A Small Giveaway

Anyone who has been reading this blog for the past few weeks knows that my main project for my stay-cation is de-cluttering my home.  But, before I broke for summer recess, I did a bit of de-cluttering at work.

The building in which I have my offices and hold my classes used to be the parish school.  When the parish school closed its doors in 2008, rather than take the time and trouble to clean out the building properly, the principal and staff of the school just dumped everything they couldn't give away in the old computer room.  I am trying to empty it out and fit it up to be used as a small meeting room or extra classroom.  

 One of my finds as I went through all sorts of dusty shelves, bins and boxes, were these rather nice plastic templates which I thought might come in handy for ornament making in various shapes: oval, round, square, rectangle, triangle and diamond.  I kept a few for myself and will offer two stitchers chosen at random from the comments below the remaining templates.  If you think these templates would help in your own ornament finishing, just leave a comment about the type of ornaments you like to make: Christmas, Halloween, patriotic, Valentine's Day, Easter, Thanksgiving or other.  I

tend to make ornaments for most seasons as I like to keep my wrought iron ornament tree on display in my entry hall year round.  And I anticipate using these templates to give a bit of variety to my ornament finishing.  Even if I need the shapes to be  a bit larger, I can always trace them out and blow them up using the enlarging feature on the photocopier and still have perfectly formed shapes with clean lines.  I haven't quite managed to build up an adequate collection yet for Easter, St. Patrick's Day, Valentine's Day, and summertime in general.  I have a fair amount of patriotic ornaments, though I could use a few more.  And I have more than enough Christmas, Thanksgiving and Halloween ornaments to fill the tree.

I'll make a selection and post the two winners on August 4th.
