I was not planning on using my candy staff. I can mail you mine if you want it?

Aren’t you sweet! But I wasn’t going to use mine, either, so it can go to a project that really needs it. :upside_down_face: THANKS for thinking of me!

I painted up a pastel nutcracker last year! I’m totally excited to do this. Might start with a little watercolor painting first? Might have to order a blank to paint another this year. I’d love to have a nutcracker army!

Oooo, @ErinAquaheart! A little watercolor nutcracker sounds cool!

Yes I did post it on reddit. @JoyfulClover I haven’t been in the reddit tread since.

Oh, she deleted it, but I was pretty sure I remembered seeing it, because it was such a fresh take on a classic character! I hope you can find photos and reshare it!

It’s on here, too! My last comment has the link!

I have added a bunch of cool nutcrackers to the pinboard!

Annnnnnd, I probably ended up buying this guy to add to my kookie turkeys that I put out in November.

Anyone have any Nutcracker Experiences this week? I haven’t had time to sit down to work on mine, but I did spend a few minutes digging through various bins of bits and bobs that might become part of mine.

Ooo! Coooool! I just might be able to get a little time in on mine later this week. [waggles eyebrows]

IN the meantime, I’ve added tons to the Pinterest board, because of course, now my feed is filling up with nutcrackers.

I figured out why my nutcracker didn’t print right and fixed the 3D printer.
Meanwhile, I’ve learned a lot about designing 3D items, and maybe I’ll create an all new 'cracker.

I wanted to get cracking on this (HA!) because I have a second part of this that’s even bigger and better but it makes me a little nervous, lots of pieces and rather intricate. Hopefully I can get it done as quick as I did this one
