Yep, wooden spoons can leave the kitchen and decorate your garden artfully, whimsically and practically!

Use to decorate your flower beds, use as plant stakes or come up with something new.

We hope you will let your creativity take hold and have fun for the next 7 days, creating and dreaming up new ideas and having fun!

The winner will be selected randomly by Vicki's DH Hank. You'll be assigned a number and he will draw one out of a hat (or bowl or something ).

The winner will receive 3 wooden spoons painted by Becky (me) which will be posted later tonight. I haven't had time to paint them!

Here is a link to google to get your spurred on with fun ideas!
The challenge ends Monday January 13th at 8:00 AM MST.

This will be FUN!

Sorry folks, I'm not as tech savy as Dave and Trish are I have a smart phone that would record Hank picking the winner but have NO clue how to do that.

Can't WAIT to see your spoons

There all kinds of ideas on Google, Pinterest, Bing, etc.. Just type in wooden spoon art, wooden spoons in the garden or anything like that.

I told Vicki privately I can't wait to see the prize spoons. I got slightly behind with Christmas, my trip to Oklahoma.

Very cool!

I am ashamed.

I didn't finish the reward spoons for you yet. One is a frog, one a bird and one a garden lady!

baby steps to showing you the prize spoons! (It was a very busy December . . . hahaha)

I did not paint these; they are from Jess Quin at http://jessquinn.wordpress.com...



I love the idea of wooden spoons poking into the soil throughout the garden with faces on them . . . faces of people or animals.

BIG ANNOUNCEMENT!

Since I failed to finish and post the prize garden spoons yet, you get ONE MORE WEEK to paint!

I am nearly finished but I think you all need to be tempted to participate.

Challenge/contest will end at 8:00 am on Monday January 20th.

That is all.

O.K. I will. I expect to win!

The prize wooden spoons are drying and I will post photos soon!

Finally I can share the wooden spoon art you'll win if Hank (Vicki's DH) pulls your name. I apologize for being so tardy.

The challenge ends at 8:00 on Monday EST January 20th so be sure to post your spoon or spoons before then.

Tweet, Ribbit and the Garden Gal will go to a good home soon!

Beautiful Becky

Thanks Vicki. Whimsy is my game!

I love whimsy

really cute spoons!

thanks Sandi.

Is anyone here decorating wooden spoons for the challenge?

I'll get to it. Is that 8 am or 8 pm?

Lets go for 8PM to give everyone some extra time. I sure needed it myself.
