Did you hear about National Public Radio's Holiday Craft Contest?
A real stroke of brilliance!
From the website:
NPR's First Ever Holiday Craft Contest! Design either a handmade menorah or a Christmas tree ornament. We are looking for designs that reflect the news of 2006. We also welcome quirky, funny and/or offbeat designs.
The examples on the website are too good not to share.
Red State / Blue State Christmas Ornament
Mel-norah!
Rules, prizes, deadlines, and the judges are named on the website.
I am thinking about an ornament, but I am not sure I can be so clever and witty… in the meantime, you can keep up with the clever crafters who do enter on the Flickr pool. Awesome idea, NPR!
Those are too good, thanks for sharing. Your sweater from the previous post looks fantastic. You could wear that sweater anywhere!
That is a cute idea. I am like you, not sure if I have the whit to come up with something funny like the Mel-norah.
Mel-norah made me nearly spit out my juice. LOL
hahahaha oh man.
hope your having a great first of december friend!
mel-norah! holy crap!
The ornament on flickr look so interesting. The red sweater look good on you, you skin tone really carry out the color very well.
hahaha. mel-norah. i love it!
Definitely a better approach to holiday crafting that TLC’s Life Lesson: Homemade gifts are fine. If you’re seven.
I first saw that ad over Thanksgiving while I had needles in my hands working on holiday gifts.
That Mel-norah made me laugh out loud!
I have been slacking with my NPR listening lately. Great idea. I LOVE the Mel-norah!
the mel-norah is great, but i love the blue busting out of the red ornament there.
Too funny! Love the sweater and Congratulations on getting your MLIS!
Haha Mel norah! Priceless
Very cool!!!!
Right up my alley!
Thnaks for the heads up & sweet linking action!
I love when NPR’s funny, it’s always in such a cerebral way.
The Mel-norah is my fav!
lol! the mel-norah is great! i need to share that one with my fiance, he’ll get a kick out of that!
the red state/blue state is so clever too! i wish i had time to enter, this is great!
Oh my GOD, I laughed at the Mel-norah. Since I am adamantly opposed to his horribleness, this was just perfect. And, since I’m writing you and I just know you’ll understand, don’t you just hate Sunday night since you know that on Monday the knitting time will decrease? hee hee. Have a good Monday.
The Mel-norah is hilarious! Thanks for sharing. I can’t wait to see what you come up with. . . . .
Mel-norah – Hil-arious!!!!
ooooh that is too cool!
I couldn’t help noticing how much more blue there is on that ornament! Mel-nora….how creative!!
omg, the mel-norah is too funny!
