Winter Hater, Snowman Lover

I can state with absolute certainty that I hate winter! I don’t like the cold, brisk air, I don’t like the long hours of darkness and I don’t like the snow. I don’t like it that my hands, feet and nose are always freezing. I don’t like all the extra laundry there is from all the layers that I wear. I don’t like driving in snow and I definitely don’t like shoveling snow.

Now that I am done with that rant I would like to say that I adore snowmen. Even after I take down my Christmas decorations I leave my snowmen up until Spring. There is something about them that just makes me smile.

These are a few of the many that I have around my house.

I love this fabric and wood wall hanging that was a gift from my in-laws.



This is my absolute favorite. It is a foam napkin holder made by my son when he was in kindergarten. I use it to hold Christmas cards.




Now that I have shown you some of my personal snowmen, here are some that I found on Artfire.

Wonderful Wednesday

I live in New Jersey and lately it has been feeling more like winter then fall. It has been way below freezing the past couple of nights and I can't seem to get warm. This week I am featuring these great coasters from Elle Quilts. They have marshmallows wearing earmuffs on one side and the other side has pretty dots. Couldn't you just imagine these with a steaming hot cup of hot chocolate on them?

Ice Day

No school for my kids today. What started as snow yesterday turned to freezing rain overnight. This is how it looks out my window at 1:00 in the afternoon.

The teenager slept until 11:30 AM and the 12 year old has been watching TV and playing video games. I’ve been on the computer adding a Plugboard to my blog. Feel free to add a plug.

It’s getting warmer so once it gets slushy enough I’ll have to get everyone out in the rain shoveling and see if I can free my car.

I HATE WINTER!
