For December, we are asking you to send in a picture of a snowman or snowman themed scene. For full instructions, look here.
It may take a few days for your pictures to be posted. After the end of the monthly challenge, you will receive a small thank you gift for participating.
Here are the beautiful submissions:

Here is a snowman scene done in a cookie jar I purchased from Hobby Lobby a few years ago. The inside shows a Christmas bazaar with tiny bears. The booths are from Mini Cousins and the bears are made by Karen Gibbs.

For the December 2025 Create Challenge, I am sending a submission titled “Before and After,” consisting of two snowman creations. The first snowman is in perfect winter form. My inspiration was a 1991 article in the Nutshell News, which included a pattern for the construction of a miniature snowman. However, as always, I used my own creativity to come up with some unique personal touches. His body is composed of three styrofoam balls, covered in white paste to look like snow. I used the same paste to create the snowy landscape. Both snowman and base are dusted with craft diamond dust to simulate the sparkle of snow on a sunny day. His eyes and mouth and the buttons that run down his chest are all made from miniature pieces of “coal,” the kind you use in miniature railway sets. His carrot nose is made from orange FIMO and his arms are made of miniature fragments of sticks from my backyard. The hat is made from black fabric glued to an index card cut into the correct shapes and his green plaid scarf is made from a stiff piece of ribbon. The broom is made of a wooden dowel with straw from a whisk broom, mixed with glue to bend it out of shape. I put a miniature shovel from my collection into the “snow.” It has already served its purpose and has been set aside for another snowy day. The second snowman – entirely my own creation – has (sadly) melted in winter sun! His body has deconstructed and his snowman identifiers – the jaunty top hat and stylish scarf, the carrot and coal features and stick arms -- are all slightly askew. The buttons are sliding down towards the ground and his broom – its end now straggly – has already fallen.

This is my interpretation of the Winter Cart class recently offered by Bonnie Helterhoff. I made some additions from my stash, as well as the paper snowmen that I made from a kit I purchased from Ginger Landon-Siegel.

This is one of the first projects I made when I joined the miniture club. Every year I get it out and put it in front of my first dollhouse.

From Carol Shea:
I made my snowmen from clay and Q-tips from my stash. The container is a hollowed-out tree limb I've had for years and don't remember who made it. The background was the first step and then I found this little 'limb' and just knew it was home for snowmen.

Here's a 1:48 scale framed winter scene from my collection - it's a piece by Sally Manwell.
If you look closely you can see 2 figures in a snowball fight and a cat testing out the snow as well.
I love these little framed wintery worlds.

The snowman is on the outside view of one of the first paper vignettes that I have made. He’s keeping company with a few small birds looking for seeds.

I, too, made Suzanne & Andrews Let It Snow market stall. So, instead, I'll share Debbie Young's "1/4" Gingerbread House" that I made back in September. The snowman outside is from my stash.

From Betty Turmon:
1 - A few years ago I purchased from Walmart some cookie cutters as containers for miniature settings. This snowman was one of those cookie cutters. I made several snowmen that year too. He is made of Fimo clay.
2 - This clear tree shaped candy box was once filled with Ferrero Rocher chocolates. I saw a Mary Engelbreit illustration with a bunny giving the snowman a little push down the hill. It was so charming I had to recreate the scene. I made the snowman and the bunny of Fimo clay.

I made these VERY tiny snowman scenes as table gifts for the NAME national convention in Indianapolis when the theme was Let it Snow. The photo was taken with them sitting on a normal Oreo cookie, so the scene is about 1.75 inches square.

From Pamela Junk:
The first two pix are small scenes in Altoid tins and feature snow men and other figures by Loredana Tonetti. The third pic shows bunnies making snow angels and building a snow man. These figures and the snowmen are all are by Sue Marti. The fourth pic is a tiny wood block house in the snow with a tiny snowman (3/8" tall) I got off eBay.

At a recent retreat, the First State Mini Club was given a challenge to create a scene in a teacup and saucer. This is mine. Though I didn’t make the snowman, I thought it might still be appropriate for the December challenge.
