judygram Posted April 22, 2009 Posted April 22, 2009 Gosh its been awhile since we have had any kind of contest but this should be a good one, I might even enter something myself even though I am not very creative. Allright all you members who have been making some toys for your greys lets get busy and make some thingamajigs and whatchamacallits. Hey, is there any prize for the winner?
Luvparrots Posted April 22, 2009 Posted April 22, 2009 LOL Judy you may be uncreative, BUT I'm uncreative and unimaginative as well!!!!! LOL But maybe I'll give it a shot!!! :silly:
Talon Posted April 22, 2009 Author Posted April 22, 2009 Prize........hmmm....I figured you would be the first to catch that omission! Yes, there is a prize! First Place-50 Karma Second Place-30 Karma Third Place-10 Karma
judygram Posted April 22, 2009 Posted April 22, 2009 Oh good as I can always use some karma!!!:whistle:
Eckobird Posted April 22, 2009 Posted April 22, 2009 Ohh I love contests! Are we allowed to submit more than one?? I made a lot of toys. lol Here is the one I like the most but its a swing, lol is that considered a toy?haha How its made: I found a nice real branch, screwed in some hooks, tied some colorful rope to the screws, tied knots to hold the colorful wood blocks, and then added some leather string and beads to chew on while he is swinging.
judygram Posted April 22, 2009 Posted April 22, 2009 That swing is a toy, you have embellished it with things to make it a toy, now whether you can enter more than one remains to be seen, Penny you need to clarify for us.
Talon Posted April 22, 2009 Author Posted April 22, 2009 YUP! Enter as many as you like!! :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:
judygram Posted April 22, 2009 Posted April 22, 2009 You heard the woman, enter as many as you want, we are going to get some good ideas here with this contest, hey thats really why you are doing this too huh, smart woman, you got my vote!!
Eckobird Posted April 22, 2009 Posted April 22, 2009 Ok then well heres more. :lol: Ecko loves this toy! He was going crazy with it and then he ended up between the table haha! Its the easiest toy to make, its made with wire and beads. Add some rope with wood stars. A wiffle ball, with some rope and some blocks. Pretty simple lol. It may not look like that I made this but I really did, lol. I ordered the parts from birdyboredombusters.com and it came out to look like a store bought toy haha! Its wood blocks, with coconut pieces and at the end little plastic pacifiers. OK I'm done now. :lol:
