A Snowball Fight!

Yesterday my husband came home from work and asked, "What did you do today, just run around flinging snow everywhere?"  Yep, Honey, that's exactly what I did.

I was on the hunt for more snowball ornaments.  I use them all over my house to turn the inside into a Winter Wonderland.  All my favorite stores didn't have snowball ornaments this year, so I decided  to take matters into my own hands.  Nature Girl and I were making our own...

Here is what we came up with.

We started with a styrofoam ball.

A package of glitter snow from Walmart, one of the only stores where we could still purchase faux snow this year.  The other stores in my area were out and not getting any more Christmas shipments.

We used the iridescent snow.  Makes for gorgeous flakes!

Covered the entire thing with glue...  

Rolled it in the flakes.

(Beware, don't do this if your kitchen is clean and you want to keep it that way...  Thankfully mine was still a jumbled Christmas mess...)

And this is our end result, a bucket of snowballs that won't melt all over the house!  We love them even more than we thought we would.  Now if I can just keep my nephew, Bo, away from them, all will be well!

Well, maybe just one indoor snowball fight is called for.  It is the Christmas season, after all!
