It's Raining Snowmen ~~~ Hallelujah!

Hey there.

 Want a very quick crafty gift

that's not too expensive?

Get to Kohl's (or where ever)

and purchase some nice winter

gloves that happen to be on sale

right now, and be sure to use

your discount coupons.

Then stop by the nearest

grocery store to purchase

some regular sized bags of

microwave popcorn, not the mini size.

Try not to add your two cents into

a conversation a young couple are

having about purchasing popcorn.

He: I want it to taste good.

She:  I want this 'natural' type.

He:  I guess we can add salt and butter at home.

She:  Looks it's whole grain!

He:  This one looks good ~~~ butter!

She: I want this one, it's healthy and it's

whole grain...

Me:  In my head ~~

ALL popcorn is whole grain.

Go purchase a popcorn popper,

and a Costco sized container of

Orville Redenbacher, some oil

and a shaker of popcorn salt.

You'll be miles ahead in taste

and it's much less expensive in the long

run.  Plus you are taking way

too long to make a decision....

and I've got to get home to make

these cute little popcorn snowmen

that was  a last minute decision

because I found these cute gloves

at Kohl's and would you mind

moving out of the way.

I just want to buy that box of

10 popcorn bags because I just

purchased 10  pairs of gloves....

The designer of this popcorn

wrapper offers them for free

and you can download them

from her site here:

In order to save yourself

a couple hours of frustration

trying to get them to print,

just go to the following link

 where the wrapper design

 is ready to to print...

Use card stock if you can,

but regular paper would also work.

Be sure to print in landscape format,

otherwise you'll be wishing you had

an extra set of hands to manage

to get the edges to meet in the middle

of the backside of your snowman. 

See there, I'm saving you

all the headaches and time.

 I know this idea

 has been around  for quite awhile,

but my group of friends

 were thrilled yesterday.

I folded and taped up the bottom

(like a gift box)

so the popcorn wouldn't slip out.

Use up some fabric scraps in your

stash for a scarf and a bit of ribbon

to tie the glove fingers together for a topknot.

There you have it.

A sweet little snowman gift

made with a pair of gloves

 and a bag of popcorn.

  Perhaps you could add a package of

cocoa and marshmallows

in a cute little snowman mug.
