    That is just as cute as I remembered. It must have been at least 40 years ago when we made these. Times were much simpler then. You did a good job on it.

    Oh what memories. We used to make these out of Reader's Digest and spray paint them and decorate them. We also used them for doorstops.

    I remember doing these when I was a kid! We used Reader's Digest magazines, then spray painted them to be snowmen, trees, or Mr. & Mrs. Claus.
