Lip Balm Snowman

Before the end of the month I decided to get the Lip Balm Snowman published, it is the 4th EOS lip balm cover that I have made. Check out all the others here or check out a picture of them all together down below.

It's so hot out so I stayed in to work on getting this pattern available just in time, Christmas In July, Hanukkah In the Heat, or whatever it is you celebrate, here's a gift from me to you! All 4 lip balm cozies are available free on my blog. ~Happy Hooking~
