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.
