Blizzard Babies

I recently ordered a back issue of Cloth Paper Scissors

(November/December 2008)

I was interested in learning more about

Elizabeth St. Hilaire Nelson

(more about her in upcoming post)

Gracing the cover of this magazine were

these sparkling snowmen by Sue Pelletier.

The more I studied these little snowmen,

I gradually reazlized I had ALL the supplies

on hand to try my hand making them myself.

Then, coincidentally, Creative Workshops

offered a workshop from Sue herself.

Very few folks actually know this about me,

but I am a "workshop junkie".

Added to my snowmen weakness,

it didn't take long for me to decided to signed up.

I think Sue Pelletier is one clever gal.

Her workshop offered a tad more details

about the supplies, and the visual aid

is a big plus for me.

I found these rhinestone buckles that I

added pearl buttons to.

I used crepe paper for the ruffles, and the 2 little

snowmen are a pair of salt and pepper shakers.

Naturally I saved the caps for their hats.

Too cute don't you think?

Did you remember to "fall back"?
