That Snow Diet

Oh, if only it were so easy! This piece originally said, "How a Snowman Diets." I was stitching it at the dance studio, while watching my daughter's lesson, and one of her teachers walked by quickly, turned around and said to me, "How a Snowman Dies?" Clearly, that's not the reaction I wanted, so I ripped out the offending letters and changed it to "Shapes Up." Always good to have a second set of eyes look things over, even if in passing.
