Oh dear, I'm going to be last again! MURIE mine is almost the same as yours lol, and I'm going to put a lid on with a light! will try to upload again now. Loving what everyone has done.

Ok let's try again.

The gloves are lovely PLUMDUFF.

Ha ha at the Blues Brothers comment PINKSTEPS, they actually do look like them, plus delicious

FREE another gorgeous one - how do you keep the snow piled up at one side, is it glued? I'd like to have a go at these.

Nice to see you back DOMRAVIOLI and sorry that you've had such a rough year.

MURIE, what can I say, great minds think alike!

TREASUREQUEEN I'm def going to write down how I did it this time because trying to upload has driven me mad today! On the iPad I finally did it by choosing to share the pic then choosing copy and then it finally gave me the img share option. Up until that point I just didn't have the option.

VULPIX, don't know what I did earlier, just know I couldn't do it again when I tried!

murie

Peppa--SNAP!! (I only did mine yesterday lol) Where dd you get the larger tree from?

Peppapig

MURIE, It was one that I bought to do a Christmas scene in one of my dolls houses but I didn't use it so I dabbed some white emulsion on it and used it here instead.:D

Peppapig

Sorry for the multiple posts - what's next month's challenge 0462?

mrs-moneypenny

I definately can't pick a favourite, everyone's snow challenges are brilliant.
Well done to everyone that took part.

I love these challenges as it's really got me in the Christmas mood. I wouldn't have knitted these gloves and now I am knitting a toy snowman as well. Meant to get it finished for today but running behind.

Last weekend I checked out my pressie cupboard and found things I'd forgotten I'd bought. So I have plenty of bits and pieces. I still have to buy eldest ds and dd their presents. This is the first Christmas in many years that my dd will be home and I'm so excited. I've no idea what to get her as she will be be going abroad again in January and always travels light. Any ideas on what to buy a world traveller???

Can't wait to hear what the next challenge is xx

Beautiful! I can picture it now twinkling away with the Christmas tree up, a nice Yankee candle burning and a festive hot chocolate

Looking great!

Ooooh well done on the crafts, I'm afraid I haven't felt 100% but managed to make these yesterday even though my DS asked why would I want to make gingerbread snowmen that look like the blues brothers. He still ate them though!

You did make me chuckle as they do look like festive blues brothers lol
Great job though

Hi, Murie, Freespirit and Pinksteps - I love your challenges. Its great to see what others are doing and get ideas. I've knitted snowmen fingerless gloves. They're adult size and now I have to figure out how to make them for my 3 year old granddaughter xx

I am in awe, I can just about make the simplest of patterns, so this to me is amazing!
