Great Flake Race! Over!!

Update: The race is on!!

Okay, here are my thoughts on this...

You can start warming up any time you want to, but the Great Flake Race will occur for only a week: from Sunday, Dec. 11, until Saturday, Dec 17.

In that time, the goal is simply to *complete* as many snowflakes as you can. Size doesn't matter, but keep us posted on your progress throughout the week. I know not all of us have digital cameras, so you don't have to "prove" your count with photos - but please be honest about how many flakes you've made, and remember we looove to see your pretty pictures!!

Some pattern suggestions: Many excellent snowflake patterns can be found HERE at CPC. I personally will also be using the book 99 Snowflakes, [which I found at JoAnn's and got with a 40% off coupon!!] and there are probably dozens more leaflets dedicated just to snowflakes.

Another great snowflake resources is THIS WEBSITE that Julie referred me to. I noticed some people have already asked about stiffening, and she has some good information on that here, as well as other useful tips about blcking, sparkle, etc.

Happy Flake-Making, Folks!!

-------------------------------------------------


I figured, since it's that time of year again...

and so many of us are making snowflakes already...

and a lot of us have so many more to make...

Why not get encouragement from other in a Snowflake Race-Along?? There's still time to get them made and shipped before the holidays...

So, whatdya think?
