                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Since we didn't do anything big for Christmas this year, I thought we could have a little fun with the <em>12 Days of Christmas</em>. The idea is to come up with a version of the <em>12 Days</em> song, but a Narnian version. Each day, whoever wants can share ideas they have for that day or illustrations or anythig else they feel like related to that number and day. I'll get us started in the next post.</p>]]></content:encoded>

From now till Easter, I invite you to spend time praying for various countries using either the info from the Operation World link in the <strong>Around the World in ABC's: Alphabetical Global Prayer</strong> thread at the following URL address:<br /><a href="https://www.thelionscall.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=30&amp;t=277">https://www.thelionscall.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=30&amp;t=277</a><br />or from your own heartfelt prayer burdens. I will note our progress in our praying around the world on the country list in the first post of that thread, but feel free to pray as God leads you for our needy world.<br /><br />Note: Please post your country prayers in the <strong>Around the World in ABC's Thread</strong> (see above link) rather than in this thread (which is locked).<br /><br /><a href="https://i.imgur.com/btoXBgRl.jpg"><img src="https://i.imgur.com/btoXBgRl.jpg" /></a>]]></content:encoded>

This last one can be a craft version you find online, but it would be ten times more awesome if you make it yourself. Our favorite items will go onto some new Pinterest boards we're creating for the purpose, and the top item in each category will probably go onto a new page of recurring costuming/prop "where to get it" pages that we're planning to run.<br><br>The rules:<br><br>1. You must get all your links approved in the usual fashion.<br>2. The "Look for Less" item should be something where there is more than one available. You can usually tell if eBay items are mass-produced or not because they'll say they have more than one available, or you'll see the same item later on your search page. We want this to be an item anyone can buy.<br>3. The Luxe item can be a one-off. Just so it's droolworthy. It cannot be the original prop (Yes, props come up on eBay sometimes.) and you cannot say "I will commission Jasmine Watson to create a replica for me." You CAN have a replica made if you find a site where a person is already offering custom made replicas. There have been one or two artists who offer made-to-order replicas of Susan's crown, for example.<br>4. Please include the price of the item if at all possible. With some made-to-order items no price may be listed, and we understand, but otherwise we want to know. You don't need to include shipping.<br>5. Don't list an item someone else has already posted, (unless you happen to find it for a reduced price!) Either find something different or skip that category. You don't HAVE to do all three, but we'd love to see you try.<br>6. Judging will be fairly subjective. If a $5 item approximates Lucy's crown, but a $10 item is a dead ringer, the $10 item will probably win in the "Look for Less" category. Likewise crafts that are both easy to do and fairly convincing will probably be rated higher than incredibly complicated items that only an artisan could make (but by all means, share your artisan items!)<br>7.
