“Everyone has something valuable to contribute. It is that simple. It is not, however, that easy.” Adam Savage
We had another wonderful day of ornament submissions. I shared 10 new builds that were submitted. I think this is incredible because I know that many of you are building when you have free moments. It is one thing to build. It is another thing to share. Sharing is tough and many people don’t understand how challenging it can be to be brave enough to share our work.
Here we have the energy of helping others when we share. We also are building a community through the site and FB group so we can feel that we are not alone in these interests.
Yesterday we placed a focus on Santa. Today we place focus on Mrs. Claus. The second ornament on the list of builds. Remember, you can build in any order you wish, but some like the daily structure of one challenge a day.
A couple of reminders and clarifications from the questions I have received as people get started.
- You can build any ornament and in any order you wish. I will promote one ornament idea each day, but you can build whatever one you want.
- You can build with any LEGO you have available. There is no wrong element or idea. The fact you are building is the real power in this challenge.
- How does one share their ornament?
- We have a Facebook Group for people to share builds and ideas. If the link does not work, then search for LEGO Ornament Challenge and it should pop up.
- You can email your builds aarmau (at) gmail (dot) com
- On the website for each build we also have a Flipgrid link so builders can share a video to either show all aspects, explain the build, or provide context to the ornament. We have two great Flipgrid examples for Santa already loaded from a classroom.
- If you are on Twitter, then you can share using #BuildToGive so LEGO can see your builds, but please include me @aaronmaureredu so I can see your build.
As you share, I will do my best to capture and document the builds so I can add them to the website so others can see your work. We have a good start to Mrs. Claus and look forward to what you create today!
