Snowman Kapoosh

Does winter feel like it's dragging on? After the excitement of the holidays and the beginning of a new year, the rest of winter just seems to drag on. Have a little fun with it, think about the things that make winter beautiful and fun.

One of my favorite things about winter is the snow. We don't have much of it out my way this year, so I thought I would bring a little snow and winter beauty to my kitchen. I love playing in the snow, and building snowmen, if I can't have one in my yard, why not have one on my counter.
