February POTM suggestion

15 years ago

It was discussed on the live chat tonight (Jan. 17) that we should have a POTM for February. POTM is Project Of The Month for you newbies (glad to have you along!). An idea or theme is suggested and if accepted becomes the POTM.

Since February is just around the corner why not have a Valentine's Day POTM?

It can be indoors or out, big, little, glass, concrete, a totem, a bowling ball, or whatever you'd like as long as it has a Valentine's Day theme to it.

So vote here if you'd like to participate or if you have a better suggestion let us hear it.

Could someone explain POTM?

Linda, I think when I first came on, there was one person who was in charge, giving a subject for the POTM (I thought it was pot of the month, lol) They would put the pics together in FAQs I think or ??. They got tired or busy elsewhere and so we had another take over. She got to busy with family so it was just hanging. Now I could see they both did a fantastic job. So someone would say what is it, what about and off we would go. I was often anxious to find out by the first of the month so I could finally get it posted by the end...lol. Then a couple of months ago, someone said ok what is it...so I tagged them, said you are it, pick next months subject. So off we went. If you pick it one month, you tag for the next one. Just gives more variety to the subject. And no real rules to stick to...no real deadline and no winner, just winners. Nothing mandatory for the list, just for some extra fun. More new ideas to steal and do ourselves, lol. yes, February is something folksy, primary color(s) and has something that moves. boy I have NO ideas but maybe something will pop into my head. June

Hi Cait, That is really cute!! Primary colors are my favorite, and I like that it's graphic and the design is simple. It looks like it can be seen clearly from a distance. My son visited Australia a couple of years ago and brought back a book filled with MAMBO stuff. Wow, that stuff is hilarious!! Have you seen it? Linda

Ok, here are the rules for the June POTM - they're are none - except to "git her done!!!!" Jaspersmom, if you'd like to post before and after pics, you go girl. No pressure at all. When you're done with your project, do a separate post with a title such as "June POTM Done" (This post might be far down the page(s) if you post in this one and some won't think to look for this past post again.) Ready, Set, Goooooooooooooooo - Let's see what everyone's been putting off time and time again.

I went to Al's post, and , wow ,that is alot of information and I need to know it all NOW,lol! I wrote down the "recipe" he has and will head over to HD or Lowe's to see what I can find there(they are closer to me than Walmart). You know, one thing I need help with is whether any of you know if I can root prune some bamboo i have in 25 gallon pots. They have been there for only one year but are just about to burst and they just need a healthier "look"(I see the bamboo in the ground and it's very different). These are clumping and I just wonder if I can keep them in the 25 gallon pot , healthy, by root pruning, adding new soil,etc , everything Al suggests. I cannot get any larger pot and my only other option is to put them in the ground but I'd rather keep them for the patio. They proved awesome shade and look cool! thanks! I have to go back and read Al's post again. teeka

The gears in my little brain are turning on this ... if I can find my Valentine box in the basement, I might come up with something. Not sure if I can, but look forward to those who are prepared to participate. DD has stacked so many boxes temporarily in front of my stuff. ~tenderlee

Looks like Love/Valentines Day is the theme. But you do not have to vote to participate. Some can jump in at the last minute and make one and post pic. Each one we see makes us want to get busy and do one...I have one staring me in the face to finish, yeeeee haw... They is no winner and no prize....just lots of fun and new ideas for everyone.

Glad you did this nmgirl. We need some stimulation after the activity of Christmas and a sit and vegetate month.
