It's true!
Walk into this house and ask our kids are wishing for.... and they'll say a snow day!
We haven't had a one yet this year and the new sleds and gear look forlorn waiting for a glimpse of some flakes!
Designer Kristen Swain has the perfect way to put a sparkle in your eye and bring a bit of winter inside. Little Yellow Bicycle's Winter Twig collection makes for the perfect collection! And notice how Kristen used an empty ribbon spool for the base! What a great way to recycle and reuse!!

So very cute!!
It is nice to see some winter art still showing itself. Though it is nice to see the upcoming spring supplies, it is still winter in the Midwest :) Thanks for the opportunity to win.
What a great Idea. I love using things around the house and getting creative with them to see what I can come up with. I am on a budget and cant just go out and buy all the cute papers and everything else so I use things around the house with the things I have and do what I can. I love this snowman. It's so cute.
Fabulous idea!
A really awesome project, but I can´t agree about the point, that we should want the snow to stay, as I for one have had more than enough of this white stuff here the last 3 years, that´s for sure, and I´m so envious on you, that you haven´t had even one day, how lucky can you be? ha ha ha. Butr I know, the kids probably don´t really agree with me on that thoug he he he.
Wow, this is such a great creation. TFS.
THANKS for sharing and have a FABULOUS WEEK!! =)
I love that she used a ribbon spool. I always save my ribbon spools for projects, although I have yet to use one! :)
I love that this project uses recycled materials. The snowman is adorable.
adorable!
Great idea, love it!
Very cute and great way to up-cycle.
This is so cute, and so creative. Great idea's with upcycling. Thanks for sharing.
I'd really like to try out your adhesives. They sure seem to work on your projects! So cute.
Your snowman project is wonderful Kristen!

Very cute--great way to recycle a ribbon spool.
I've been following your blog for awhile now, but my name has never been chosen for a giveaway. I'm ready & waiting to be chosen today!
What a great idea. I like to reuse bottles to hold small supplies, but I've never decorated them.
What a good idea--using things in other ways is a cool thing to do.
Great project. I like the recycling aspect, too.
