does my sister. I usually find her some type of snowman every year for her November birthday….her husband is now threatening a band on snowmen……..he thinks that she has enough………she say’s never enough
I love snowmen!! The first time the kids and I built a snowman — the kids insisted it looked like a “snow granny” and put a scarf over it’s head!
Love this set, love your tutorials, we just wish you would travel to Australia to demonstrate your skills.
I adore that snowman stamp set but will never earn it on my own. You always offer the BEST blog candy! Thank you for being so generous!
I remember when my kids were little we were stationed in Philladelphia (my husband was in the Navy), we made snowmen and snowwomen. after they were built, I would mix food color in water and put it in a bottle and they would squeez the color on them to make clothes, they were very fun.
I LOVE snowmen! Not only do they make great cards, but scrapbook pages, too! Have a great time in Colorado. Please don’t forget to come home to Ohio!
our best snow’lady’ was the one my kids made that had b–i—i—-i —-g boobs. I can’t believe she didn’t tip over.
Well you can say I do love snowmen I have 142 of them that I put out before christmas and leave up till the middle of January! I don’t have a really big house so I am getting pretty full, I told my husband I am not buying any more but every now and then you see that special one that just calls out to you and you have to buy him and sneak him in LOL. Thanks for all the GREAT tutorials I just love them!
pretty pretty pretty please!!! I have 2 little boys, one of which made his first snowman this year. I’m a demo, but can’t seem to wrangle enough sales to get this set! Love your art work.
Oh, I love snowmen! You can decorate with them from the begining of Dec. all the way through Feb.!
Snowmen are my favorite Christmas decoration.
Although it has been years since I’ve made a snowman, I decorate with them all winter long, and leave them up through Valentine’s day.
I love snowmen, and I love this set.
Having three boys, and living in upstate NY, we’ve made many snowmen! But now they’re all grown and the only snowmen I have are in my house throughout the winter months, but I still love them!!
I hope you have a wonderful time in Colorado and no snow yet or maybe you like a little snow. Early snow is nice.
When someone talks about snow people…… their are sooooo many. I love all of them. Big ones, little ones, skinney & fat ones, ones that fall, some that smelt but remember they will be back next year or next time it snows.
They are your creation you can have purple, red, green ones any color you want. You can put cloths on them, you do not have to put cloth on them. Eyes no eyes, nose or no nose, it is up to you……………..
Love all your creations. You do beautiful work.
Snowmen always give me “warm, fuzzy” feelings. Whether it’s making snowmen outside, or creating a cute card- I love them!
We built snowmen a lot growing up in Connecticut!!! but mostly we just made tons of snowballs to throw at the snow plows when they came by to plow our favorite sledding hill!! Great memories!!!
Hope you have a wonderful trip! Love the snowman hostess stamp!
Take very good care and please come back to us!
Man I wish I were in Colorado. The people in Broomfield are so lucky to have you visiting! I wish I were in Colorado where my family too lives! Snowmen… Being from Colorado, I just remember we would build a snowman out of the best snow in the world, and the next afternoon it would be gone because the weather there can go from horrible snow storms to 80 degree weather in 24 hours! Gotta Love Colorado Weather! Hope you have a great trip!
Living in the South, we have only had a few snowmen; the one I remember is from when I was little. It was half snow half dirt! And we had bread wrappers on our feet!
I would love to win this darling set!! Have fun on the jet plane!!
Thanks!
Michelle
Snowmen are the best when you get the chance to make one. Here in Salem OR we don’t get to do that very often. It just doesn’t snow that often. See a good reason to get the snowmen blog candy so I can always have a snowman during the winter.
I can’t wait til you come to Salem for your workshop I am so excited to meet you.
Collecting snowmen decor has overtaken my space to the point that when Christmas is over and packed up, the Snowman decorations are put up and stays up for the winter til it’s time for Easter decorations.
WOW have fun at the workshop. show everyone your talent– Love your work. and I thought I was good at braying.l You are definately the QUEEN of Braying. Love all your work– you are my inspiration. Plus I LOVE LOVE LOVE snowmen.
Hi, My favorite snowman is one we found in front of the Ahwanee Hotel in Yosemite one year. It was about 4′ tall, and just waiting for his picture to be taken. I keep that photo of my husband and snowman out in the living room all year long!
Have a safe trip!
my fondest memory about a snowman is just a few years ago. my son and i made a snowman but he was only about a foot tall. the snowman was sitting on a hill with my son and all of a sudden my son patted the snowman on the back and down went the snowman down the hill. both my son and i laughed so hard.
After last years snow, I would just win the snow stamp set then another bad winter..
Snowmen are great, they just remind you of a snow day from school when you were a kid. You can never have too many snowmen stamps or decorations! Thanks for the chance to win.
Michelle…Have a great time in Colorado!
I love Snowmen too! I made my share with my brother and sisters while growing up.It is a sad thing to see them melt. Now I like the rubber kind much better. Would love to add this set to my collection.
Pam
My favorite snowman is of course the one from the Frosty The Snowman movies they show every year at Christmas. I always loved watching any of the videos about kris Kringle and Rudolph , it always made me even more excited for Christmas. I still love to watch them but to my kids they are lame and very old fashioned, huh what do they know about taste.
thanks for all your tutorials
bonnie
I grew up in Norther Indiana and always made snowmen and snow angels. I now live near Seattle, WA and we don’t often get snow, but when we did the kids would crazy and build snowmen as fast as they could and now my grandchildren are doing the same.
In the past few years, I have collected many snowman themed items as gifts. I like them because they can stay out all winter long, and not look out of place when I put them away in March!
When I was a kid, the winters in the Midwest always gave us plenty of snow to make snowmen. He would get a hat & scarf, eyes, nose, and mouth out of whatever I could find, and of course, sticks for arms. Those were the days!
I am so ready for snow and I got to use this set at a Stampin’ Up party and it helped put me in the winter wonderland mood :-)… Thanks for all of the wonderful ideas that you pass onto us.
I LOVE snowmen and they make up the majority of my holiday decorations and Christmas cards that I make. I’ll be away in TN all week and returning on Oct. 31st, so, if by chance my name/number is drawn to win this fabulous stamp set, give me adequate time to reply.
Enjoy your family in Colorado.
When I think of snowmen I think of my grandson’s first snowman - who started to melt a couple days later. Jack was upset that his head was starting to get smaller. His dad had to tell him that that is what happens to snowmen when it turns warm. But then told him if he melted they would just build a new one next time it snowed. His dad buckled him into his car seat and they started to back out of the driveway and Jack leaned forward and yelled at the window what his parents tell him when he bumps himself and is not really hurt - “Just shake it off Frosty, just shake it off”. His dad said he was laughing so hard he had to wait a few minutes before he could drive.
Oh … Snowmen are my men! I have fond childhood memories building snowmen with siblings and friends from the neighborhood. We would go across the street to a large field and build snowmen. I raised my daughter with the same love of snowmen. Her and her best friend have a tradition of building a snowman with the first snow of the year. They have have been friends for 23 years and continue the tradition and soon to pass it on with their children.
When I was a kid and lived in Alaska, I used to love it when we drove past the prison. One thing the prisoners would do with their recreation time was building fantastic snow sculptures. I think I will always remember one fabulous creation - an igloo with snowmen sitting outside around a fire ring, and a polar bear stalking up to watch. After you’ve seen that, seems all other snowmen, uh, pale in comparison!
What I love about the snow is when there are no tracks or anything! I think it is so beautiful! However, if we are ever lucky enough to even get snow, my daughter has to build a snowman with her Father and do a snow angel! ( Which I think she is an Angel anyway! HEHE). Thanks for the blog candy! That is so generous of you!
Would LOVE to win!
Hope you have a fun time with your family, while in Co.
Snowmen always make me think of our dog Sheba that passed away, My husband decided to make me a snowman and got our Rottweiler to help, she always was helping to move things in the yard, like concrete blocks so a ball of snow was great fun for her, we also had a little fur ball yellow kitten that wanted in on the action, so she sat up on a pole and watched while we filmed the making of our snowman. After the editing and Hubby adding his in put it was so funny and a great memory of the best dog we ever had, The snowman was huge too and only required a little lifting from hubby.Thanks for all the great instructions I love your emails……..Norma
I love that snowmen are always smiling. Wonder what they’re thinking about? LOL
When I was 5 my sisters and I attempted to make a snowman, but we made the mid-section too big. We ended up just making one giant snowball.
Thanks Michelle!
I have many good memories of making snowmen in the cold Nebraska winters of my childhood.
Love snowmen, when they’re on cards….just don’t want to build one again
Snowmen are very nice — the cuter the better! Some of our favortie family memories are building snowmen. My kids once built a 19 ball snowman — and yes we have a picture and yes, it is in a scrapbook! However, now that I am older and retired — i don’t want the snow you must have to build snowmen — unless I am with my little grandchildren to play in the snow! Then it is OK.
Thanks for giving me the chance to win the Snowman Stamp set. Texas doesn’t see much snow, so it is wishfull thinking for creating a snowman. Would love to win the set.
My first memory of snowmen was “acting” in my kindergarten play “Winter Wonderland” in the mid 70s. We sang the song as we built pretend snowmen and looked through windows at toys in a toy store. Later on when it finally snowed in Texas, my first real life snowman wasn’t nearly so big as the one I had imagined. Thank you for giving us the opportunity to win this set–I would really like this one. :0)
Tough to build snowmen in the northwest. Its like trying to build one with cement :). We do keep trying though!!! I have been on a snowman stamp collecting expedition ever since I started stamping! Would love to add this to my collection. They are all different and special :). Thanks for sharing this set with a lucky someone!!
I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Snowmen!!!! I have been collecting them for over 25 years. I have to say though that I don’t like “all” snowmen. I can’t even explain what kind I like. I just know them when I see them. It’s “love at first sight”. I love them so much that when my daughter got married I turned her room into my stamping room and it is totally decorated in “Snowmen”!!!!! Thanks for the chance to win this set!
Donna
snowmen have ALWAYS been my favorite thing about winter! So many great memories about them too! Love the stamps! Hope they’ll be mine soon!
I love snowmen–they are my favorite decorations at Christmas. I really have a hangup about blue snowmen–don’t think snowmen should be blue. I like other colors with my snowmen. Have a great visit. Thanks for a chance to win some blog candy.
I love snowmen, I enjoy helping my girls build them. We don’t get much snow here so they are usually small and kind of sad looking, but we have fun anyway. Hope you have a safe and fun trip.
I love snowmen! My favorite memory is when we were growing up and had a great big huge snowstorm…the biggest we had seen ever…my mom came outside with us to help build our ‘castle’ and have a little snowball fun!!! Woohoo - go mom! LOL
Wow, everytime you offer blog candy I’m amazed at the response! Hope you have a wonderful time in Colorado with your family and return rejevunated with more fabulous toots for us! (’cause it’s really all about us, dontcha know?!?) LOL
My memories about snowmen is always trying to make them when it snowed but it seemed we rarely had enough and/or good enough snow to do so…guess that’s why I don’t miss the snow living in Hawaii
Probably my best memory of building a snowman was actually a snow sculpture that we made at my grandparent’s house with many of my aunts, uncles, and cousins…can’t remember why we were all there when it snowed so much but it was very cool for all us to be working together. Thanks for reminding me of that great memory 
Aloha!
OMG I just love this set! I love snowmen . . . the possibilities are endless with this set!
I grew up in BC where we got quite a bit of snow and never had a snow day at school. I now live in WA — we have snow days where the school closes for very little snow!
Thanks for the chance to win.

Brr– corn cob pipe, rubber galloshes, button eyes,carrot nose and frozen toes, and a scarf to keep warm with — that’s what my snowman is made of
Growing up we did not get snow in the valley. Had to go to the mountains and did that about once each winter or two. I have fond memories of building snowmen and it really stands out in my mind since we got to do it so rarely. Now, I love making snowmen with my rubber stamps.
Hi Michelle,
Thanks for the opportunity to win this great stamp set - I could really make some cute cards with this! Enjoy your trip to Colorado!
Cheers, Janet
Oh my gosh…. I am kinda lost as to what I want to say about this topic. I have not actually made a snowman in about 30 years if you can believe that. I think I was 8 when we built the 1st one in the front yard. Before moving to that house, we had rented where we lived so we did not have free reign to do what we pleased on someone else’s property. Does that make sense?
Anyway…. I remember packing the snow into a small ball then rolling that ball around the yard. LOL! Of course our yard wasn’t that big. We used up what was there on that 1st ball in no time. We were not sure how a snowman could be made with just one ball so we enlisted all the other kids to bring snow over to help make the second ball. Oh my gosh, that was too much fun and soooo funny. We had kids bringing over their sand pails with snow in them dumping them out and we used it to form the 2nd ball. While our snowman only had 2 balls that made him. We were so PROUD of what we had done! We found twigs for the arms, an old coat, scarf and skull cap to dress him in. It was fun to see him as we (me, my sister and my brother) left for school each day.
You know when we moved away from that house I cried. I under stood though, it was just too much of an expense for my Mom when my Dad passed away. We moved to a kinda store front house for a while, so I did not get to make another snow man for about 8 or 9 years later. I was in high school when we moved to another house WE owned. I think I/we made one there for my little nieces and nephews. Still that 1st snowman I will never forget.
Thanks so much for the fond memories. sniff sniff

Hmm..snowmen with legs..that’s funny! I love snowmen! I grew up in Hawaii with zero snow exposure and I was an adult when I first experienced snow..it was “dirty” March snow in Yosemite but it was still love at first cold touch! Anyway, I made my first brownish snowman that day but I still had a blast!! Have a great trip & enjoy spending time with your family!
I love to make snowmen with my two boys, although thet are now 10 and 12 they will still come outside (even if it is just a dusting of snow which is what we usually get over in the UK) and make one. It is usually only a couple of inches high and we have used all the snow from the garden, but we are happy doing that one thing together then we come back inside with numb fingers and noses and wet clothes but red, happy faces and have a cup of hot chocolate to warm us through.
I love your blog, I just wish you could come over to the UK to do one of your brayer workshops, I know I would definately come along. Thanks for all you do.
This set is Adorable!!
Let’s see…memories of snowmen…gosh… Well, I lived in CT until I was 12. Obviously, it snows there. Lol So snowmen meant days off of school, hot chocolate, and fun!! I can’t help but smile when I see snowmen and when my husband and I got together, we unintentionally started collecting snowman themed things each year! Love them!

I grew up in California, so never saw a real snow man, or snow even, other than on a trip to the Sierra’s. Then I joined the Navy and ended up in New Jersey. Imagine my surprise when I woke my first winter there one morning, and my little Fiat Spyder was up to it’s axles in snow! I did get to work that day, but I was late, yet the first one to arrive. Thanks Italy and Fiat! A few years later I married and we moved to Reno. We got some snow each winter. When our boys arrived, we built our first snowman out front. What fun that was to see the delight in our boys eyes. I probably was just as excited because it was my first as well. Now we live in Ca again, so no more snow, but the memories linger.
I just love reading your blog, and look daily for what is new in email from you. Someday I hope to be close enough to attend a brayer workshop.
Hi Michelle,
Enjoy your time with family and fans! Who knows you might even get to make a snowman of your own while in Colorado - lol!
Growing up back east building snowmen and women was a regular thing. My poor mom was forever loosing her aprons to my snow ladies. And occasionally her necklaces too! I was an equal rights snow builder even before Women’s Lib got off the ground!
Twig arms with mittens were a favorite addition though our dog had a bad habit of making off with the mittens and sometimes the twig arms too! The other hazard my snow people faced was my brother. He loved to pull the heads off my snow buds and throw them at my bedroom window! Not cool to a 6, 7 or 8 year old! By the time I turned 10 I had a few revenge tricks of my own so he learned to leave my people alone if he wanted his sleds and other winter toys to work right :D. Besides I discovered his beloved basketball made an excellent replacement head with a face drawn on it!
Thanks for the opportunity to win such a stellar stamp set! I’m crossing all my fingers and toes and wishing really hard! Now if only my snowmen had toes I could wish on those too!
Hugs - Jean
I love snowmen! Thank you for the chance to win such a beautiful candy…
Living in Arizona all my life, I’ve never seen a snowman in person..only in pictures…and stamps :0). I would love to move to a small town with trees and seasons (changing leaves in the fall and snow in the winter). I would love to make snowmen with my daughter. Someday.
It is such a cute set.
Have a great time in Colorado.
Thanks so much.
Thanks Michelle for a chance to win the snowman set. I just love snowman. I enjoy making winter/Xmas cards the most. You can never own enough snowman stamp sets!
I love your work - I look forward to visiting your blog daily. Have a great visit in Colorado.
Take care
hi michelle,
My memories of snowmen are every year seeing my daughters make them for the first good fall of snow. they faces glisten with smiles along with the snow.
Thanks for the chance to win.. enjoy Colorado it is a very beautiful state!
Ang
My favorite memory was making snowmen one year and our dogs barking their heads off at them because they could not figure out why those men were standing so still in our yard for. It was extremely funny. Thanks for the chance to win great blog candy.
I just love making snowpeople with my grand children. They make it so much fun. But one thing I will never forget is when I lived in Greece for a short time the men would go up into the hills, build a snowman on their cars and then would have a race into town to see who could make it there with the snowman still intact. It sure was a sight to see. I love snowmen and would really love to have this set. Thanks for the chance for the blog candy. Have a wonderful trip.
I look forward to your blog every morning. Will miss you while you are gone but I know how important family time is. Would love to win the snowmen set. They are my favorite at wintetime!
Love the snowmen as I love reading your blog. You are so creative and inspiring.
One year when my kids were little, we made a huge snow bunny in the backyard. He was about 8-9 feet tall. We took pictures of course. Every night before the kids went to bed we would go and look out the window to say goodnight to the snow bunny. They all remember that Bunny. We named him but the name escapes me right now. Wow, these are good memories that I hadn’t thought of in a long time.
Thanks for the chance to win such a great stamp set and thanks for all your awesome art.
Trish
I love snowmen-stamped images and the real ones. My fav memory is from valentines day a few years ago. my husband built a snowman in the front yard and then sprayed red paint on it “I love you”. needless to say, this was the best valentines gift
Hi Michelle-
I think I have had more fun reading everyone else’s snowman memories. I can’t really think of too many snowman making memories. I did make several however with my little brother and sister and our cousins, but I mostly enjoyed sled riding. I am looking forward to making memories with my daughter, age 5, so that she will have fond memories of making snowmen. It just doesn’t seem to snow as much as I remember it doing when I was younger. I love this stamp set, however and would love the chance to win. Thanks.
oh my gosh, what a cute set. The little snowman in it reminds me of one I painted back when I was 7 or 8. My mom got a set of wooden paint by number ornaments. It looks so horendous, lol.but I still have it and it gets hung on my Christmas tree every year!
Thanks for the opportunity and for all you share with us.
I love this set! Thanks for sharing with us all that you do. I love your tutorials and can’t wait to learn from “the master” when you come to Mechanicsville VA in March!
Snowmen remind me of my childhood. Building snowmen with my mother and my friends, getting cold fingers, then back into the warm living-room, drinking hot chocolate and listening to the stories of the grown-ups.
I love to read your tutorials. Greetings from far away Germany!
I now live in a state where snow is a very rare occurance. However growing up in Northern MD I enjoyed many snowy winters! I loved making snowmen with the carrots for noses, rocks for eyes and old scarfs! Soon I hope to take our boys to the Mountains to enjoy doing this as well! Thanks for a chance to win!
I love snowmen, that means there is SNOW! Unfortunately, we don’t get near enough, usually get freezing rain instead-ugh!!! Actually, I love anything to do with snow. We are one of those weird families who take winter vacations to anywhere with snow instead of summer vacation spots!
This is an adorable set. Thanks for your creativity, always look forward to seeing what you will do next!
I understand where Karen is coming from…..however, this set is super cute. I would love to have. As always…thanks for sharing your talent.
I love your blogs and your cards! I love snowmen and I can’t wait to make some with my sons this Winter. They are 3 and 5 years old and are excited for it to snow.
Thanks for the great blog!
I love this set! Please pick me! And, have a good visit with your sister!!!
I love snowmen. Most people I know who have ‘indoor’ snowmen they put out for Christmas put them away after the holidays. To me, they represent winter and I leave mine out for the season. I’ll take them any shape or form.
I love snowmen! I haven’t made a snowman in many years… we don’t get alot of snow here, but when there’s good “snowman snow” on the ground I’ll be rolling and building a new friend!
I love snowmen especially the kind I can stamp. As a child we lived in places where it only snowed once in a while every few years, so we didn’t make them to often.
Have a great trip!!
Hi Michelle
I just love the cards you post on your blog. The tutorials are wonderful! Thanks for sharing your talent!
Donna in Wisconsin
I love snowmen! They visit my home from the first lasting snowfall (November) until I’m ready to see the snow go away, usually by April.
Two things I don’t like on my snowmen are red noses (carrots are a must!) and I don’t like snowmen with pipes. Thanks for all your inspiration and the chance that I may get my hands on this set!
I love snowmen and snow. I have only experienced it a few times in my lifetime. Snowmen make me smile and feel all warm & fuzzy inside. They are so cute and can be created in so many different ways. They remind me of my favorite season of the year which is very short where I live. Have fun and thank you for all you share.
I love snowmen! I have a pretty nice size collection of snowmen. They come out right after Thanksgiving and stay out till Valentines day! Funny thing is…..I don’t have a single snowman stamp…lol.
Donna in Wisconsin
Wow Michelle, you have sooooo many fans!!!!
When I was little (very long time ago, lol) we had races to see who could build the best snowman (the boys- 3 brothers, or the girls, 2 sisters and me.) Ahhh memories!!!!
Hope I win cause Oct. 30th is my birthday, and your class here in Phoenix, AZ. has been full for months now.
Michelle,
My granddaughter lives in San Diego and she loves to make snowman cards with me. It would be fun to share this set with her. So please enter my name in.
Your posts make my day. Thanks for sharing your gift of creativity!
In Christ’s Love,
Helena
Michelle,
I have been eyeing this wonderfully cute set for awhile now….I don’t have much chance in getting it and I am so excited to have the chance from you! Building Snowmen are one of my favorite winter activities with the family. We always find silly things to add to them and have so much fun!
My pet peeve is snowmen without hats! They always look like they are missing something…Glad to see these have them to add on for folks like me! LOL
I love snowmen because they remind me of fun times with my mother and friends. I remember us getting dressed to go outside to build these guys with my mom and they are such great memories of good times with no worries of everyday life and I carried that tradition on with my son when he was young and hopefully with my grandaughters. Fall and winter are my favorite times of the year, I could live my whole life with those two seasons. This stamp set is awesome. Linda in PA
When we made snowmen with our children we always made an igloo too, so they could crawl inside and have their own special place.
Hi Michelle. we live in Texas, so no snomen around here, well we sometimes get some snow about 2 or 3 inch. not so much and only for a few days but my kids love and try really hard to make one and if they do is really small. So maybe that’s why I like them at least in stamps we can make some snomen in paper ;o). thanks for the offer, have a good trip! Gina F
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!
Chris
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!
I love snowmen but have never been able to build one. I live in Louisiana and we never get enough (if any) snow to build one. Guess stamps are my only chance to have snowmen!
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,
We always build snowmen in threes a single snowman just looks too lonely. Have a great trip. Thanks for sharing.
Collette
Love snowmen with colorful scarfs! Have fun in CO!
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
Katie
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!
Snow people are my very favorite, my house is full of them at Christmas.
I love snowmen, snowladies, snowkids in any shape or form I see them! I especially like the “portlier” versions that look oh, so squishy and cute! Thanks for your wonderful blog, Michelle! Have fun in Colorado!
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.
Building snowpeople always, ALWAYS lead to snowball fights! After we nearly froze to death in the yard building our snowpeople, it was inside to the fire and hot cocoa! Mmmmm…..those were the days!
One year Easter was early and snow came late, so we made a rabbit snowman. Thanks for the chance to win this stamp set. Snowmen are my favorite.
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!!
I love snowmen but have rarely been able to build one. We don’t get enough snow every winter. Hope to win this beautiful set than I can make every year snowmen!
Thanks for the chance to win this blog candy! Enjoy your stay in Colorado!
L O V E Snowmen! They are always great reminders of when we were in our youth! Also when our kids were young and so full of energy, they just put a smile on my face every time. Wish me luck of the draw.
Our snowmen must always have a real carrot nose! Love your cards!!
I wish you would come to Pittsburgh PA!! I love your blog and your work! =)
I love the snowmen that you collect inside. I love to see the snowment out side…sort of made like they do the sand castles….. Now that makes me happy!
I absolutely love snowmen. Who doesn’t? Snow means Christmas and I adore Christmas. Bring on the flurries……
Thanks for the chance to win some great blog candy. Keep us inspired!
Our best snowman memory was the winter the boys made “anatomically correct” snowmen! Luckily, the neighbors all had a great sense of humor about them!
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.
Snowmen are the BEST part of winter! I love driving through town and seeing the handiwork of the children in the front yards…….
Wendy Pannell
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.
Michelle
I LOVE this snowman set. It reminds me so much of our wonderful Colorado in winter. I have a snowman collection and love all things snowpeople.
I love Snowman, as long as they are in pictures, on tv or on a rubber stamp:) We moved from the North to Florida to leave all the snow behind!
Snowmen are so beautiful,all sparkly and glistening in the sunshine and beautiful shades of blue as the sun sets. Plus they are so brave to withstand the cold blowing wind that winter brings! I love to see snowmen with bright colorful scarves, they look sooo pretty in the snow! Joyce
I like snowmen but have very seldom gotten to make one! I live in the deep South and we don’t get snowy weather too much.
I LOVE this set maybe because these would be the only snowmen I could get!
GeryB
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 have very little experience w/ snowmen, as it rarely snows in west & central Texas. I love making the stuffed kind & on cards, though, & w/ a top hat!
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.
Hollie
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/
I love getting your updates.. They give me such great ideas and techniques. Hope someday to be as good as you!!
Sharon Maxwell
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!
I love snowmen! The best snowman I ever made was the first one I made when I was 5 or 6. My family had just moved to Maryland from California. It was magical!
I would love to have this set!!
Terri
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 loved making snowmen! My Mom would get mad at us if we put “our hats, gloves, etc.” on them! Then having them stay, partially awhile, makes my heart warm! Thanks for sharing!
Please include me in the hundreds of people who would like to win this blog candy! I wish my job could take me to Colorado for a week…
I love making snowmen. That is the only thing I miss about winter is the first snowfall and we would all make snowman. I live in FL and we do not get the snow. But I collect snowman stamps to make card with. I would love to win this set.
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!
I decorate my house with snowmen every year for the Holidays …I also tend to make Snowman Cards each year as well ….. my favorite card used a snowman set from Stampin Up and I made a snow globe card … I thought it was very cute!!
We don’t have snow every winter anymore but if we have snow I love making snowmen with my grandchildren and we give them funny faces and dress them up.
Have a good time in Colorado. I was in Colorado Springs last year…
Hello Michelle!
I love snow men above all.
It does not matter where they always met with spreading good mood.
They are easy to cuddle.
I wish you a nice trip and that you come back healthy.
I hope that my english is not so bad and you can understand it.
:o)
Moni
It’s always a pleasure to pursue your site. Please enter me in your contest for the
Stampin Up Level 2 “Snow Buddies”. It’s a great promotor! As a stampin up demonstrater, I love your work. Snowmen are my grandsons favorite thing, since they lived in Maine and made them all the time.
When we lived in Minnesota, the snow was usually too cold, and we were able to make snowmen but it was hard.
Once we moved to Colorado (and you’re right, it’s such a beautiful state), I discovered all those books and TV shows were right, it really is possible to roll a snowball along the ground and make a huge snowman out of it! I’ve only done it once when the snow was just perfect for it. But I built the snowman with my son (who was only 2 at the time), and we had a wonderful day and made some fun memories.
Your brayer technique is outstanding!
I live in Florida now, but thankfully I grew up in Illinois, where we had lots of snow to play in. We built snowman families, all sizes and facial expressions. The wet, heavy snow worked best, and if you push the snow down the sloping yard, it builds a snow “body” fast. It was a little heavy to assemble, but well worth the effort and fun!
there is no snow in my place, so i saw snowman only once!
thanks
If I only lived somewhere where we consistently got enough snow to make snow people! I love to do it and am always wishing for that first snowfall!
Hi Michelle,
ik heb als kind veel sneeuw manne gemaakt hoor
en ik vind het een geweldig mooie set ik hoop dat degene wie de set wint er gelukkig mee is groetjes Netty Mommers
Snowmen always make me think of warm winter days where the snow pack just right and the happy feeling of warm-cool pink cheeks on a cold day that is warmer than it should be. I adore snowmen. there is something so……. perfectly happy and cheerful about them that just makes me feel good.
Thanks for letting us have the chance to have these ones Michele
The first snowfall, no matter how minor it is….has all of the neighbourhood children out on their front lawns, rolling up snow and making snowmen. It amazes me what they can create sometimes with such little snow!! I love the kids’ excitement and happiness. It is so contagious! Snowmen will always remind me of the innocence of children
This snowman set is a perfect reminder that the joy of children can always make me smile.
I like snowmen that have twigs or sticks for arms since that is what my brother and sisters used when we made ours. Yes, even in Texas it does snow!!
Michelle - love your work and your blog!.
Glenda
My best snowman memories are in grade school when the excuse was building a snowman, but really we were all just trying to see how big of a snowball we could create!!!
Have a great trip and enjoy family time!!
My husband thinks i’m crazy. Every time we get snow in NJ, I try to build a snowman or angel. Somtimes it works other times it doesn’t. Now I am over 50, haven’t grown up yet!! I just love the snow!!
Hi Michelle!
I love to sneak out in the middle of the night when it is snowing and make the “Calvin and Hobbs” snowmen… The big snowmen chasing a bunch of little ones, very silly, but fun. The middle of the night is when I am most creative, anyway!
Hi Michelle!!
I hope you’re doing well. Have yourself some safe travels to CO!
My favorite memory of a snowman was from when I was about 11 or 12 years old & it actually wasn’t even a snowman. It was a snow-woman. Actually, it was a snow-Dolly.
My friends mom had made her & she had ginormous snow-boobs.
I’ll never forget the image!
Hi Michelle,
I just want to say that you do very inspiring work! As for snowmen…my family and I like all kinds of snowmen and like to dress them in the usual attire of scarf, hat, etc. My son loves the book “Snowmen at Night” so we like to imagine what our snowmen have been doing at night too. Anyway, no one should ever stop building snowmen.
I love snowmen. They remind me of all the times school was cancelled and our dad would make snow sculptures with us - a train engine, a slide, igloos, snowmen of all sizes and the snowman placed just outside the dining room window peering in that scared the daylights out of mom when she came home from work at midnight. It was the only one that resided that close to the house! Snowmen are absolutely adorable and warm the heart. Thank you for the opportunity to win this darling set.
I remember making the biggest snow man that my brother and I could. Then when my daughter was little she did the same thing with the neighbor kids. She also made little tiny snowmen. They were very cute! Living in the north we usually have plenty of snow to play in.
Hope you have a great time Michelle! Please enter me for the blog candy.
Thanks, Laura
Michelle - I appreciate you allowing us to “experience” some of your travel adventures, as well as sharing your gorgeous cards. While I can’t build snowmen in Alabama, certainly winning this Snowman set will let me me experience that same joy from the toasty comfort of my home. Have a great time in CO, it is certainly a great place to be!
What a clever game! It’s rare we get much snow in Alabama. I can remember when I was a kid ( many years ago ) we had several days of good snow that we could play in and build snowmen and have snowball fights with my brother. We had a “dusting” of snow last year that stuck to our cars, I made a mini-snowman on the hood of my car- he was so cute!
Thanks for reminding me of happy memories,
I love your blog.
Thanks,
Karen
I used to love making snowmen so much when I was a kid that when I ran out of snow from the lawn, I would scrape the snow from under the car tires’ mudflaps and make “Pig Pen”-type snowmen. Yes, I’m weird, and proud of it!
I haven’t made a snowman in years, but I used to love playing in the snow and making families of snow people! Thanks for the opportunity to win some snow buddies.
I love snowmen . My best memories are of making the annual snowman with my children,then warming up with hot chocolate and a video.My children are grown and the annual snowmen are now ceramic but they still bring good feelings.Have a great time. Thanks for the chance to win the adorable snow buddies.
Okay I love snowmen I love turning them into women…..Adding a necklace and some earings…….LOL The hardest part for me as a kids was getting that head on the top! Good times forsure.
Thanks
now that you mention, yes I can see snowmen with legs being an issue! I love snow men, I love the calvin and hobbes series of snowmen (I seem to get this every winter and always by a diff source!) But now that I think about it I don’t think I’ve ever made one!!! Can you believe it….almost 32 yrs old and a snowman newbie. Will fix it this winter!
I love snowmen–to me they symbolize winter. My daughter loves to make snowgirls–I keep a stash of girl hats for her to use for her snowgirls. It’s even more fun when the whole family gets involved–last winter they made an entire snow family, complete with a snow dog and cat!
Hi Michelle!
I remember when I was very young…like maybe 5, my dad “teaching me” how to make a snowman. It was such a great time together. We HAD to have a carrot for the nose, and I think my dad even let me use his own scarf and had to put on our snowman friend. Thanks for reminding me of such a fun childhood memory.
Debbie
When I think of snowmen I think of my girls and their excitement for the first good snowfall of the season. It has become a tradtion to make a snowman after it stops…no matter what time it is! Last year we were out there until about midnight! I think our neighbors think were crazy!
Thanks for the chance to win this adorable snowman stamp set!
Snowmen remind me of a cold day when my kids were much smaller. They were all bundled up outside making a snowman. Big sparkly snowflakes were falling onto the three feet of delightfully packy snow that had already settled. My children’s little faces were bright red and their noses were running. They worked for hours making a handsome snowman that looked right into our parlor window. When they were all finished, my kids told me that instead of the cold little fellow looking toward the street he needed to peek into our house so he could watch them open presents on Christmas morning. Thanks for the chance to win your, as always wonderful, blog candy.
I hate snow, I hate being cold, But I love snowmen and snow globes, go figure. I do not like snowman with legs either. Flaky Friends was one of my favorite sets.
As always, thanks for sharing your beautiful work and thanks for the chance to win some great stamps!
I love snowmen! There is something about them, maybe it’s that rock smile, that just makes me happy. Thanks for the chance to win.
Hi Michelle…Snowmen, Love them. Grew up in the great white north and was/is our favorite passtime in the winter. The bigger the better
I LOVE snowmen. I grew up in Ohio where we had plenty of snow in the winter. But, living in Texas doesn’t provide much opportunity to build a snowman now. Thanks, Michelle, for your generosity in offering this treat!!!
I love snowmen! One year growing up, we built a huge snowman and misted him with warm water to create an ice shell around him so he’d last longer. He lasted so long, people thought he was fake!
This is a cute set! Snowmen are the BEST part of winter! Have a good time in Colorado.
Snowmen…and women…are great! I remember creating what I thought were huge snowmen when I was little in PA. We don’t get alot of snowman-friendly snow in Colorado…it’s usually to dry to stick together properly. Oh, and don’t forget watching Frosty and crying when he melted cuz you thought he was real! Great memories!!
Cute stamp set, it would have a place of honor at my house, although I am having a hard time accepting the idea that soon it will be real snowman time outside.
I am using what I learned at your workshops and am amazing people with the results.. you help make it doable! Thanks for all your creativity!
There’s not enough snow every year to build snowmen here in Belgium. So when it happens you have to enjoy it! I remember one year when I was about 11 years and my sister was to sick to play in the snow. My adult neighbours felt sorry I had to have fun on my own, so they helped me build a big snowmen, we had a snowball fight, etc. I think they enjoyed it as much as I did. Thanks for a chance to win! Greetings, Annelies
I have always loved snowmen - when I was little my brother and I would always build a snowman. We also played “Fox & Goose” in the snow! It was great fun. My brother, however, is 7 years older than I am, so he always won!!
Real snowmen and snow women have a fond place in my heart as it reminds me of my terrific childhood in cold and snowy Northern Minnesota. We’d dress them up like we were keeping them warm. Now I have quite the collection of snowmen made out of everything but real snow. Stamp set would make awesome Christmas cards to share with friends and family. Thanks for the chance to win your blog candy! Have a safe trip.
Great blog candy…of course I’m partial to snowmen.
Thanks for the chance to win it.
I have always loved snowman and growing up in Denver, Colorado-I have had many chances to do so. You can be so creative when making them. I collect snowman ornaments, figurines, etc. You can’t help but smile when you see them.
When I think of snowmen I think of my mother. She loved them! She is in heaven now so every time I see anything that is a snowman, I think of her which always brings a smile.
My little 2 year old granddaughter would love things made out of this set for her book! I would love to win it to play with!! Please enter me in the contest!!
Snowpeople remind me of time spent with my kids when they were little. When ever it snowed, we had to to out and make a snowman. The treat afterwards was hot cocoa and freshly baked cookies. I always baked when it snowed!
I love snowman. I think the child in me doesn’t want to grow up. I make a snowman every winter. Thanks for the chance to win the blog candy!
It’s always a treat on your blog. Either you’re posting beautiful works of art and a tutorial to go with them, or you’re giving us a chance for great blog candy! I remember as a teenager building a huge snowman with my best friend. We ended up having to recruit my big brother to help us - I think the bottom snow ball ended up being over 5′ tall!
Hoping you send to Australia! We have to travel along way to see snow and we do!!!! Just so we can make Snowmen!! The best fun! We travel hundreds of Km far and wide and you will see the best display of Snowmen Village. I am near the mountains but it is still minimum 150 km. Hoping to win the blog candy too!
wow i would love to win i have 3 boys so winter meenshockey and lots of it and hocky dressed snow men
Being from Texas we don’t see much snow but it did snow on Christmas eve four years ago. What fun it was! Thanks for a chance to win.
Making snowmen then coming inside for some hot chocolate is a great way to spend a snowy afternoon. Thanks for sharing your talent with us.
WOW…what a generous blog candy offering! I’ll soooo cross my fingers! As for snowman memories…My fondest one is making my first with my girls while stationed in Plattsburgh NY while my husband was recruiting. It was there first experience with snow and they LOVED creating a snowman withit! I had trouble getting them back into the house! LOL
Thanks!….{SMILES}
Every snowperson is cute! Thanks for a change for wonderful blog candy.
Donna
I love with snowmen with big scarves around their neck. Those real colorful ones with the big carrots for noses. I hope I win this set - there are lots of options with this one - thanks for the opportunity- have a great visit !
I love to make snowmen! Unfortunately, we don’t get enough snow usually to make much of one. When I lived in Washington state, we had a wonderful snowy winter and I made a great one!!
Love that stampset!
Sharon
Hi,
This is my first look at your site. I love it. You are so talented. I would love to learn from you.
Snowmen–When I was a little girl on a farm in rural Michigan, my cousins and I would build a big snow man with black cole for eyes, and a carrot for a nose. We would use my grandfathers scarf and hat for his head and small branches from our old apple tree for arms. Thanks for reminding me of happy childhood days.
Thank you for shareing your gifts.
I love to build snowmen/snowdogs for my Yorkies. They always use it for a P– post and they think its fun to turn him yellow :0) thanks for doing such great work, I love your artwork.
Oh what a fun topic. Love the card. For my husband’s 40th b’day party. I had an ‘over the hill’ one for him. Invited 45 or so guests. Complete surprise. I got some pics from his mother for a collage I wanted to display for the party goers. What was so cute. My monster-in-law( I call her that as a joke), had a pic of my husband when he was about 3 years old..all bundled up making a snowman up north. Well I just so happen to find a pic I took when my husband was about 38 years old doing the same thing. He was all bundled up and making a snowman for me to enjoy. It was too cold for me to go out that day. But it was so cute that all those 35 years. My husband hadn’t lost his ‘child like’ personality when it came to making that little snowman. I think the one he made when he was 3 years old..was bigger than the one when he was 35..He looked like he was more cold as an adult. too…ha ha.. It doesn’t snow as much in the south you know. Thanks for the card and the opportunity to share this story..

I love snowmen, I remember as a child we would all go out and make a snowman on the first snow fall. When we were finished we would come inside and my Grandmother would have cookies and hot chocolate waiting for us. I kept up the tradition with my own children. Oh what great fun we had. Thanks for offereing such a wonderful blog candy.
loved your workshop, glad we did not have snowmen to deal with that day! I love that snow people stamps can be used for so many different cards.
When my man and children made a snow man.
I baked pancakes and made chocolate milk.
What was that a delicious time.
It would by pretty to make a card for my sons with this beautiful stamps
Thanks to give us the chance to win these splendid stamps.
I hope you are having an awesome time in Colorado! I would love to win these snowmen, but then I might also request a short tutorial with one of your beautiful designs…
Have an awesome trip…I love snowmen….seeing the kids faces when you add the features and he just comes to life is just priceless!!
Thanks for the opportunity to win some blog candy.
Everyone in my family thinks it odd that my niece hates snowmen. So, we generally get her snowmen trinket or two for Christmas. One year, when she was a teenager she relented and made a snowman with the family. Then, she borrowed one of her brother’s swords and was going to kill the snowman. So she put a bunch of effort into swinging the sword around…then when the blade hit the snoman, it just sliced right through as if she was cutting air! We all laughed because for some reason we all were expecting the sword to get stuck. Too funny.
When it comes to Christmas decorations, I’ve found that I tend to have a thing for snowmen, as I have quite a bunch in my ornament collection. I think it’s because they’re cute and always smiling. But as for real snowmen, I don’t think we’ve made many of them in my young days. The second or third ball always ended up too big and heavy to lift on top of the first one (I think we never learned to pace ourselves!) and I can’t remember a time when we went all out with the pebble eyes and carrot nose and hat and scarf…
I was born and raised in Northern Canada so you’d think I would have had plenty of opportunities to make snowmen! Maybe when I have kids…
Have a great weekend!
Cindy
Snowmen bring so many memories of childhood and my children’s childhood. The best ones are built at night, under the stars, and then into the house for a warm cup of cocoa - with marsh mellows of course! debb
Michelle…This set is too cute! Thanks for offering this blog candy. You are overly generous! NOW…..I can’t believe you are in COLORADO! SO close yet so FAR AWAY! I’m holding my breath until April! Happy Halloween!
DonnaB
Once when I was about eight, I was out in the yard and made a snowman all by myself; I got so hungry that when I finished, I ate the carrot I had used for his nose.
My Grandfather, sisiter and I would always build huge snowmen in the backyard, complete with carrot nose, stick arms and a baseball cap. Then to warm up my Grandmother would make us all hot chocolate….boy do I miss them!
I have loved snowmen all my life. I remember one day that we had a snow day from school, and all 5 of us kids played outside, actually getting along, no fighting! And we made a HUGE snowman. I have no clue how we lifted that middle ball up onto the bottom one, it was so large!
Thanks for the chance to win, I LOVE this set!!
Love ‘em! My favorites have been window paintings, but they all bring smiles.
I loved making snowmen. Rolling the big balls until they were so big I couldn’t lift them! That’s when I called my dad for help!
I have great memories of my boys, when they were younger, making snowmen in the front yard … such fun!
Oooooh! I really do miss Colorado. And, I know of 2 friends back there who are taking your workshop! I am soooooo jealous!
Back to the matter at hand….I love snowmen! I have many, many snowmen stamps and sentiments, but they need new company….pick me please!!! Thanks for your generosity!
I love the look of snowmen, but have no experience of them as the winter here does not have snow
I’m in England so I don’t expect you to send me the lovely stamps as it’s so expensive to post, but I really wanted to tell my lovely snowman story.
My father, who has since passed away, was poorly at home and he heard a knock at the door. When he opened it there was a snowman on the doorstep! My next door neighbour had build the snowman on the path outside the front door, knocked on the door and hid around the corner. Two grown men laughing hysterically is a wonderful site. Laughter is the best medicine.
My neighbour was our age and always looked on our dad as his while his own was away in the army. He even bought the house next door when he grew up.
Fabulous memories of days gone by.
When I was young, I loved making snowman families! Always hated watching them melt away too! Thanks for the chance to win some blog candy! Have fun in Colorado!
Hi Michelle:
My favourite memories of making a snowman are with my two sisters. We would try to make the biggest snowman ever!
Please enter my name in your draw to win this sweet set of stampus.
Thanks
Hi Michelle!
Snowmen rock! I am originally from Southern California and the only snowmen that existed were made out of balls made out of twig with a carrot for a nose and a black felt hat! Here in Ohio, however, the snowmen are everywhere an so easy to make. The only problem is…….when you hug them - they melt!
Teik
Wow I love snowmen! I just found your site and I’m going to try one of your tutorials. I wish I could go to one of your workshops……I don’t see any near where I live.
You are a true artist!
Colorado is so beautiful, I understand that you may not want to leave. Here in NY snowmen are very alive all Winter long! I love your creations and am sending you an e-mail to sign up for one happening next year.
Oh please put me in for your snowman blog candy. I love snowmen! Some of my best memories are of my daughters playing in the snow when we lived in the Poconos. We would all make snowmen and run around trying to find cool items to use for facial features and embellishments. We would use twigs, rocks, leaves, scarfs, hats, etc to make them. Oh for the good ole days. *sigh*
I have such fond memories of making snowmen with my brothers growing up and again with my children. Always a fun time!!!
When I think of snowmen, I have a flash back of 55+ years ago, when my younger sister was sick and my mom sent my older sister and I outside to build a snowman to entertain the younger sister. I got in trouble because I used my mom’s good scarf and fancy buttons to accessorize the snowman. I think my younger sister was entertained more by my being in “trouble’ than the beautiful snowman we made.
Thanks for the opportunity to share a memory.
Have a great visit- Fun Blog Candy- is there Snow in Colorado? I hope you have a very nice visit with your sister- does she stamp???
My favorite memories of making snowmen is with my kids. We not only made snowmen but snow turtles and things like that. We would make the turtle ones in the snow and make them mounded like and then take food coloring and water and spray them to make awesome looking snow turtles. I love snowmen they are so cute and each one so different, even the turtle ones lol. I think that is something my kids will always remember to is our making of the snowman turtles and snowmen. We used so many different things for the noses, eyes, arms and hats. We sure had fun making our different snowmen.
Thanks for the letting me bring back those memories.
Angel hugs
Debby
Snowmen live only in my dreams as it doesn’t snow it. My hope is to enjoy a US christmas one year and to find a place with lots of snow so I can build a snowman ot two.
we miss you when your gone for so long. thanks for your class in castro valley. i was one of your students. love this set. see you soon. ylita
We never had enough snow for snowmen in Vancouver when I was a kid, but that didn’t stop us from trying, the poor things were more grey than white, they had dried grass, mud and gravel all through them! One year we even got the brilliant idea that if there wasn’t enough snow for a snowman, we’d try making an igloo - I have no idea where that reasoning came from, but I do remember getting int o a lot of trouble for ruining my mother’s bread pans!
Thanks so much for offering blog candy… I love this set! I love Snowmen and thats how I decorate most of my house for Christmas! ~Olena~
I went out and made a “snowdog” (a four legged snowman complete with a dog shaped head) with my dog one year. It turned out pretty cute. When we were finished, I went in the house (I should have been suspicious since Simon wanted to stay out a little longer), looked out the window and Simon was pouncing on it. He jumped on it and ran over it until it was nothing more than a flat little memory. It was pretty funny to watch and still makes me laugh. Ummm, I was ~36 years old at the time. You’re as young as you feel!
I love snowmen so much that I collect them. Stamps, figures, ornaments, you name it I collect it. Thank you so much for the chance to win this yummy candy!
hugs
Mary
I love looking at snowman from the inside of the house because it’s so much warmer there! Each one is so unique. And I do have a bit of a stamp collection of these little fellas. Thanks Michelle for the opportunity for the blog candy! Hugs, Peggy
The holiday season just isn’t complete without watching Frosty The Snowman!
Hi Michelle,
I love snowman! This set is so adorable. Thanks for the chance to win.
I love snowmen!! I think this set is so cute. Your website & all of your work
is just great. I am realitively new to stamping & enjoy your tutorials.
The BIGGEST snowman my son and his girlfriend built was so tall it could be seen from ther highway 2 miles away! It was HEAVY . Getting the middle layer on the base was back breaking even with boards to roll in on. Then the head had to be built in place. What fun they had.
I live in Hawaii but would you believe we make snowmen every year on the top of Mauna Kea? Yep, every year when snow falls on the peak around 13,800 feet, we all climb into our 4 wheel drive truck and drive the two hours it takes to get to the summit so we can do a little sledding and make our snow friends! Then we fill the truck bed up with snow and drive down to the warm sunny beach and have a snowball fight on the sand!!! It is truly awesome!!
My favorite snowmen are any that can be stamped on paper. They do not not require cold weather! Love your cards. You are an inspiration.
Building a snowman always brings me back to the show “Frosty the Snowman” you cannot build a snowman without having the song stuck in your mind by the time your done. Love snowmen.
Snowmen have always been one of my favorite stamp images along with angels and teddy bears. One of my favorite Christmas movies is “Jack Frost” starring Michael Keaton. I remember the good old days when my boys were young and we’d build a snowman together. Of course the snow ball fights that followed were a must for the boys as was the hot chocolate.
Thanks for sharing your talent through the tutorials. I can’t wait until you come somewhere close where I can attend one of your classes. Trish
You have to have THE perfect snow to make a snowman…. kind of gets frustrating for my kiddos when the weather is too cold and the snow is NOT sticky.
I love snowmen and building them with my family. We even have snowmen lights! We are the only house on the block that has a snowman that lights up. Last year we just never seemed to have the right weather to make a really good snowman but this year I hope we do!
A snowman means snow….and the only thing I like about snow is the fact that it covers up what I call ‘the uglies.’ However, snowmen on stamps are kind of cute….without feet, of course!
Snowmen are the magical people of our winter wonderlands reminding us that life can be grand, happy, and ever so fleeting….even when the sun is shining!
Eileen Slack
Good Morning,
I love snowmen from the window of my craft room….it’s the only time I really like snowmen!! I live in Minnesota…and not much of a winter weather kinda girl.
Looking forward to you visiting (st.) Cloud in June; I’m so signing up!!
Thank you!
What a fab set. We used to get snowed in every year and make these critters!!
SNOWMEN ARE JUST TOO ADORABLE…..LOVE THE LITTLE GUYS AND THEY ALWAYS PUT
A SMILE ON EVERYONE’S FACE AND WARM THE HEART!
Hi Michelle,
Snowmen (and women) happen to be my favorites for Christmas decorations. They have such character and bring a sense of playfulness to Christmas! It’s so fun to dress them up or down…. how many of us really look that great totally naked! lol
Blessings to you!
Linda Cary
Hi Michelle,
Snowmen are my favorite Christmas decoration and my favorite Christmas stamps. They are very cute.
Donna
Canadian snowmen are coolest of all, but have the warmest hearts
Where I live, we don’t get much snow, so whenever we do get a light dusting, we are out trying to make a little snowman. He usually has lots of grass and dirt mixed in, but he’s still adorable! Thanks for the chance for Blog Candy!
Jo
Just discovered your block - such beautiful work. Snowmen (without legs) alway reminded me of building snowmen as a child with my dad.
Vicki
Snowmen! Brrrr! Cold! I’ll enjoy them from inside my toasty warm home.
Barbara
You must know that I have been coveting this stamp set since it first came out in the mini. I must have it. Thank you so much for the chance to win it.
Sadly, we don’t get a lot of snow here but when we do get enough for a snowman, I love seeing all the different snowmen bodies folks come up with! I still like the standard Frosty the Snowman look best of all..
Thanks for a chance to win the super cute set!
Thanks for continuing all your tutorials, updates, blogs and daily chat. I’m so sorry that SU has decided that demonstrators can no longer use any other supplies other than SU materials. In my opinion, it deprives us of the opportunity to learn from you fiirst hand and it sure doesn’t encourage to buy more SU products. Thanks for all your hard work and dedication!
I love snowmen - when I was growing up the minute it snowed we’d head out to make one. Thanks for the opportunity to win this wonderful set!
Snowman come in all shapes and sizes and none are alike.. I collect snowman of all types and you never have enough. They can melt your heart because they are so darn cute and always put a smile on your face My fondest memories are from a couple of years ago in Cincinnati when we had a heavy snowfall in late March. My family built a 7 ft snowman and I took a picture of my grandchildren with their arms intertwinded and wrapped around him.
I never get to your site often enough but when I do I am always amazed by what I see, and always learn from your work. Today I found myself there again and was so excited to see you were coming to Colorado….where I live! Broomfield is at least 1 1/2 hours away but it would be totally worth it to make it into one of your classes (full this time). That will teach me not to visit enough.
As for snowmen, I love them and we often build several of them depending on our winter, but as children we built snowmen along with our forts to be guards for when we weren’t there to play. Snowmen are a lovely sign of my youth. Thanks so much for bringing up such wonderful memories, and come play in Colorado again, I promise to visit your site more often…in the hopes of attending one of your classes!
Hope you’re having a blast in Colorado. I’m in CA, so no snow here, but growing up, every winter was accompanied by 3-4 months freezing cold, ice and - if we were lucky - juuuust enough snow to build a decent, 10-year-old girl-sized snowperson. It was great - all the kids in the apartment building would descend onto the little island of grass in trees in front of the building to start rolling and accessorizing. No one complained about cold noses, freezing hands or cold winds. We just had a blast.
Another CA girl here - no snow - no snowmen! I love them all the more because I only got to build one once! I was about 7. Isn’t that sad? I must have this set so that I can make up for lost time
Thanks for all of your fabulous tutorials!!!
I laugh every winter living in Oklahoma to see my grandkids outside making a snowman WITHOUT a coat on…..lol..I grew up in Ohio and would be outside FREEZING making some!…..it’s so cute to watch them! Of course, they are gone by the next day!
Hope you are having a wonderful time…stay safe!
snowmen always make me think of winter, even though we rarely had enough snow to build one. Watching my daughter build her first was the best though!
I love snowmen! They are so cute.
Oh, tomorrow you will finally be back here (I hope). Really missed you!
Lucy
Snowmen always make me think about the time when my sister and I were kids and my dad helped us build an 8 or 9-foot monster snowman back in 1976 or 1977. (It seems like we used to get so much deeper snowfall here in Ohio back then.) The sections were so heavy he could barely lift them up to the top. Until he melted, my mom worried every time we went out to play that we’d get hurt if the thing would ever happen to fall over on us! He seemed so HUGE to us at 10-11 years old!
I’m a southern girl so seeing enough snow to make a snowman was rare! That is why I love them so much…they are a friend I only got to make a few times in my life.
I remember trying hard to gather enough snow to make a snowman and it would take all the snow from several yards just to make a small one and he usually didn’t last too long as soon as the sun came out (in Savannah, GA!).
Thanks for your generosity offering that set as blog candy. Love your tutorials!
Cindi
My favorite snowman memorie? That has to be when we made a HUGE snow man in our front yard. We rolled up the bottom at about 5 feet and then realized that we wouldn’t be able to put the other two pieces on. My dad was a wanna be farmer. He brought out his tractor and put the other two snowballs on for the body and head. Then he put one of us in the bucket to add the eyes, nose and mounth. We didn’t have a hat big enough!!! I really don’t ever remember having enough snow to do that but we must have at least once. Both the back and front yards must have been bare of any snow by the time we were finished!
Blessings,
Christine
The very best snowmen are pictures of them sent to the warm weather I’ll will be dreaming of living in! ( I live in IOWA!!!!!!) This year we’re making and going to try to coloring our snowmen!
I remember my son’s first snowman…we had a blizzard- about 2 feet of the stuff! Once we dug out of the house, we started building our snowman…he was perfect. My son- who was about 2 at the time, stood on the porch so I could take a picture of him with the snowman in the background, and he fell off the porch into the snowdrift-we lost him! the drift was way over his head
He luckily landed feet first and was standing in the snow going in circles with his nose up in the air…I know- it’s not much, but a big snow always brings back that memory.
Snowmen always remind me of my childhood. We didn’t have the electronic gadgets or television to keep us busy during the long winter months. Winter was a time to make snowmen, go sleigh riding with friends and snuggle up with a cup of hot cider. We often had four feet of snow with drifts that closed the roads.
I’d love to be the proud owner of this hostess set.
I always loved making snowmen as a child –ok I admit even as an adult I still enjoy making snowman. My favorite part as a child though was my mom always having the right finishing accessories to add to my creations, like a scarf or hat she crocheted. Then we would go inside and have “snowcream” she prepared ealier. This memory always brings a smile to my face!!:)
Snowmen, snow, fun!
Love making them with friends and family. The best part - the snowball fights with a snowmade character as defence/block and then the hot chocolate to warm up afterwards
Ooooooooh — SNOWMIES!! (My son used to call them that when he was a toddler, many moons ago . . . ) I just love snowmen. And thank you for sharing all of your wonderful card ideas — I am going to attempt the bat halloween card tonight. Last year I made your witch against the moon . . .
Snowmen…I love to decorate with snowmen of all kinds…one year
I kept them up all year and our daughters thought it was neat. Now
one of our daughters has me ‘hooked’ on stamping…and I’m retired and
on a fixed income….oh, well, life is fun. Joy to Your World.

Hi, just love your tech’s. I had to have a brayer after seeing your designs. I hope one day I get somewhere close to the talent you have. They are absolutly beautiful. Good luck everyone.
Michelle,
Your tutorials are always so wonderful. I’m here in Minnesota where we get plenty of snow, but my favorite snowmen are stamped and on cards! Would love to win this cute set. Thanks for the chance.

I have so many great memories of snowmen. The new snowfall was one of the things that would bring my family together each year. My mother, father, brother & I would make very sad looking snowmen with the first snowfall, but we always had to try! As we got more into winter & the snow was easier to pack & collect, we’d make much better looking snowmen. Snow is the only thing I miss about living up north now that I’m in Florida. JIL
I would love to be entered in your blog candy drawing! Thanks for inspiring all of us!!

I bet you saw some snow in Colorado, didn’t you (or aren’t you) ??? I have so many fond memories of snow days with the family-we have 7 kids in our family, so always had a friend to build snowmen with, or go sledding, or whatever. But, my absolutely favorite memory of building a snowman was the year after we were married, my husband Ray and I built 2 huge snowmen out in front of his Mother’s house when we were there visiting. We had a riot rolling the balls, and decorating them with scarves and carrot noses….etc….. They lasted there for a couple of weeks from what we heard- we have a picture taken with those snowmen- Oh, those were the days!!!
To be honest… I’m not sure I’ve ever made a Snowman!! It doesn’t snow where I live at all…. and even when I’ve been to the snow I’m not sure my mound of snow could be called a ’snowman’!
When it comes to snowman stamps… I feel complete envy of the White Christmas so many get to enjoy! I hope to one day experience it for myself - and escape the scorching summer heat, flies and Australian BBQ’s - just for one Christmas! Despite the flies… I love our Aussie Xmas’s!
I love snowmen. I grew up in the midwest and as soon as there was a good dusting of snow on the ground we were begging to go out and make a snowman. We built the traditional 3 tiered snowmen if we could get our huge snow balls up that high. Now that I live in Texas we get excited if we can build a snowman that is a foot tall before the “snow” all melts.
Believe it or not, even though I live in Canada where there’s a bundle of snow, I didn’t make a lot of snowmen in my life! I just hate the cold too much! But snowmen stamps are adorable, that’s for sure!
I love all snowmen, tall, short, fat, skinny, scarfs, hats etc. As a matter of fact, I decorate with snowmen from Dec-Feb in my home. All their smiling faces from every room and every angle greet me each day. Each year at least one of my Christmas cards showcases a snowman so I can share them with others.
I love…love…love…snomen. I have them all over during and after the holidays. Can you believe I only have 2 snowman stamps!!!!! It’s not right!
I hope you were able to build a snowman during our wonderful Fall snow storm! Here in Boulder we had 20″ of snow. Official total for Broomfield was 25.4 inches!
I love snowmen, they are SO jolly
I’d have to say my favorite memory of one was when my 2 yr old (now 5) went to give our snowman a hug and decided she wanted a little taste of his carrot nose! Lucky I captured it in photo too!!! Thanks for letting me reminisce!
I just remember building them living in Jersey. It was so much fun. Now I live in Florida and don’t get the chance. BooHoo. I miss it.
What fun would this set be - making snowmen to suit your every need. I bet you got to make a snowman in CO. this week!!! We came home from Denver on 10-27 - just in time to avoid the storm. Safe travels.
My family moved from Yuma, AZ to Payson, AZ in 1967. Shortly after the move it snowed 6 feet!! We made alot of snowmen!!
Ok…here are my thoughts on Snowmen! More than anything I hate a skinny snowman, he needs to be a plump, jolly old soul! He must look happy! He must have twig arms. Snowmen warm my heart~
Hope your visit with family was enjoyable and relaxing. Snowmen … when the kids were younger I loved to go out with them and make snow forts and snowmen to guard them. But they had to be big and round. Inevitably we would end up in snowball fights but it was loads of fun. Maybe when the grandkids are bigger I’ll go out with them and teach them how to make the forts and snowmen. There’s just something about seeing a smiling snowmen on your front lawn.
ooh what fab candy - thanks for the opportunity to own it, in the process of becoming a SU demonstrator so these would be fabbo.
Hmm snowmen, well when I was little we moved to a town called Buxton in Derbyshire and it was the first time I ever saw snow and it snowed a lot (for England!). We got snowed in up past the front door and eventually as it thawed me and my three brothers built an igloo in the garden using ice cream tubs to shape the bricks and a snowman bigger than me. When all the snow had gone, our snowman was still there guarding his igloo a week later

I just love snowman, just reminds me of winter.
