Firstly I would like to tell ALL the DT that we have at the moment (old and new) How wonderful & Inspiring you all are. I have loved every one of your posts and there are quite a few of you (see links in side bar) You ALL have been different, Inspiring & fun. Myself & Debbie are so thankful you can all join us & hope you still stay around well into the next year 2012 & beyond :) So a HUGE Thankyou to you all & I hope you enjoy working on & looking at the Blog as much as we do :)
I have been really busy the past couple of weeks and my post has caught up with me fast :o I've not had much time to craft (i'm sure we all get this sometimes) But from now on I will be at home a lot more so will have no excuses now :) Anyway I thought I would show you two of my last couple of projects .... At Halloween I painted Pumpkins in Acrylic paint(masking with tape if needed), Then varnished them & also wrapped one in Black net....these Pumpkins are still going strong too :)
Then I Blinged my Poppy using Red Stickles...i was thinking is this a little disrespectful but i did pay for it so the money is going to the charity and I kept it red, Everyone admired it so People were thinking about it so i'm sure it's ok.
Hope you like, Sorry it's a little out of date but keep this post in mind for next year perhaps :)

The pumpkins are fabulous, and the poppy looks beautiful. I dont think its disrespectful, it was bought for remembrance day and the whole point is contributing to the fund and thinking about those who have lost their lives. x

The pumpkins are gorgeous and I love what you did with the poppy. Nothing like a little bit of sparkle:)

Fab idea's for pumpkins if you aren't handy with cutting tools! And for the record- I'm loving all the IACW posts too xx

Great pumpkins and love your poppy blinged. I too made my own poppy this year but still gave to the charity. Had so many folk comment on it I think I may have to make some and support our forces next year.
