Lin, I love you dearly, but you remind me of a student I once had. She kept saying she couldn't do anything and she'd beg for step by step details. One day I finished explaining something and she raised her hand and said: O show me, Ms. Brown, you gotta show me.

A boy in the back of the room started singing:
You put your right foot in
You put your right foot out
You do the hokey pokey and you shake it all about...

Guess it was one of those you had to be there moments.

The truth is, every single thing that girl made was absolutely perfect.
Bet yours is too.

Y'all are too kind. Well .... when I was younger I did have a "little" bit of patience to do crafty stuff but I've always had a short attention span and have been known to begin many projects that somehow don't get completed. The only time I don't have a short attention span is when I'm playing in the dirt and then I lose all track of time.

Amen! That's a good thing sometimes, Hope you are in the shade...

You too?

Uep, me too. time doesn't matter when we are gardening only the project we are doing at that particular time. I love play in the dirt.

Me too Charleen - I can't think of anything that makes me happier than playing in the dirt

Me three....I just wish I had more dirt to play in! I'm going to have to dig up more of my lawn so I can have more gardens!

Joining in with a few. I enjoyed seeing yours...need to update a few of mine... and get more!

Sheila, I love them all...rustic sings to my heart I guess. But then, so do the new ones. I like them all...love the peek-a-boo frog!

I like the one with the state of TX opening! But they're all nice.

Texas has the best shape of all the states!

Those are beautiful Sheila!

Sheila: Wow, really nice ... I love the one on the post by the Echinacea flowers and the one with the opening shaped like the state of Texas!

Me too, so cute. Love the frog one. I love frogs...

Thanks everyone! Funny about the one that has the TX shape. It is located by a fountain in the back of the yard, where birds are constantly coming and going. This year little baby sparrows would "play house" on it. One would go in and stand in the opening and fuss with any others trying to get in.

I would have loved watching that!

I found these in a Birds and Blooms magazine and took a photo of the pages for you all...or y'all...

Boo: That's one of my favorite magazines ... along with another Reiman Publication "Country" Magazine!
