Thank you ladies! I don't know why I didn't step back so I could get a pic of all three posts! LOL that was dumb. the biggest hoop has the biggest star.. it barely fits in the hoop. The other two hoops are of slightly different sizes but the stars are the same size. still works, I think! I was thinking of attaching them all together somehow and afixing it to the siding above the garage, permanently! (or hanging from the eaves of garage above the double garage door)

Well I really have to say I'm impressed. Everyone here has been so encouraging, welcoming and positive. Thank you for so many good thoughts! Reading your posts this week has been great fun and I've enjoyed hearing what everyone had to say. On the topic of further projects (besides finishing my flower bed) we bought a wonderful old small twin headboard from the neighbors yard sale last weekend for $20. Normally that is more than I would pay but the headboard is great and we learned recently the neighbors are having some financial challenges so we were able to help in a very small way. When we get that together will post again. Have a great weekend all. Kate

Plantbug- The North Coast Hosta Society is scheduled to tour our garden next Saturday. If we hadn't improved the path this hosta area wouldn't have been safe to walk through. This gave us incentive to finish it in a short time. I'd love for people to use our ideas for inspiration. I know our green house we built from old windows five years ago is all over the internet and has surely lent itself to imitation. mao

CforC- YOU MUST STOP WHILE YOU STILL HAVE SOME WILL POWER! LEAVE NOW. I'M WARNING YOU! There are trolls all over this Forum. There are people here who cant even spell!!!!! There is a woman here who is shamelessly addicted to caffeine. Sometimes we get into tiffs ("The Fight Club") just so we can make up. Those bottles on the Bottle Trees did not get empty by themselves either. I even fell off the wagon last week (You know the red one in my flower bed?). We play with pink dolls and dress them in wicked attire. (Dont ask.) Some of our posts get sent to "DisneyLand" (Code talk for that big DELETE button in CyberWorld.) We sing old Johnnie Cash train songs loud and off key. We have sick humor and you never know when someone is going to tell you to "Go Snort Corndogs" (which is painful). Our photobuckets runneth over with pics of "trash". I found some cool things in my neighbor's trash and the next day they left a plate of warm food out there!!!! (I was so embarrased but I ate all of it anyway.) We say things like recycle, repurpose, reuse, redo. It is all just a cover up for our "gathering" hormones being out of ballance. We wear T-Shirts that say- "HOARD NOT BORED". Some of the folks even put used baby diapers in their potted plants. ooouuuuuu. Sorry if you were eating a sandwich but I am just being totally upfront with ya before you commit. Gnomes and Fairies are highly esteemed in our world. We build houses for them to live in, RENT FREE!!!! If you have any questions before you enter into "THE ZONE" you can email any of us. But I think you have already got one foot in the Forum and the other on a bannana peel. mu ou ah ah ah.
