Prompt: MacGyver (November) Team: Gourd of the Rings Project Name: Altered junk journal cards Project Link:N/AA Journal for No Reason (pic heavy, not sorry) Brief Description: I added labels to some playing/game cards to create writing space on them. I guess you could still use the cards for their intended purpose, but that would be a weird poker game. Also made from supplies in my LM kit.

Project Name: Care Bear Ears
Project Link: n/a
Brief Description: At school this year, my team decided to dress as Care Bears (Wearing sweats to school will always get a yes!). My coworker bought headbands to make ears, but she was just going to use pipe cleaners to make an “outline” of the ears. Well, that just wouldn’t do. So, I volunteered to make them. Most of them are felt, but the pink ones are fun foam, and the gray ones are fun foam that I colored with a gray Sharpie. Then, 2 people unexpectedly needed black ones, so I made those during morning homeroom using black construction paper. I couldn’t find any of my glue guns at home, so I had to get up extra early (5:30) to get to school before 7 (I have a 30 minute drive and I had to beat the parent drop off line) so I could use the glue gun in my desk.

Prompt: Uncharted (October) Team: Gourd of the Rings Project Name: Lips ATC Project Link:Pick-3 ATCs Note This is a running post I’ve added this project to. The original post is from outside this season, but the project I’m claiming was made and added to it this season. Totally understand if that’s not eligible for the bonus points; figured it was worth taking the shot. Brief Description: I made this for my ongoing pick-3 collection because I listed that theme again last month. It’s got a lot of blue. (Masterboard base by photojenn.) Project Photo:
@megwell, that mysterious man cracks me up as well, lol! I like the “masterboard flavoured” candy, and I think the running lips are funny, too. And that junk journal is just I love seeing how everyone has bound theirs; so neat! And I like how you altered the cards to provide some writing space, too. And that’s too bad the post ate your first greeting card, but this second one is beautiful!
@Bunny1kenobi what a beautiful ATC (I also read your community post), and a beautiful, loving story to go along with it. It’s so wonderful to have some art to remember that special moment. I also love your ghost robe; that’s really well made!
@craftADDchick Care Bears! So cute I grew up with them, not on TV but as toys, I remember having at least 2 stuffies. I love your dedication to help your team look its best
@LovelyMiss Your felted wool ball trivets are so pretty and colourful! Ad wow; you did a great job with the fabric marker on those socks; they look like they came that way from the store! What cute gnomes, too I think I missed a post about your gift buffet and I’m very intrigued—could you share the link where you explain it? The pottery is just gorgeous; I would love to learn some day, too. Have you done both wheel and hand thrown? If so, which one do you like best?
Prompt: Old-School Stakeout (November Battle) Team: Gourd of the Rings Project Name: Lucille Pinball Project Link:Lucille Pinball Brief Description: I made this today at a library program. Pinball feels old-school (as does I Love Lucy), and cardboard is definitely not the highest-tech material. Project Photo:

Prompt: Research Project Team: So Corn-fused Project Name: Candles Project Link:Soy Wax Candles Brief Description: I made candles again! I’m submitting them as a research project because I upped my game pretty drastically this year, making almost all of my own custom scent blends, which I’ve never done before. I got little scent test strips and everything, lol. I wanted to quit several times. People requested scents (at my prompting), but many of them were scents I don’t like. I also get headaches from smells very easily (WHY did I choose this craft?!). It was a barf-y feeling several days. I went waaaay overboard with all the blends I chose to try. But I’m happy with the end products, so it was worth it. There’s more info in the link!
