TRACI'S NURSING CONVENTION CONTEST

A couple of weeks ago Traci called me and said she volunteered me to make a felt turtle!!  She was going to a Nursing Convention in Tenneesee and each State attending was to bring a turtle that represented their State.  She asked me if I could make a felt turtle........ This is it!  lol
He has a potato shell.....

Of course he had to wear a BSU helmet!!  The cherries represent the Emmett Cherry Festival which is an annual event! His legs are Idaho Potato Steak Fries .....

The fiddle represents the National Fiddle Festival which is held in Weiser every year!

I made a potato sack which holds a sun, a flower, fall leaves and a snowflake to represent the 4 seasons. I made some BSU pennants and Traci was making a blue base to set him  on to represent the blue BSU football turf. The pennants were going to be placed on each side.

I made an owl to  represent the World Center for Birds of Prey.

Add of course a Bumper Sticker which reads "VOTE FOR PEDRO" to represent Preston Idaho where Napoleon Dynamite was filmed!!  lol  I can't wait to hear how she does.  If she wins her division gets $500 dollars but Traci was more interested in getting kudo's from her boss!  lol
