I like these. Love the sense of whimsy in some and the craftsmanship of all. That orange is right up my alley, since I am nuts about oranges! I learned something interesting about pins a week or 2 ago when I ran into this book by Clotilde Lampe: Clotilde's Sew Smart. The pincushion was a household necessity in old time England and other rural areas. Needles were scarce, and if the family lost their needle, it was noticed by all. Thus, the pincushion was a truly functional implement for these people. Interesting!

Now this is just the right about of glitz to dress up a drab area. The kids will adore using so much glitter!

Now this looks like the perfect way to dress up the pillows in my living room and give this space a boost to fight the Winter blah's. Great idea!

Thanks for letting us know about this one. What a nice giveaway set of prizes. Wonderful way to ring in the new year and plan some projects for the upcoming year. Think I'll just head on over and enter....

Perfect timing for this post. We may graham cracker houses each year, this gives me some new ideas for our creations. I had never thought of adding a door like that. One of our favorites is using unwrapped tootsie rolls stacked up by the side of the house to look like a wood pile. With a bit of icing dripping down, these look like snowy logs.

i wonder if i could adapt this to not only add a layer of warmth but also to add that layered look without the bulk?

Great idea. I like how your selection continues the pattern in each "pane" or leaf. Visually appealing.

I like the mix of basic nature with glitter and glam - would look good in my living room.

I like the variety they used. I have a pomegranate just that would look good in an arrangement like this. I confess I never would have thought of mushrooms, but they are perfect. After all, what is woodsier than leaves, acorns and mushrooms?

This is a great idea.I wonder if I can find a way to add some sort of ice pack to make it keep things (like my egg salad sandwich) cool?

Helpful tutorial - thank you. I'm looking to make most of my gifts to give this holiday, and this is a great idea for some of the people on my list. Again, thanks.
