Frostine The Snow Woman

 It has already been a long winter and I have yet to come close to completing my 'Winter To do List'. Completing the list has been harder than I expected but I managed to check one thing off over the weekend. I built my first snow woman. I have been trying all winter but Sunday I was determined. I got bundled up, went outside and stayed outside until the job was done. It is a funny thing being an adult that has never built a snowman. I felt like a kid playing in the snow but the artist and fashionista in me wanted to create something beautiful and stylish. Since I knew I would be making a snow woman I put away items I wanted to use to style her. In a bag I had several hats I was no long able to wear due to my natural hair, a pair of broken sunglasses from this past summer, a few other odds and ends and some wax lips. I grabbed a baby carrot from my snack pack and cut some buttons off of an old ruined leather jacket. This is what I came up with.  Meet Frostine the snow woman!


 

I am not a fan of winter but I had a great time playing in the snow. Sometimes we have to make an effort to make things we would not normally appreciate into something worth experiencing. I am really proud of my first snow woman. She is stopping traffic on my street and she has been a hit on social media. It was fun creating her. I look forward to creating more snow figures in the future.

Until next time,
Be blessed, Be free, Be adventurous!
