I still can't get them to download, I opened an account with photo bucket as someone suggested but I don't know how to transfer the pics over.

Barb was having the same problem. She emptied her cache and closed out her browser completely. Then relaunched her browser and was able to post her pics. Try that and let me know.
So many people tell me I have so much energy. Must be why I'm pooped at the end of the day, I use it all up.
My sister's MIL aid to me once, you do so much for everyone and you are always in a good mood. I told her she hasn't seen me when I'm tired. I can be really cranky when I am tired.

I got my scarecrow done last night and I think he turned out pretty cute. I will post a picture later today. I did have to do improvising as I did not have any raffia on hand. I used a bit of spanish moss for the hair and brown paper bag for the arms and legs. I cut about a 1" wide strip of paper from a paper bag, crumpled it up to make it more pliable and then cut slits a long one edge about 2/3 of the way through to creat a fringe. Then I rolled the fringe up to make a mini whisk broom and glued the uncut egde into the arms and legs of the clothes. Then I ruffed up the paper so it looks straw.
I found this to be a very fun and easy project. There is a lot of room to be creative and give each scarecrow it's own personality. I also made this enitire project with things I had on hand and didn't buy anything!
I also did my salt dough pumpkins last night. I need to finish the painting and then I will post that picture also. I added some leaves and trenderils to my pumpkins made with the salt dough.
When I was first married and had very few ornaments for my Christmas tree, I made tons of ornaments from salt dough. I started making the cookie cutter type, but I got more creative as I did more. I still have a few favorites that appear on my tree each year.
I got my pumpkins cooling. They split on the bottom under the edge, but don't think it will show after I get them painted. Got to pick up some orange paint tomorrow. I didn't have green toothpicks, so I just took a green marker & colored them. If I have time before DH goes to work, I'll stop at Home Depot to get some paint sticks for the scarecrow.
