SUGGESTIONS FOR DISPLAYING YOUR SNOWMEN

Your snowmen will look great just about anywhere you choose to display them:

• on entry hall table
• on a book shelf
• on the bathroom counter
• on your nightstand or dresser
• as a centerpiece on dining or kitchen table

Or display them like I did next to a wintery themed tiered tray on the side board in our dining area !  Every time I walk by them I smile.
