Paper Twirlies Challenge June 2012

Greeting everyone!  The Etsy Paper Twirlies Team is announcing another inspration challenge for 2012.  Fellow Etsy Seller, CrochetGal, has offered us her shop as inspiration and here's what we are going to be inspired by:

SLIPPERS!

Aren't these fun?  I love the moccasin boot style but there's something for everyone in this array.  Our team members may use any aspect of CrochetGal's slipper listing, even the fact that it's a PDF pattern!  It will be interesting to see what the Paper Twrilies choose to draw on for their inspiration.  Keep tuned to find out!
