While I was putting away my Christmas goodies I was reminded of the cute boxes I put under my snowman tree. A few years ago I bought them at a Christmas Fair. They were all made from Christmas cards with one exception. A cute little stamped snowman box. They are just folded and glued together. Perhaps you have directions for making one. Just thought I would share the idea. Love you. Aunty Patty I’m so glad so many are enjoying this simple and productive craft.
