1/2 Marathon Medal :)

Saturday I ran a 1/2 marathon with my sisters and some friends. It was a lot of work but also fun. My friend came up with the idea of doing our own 1/2 marathon. I called her one day and asked her if I could make metals. She said yes and this is what I came up with...



I'm starting to think anything is possible with washers. I just stamped a large washer and small washer. My friend named the marathon "1/2 ladies". I stamped the date in the middle. Here I am with my sisters...

I know it's nothing as fancy as a real medal but I thought it turned out cute. So many possibilities for this little gem. Are the wheels turning in your brain? I will tell you it looks super cute with just the word "courage" (it's my word of the year), a big flower and a small flower of a different color. So many flower color options out there too. Pictures will come soon.
