Hello ladies,

I have been in contact with Paul Gunson, the extremely friendly animation artist who drew our Shack santa last year, and he has agreed to do another image for us this year! This is a treat. Paul's work is amazing! If you get the chance, do check out his website (http://www.cafepress.com/piebrand).

I know some of you want another Santa image and others are wanting a snowman. We can only afford to do one image so we'll have to do a poll. As always, majority rules. Paul also offered to "throw a whole load of different styles" at us this year and then we can choose the image we like best. We are hoping to have the image ready some time in September so that you will receive it in time to start your holiday cards. I am also going to see if we can have the stamp produced by the makers of Amuse Art Stamps - their stamps are wonderful.

I voted for a Santa image. It's so hard to find good Santa's and snowmen are pretty easy to find.

Well crud! I was gonna vote snowman until I read Christie's post. Now, I'm not sure what I want. She's right, it's easier to find CUTE snowmen. I'll have to wait on my vote now & actually THINK about it!

I voted Santa cos we don't have snow where I live, and anyway Christmas is in the heat of summer! I know this applies to no-one else except me, but that's my story anyway.

I can't decide. I love snowmen but it is hard to find good Santa stamps. So many Santa's you see look kind of deranged. So I guess either one is dine with me.

Decisions, decisions!!! I voted snowman, just because I don't have a really good one.

how about the 2 together? a snowman and santa. like having santa dressing the snowman , thats probably to much to ask .

I love Mindy's idea. Were you wanting something similar to the last 2 years though, more of a regal Santa with just the face? I'm good with whatever is decided. Perhaps once we see some drawings we'll all make up our minds. haha

I voted for Santa, but I'm sure this year's stamp will be fantastic either way.

I'd like to see a variety of Shack stamps so I'm going to vote for a snowman this year.

I voted Santa only because Shack Santa sounded like kind of a tradition - I do like the santa w/ a snowman idea though. I will be happy with whatever is decided.

I agree with Kimmy "shack santa" is kinda like a tradition. I'm know I will buy what ever it is though!!

Plus I need to add that I LOVE the fact that Sherry lets us all help in deciding things like this!!

I have a really nice santa image, so I voted for snowman since I don't have any snowmen stamps :)

I'm fine either way

cecescraps
07-25-2008, 01:24 PM
Oh, heck!! I can't decide right now... I'm going to have to think on it awhile. I think the indecision is due to the fact that either one will be great and I'll buy it no matter what. :)

CharityHand
07-25-2008, 02:36 PM
Wow! It's a close one. Can't wait to see which one wins!

I voted for a Snowman stamp, since I don't usually make Christmas cards. I don't own either of the Stamp Shack Santas, since I already had one nice Santa stamp that I got from a Secret Sister--and that is really all I need. But Snowmen I could use all Winter long! I have a few Snowmen already, but not a real cool detailed one!

I just love snowmen!

I still can't decide!! I'm all wishy washy..lol
maybe I'll sleep on it.
how long is this pole open for??

That sure was a great Santa last year, I missed out the first year on Santa number 1.
His work is fantastic-which ever the group desides on I will buy and be happy!

I love Santa, no snowmen in South Texas either!!! Plus Santa is traditional everywhere!!!

Becky P
07-25-2008, 06:56 PM
I, like everyone else would buy no matter what. But I gotta say. I think a Snowman would be more versatile and we could use him throughout the whole season (Unless you are an Aussie and celebrate in the heat of the summer. ;) )

I voted for a Snowman this time. I have just ordered the last Shack Santa and can't wait to get him! But, like others have said, no matter what it is, I'm sure I'll buy it! lol

Looks like the poll is pretty close so far!

call me confused.com .........LOL

I've been thinking about this since Sherry posted the poll on the forum and I still can't decide.......


maybe I need to have play with my xmas stamps before i make a descision

so off to get my fingers inky

Snowman for me please... He did such a great job on the Santa... I can only imagine what a wonderful snowman he would create! But I am also fine either way.

I really liked last years Santa, so I'd like to see what he can do with a snowman. Plus, I'd like to have a collection of Shack images as well, but I'd prefer them be different each year rather than have them all be Santas.

I voted for a snowman. Hugs, Heather

I vote for a snowman too.

cindi
07-27-2008, 05:16 PM
to see one of each then decide??
I'm just torn, but either way..I'm sure I'll buy which ever it is

I voted for a snowman image. That way I can use it all winter and not just for Christmas.
(Just my 2 cents :) )

07-27-2008, 05:51 PM
I'm thinking just like Teresa. I voted snowman to use all winter.

07-27-2008, 05:54 PM
WOW, the snowman is way ahead now ....

ccstampin12
07-27-2008, 06:29 PM
OK....I gave this some thought and wavered between the two for a while. Now I'm thinking I'd like a snowman image this year.
I will vote right now!

Oh man! Snowman is kicking Santa's butt!! I'm sad for Santa, never knew he was so unloved. Poor man!

Ha ha....Suzi that's a good one! I didn't vote because there isn't a button that says "either one is o.k. with me"

07-28-2008, 12:05 AM
I voted for a Santa, as i have lots of snowmen and no santas... so seeing lots of ideas before its committed to rubber no matter what kind of image it turns out to be will be a very cool thing Sherry. thanks for the poll...

Paula Carden
07-28-2008, 06:43 AM
Looks like we will be getting a snowman.
I love snowmen/people.

CharityHand
07-28-2008, 08:56 AM
Could we have a re-pressing of some of the old shack Santas for some of us newer members? I really have no idea why I didn't jump at the opportunity to buy one last week. Sigh..

I'd love to get the first Shack Santa. I wasn't around when that one came out.

There isn't an "I can't make up my mind" one to choose from! I am leaning towards Santa though.

I'm with Jennifer, I'd love to have the FIRST Santa (I wasn't around either)... if any one has one that they want to get rid of please pm me!!!

Santa Claus is harder to find around my area. So, I will have to go w/good Ol St. Nick!

loobylou
07-29-2008, 06:42 AM
I don't think Santa can catch up to the snowman! He needs his 6 white boomers to pull him thru superfast right now!
Really it doesn't matter cos many of us will buy him anyway. Whatever the majority, and you decide, Sherry is fine with me.

TiikkiStars
07-29-2008, 12:42 PM
Well, I stopped wavering and made my decision. I voted for Santa! I realize he is way behind in the polls, but I don't see very many Santas when I'm Christmas stamp shopping and I see so many snowmen to choose from, so that's how my thought process went.

I decided to vote, hope that's OK with everyone. I voted for Santa. Hate to see the poor guy loosing! I'd be much better at making a decision between actual images. Since I've read others mention what they find hard to find, I thought I'd mention how difficult it is for me to find really beautiful snowflake images. I've been searching for two - a focal sized one and a smaller one for backgrounds and it's quite difficult to find that 'perfect' one!
