Escapee do you live where you get any snow at all or just some colder weather once in a while in the winter?

Julie have your kids made any snowmen? Wonderful darling middle school kids made a snowman in our yard while they were waiting on the bus today. Guess I should be glad it wasn't vandalism like normal. Or maybe it was cuz Frosty was giving people the finger as they drove by. Until it melted off. *L*

It hasn't snowed where I live in about 7 years. We get to about freezing at nights when it's clear, but during the day in the winter it holds steady at around 55. Not terrible, but could be colder for my liking. It's 53 outside right now and looks like it could rain. We used to get a TON of rain here, but not so much the past few years. It snows to the east of us, the closer you get to Reno & Tahoe. Wish it snowed. That'd be cool. Our elevation is only about 60 ft. ASL.

Where we cut that tree is usually under a foot or two of snow this time of year.

Cute pictures Escapee. Love the tongue one! Here is a snowman that dh made for Abby yesterday. It is hard to make snowmen with this kind of snow. They eyes are blueberries and he almost smooshed them flat trying to get them in!

What was the verdict? Did the cat taste good?

I'm not sure if I could live somewhere there wasn't snow at least part of the winter. Now the past two winters was a little extreme! But I want snow for Christmas!!!!! I think the lights twinkle that much brighter when there's snow on the ground/bushes/trees/roofs.

Cool snowman, esp if it's not packing snow. It's so warm here that today would have been awesome for the kids to play in the snow had they not had school.

Thanks WG!! Love having a girl. Especially a girly girl who loves tights and pink and hairbows as much (or more) than I do!!!

Hey my tie-in to the Holiday Thread is the snow--as I posted in the picture above "It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas." And all my pics are snow or Christmas or snow related.

Dang, I really miss my Beanie kitty. It will be 1 year this month that he's been gone. He was like the best dog we ever had.

NEW QUESTION

Anyone know of any cute ornaments that kids could make using an everyday object?
(An example is making a santa out of a 1" paintbrush. You paint the handle red and put a pompom on the end. There is a hole in the handle for a string hanger. Make a face above the bristles, using googly eyes and a pompom nose.)

LOVE the village! My dad's wife used to create really elaborate ones, but she hasn't done one in a few years. I think they are cool to look at, since there's always something hidden that you miss... like a few years ago she hid a kitty kat underneath an Xmas tree!

Painting pine cones like Christmas trees was always a fun one. Paper Chains. Any foam balls you can buy at any craft store to decorate with various things.

Not sure how simple you want or what age the kids are. These guys were made by my niece when she was about 10. Very simple, it's just teeny little terra cotta pots (about 2" tall) that cost about a quarter (I think I got 5 for a dollar). Craft paint, glue, gold elastic thread, little felt for the arms and pompoms for buttons, hair and top of hat.

Yes, that is the kind of stuff I am looking for!! Maybe a little bit more simple, but that's what I am looking for!! How'd they attach a hook or loop at the top?

Rissa...that's very cool.

Julie...you could bend a large paper clip and place it in the hole of the pot. Part of the paper clip sticking out like a loop and the other part used to wedge it in there.

I think I might be using Rissa's project myself.

You talking to me? YOU talking to me? You TALKING to me? (Do I sound like Pacino? LOL) If you are then the pots have a hole in the top, before you glue the 'hat' on you just put a string/thin rope through the hole and tie a knot big enough so I doesn't pull through.
