Re: Projects-In-Waiting...
I think they would look great if you welded some of them togehter and made a headboard for a bed. You could also just hang it on the wall as is and use it for a picture/memo holder and use magnets to attach them.

Re: Help!!! Ideas Needed
Gretchen,
posted: 10:28 am on November 11thWhat a cool scale. I think it would be fun to put on a table somewhere and make it a season display piece. For example maybe some pine branches and cones for Christmas or other Christmas things. Pumpkins and gourds for Halloween/Thanksgiving and etc. for other holidays.

Re: My Creative Inspiration Desk
What a beautiful piece. I am now working on a desk that I had the same problem with. I am now down to the wood. I got the desk from the school junk pile. Tore off 1 layer of steel, 1 layer of veneer and 1 layer of plywood. I am now down to the real wood. I can only hope mine will turn out as good as yours. Thanks for sharing your idea.

Re: Sweet Little Potting Shed
Kari,
posted: 6:39 pm on October 5thYour potting shed is like something I would like to do with one of the chicken coops we have on our property. Was this one in really good shape? One one I have would need a new roof. I was starting to think it would not be worth saving. Thank you for the picture and for the reassurance that I do want to do something with mine. It is AWESOME!!

Thank you so much for posting that note of encouragement. You know God works in mysterious ways, I was just thinking I really just need to do this. I have been lurking on this site since it started. I can probably tell you at least 2 or 3 projects each one of you have done but have been afraid to respond or to post. Although I have still not posted a photo I am working on some things and hope to get pictures up soon.
posted: 7:44 pm on September 18thAny way enough babbling, thanks again for the encouragement.
