It's also time to post the items that I have gathered for the ......
"Whirl into Winter Giveaway!!"
And here they are! There's a little something for everyone in this assortment. For those who enjoy scrapbooking there's a pad of pretty blue and white papers and some envelopes for creating custom cards. There's a little snowman photo/scrapbook to journal about favorite winter memories and some stickers to decorate the pages. There are some candles to light the night if a winter storm leaves you with a power outage (not fun) and if you live where there is no snow, well, I have provided you with a giant glittery snowflake to hang that will remind you of all of us who are knee deep or more in snow and ice this winter!!! There are little boxes filled with sweet treats and a tiny tin filled with some little surprises. And then there are three matching snowflake tins filled with more surprises!! The tins may match but each is a different size and each holds a different surprise. Are you wondering what might be in the tins? Here's a clue.......soft and nice to touch. No, it's not a rabbit in a tin but if you want to find out what is in the each one, check back on the days I'll be posting their contents and each one will be a "Snowflake Surprise"!!!! I'll reveal what is in the tins on separate days - Tin #1 will be revealed on Jan. 5th, Tin # 2 on Jan. 10th and Tin #3 on Jan. 15th. So, how can you win this batch of goodies? Well, here are my rules..............
1. Leave a comment on this post for one chance to enter. Your comment must include a link to your blog or an e-mail address. If you do not leave a contact link, your comment will not be entered in the drawing.
2. You may begin leaving comments at midnight tonight - in other words when Dec. 31 ends and Jan. 1 begins, you can leave me a comment. I will be taking comments through midnight Jan. 15th and will draw the name then and post it on Jan. 16th.
3. Your comment must include the answer to the following question - "Have you ever seen snow?" Then if you want to tell me more, I'd love to hear it but that's all it takes to get a chance to win the goodies you see in the picture.

Hi, and Happy New Year!
Love your giveaway, totally awesome.
Don't usually get snow here where I live, but occasionally we do.
I love it when we do, as the kids just go crazy...snowball fights, building tiny little snowman (as there usually isn't much to use), and getting freezing cold fingers and toes! Going home for piping hot coffee or chocolate for the kids.
cheers Julz
Hi Sandi, first time I found you blog. I live in Queensland, Australia and the last few days it has been extremely hot 40deg. I have seen snow in Victoria but they actually use a snow machine for the ski slopes, I was so excited to see it, it was -5deg and I thought that was cold. My husband is from Cornwall and can't understand why i get excited about seeing snow.Hapy New year.Deb.
Hello Sandi, Happy New Year to You.We live by the coast, it can be very bitter in Winter, as to Snow we have to travel some three to fours away.One Year we took our DD and because she is such a grand horserider she took to skiing like a duck to water.She was a natural.As to me I sat in the Chalet by the fire with a Hot Chocolate and read a book.DH and DD had a wonderful day.Regards Lyn

ggiirrlll-I am from East Texas. I have seen snow, but not very much. Great GiveAway. Can't wait to see what is in all these darlin boxes.
Great giveaway! I have seen snow, way more than I care too. I've lived in Ohio for 58 years .... sometimes it's fun to watch if fall and sometimes it's a pain if you need to out on the roads. I still love snow!
Have I ever seen snow? You are serious, right? Snow!!!!! This part of the country INVENTED snow! It flurries, it blizzards, it blows! Already we've shoveled and shoveled and shoveled. And, oh, yes, I've built my snowman for the year. You can see her (the blonde snowperson) at my blog. Come on over!
What a super giveaway.
Have we seen snow?? We live in southern Ontario, Canada and oh, do we ever see snow. We had a ton of it before Christmas. White Christmas is pretty -- but I wish it would leave on Boxing Day!
I live in Maine...I've never NOT seen snow! (Although the year we got married- 1982 was the openest winter ever. Almost no snow that year even in the White Mountains of NH ;) Have been visiting all the blogs as they popped up with a link...will be back!

Happy Quilty 2009! I grew up in Nebraska so yes I have seen lots of snow! I now live in Perth Western Australia and my two youngest girls have never seen snow. And I'll tell you a secret, I don't miss snow at all! Sending warm thoughts you way...
Hi Sandi,
Yes I have seen snow and have played in it :)) Our local mountain regularly gets snow in the winter and it is a popular spot for locals and ourists to visit.

I'm so sorry you have a cold.
I'm excited for your lessons!!
What a lovely group of prizes.
Happy New Year!
Yes I've definitely seen snow...I grew up in Montreal Canada! Now being in the UK I'm lucky to see snow fall once a year. :o)
I used to live in Minnesota and YES I have seen snow!!! I remember driving through canyons of snow where the snowblowers had carved a path through giant snowdrifts.
I also remember 36" of snow that fell on Halloween!
I moved to California ten years ago and didn't see 'real' snow until one March at a renaissance faire where they got over eight inches of snow! You'd have to have been there to imagine what a mess that was! lol

Living in Wyoming, I've grown up with snow. It's snowing right now! Happy New Year to everyone-Hugs Kay M. (petking@vcn.com)
Thank you for sharing all these gifts in your give away. I live in Norway and have seen snow! I live in the southern part of Norway and we don't always have much snow. Some years there can be too much and others just for some days or so. Right now we have a light cover with snow so it is white.
Happy new year to you!
hi,
loving your giveaway!
it used to snow where we lived when i was a child and i absolutely loved it!

Great giveaway! Yes, I've seen snow every winter of my 50 years.

I have seen and lived in snow. I prefer my warm sunny florida sky.
It has been so long since I have actually seen snow "for real". I used to live in Illinois...20 years....but for the past 14, have been living in the "south"....Florida, Virginia, and now South Carolina...so, other than frozen water falling out of the sky, only to melt when it touches the ground, it's been a while.
Snow..we get more than enough of it! I saw it snowing last night!!
Happy New Year!

We moved to Florida in 1982 from Connecticut. We saw lots of snow then. We spent 2 winters in Upstate New York back in 2000-2001 and saw more snow than I ever want to see again. We were right outside of Fort Drum off Lake Ontario. Way too much lake effect snow for me!
Happy New Year! Yes, I have seen snow. We don't get as much as I would like here in NC but I do love to see a good snow in the winter.
Your "snowy giveaway" is great! I have seen snow many times in Oklahoma. Since we don't get it often, it's a thrill each time :)
I enjoy your blog so much! Karen
As a child I saw snow every year. Iloved it. Living here in Florida I hardly ever see it.
Happy New Year.
Yippiee thank you for the chance to win!!
Yes I've seen snow, shoveled snow, drove in snow. Had snow stuffed down my back ekkkk LOL used to live in NJ gots lots of snow!!! Our big snow here in NC was in 1989 yikes 15 inches!! Our town is not equipted to handle all that!
Hugs Tango
Yes, I sure have. When I lived in NY I saw lots and lots of the white stuff. Loved it when I had kids at home but now have all the fun memories. NanaBarto@aol.com
Snow??? Does the 18 inches that were in my front yard last week count?? We see snow!!!!
Great giveaway!
www.piecesfromme.blogspot.com
Okay...here is my Jan. 1 official entry comment for you nice prize......I HAVE seen snow...more than I cared to see many winters in NJ. Now, though, we live in southern Delaware and while we do have 4 seasons, we see little snow...and that is FINE by me!!! :)
Go to my blog if you want to enter for my prize in Whirl into Winter.

Great give-away thanks! I'm in Florida now but yes, I've seen snow. So deep one winter it covered our car. Hooray for Florida
Have I seen snow? All I need to do is look out the window. We are lucky with only about an inch on the ground, but we do get lots in Ohio!
First time at your site and love it. Have I ever seen snow? Plenty over the years, since we lived in Colorado for so long. I love the glistening pure white of fresh fallen snow. Don't love shovelling, but love to watch it fall and run and jump in it. We've had so much fun sledding, tubing and skiing with our children in the snow, it brings back warm (no pun intended) memories for us all. Love the snow and now live in the desert where snowfall is a rare event, but when it does come, it's still just as beautiful.

PS- I LOVED your fam photos in the following posts. Jacob is so sweet, give a hug to your granson for me:) And, ohh... your elegant Mother M Lynn there, say I said a smiling broad Hello for her.
I have seen snow but as I have lived most of my life in Florida, it hasn't happened often.
Happy New Year and thank you for the contest!
I have seen snow several times this year already but no BIG SNOW and that is what I am waiting for!!
All the best wishes for you, Sandi! Yes, I have seen snow. Quite frequently, actually. Even at the end of 2008 (pictures on my blog). you have some gorgeous giveaways. Look forward to your free pattern, tips etc and what is hidden in the tins!
BTW, love your beagle. We have one too, almost nine and getting old. Somehow they can look so sad!
Happy New Year to you! I have seen lots of snow. I grew up in NY City, and can remember many snow days and snowball fights.
~Carlotta~
In 1989, my nearly 9yr old daughter prayed, & believed, she would see snow on her birthday. Talk about child like faith. We live in north Florida, where it is extremely rare to ever have any snow fall, let alone enough to cover the ground.
Sure enough, on her birthday, December 22, we awoke to falling snow, and a snow covered lawn. It wasn't long before we had little Floridian Snowmen.
As expected, the electricity was out for several days. We had neither a fire place, or a gas heater. We had 4 young children, including an infant that was 2 weeks old.
However, despite it all, I will never forget the precious memories of that year. With faith renewed, I remember sitting by the Christmas tree with our little family, and singing Christmas carols by candlelight as I played the autoharp.
Yes, we had snow. (=

Happy New Year!! I love snow as long as I don't have to go anywhere!! lol We have already had 2-3 inches in December. Hopefully that will be it for the season, but I doubt it....
Snow? I'm looking at snow right now and it's really cold here in Norwalk, CT, USA - 18 degrees F - Brrrrrrr! Please enter me. Happy New Year.

Oh yes, I've seen snow!! Here in mid Michigan, we had the second highest snowfall on record in December!!
Happy New Year, Sandi!!! I really like the snowmen at the top of your blog.
I used to live in snowy winter country, but I've been in Florida for many years. I was here and watched it snow in South Florida in 1977. Two years ago, I went to Europe. It was May, but there was snow on the mountains. I threw a snowball at my brother, for old times' sake!

Yes, I've seen snow. It has only snowed a few times here in Alabama in my life time, but I lived in Alaska for three months during January, February, and March one year and discovered that although the snow is beautiful I do not care to deal with it every day.
Have a Blessed New Year!
Diane
Have I ever seen snow!! Ha! One look at my recent blog photos will answer that question! We had a VERY white Christmas this year!!!

I live in Georgia, but have seen enough snow to wish I lived in a colder climate. Maybe I would just like a trial period, say for one winter? LOL
ljeannej@yahoo.com
I love your giveaway prizes. I have seen snow many times. A lot more when I was a kid. I remember it usually started snowing around Thanksgiving and we had snow usually until the end of February into March sometimes. I loved it but then I was just a kid. The climate in IN sure has changed.

I grew up in Florida until I was 22 and then moved to Hawaii for a year. I then moved to San Diego for a year. After that my husband was transferred to Virginia. On our trip their we stopped at the Grand Canyon (in March) and there was snow everywhere! I was 24 years old. The next winter in Virginia I saw snow fall for the first time. It was beautiful. I miss the chance for it.
Happy New Year!

Love your giveaway. SNOW they said on the news last night we had 38 days of at least a trace of snow or more. Snowiest December for Minnesota. But I love the snow as long as I don't have to drive in it :)
YES! I've seen snow. I love the snow. I've lived my whole life in northern Illinois, so snow is a regular part of our winter.
Happy New Year!

"Have you ever seen snow?"
While growing up in So Calif, we had a mountain cabin (complete with outhouse!)...and I loved to be there in the snow.
And, we'd get snow maybe once a year in the high desert. My folks just had 18 inches about 2 weeks ago!
We do get snow here in north central TX too...usually ice/sleet, but had about 12" or so last year.
Sally in TX

HI Sandy! Happy New Year. This is a great give-away.
And yes, I've seen snow, I've cursed snow, I've eaten snow, and I've built snow forts. LOL.
But to watch the pure awe in someone's eyes when they see it and touch it for the first time makes me realize how wonderful it truly is.
Happy New year!
Count me in!!!
We got snow for the first time in 20 years and it was a whirl wind!

I have seen snow. Eastern NC doesn't see alot of snow thank goodness.
I can see snow at this very moment. We have had too much for Seattle folk already this winter.
a.noel140@gmail.com
I HAVE seen snow but it is rare here in Texas. Though, where I lived in college it did snow a lot. I like the snow and being able to wear warm coats and scarves and come inside from the cold. it's also nice to look out at the snow from a warm house and see it falling gently to the ground.
Happy New Year!

What a fun giveaway!
I have definitely seen snow. My first winter in Boston I made fun of an impending snowstorm (called a Nor'Easter up there) and then we got about 30 inches of snow! I never made fun of a Nor'Easter again! Have a wonderful new year.
The Yellow Spoon
Have you ever seen snow like this before? We've had 60 inches so far this year, and it's snowing again. Although it's beautiful, I'm ready for a break in the snow.
rsgrandinetti(at)yahoo(dot)com
YES!!!! I'm seeing it right now!
I see snow every winter, sometimes a little and sometimes a lot. This year-way to much!!! LOL I love containers-tin, wood, etc. My son says I'm a packrat :)
I'm looking out my window and I see lots and lots of snow. I sure is pretty, but I'm glad I'm indoors. brrr..
Happy New Year.
Not only have I seen snow, I have seen perfectly formed snowflakes!
Wow Sandi! Aren't you just making friends fast! I've lived south Texas my entire life and have had the random snow storm, but never anything like they see in the north. It never stays on the ground very long.
I hope your holidays were great. I'll drop in again soon dear friend ...

Count me in! I see snow today. It snowed for our last day in 2008. And more to come tomorrow.
Jen :)
Well, yes i have seen snow, the last time was when my husband took me to the snow for my birthday, but threw a snowball in my eye, which i get to bring up when ever we talk about the snow. Which isn't too often in the winterless southern california.
i would love to be enetered for this, my blog is deathbydenim.blogspot.com
and my email is codiandtim@gmail.com
Oh my gosh have I ever seen snow? WAY too much this past December. This past December we had freezing rain, sleet, zero-visibility fog, torrential rain, flooding AND somewhere near 45inches of snow with -30 below zero wind chill temps. Oh and I forgot the 40mph winds causing blizzard conditions too. I THINK it's called winter but considering we've had the mess from all other seasons mixed into one, I had to keep checking my calendar. LOL Gosh, it was a fun month.
Anyone want some snow? Come on over and you can take it.
VickiT
Yes, I have seen lots of snow this Winter! Thanks for entering me into your giveaway!
I've seen snow and I don't like it. Thats why I live in Southern California
luckydolls123[at]verizon[dot]net
What a wonderful giveaway!! Lots of fun! Have I seen snow? Absolutely! Here in Ontario we are usually up to our eyeballs in the stuff - and I love it!
Hi Sandy! Glad to have discovered your blog. Thanks for your generosity. Yes, I have seen snow, but not "Big Snow." I live in Atlanta. We occasionally get snow, but just several inches. We do love it anyway.
Great giveaway! Mine starts on Friday so please stop by.
May the new year hold many wonderful possibilities for you.
Great giveaway! Thanks so much! And yes I've seen snow...living in Ohio it we get more than enough of the white stuff!
I live in Illinois, of course I've seen snow! I've eaten it too! We make snow ice cream each year, from the cleanest, first snow!
Oopsies, forgot my email.

I live with snow--being that I'm in the far north. Thanks for sharing.
Hello Sandi!
Your blog is one of my favorites.
To answer the questions: We have snow in the east of Austria twice a year (never on christmas eve). But we already had enough to build a snowman in october and we had some snowing before christmas.
I love snow, I yould like to have some more.
I have seen snow - lots and lots of snow!
Hi Sandi, love the way your doing your giveaway.
I have seen snow, even though we very seldom get it. Matter of fact we received some this year for the first time in a while. I posted pictures a couple of post back.

Hi Sandi! Happy New Year. Let's see. It was actually 6 years ago to the day, that I left So. Calif. (where I was born and raised) and moved to Maryland, leaving behind all those I loved to marry and be with hubby. Two months later, we were pounded with a big snowstorm and couldn't get out and about for 4 days. That was my very first encounter with snow. I loved it (until it became cold, dirty slush!) Haven't seen anything like it since. Maybe this year? Please enter me in your drawing! imallyv@aol.com
Happy New Year! I have seen snow, although not tons of it. I've lived in the South my whole life, so most years there's not too much snow.
Have I seen snow???
Wow, we have lived in Oklahoma City, Dallas, Salt Lake City, and Kansas City among others. These, however, have all had snows while we were there.
Yes, I have seen plenty of snow. We lived in IN, CO, MI, IA, MN and OH. Lots of snow!
Please enter me in your great giveaway.

Yes, I see snow all around - we have had 40 inches this last month.

We barely get a few flakes if we are lucky a year. But I remember as a small child my granny going outside and putting a metal bowl on the ground to catch snow and mking cream. This was in Piedmont, Alabama. A great place to grow up.
Thank you for entering me in your contest and here is my blog where there is a free give a way also.

Happy New Year to you Sandi! Please enter me in your "Whirl into Winter". I am a PA gal and "YES" snow is something I truly love and I do see it during the winter months, the more the better! Thank you!
Hooray for SNOW! I was born and raised in Michigan and now am married to a wonderful Aussie man living in hot steamy Brisbane, Queensland, Australia! It's summer here now and it is HOT! I'd love some snow...please send me some! :)
Happy New Year!

Thanksk for a fun giveaway! Yes, I've seen lots of snow...we've lived all over the country with the military. We love snow!
What a fabulous giveaway!! Have I ever seen snow. How about over 50cm just in December!!
Oh, boy! We almost broke the snow total for December in 2008! I live in Michigan so I've seen a lot of snow. Please add my name to the drawing and Happy New Year.
I was nearly 30 years old before I saw snow - and that was in Japan. A few years later I saw snow in Switzerland and finally saw Australian snow just after that. Since then I have been snowless, but right now in hot Queensland I think I could tolerate the snowy temperatures.

Snow! We've seen too much this year here in Michigan! When I was in high school 20 years ago I had a friend named Merry. She was an exchange student from Australia. She would stay up all night just to see snow whenever the weatherman forcast flurries! By the end of winter, she too was sick of snow!
i saw snow in my childhood when i lived up north, wish i couls show some to my children !

Lovely give-away !
And yes, I have seen snow. Almost every winter of my life ... and these past couple of winters, somewhat more than I care for, seeing that I live in a city and have to clear the pavement around our corner house. BUT ... it looks lovely and is fun for kiddies to fool around in.
There's no snow in my part of the world (philippines), but i went to switzerland last november, and i stayed in the alps. the snow was unbelievable...and of course i went ballistic *lol*

Have I ever seen snow-- Every year of my life! This year in Northern NY we have about 2 1/2 feet in the yard right now. We get tons of snow from every weather systems that moves over the great lakes and deposits right into my neck of the woods.
It's a good thing I love snow.
Yes! I've seen PLENTY of snow! Grew up in Minnesota or should I say... Minn-e-snowta!! Now that I'm down in the deep south (Georgia) only see a few flakes now and then.
Sandi, this is a great blog!!
Of course I've seen snow, having spent the last 9 years in Minnesota. Unfortunately, there hasn't been much in our part of New Jersey, but there's still hope.
I miss the snow, it does bring out the flake in me. I miss seeing hoar frost on naked trees, bringing shimmering white to the countryside.

Grew up with snow in NJ -- glistening in the sun, lovely!
Thanks for the giveaway fun...

Have I seen Snow? Growing up in MN?
When I was a kid, I recall opening the front door and having to dig out way out... Snowmobiling, snowball fights, sledding.... yep. picking the frozen gobbs of snow frozen to your socks and gloves, hair etc...Ice skating on the lakes, and listening to the ice crack...
Yes sireee, seen snow. LOTS.
;-)
Growing up and now living in Chicago, we see lots of snow. We usually get one good snowstorm before the holidays.
chrissoolee@yahoo.com
Yep. When I looked out the window this morning. :-)
I have seen snow my entire life! In northern Maine, it's hard to get away from the stuff and winter lasts from Nov to April...way too long....Born raised and married here so no choice of locales. I would miss snow for Christmas if I lived someplace warmer, so would ideally like to live in the mts of Tenn/Virginia? to get the best of both worlds. Lovely gift choices!
Have I ever seen snow? 8 months out of the year!! We are in cold weather clothes more than summer.....
Yes I've seen snow, On my way to work thing morning and many other days.
Well, I have seen my fair share of snow and cold here in Iowa!! I love the first snowfall every year, but then it gets old after much shoveling, snowy driving, etc. Happy New Year!!
I have NEVER seen snow!! I have lived in Florida my whole life, so the only snow I've seen is on television!!

I live in SD so we see snow on a regular basis. I love the light falling snow, but am not a fan of blizzards (unless I have no where to go and can stay in and sew!)
Love your Giveaway also. Yes we get our sure of snow here in Missouri. I DO NOT LIKE IT.

I've seen snow twice in my lifetime
once in 1976 and 1989. It doesn't snow much in Central Florida..
living on the cold canadian prairies I spend a good deal of my year with snow, and temperatures colder than a deep freeze... I love the stark white look!
What a fun giveaway! Very clever!
Yes I have seen snow...we have to drive about 2 hours to get to it but it's worth every minute! The kids just love the snow we try to get to it about 2 times during the winter!
Thank you so much for the chance and can't wait to see what is in the other tins!
Have a lovely New Year!
Hi Sandi, what a fun idea!
We've had snow already here in S.E. Kansas. But we don't get much each year and that's just fine with me. I spent my first 40 years in Iowa and saw all the snow I need to see!
Happy New Year....
I grew up in Colorado and now live in Oregon....this is the first year we have EVER had this much know here in Oregon. On Christmas Day, we have well over 3 feet in our yard. No power and was I grumpy!!! LOL
Growing up in Washington State and now living in Colorado I have seen more snow than I care to. I can't wait for summer to be back.
Yes, I have seen snow many times, but I live in the south of Sweden and here is only snow now and then.
Tonight it´s -10C but no snow, longing for it, lights up the world....
Hello,
Yes and I drove ski many years. I hope you understand me, my english isn´t good.

Have I ever seen snow? Only more than 5 feet of it in the last 2 weeks! And it just keeps coming.
I have seen snow and love being in it. We are expecting some snow early next week. I am looking forward to it!
Yes we have had snow and sometimes a lot but right now we only have a few inches on the ground here in Ohio.
Please enter me in your drawing.
I am new to blogs but hope to have my own soon.

Would you believe me when I say I've never come into contact with snow??? It's true, I've always lived where it's hot, even though I love the cold. Does seeing snow count? I saw it one time through the window of a hotel where my family and I stayed at in Chicago. Except at first I thought it was rain, but it looked more dense. I was 9, I loved it!!!
Please sign me up for the giveaway, I love the items!!!
Hugs,
Lory

We have seen snow! For the first time in long time, it snowed here in Houston! It was a really big deal! Thanks for the great give away!
I have seen snow, I just don't like to see it arrive in force in South Carolina. Things get crazy in the south when the white stuff lands. -- Michele

I live in NE PA and yes I have seen snow. We got a couple of inches on Wed. with a fresh dusting tonight! I love the snow! Winter is so dreary without it to brighten up our world!

I have seen snow, I have dreamed of snow and until I hit 50 I loved walking barefoot in the snow. Thanks for the NY fun

Is it an omen that my word verification for this comment was quiltyt?
Yes! Even though I grew up in the Phoenix desert, I saw snow on several vacations (my grandparents lived in Vermont!) and I later moved to the mountains East of Albuquerque just before their worst winter in 30 years. It snowed 24 inches in one day and kept coming down! I loved every minute of it, because I'd never seen that much before. :-)
Thanks for hosting the giveaway. My blog is at http://stitchesandpieces.blogspot.com/
Happy new year!
I've definitely seen snow - we have several feet of it right now. I'm looking forward to an upcoming trip to a warmer climate, though.

Happy New Year! I have seen snow every winter for 35 years...if being an infant counts LOL. I have lived in Iowa, Minnesota and Ohio. I sure hope your cold goes away soon!
Hi, I'm Holly! I lived in Northern Michigan for 5 years and boy did we see snow there!
What a cute give away. Thanks!
~ Hearts ~
Living in Southern California for most of my life and now Alabama hasn't given me a lot of snow experience but we have had snow a few times.
HI. This is the first time I am doing this and it has been lots of fun. I live in Wisconsin and grew up in Michigan. I can almost say I have already seen enough snow for this season. I will admit though, I would miss it if I did not have it. A fresh snow on trees looks so beautiful.!!! Thank you!!!

Yes, I have seen snow...looking out my window now I see lots of snow! Enough already, I'm ready for spring! Claire
Wow! What a great giveaway!
I grew up where we got snow about once a year, sometimes more often, sometimes not at all. But I've seen snow many times, and we enjoy going to play in the snow in the mountains above us every year.
What an awesome giveaway!
Well I have seen snow many times, and lived in snowy Austria for awhile. But I love when the snow holds it's shape as it comes down, and you can actually see flakes. The first time this happened (for me) was in Illinois in 2002. Crazy!

I have seen snow... when I was little, we had a blizzard that piled snow to the roof of our garage. I'd love to win just for the tins, not even what's inside! This is lovely.
I live in MN, so YES I have seen lots of snow. However, I was born in Panama and was 2.5 yrs old when we came here. Mom says we were fascinated with the snow, but inside the house she couldn't get us to keep our shoes on. We kept saying "our feet can't breathe!"

What a fun giveaway! Here's hoping I win :)!
Love your giveaway!
I live in Texas and yes, I've seen plenty of snow in my life. I've been living in this town my whole life and we get several snowstorms each winter. The year I was 4 yrs. old we had a 23" snowfall, and just about 8 or 9 years ago we were snowed in for several days with about 16" of snowfall.

Have I ever seen snow? OH YES! I live in Canada and have lived as far as the 58th parallel. COLD and SNOWY! I've also lived in Norway, which gets tons of snow in the winter. Even when I lived in the Canary Islands, there was snow on the mountains. So, YES, I've seen snow!!!
Happy New Year!

What a generous giveaway! Yes I've seen snow - every winter for as many years as I've been alive! I just shovelled a mountain full off the driveway this afternoon.
Happy New Year. I have seen more snow than I ever care to in this life. I was just talking to my husband the other day about wanting to become a snowbird.
Oh, yes...I've seen lots of snow here in New Jersey. We just had a white Christmas.
Happy New Year!
I have seen lots of snow here in Nebraska. I used to love snow days. Mom and I would have a running game of Monopoly that lasted all day long.
Happy New Year! Just traveled over to your post and am very happy to have found you! Have seen snow and do love it in moderation!
