Look at my Goodwill haul from yesterday!

I still have some work to do on this one - painting, ect.

Blue totem bird bath - It's not crooked! I was leaning!

Plate flower - I gave it to my grandma - It's the prettiest iridescent plate in the sunshine. Of course, the sun refused to come out when we were at her house!

Great haul and you did remarkable things with it! You can kind of see the irridescence in the plate in the picture of all your buys from GW. It looks very pretty with the different colored globs on it and you placed them so well. And who would have thought that some ordinary glasses/dessert cups would make such a gorgeous birdbath? Love the blue and the butterfly. I think the birds will really like that teapot too. Great buys and great ideas! TFS!

Hey wow, you did get some neat stuff. Do like your idea with the tea pot for a bird house. Your bird bath and totem are pretty.

Purplefirefly, you have until the 7th of Feb. to send out. So, you should have enough time to add the seeds! You can send anytime you like up until that date, which I hope everyone can have their boxes mailed by then because our mail has been just awful since a few weeks before Christmas. Hoping that getting it out a week prior to Valentine's day will give our packages plenty of time to reach our pal's. I am going to start a new thread. I am going to post the "pal's list there as well. Watch for the update on Cupid! XXX OOO XXX OOO Tina

Dream and Tammy, I think you'll be surprised at how nice the fruit is at Walmart. Its over by the half marbles and silk flowers and candle section at my WM. I like it better than Michaels and its sure cheaper. I got a bunch of lemons and limes also and filled a big glass vase with them on my kitchen counter. By the way, Ladies and Jim, my DH made me laugh on my recent decor. You have to realize, he's totally oblivious to things to begin with. I've always said I could paint the house red and he might notice "something was different" a week or so later. Well, he's quietly HAD to see the plate decor since it's right in middle of our table. I push it to one side while we eat, LOL. So far it's been decorated for Valentines, St Pats, Easter, Memorial Day & July 4th, and now the fruit just for late summer I guess. But the other day he came in (and after it had been sitting there a few days, LOL) and said "so what are we celebrating this time?". Hey....he noticed anyway! hugs, Karen

OA, pretty cool, the only thing to change is the size of the cells. If you go to the top, and put your curser on one of the lines at the edge of the cell, and drag the curser, it will enlarge the cell so the words don't overflow into the next cell, plus if you have a more wordy description it will now fit. I am glad you knew how to do an attachment of the excel like this, I could not figure out how to "show" it to you all. thanks! PS, the excel in the example that I use is just a guide line for me, you can adjust it to your own personal needs.

Great stuff, and you posted finished pictures as well. Very nice!
I love that plate that you used for the flower, I pick those up whenever I can find them.
The teapot birdhouse is just too cute. How is the top fixed and how did you attach it to the board?
Lovin the blue feeder!

I can't take credit for the teapot birdhouse I stole the idea from someone on here.

I just used a combination or GE silicon and GOOP to glue the lid and the teapot to the board.

Thank you for all your nice words!

It's so nice to have people to share this hobby with.
None of my family or friends get it. They just look at it, roll their eyes and say, "Yeah, it's junk. Why are you so excited about it?"

*sigh* Too bad for them!
