Laura, these two are precious...I'm a little disappointed you didn't get out there and make them yourself! :-)Avril Young January 05, 2010
awesome DD work Laura...they look like the have white jackets on... #8270915Michelle Alton January 05, 2010
Beautifully done...All the steps, if one thinks of them, are quite easily accomplished, so we're probably all going to build some snow people (NOT) and experiment! #8270957Jeff Robinson January 05, 2010
Off into the sunset..... Terrific capture and story Laura! Jeff #8271068Ron McEwan January 05, 2010
Hi Laura, have a moment here, rush, rush, rush. On the way back to KC to check in on Mom. Great snow men series, sure feels like the season when I look at them nice work for sure. #8271463Monnie Ryan January 05, 2010
They hitched a ride in a nice warm car?? Hmmm, maybe this is how this country became known as the great melting pot! :-) Another great capture, Laura -- I just love that green scarf! #8271604Lindley Johnson January 05, 2010
I love all of your images of these snow people, Laura. Terrific color and great fun! #8271841Laura E. Swan January 05, 2010
You guys have me smiling as big as they guys were when they got a ride with the ICE CREAM TRUCK. I hope he let them sit in the back? HA!Thanks so much: Joannie, Avril, Michelle, Jeff, Ron, Monnie, and Lindley.
So nice to see a couple new faces and always a pleasure to see my golden ones!
Ron, thanks for the visit. I know you dont have much time right now going back and fourth. I haven't stopped praying for your Mom.
I enjoyed your sweet and funny comments all. Yes Michelle! Easy stuff most of it. That's why I like to share because it doesnt take much to take a regular shot and give it the help it needs, if you know the right combos!
THANKS FOR LOOKING!
