buford: I thought I was the only one! They grow EVERYWHERE here...you almost trip over them. But, try to plant one? It hasn't worked for me yet. I have tried twice and both times, they flowered, then leafed out beautifully, then promptly died. Maybe we should start a thread to find out what we are doing wrong!

Thank you so much... My camera takes some really beautiful pic's .. At least I think it does... I took pic's today of my gourds.. Is the first time I ever did them... They are beautiful and I cant wait to have them dryed and we can use as a birdhouse.... Susan

That person posts sometimes on the dec forums as "WannadoitallPauline"....I LOVE her home...her use of reds/golds and greens is wonderful! Thank you for posting....

Karen, You always amaze me with your talent!! So Wish you could get back in the full spirit of things again. Such great talent and not being used... :( I wonder if anyone has an objection to me using any of these ideas in my Attic? I do not wish to use them without permission.... But, would love to share these wonderful ideas with my group. Please let me know if it is permissible or not? Thanks so much, Creek Just to let you know, my group is a secret group, but, does not mean that it could not get out with so many wonderful ideas! I know I posted my Christmas Tree here, and it ended up on Pinterest! Just to let you all know....
