Okay, I'm not into woodsy stuff, BUT, I am twisting your arm, cause I am sure there are people here who are.....AND I will guarantee you will have FUN! :)

i've already expressed that i like teddy bears over black bears, but i like pandas, who may not actually be bears, but anyway, i like trees. dh got his degree in forestry. o, i think it's koalas that aren't bears. anyway. you could make one with flamingos ! i love flamingos!! they are just kinda 'out there!, ya know? in my family room i have a 2' tall flamingo nightlight, a frog side table, a 3' monkey on the wall, so i could use some more wild animals. i have a zebra chair upstairs and i need to re-home a spotted chair--what cat has spots? not a tiger..... can't think.:shock:

c'mon, d'sm!! you can stand being in another swap with me!

jillnjo-- i don't know how rhonda decides who gets what, but if there is something you just can't tolerate, you can always send her a pm and hope for the best.

Always, so long as I don't get "r" emails too regularly :D:D

OK Nancia.....I just GOTTA SEE some pics of your living space...I am very curious.....and a bit envious of your "openness"! :)

cogito-- is that openness, as in i reveal too much, or openness as i'll accept so much? just curious.:D

my avatar is a cat mug hug, a mug rug that wraps around the cup. since it is a rendition of my real cat, tiger, it fits well in my room, but i gave it away in the mug rug swap i was in at the time. i've made a few cats and a fish so far. have plans to make more when the inspiration hits.:)

Hi jillnjo, It is up to you to enjoy making anything you desire. No one knows what they are going to receive so we can all request as much as we want but you aren't assured of getting what you request. The fun is to receive a little something with another persons concepts and designs with no limitations. For instance I love flamingos but I may not receive a quilt with flamingos. Make what you love to share with others.
peace

EDIT: Nancia, Always adored your avatar. I thought it was pottery. Love that it is a mug rug. Very cool.

That would explain why it is a good thing that we post pictures as we work on it!I can just see the email to Rhonda now...."NO wild animals to sit on my wall and watch me as I try to sleep! Please I beg of you!" Most wou;d add spiders and snakes I am sure, maybe even clowns. Got to get back to work on my owl. He's gotten too big to put on a wall hanging with a 57 inch wing span. Watch out Toto!
