Your frost pictures are amazing.  Ive been trying to figure out how you took that!  However you have to have frost to be able to take any frost pictures!!

Judy, I have plenty of frost on my windows.  Comes from the moisture I add to counteract the dry heat.  When the temps are a little milder it's just wet areas but these days it freezes and becomes frost.   :)

Jeanne put plastic over the windows, you can get double sided tape apply the plastic and take the creases out with a blow dryer.  That will keep you  warmer and possibly reduce your heating costs!

Taking frost photos like this just takes a camera capable of focusing very close. I used a monopod for stability and got less than an inch away. The other alternative is use a telephoto lense and a tripod and set the tripod at just over the minimum focusing distance to take your shot.  I found out the hard way the hardest thing about taking these is keeping the camera parallel with the window.
