Oh, what fun it is to ride
join in the fun at Debbie's place!
Because Big Corporation is keen on sustainability, our "Green Team" challenged each department to fashion its own "recycled" Christmas Wreath.
(You can click the images to enlarge)
The directive:
"Each department is to use only items found in their department to create a holiday wreath. You may barter or trade with other department but there is to be no purchased items."
Accounting
Fitness & Activities
Guest Services
Housekeeping A
(Isn't the lamp shade a great idea?)
Housekeeping B
Maintenance & Landscaping
(I'm not sure if you can tell, this is fashioned from PVC pipe and electrical wire!)
Security
(The 'tree' and 'presents' were all painted key cards. I adore the Crime Scene tape bows!)
Oh ya. Then there's Administration.
Our GM had a death in her family and the AGM was on vacation. Me? Now you can see why my 5th grade art teacher (charitably) gave me a 'D' for effort.
I was too embarrassed to hang it in the lobby for guests' judging, so here it sits in my cubicle.
It's beginning to feel a lot like Christmas y'all!
Hugs from Phoenix,
Myra
Awwww...yours is cute and better than a few of those others! Do you know who won? What fun to do that! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteActually, we didn't start 'til the 24th ... voting goes for another couple weeks. (But I'm pulling for Housekeeping.)
DeleteWhat fun! I'm not at all creative either Myra! But I think you did a good job!
ReplyDeleteYou could've fooled me, Paula! Maybe I need to start watching YouTube tutorials.
DeleteYou did a good job, and yeah I think I found you top picture one on the left!
ReplyDeleteI really do enjoy challenges like this being put out. I like 'em all, ESPECIALLY YOURS!!! I can do that, can't I! YOu are dadgum right I can! LOL
You've good eyes, my friend! Even tho' I'm not competing, I appreciate your support!
Deletewhat clever ideas, each and every one. it looks like christmas indeed.
ReplyDeleteYes, I'm pleasantly surprised how creative, think-outside-the-box some people are.
DeleteI like the idea for making the wreaths. Lots of creativity there! I like yours; don't sell yourself short. I would have hung it up with the others! Let us know who the winning wreath is.
ReplyDeletebetty
Thanks, Betty. Maybe it would have provided comic relief? :)
DeleteRight now, Guest Services is leading by a wide margin.
These are all really clever, Myra - and your Administration wreath isn't half bad at all! The photos are a good idea.
ReplyDeleteI can be clever and creative, but it has to come from my heart and my own desire to do it.
If somebody else tells me to be creative, my inspiration dries up and my ideas and enthusiasm evaporate.
EXACTLY! Your last two sentences could describe me to a 't.'
DeleteI like your wreath and you did it by yourself. Some depts must have quite a few people Good job!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Carol. Honestly, I wasn't in the mood ... and it showed. LOL!
DeleteMy favorite is the one using pencils and crayons! That is ingenious! Beginning to fee lots like Christmas here too !
ReplyDeleteI agree! That one was done by a new associate who nearly went to work on a cruise ship ... before love got in the way. Lucky us!
DeleteYour's is cute! I love them all, though. What a fun idea to get everyone in the Christmas spirit.
ReplyDeleteIt's been a long while since our associates have come together in this manner.
DeleteI must say they are all really creative, I would love to do something like this. I think you should hang yours in the hall, it looks good to me. I think maintenance might need a special award for most creative, an old fan face and pvc is certainly not your average material. great idea and lots of fun.... I worked a year on the midnight shift at the admitting desk in a county hospital. the nurses brought out here 20 inch tree and said they had no ornaments. I went through every dept and hung all ER things on it. biggest hit ever. syringes minus needles, bandage for garland, small scissors, empty containers I can't even remember. would have made a good wreathe
ReplyDeleteThat's such a splendid idea, Sandra. What an imagination!
DeleteThere are some creative ideas on there. Jilda made wreath with the pruned grape vines from our back fence.
ReplyDeleter
... and I'll bet it was beautiful!
DeleteYou are so funny! I think you should hang it with the others. I like it. Great post.
ReplyDeletebahahaha! Thank you, Mary, but no.
DeleteWhat a fun idea! I like the idea of recycling/repurposing. There's some really creative minds! Thanks for sharing on FFF! And, I love your little jingle at the start. LOL
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Debbie!
DeleteSuch clever ideas!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Debby!
DeleteYour wreath is absolutely the very best wreath of all although some are sure clever! WHy does everyone want to take the JOY out of CHRISTmas? Enough already! They already kicked Jesus to the curb! UGH! I am so glad I no longer have to deal with corporate suits and their crappola! HUGS to you and Tom
