I thought of more potential themes today, and thought up of "Favorite Book Scenes". We could all make something from our favorite scene(s) in our favorite book(s). I thought this would be interesting because we always imagine what the scene looks like in our head but this way we can see it in real life instead!
Children's Books and Candy are my favorites too!

Trio from Sleeping Beauty, The Blue Fairy from Pinocchio, Tinkerbell from Peter Pan, Cinderella's Fairy Godmother... etc. Or if you're not into classic Children's Literature, there's plenty of modern stuff like this:
http://www.amazon.com/Flower-Fairies...6583007&sr=1-7

Come on, you'd be happy if Children's Books won, right?

^ Might be fun to do something from Dr. Seuss? On a side note: I am just realizing how out of touch I am with kids books...

Hopefully we have enough ideas that we can get the poll going and kick this off!

I'm going to make a list right now of the most popular themes proposed. Put your name under the theme that you want the most.

Since I counted around 11-12 different members interested in the craft along, once a theme reaches 7 (which is over half) that theme wins. If it's been over a week and we haven't reached 7, the theme with the most votes wins. If it's a tie, we vote one more time between the two themes.



Directions:
Please copy and past the newest list into your post and then put your name down. You can only pick one theme!!

ANIMALS
1.


SPRING

CHILDREN'S LITERATURE

CANDY/SWEETS

We could always take the runner up and start a second Craft Along. Then people could pick the one they want to do, or do both, or finish one and jump to a second project with the other. It's not like a ROAK where everybody has to be there at the start. New people could really join in at any time.

Patchworkcat, if you want to do cats why don't you pick a children's lit book with a cat and do something on that? It seems like there is a middle ground since the topic of cats can be found within lit...I don't see why you wouldn't participate at all in the craft along.
