I have been trying to make the snowballs from several tutorials I've found. Both
Char and
Jenn have instructions. Below are a couple of my tries. I tried them first with Mica flakes and they didn't seem to stick well. I then got into my DH's train stuff and used his snow for the train platform. SHHH don't tell. LOL!!! They looked the most realistic and held together the best. Next I'm going to try grinding up the Mica flakes and making them smaller and adding some scent. Try a few. They go together well.Be sure and check out
My Country Home to see what others are working on.
Mica flakes
Faux snow. The ones in the bowl are the closet to what the actually look like.
Today was pumpkin carving time at our house. They turned out quite well.
My nephew was here as well as help from daddy.
It snowed a little here in PA today. It really got me in the mood to work on Christmas. I can't believe how close it actually is. Time to get to work.

I like the ones with the faux snow better and never even thought of using it. GREAT idea!!!
You can also make "dirty" snowballs and sprinkle with coffee, cinnamon or cocoa:)
I LOVE how you have your light in your dining room decorated with the bittersweet:)
Oh, my they do look REAL! That's too cool!
Looks like a fun time carving pumpkins :)
Have a great day!

HI Rhonda - Thanks so much for your sweet words. Absolutely - please feel free to 'copy' anything you see! And the cone is styrofoam with pumpkins that look like big putka pods glued on it. I got it last year after Thanksgiving on closeout. I hope that helps!! Hugs, Linda
Rhonda!!
OMG is that SNOOPY? I LOVE Snoopy!
I get my wire at the Dollar Store, it comes in a package of 2 50' lengths and its nice because its not a heavy gauge! I just soak it in water for a few hours and let it dry!
