Crafty AW: had to decorate a stocking for work

[agnes]

It was mandatory. But the prize is worth it if you win. $300

They gave us all the same basic stocking and $25 to buy the decorations. I was surprised at how much crafts cost these days! I felt like the $25 got me nothing. I think some people went over the $25.

I spent this past weekend sewing bells and puff balls with the assistance of my 9 year old niece. It was really fun.

Here is my stocking:



Loud co-worker did an amazing job. It looks like it was store-bought.



Some stockings are a bit much...







This one has working lights



I don't think I'm going to win and I don't like things being mandatory, but overall I enjoyed it.

What about people who don't celebrate Christmas?

Yeah, there was a Mickey Mouse one. Someone also did our company mascot with Santa hats and Christmas trees.

Eh, I don't think stockings are particularly religious. I doubt this would be something the ACLU would be up in arms about.

Thanks! I hope the judges like it best too.

We did this with trees where I used to work. Every dept got a tree and the company donated towards a charity of each department's choice. The winning trees got more money donated.

Aww this is so cute. Weird that it's mandatory though. I hope you win.

Yours is cute! There are a lot of great ones.
