Frosty the Snow-Pirate.

We did a Secret Santa at work recently. We had a limit of £1 (I know, they aren't big spenders at work!), so I had to get creative. The guy I got, Craig, is a big fan of pirates, and always celebrates International Talk Like a Pirate Day (September 19, in case you're wondering). 

Since I couldn't spend any money, I used a snowman ornament that we already had, and did some customization. I forgot to take a "Before" picture, but here are some "After" pictures. 






Here's a close up of the cutlass. Yes, it's more of a dagger than a cutlass, but nobody's perfect.


Here he is, on location:


And yes, I'm very pleased with myself.
