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.
Another idea that came to mind is on the smaller washer to stamp your word of the year. Every year our family comes up with a word our family focuses on. This year our word is "Hope". It's been a very appropriate word and helped us along the way. I think it would be super cute to write "Merry Christmas" or "Christmas 2009" on the bigger washer than on the smaller one write your word! Maybe "joy" or "believe" or even "hope". Good luck!
