Snowmen

I told you last week about the Missing Snow in my Georgia garden. I am not without the feel of snow in my life during long cold winters. I just make my own snowy fun.

Welcome to my snowy home! Once inside the house, you are greeted by smiling snowmen. In this case, in the form of a snowman wreath that the Saints mother made for us. Thanks Mom B we love the wreath!

To the left of the foyer you will find my whimsical snowman garland. I had fun creating this little bit of happiness. Last year I had the Snowman Christmas tree coordinating but changed things up a bit this year. You already saw my Snowman Tree with my Christmas decorations just before the holiday. It is now tucked away until next Christmas.

The little frolicking snowman bring a smile to my face all winter long as they stay in place to give me a bit of color and snow in this warm climate.

The 6 plush snowmen have jumped from the tree onto a new garland. Now we have frolicking snowmen playing on the stairs while facing the other frolicking snowmen on the living room opening. I just wonder what all they get into during the night when we sleep? I have found a few of them on the floor the next morning. Hum, I wonder if our mischievous cat Sheba had anything to do with that?

Sheba had guilt written all over her face the day I found her standing over one while it was on the floor. I had to twist the garland sprigs over the arms and legs to keep the snowmen in place. Bad kitty...

I found this cute snowman plaque at a Craft Fair made from a piece of scrap wood! This wood stayed out of the land fill. Hand painted and cute as can be.
I found this little snowman item at the Craft Store I worked at while living in Germany. I tell you, there are some talented crafters out there!

This is a another new addition this year. The Saints sister gave us this neat gift. It is a piece of metal as you would see in an old store's ceiling. Not sure if this is recycled or new but darling with all the changeable magnets for the center! Winter snowman for now. Soon the Easter bunny will be center stage. Thanks again Sis for the wonderful gift!

An item picked up at discount price after the season. I love after Christmas shopping for the house. I need to stop as I am running out of room! Ugh, Saint says I am hooked or is it hopeless he says?
My little corner shelf (hand made by my dads foster brother) has lots of snowmen hanging out. Either given to us as gifts or picked up at discount prices after the season. Lets now leave the foyer and go into the hallway beyond and see what's in there.

Another of my crafted garlands. I love bargain hunting and making things on the cheap. I made this little pretty for about $4.00. Not bad if I do say so myself. Yep, Saint, I am hopelessly hooked! Sigh... there are worse things in life to be hooked on.

Below this snowman is more to share with you but I think I will wait until tomorrow. I am sure by now you are all cold and need a cup of hot chocolate. Go get warm and I hope you have enjoyed seeing my many SNOWMEN, not In the Garden...
