Description:

SNOWMAN SOUP When it's so cold that you holler and whoop, It's time to bring out the Snowman Soup!

Pour the packet in a mug. Add the snowballs too. And throw in the kisses from the snowman to you.

Now fill with hot water and use the cane to stir it. Sip slowly and soon you'll feel the warm winter spirit!

For this swap you need to send your partners a package of Hot Chocolate with Marshmallows (please use the pre-packaged for this so there is no cause for concern with what exactly is in the package). Toss in a couple Hershey Kisses (mini kisses are cool too if they are in a sealed package) and a Candy Cane (mini canes are ok). Please put this all in a small zippered bag so no leaks or anything. Add an atc that is snowman related and send off to your partners! Each person will send to 2 partners.

If you have a low rating or a history of not sending I will remove you from this swap. It is no fun to play one sided and I do not want anyone disappointed. Thanks in advance for your understanding.

It might be a little early to find a good candy cane. Can we use mint instead if I can't find any?

I would love to have the snowman soup - but in Finland we do neither have prepacked with marshmallows nor candy canes - can I do the swap with some finnish goodies for a snowman soup instead? It will be similar... byt .. well finnish - and as everybody knows - Santa Claus is from finland so we sre not totally wrong ;)

I'm thinking if I can find some snowman mugs I'm including that too I've already have my cards made! I must be psychic :-) -- Donnaj

Hey anyone see any candy canes in the USA yet? On second thought I bet they'll magically appear once Halloween's over. --Donnaj

stlouisphile 10/29/2006 #

Still haven't seen any candy canes so if not I'll thrown in some extra candies and substitute something minty if that's ok.

Thank you Jessica! I didn't expect a package so quickly (then again the deadline is tomorrow :) When my son gets home from school I think we will enjoy a mug of 'snowman soup.'

My packages are going out today so heads-up Mari and KC_froglady!!

kcfroglady 11/ 2/2006 #

I for the life of me can't find candy canes either - guess I should of thought that through a little better before I posted the due date! ~~~Karyn

kcfroglady 11/ 2/2006 #

I edited the due date to the 14th now to give us some time to find candy canes - I hope this helps if at that time you still can't find then just sub some mint flavored candies in there :) My baggies are just waiting for this one item! ~~~Karyn

stlouisphile 11/ 2/2006 #

Oh goodness! thank you! I was just about to say I was going to be mailing late bc here in St Louis the candy canes still haven't shown up yet! -- thanks for extending this Karyn.

Jessica, thanks for a wonderful envelope so filled with holiday cheer, goodies and joy. My son picked it up from the mailbox, came running inside and you should have seen the smile on his face when the snowman himself shoved up! Such a treat - thanks!

I received my package from Mari today - this is wonderful and I love the chocolates you sent - I shared one with my friend at work today and will save the other for with the soup LOL. I also loved the stamps! Wonderful tattoo artwork that I can reuse to make postage stamp cards or atc's! ~~~Karyn
