Last year, I moved back "up north" with my son after nine years in sunny Florida. I had forgotten what a "warm" feeling you get while snuggled in a warm home basking in the beauty of the snow outside. We created funny little mounds of snow on fences and window sills which delighted up even more once back inside our toasty haven. We enjoyed the snow silhouettes created by nature herself in the form of tree angels. This delightful book, of which I purchased three alone as gifts, has inspired me to a new winter wonderway of welcoming the new millenium, creating snow art. There are such clever ideas for bringing snow joy into our lives in this book. My twelve year old son was so enthralled by the book that he said he would pay for half of it. Imagine that? With all the books available for making indoor Christmas crafts, this book reminds us of the joy of working in and with nature, all the while reflecting on how wonderful it will look and feel while snuggled back inside. A wonderfully creative and joyful book. With high regard,

When the snow starts to fall, and the winter blues get you down...pick up this book and have some fun. This book provides inspiration as well as step-by-step instructions to create wonderful snow creations. The photographs are great, and the pages are plastic coated so you can take the book outside in the snow. As the author of Aha! - 10 Ways To Free Your Creative Spirit and Find Your Great Ideas, I am always in search of fun books to add to my "inspiration library". "Snowmen" has a place on my shelves... and with the kids in the yard.

THIS BOOK IS SO CHOCK FULL OF CREATIVITY! KIDS CAN'T PUT IT DOWN! AND THERE IS A LITTLE SOMETHING IN IT FOR THE ADULT AS WELL!! ENJOY!!!

I loved the book and have tried many of the snowmen. Very fun ideas. The only problem was the spiral binding. For a book that has this many laminated pages the paper holding the spiral in isn't strong enough.

I purchased this book for our library and was really disappointed. The crafts and activities aren't very interesting and didn't inspire me to want to do a single project. For a better investment buy "Christmas Crafts and Entertaining", put out by Creative Publishing. Now that is a great book with great ideas and great instructions. I've already made two table runners.
