Bird Watching



Jessica over at How About Orange got really creative with her shades.


Sandy made her pumpkins proud, even if her neighbors now think she is crazy.



And since I'm all about polka dot's I'll share one more item from Pink and Polka Dot on how to make these sweet tins out of old junkie ones!

LOVE that pumpkin! Hmmm.... The ideas one can glean just from reading blogs. Now, where can I put some polka dots????

Natalia said...

Love'm all! Going to check each out. As far as Sandy goes - hang in there! Who cares what they say? I catch a lot of guff from everyone for my annual "Martha Stewart Pumpkin", which is basically a polka dot Jack-O-Lantern done w/ a melon baller. I make one every year, and it makes me smile! Your black & white pumpkin is gorgeous!

Just told my husband that we needed to go buy window shades, contact paper, pumpkins, spray paint and an ugly tin to go with the 2 we already have.

He told me I've officially finally lost it.

Ooh...more fun ideas, love it!! Thanks for the post below about cyberspace decorating too!!! Another, love it! I will put my thinking cap on and see where my biggest need is, as I would love your advice! Oh, if only I lived closer, how fun to have you come over and help decorate for the holidays! I have boxes upon boxes, and have started editing as after 20 years of marriage, I have decor multiplying! hee hee

Love polka dots too!

The tins are cute...I did something very similar not too long ago, which you can see on my blog. I got the idea from another blogger of course! :)

I really like those tins. It is just amazing to see how so many women out there are so talented.

Now I'm off to see how you did that to the tins.

I DO love that pumpkin! Thanks, again, for the props! Such a surprise to see my ugly tins on your sight!

Kimmie said...

Oh, I totally love the tins. Not sure I totally get the how to ink transfer, but they are amazingly cute and for a big family like mine...would be excellent extra storage.

Dang it! I procrastinated so long in asking you all my burning questions, now I have to pay...no more mooching off the Nester. How much to have you drive up here and just nest up our whole place? I wish.

Love your cans. The pumpkin is great!! I gave my pumpkin a do-over come by and visit if you can. Where did you get your lettering from? Just a font on the computer?? Laurie
