| I love collecting snowmen! My dear friend and college roomate, Judy, made this darling quartet of snowmen for me several years ago. I enjoy displaying it every winter. I added a few extra soft flannel snowmen that I made. The musically gifted snowman was a delightful Craft Faire purchase. |

Did You Know? ***All snowflakes have six sides. ***The largest snowflakes ever recorded fell in the state of Montana. The snowflakes were 15 inches in diameter. ***The snow capital of the USA is Stampede Pass in Washington State. Each year the average snow fall is 430 inches. ***The average snowflake falls at a speed of 3.1 mph. ***Billions of snowflakes fall in one short snowstorm. ***Eskimos have 52 words for snow.

Carolynn,
Your home looks so beautiful and inviting. I do love a yellow house - we live in one, too!
What a warm and welcoming post!
You have such a beautiful home! And I love snowmen, too...and posted one today! Enjoy your week! Sweet Southern hugs, Diane
New follower. Love your snowmen...I too collect them. Love my little snowpeople. Love your blog!!! :)
We are so alike. I love snowmen too and have tons of them all over the house. I did not know all of that snow trivia. My sister lives in WA but I never knew the most snow falls up there but I guess that makes sense with all the rain they get. Happy New Year!
Can you imagine 15" snowflakes???? I love your snowmen. They are all so cute. I have a few but haven't really collected them.
What interesting facts- I did not know ANY of them! I hope you have a blessed Christmas week- xo Diana
Many thanks Carolyn I too have enjoyed your posts tremendously. Is this really your home???? How lovely!
Merry Merry Christmas and have a wonderful time with your family ...best wishes for a bright New Year
Amanda :-)
No wonder we are friends... My house is yellow too! Lovely post! Happy New Year dear Carolynn!
What a perfect time for snowmen! Snow seems to be everywhere! I do have a collection--but who knows where! Haven't seen them in years. I'll just enjoy yours!
Hugs,

Hi Carolynn, I loved all the facts about snow. I learned something! I love snowmen so much too. We were so happy to have a day of snow where there was enough for Mary to make a snowman!
Since I'm a Southern CA.girl, I can't enjoy the snow unless I take a trip to the Mountains.Since I love the Mountains too,I look forward to any trip I can get.Poor Me though, My hubby doesn't feel the same.All you girls are fortunate to know Christmas in the snow. Some day maybe for Me :)
Love the snow facts. We get an average of 40 inches here in our neck of the woods in Michigan. Got 3 inches on Christmas Eve and another 8 yesterday. Love your home and snowman. Janice
What a beautiful home you have!
Your snowmen are adorable, I love the lady with the skinny legs.
I'd like to invite you to link with us as well, we'd love to have you!
Happy new year!

Oh my sweet friend I love your cozy cottage! The quotes and interesting facts were both wonderful and fun! I too have a collection of snowmen. Although last year I gave an entire large tote full of them to my newly married son and dil. Snow makes the world so beautiful and what a welcoming quench for our dear earth. It will make Spring so much more lovely! You are one of my newly counted blessings for 2012! Have a wonderful New Year.

My darling friend and adopted momma! What a lovely post. Your snowmen are so sweet and your home is gorgeous! I so wish I could visit you and meet you in person and give you a big hug. Then you could give me a tour of your beautiful home and we would have such fun chatting, crocheting and sewing! I enjoyed reading about the snowflakes! I loved the beautiful Bible verse too! I love you very much sweetie!!! xoxo Paula
PS~ I hope you got my thank you email! I love my gifts and am enjoying them so much!!! Thank you with all of my heart!
Hi Carolyn! Thank you so much for all your sweet comments on my blog. I feel sooooo hugged! I love blogging - and meeting new friends. Your blog is darling - I love your yellow house! Soooo country.

Your snowmen are adorable and I love all the facts about snowflakes you shared. By the way, I love your cheerful blog header too! Thanks for sharing at Knick of Time Tuesday - I'll be featuring you next week!
Your yellow house is so pretty in the snow! I've always wanted a yellow house.
Those snowmen are just adorable! I wish it would snow. I thought I saw a few snowflakes yesterday but then it just turned to sleet.
Hi carolynn, I hope your well? I love snow ,but we don't get it very often in these parts of the U.k. the children love it too,especially when they get time out from school! I hope You and yours had a wonderful Christmas and I wish you a very happy and peaceful New year, hugs JulieXx
I wish we had snow here! Not much chance of that on the Gulf Coast!
Oh, your home looks so cozy in the snow! What a pretty sight. Have a great New Years! ~Angela~

What a lovely post....I would have loved to see those enormous snowflakes in Montana! :)
I just put most of my Christmas-y snowmen away but have left a few out for January ( and we have the real stuff outside too :)
Happy New Year! :0 )
What a great post. I love to watch the snow fall, and the flakes are all so beautiful in the sun. Thanks for joining TTT. Hugs, Marty
We had beautiful snow last night! I agree, it did seem like the whole Earth was whispering! Happy New Year!
Carolyn, I love the snowmen that you made. I think I had a pattern for them, but never got them made. So cute. Have a Happy New Year!
Such gorgeous collection.
Have a prosperous New Year!

We finally got snow in Ohio the week after christmas. I love your blog and can't wait to follow you into 2013!
Merry Christmas Dear Miz Caroline!
I have missed you at flickr. How nice to have snow to watch, it can be dreamy and magical. As long as I don't have to drive in it! The older I get the less I like to drive in bad weather. I imagine you are used to it though.
Wonderful post!
Love and southern hugs!
Marcie
It has been very chilly here, but no snow yet.
Love the snow and love your house. It looks so dreamy sitting in her blanket of snow. Thank you for sharing this at the Make it Pretty Monday party at The Dedicated House. Hope to see your prettiness again on Monday. Toodles, Kathryn @TheDedicatedHouse
