Hi Dave, just in case you had two extra minutes today.....

Everyone on the 'erbs forum is pining for an herbs microbadge. Their idea of a mortar and pestle combines both culinary and medicinal uses.

I shopped around and found some simple ideas on a free clipart site, but when I tried to shrink it down in PS, it got pretty pixelated. If you need the help, I would try to make a PSD from scratch in PS - that would likely solve it.

Watchoo think?

Added!

Hopefully the artwork is okay. I only had a few minutes to spare. If anyone wants to provide a better one, I can replace the art.

You *so* rock. Wait until I tell the gals!!!!

Thanks for the request gals! I added it to my list!

Perfect. Thanks a bunch.

It's awesome!! Thanks Dave!!

Oh, now I am so torn! I am trying and trying to accumulate enough acorns to eventually get the t-shirt and coffee cup with acorns, but I would really love this little microbadge! I guess it will still be there next year, when I'll have the opportunity to take a bunch more pictures and build my acorn bank back up! I'm assuming the t-shirt offer is going to be a one-time deal, not an on-going offer.

OK, got my perspective. LOL Hard when you want it ALL!

Wait -coffee cup? Huh?

Now I'm embarrassed. A really sweet member sent me 5 acorns, and I was *really* not hinting for anyone to give me any! Sometimes I forget what a thoughtful, generous bunch of gardeners we have here!

Sheryl, Dave and Trish are working on getting t-shirts and coffee mugs (in the shape of terra cotta pots) printed up with the ATP logo. You can read about it/see pictures here:



I don't know how soon it will happen, but it is in the works! I *need* a humongous coffee mug like that for my early morning wanderings around the garden, while the dog does her business!

Here is the picture Trish posted of what the cup will look like (except with our logo, of course.)

No writing on the rim, though. I didn't like that.

Isn't that cool?

They will be available and shipping within 2 weeks, *for sure*. Possibly sooner than that.

I think I need a "happy dance" smiley.

Very cool - plastic?

No way (plastic!)

Ceramic.

When I saw the writing on the rim, my first thought was:

"One mug to rule them all, one mug to bind them.
One mug to bring them all and to ATP bind them!"

Thanks for the new badge

Ceramic is mucho better!

Thanks for the new badge, Dave. It looks great!
