I was at my aunts house and happened to see that she had recently purchased this funny little snow globe , but it had water in it so I was curious. I picked it up and  read it. LOL, it was a California snowman.(pictured above) I thought it was the cutest thing since we are known for warm weather in  California. I had been wanting to make my dad a draft stop and I thought this was perfect for him. He has always been a bit of a jokester. So this is how I made it.  :)
