Black Friday Craft Project 2012

Once again my daughter and I spent Black Friday crafting instead of battling  crowds of shoppers. 
This year's craft was a sock snowman.
I started looking for an appropriate Black Friday Craft project beginning in October. 
Pinterest provided the research venue. The inspiration for this project can be found at the following link:

The blog described using a small white sock for both the face and the hat. We decided to use a white sock for the face, and a holiday sock from the Dollar Tree for the hat.
Some other changes we made; using Puff paint, for the eyes and mouth, beads for the eyes, and holiday buttons for the hat embellishment.
In addition we gave each of the snowmen, a different personality.

 
We watched movies while we crafted and had a wonderful time talking and working together. 
I treasure these times with my daughter, because I know that very soon we may not be able to spend this kind of time together.
Last year, we began this tradition with creating Christmas trees: A Little Fun on the Day After Thanksgiving
We ended up making 22 snowmen and some precious memories at the same time.
