Jeanne, I forgot you had the same birdcage! I hope I don't regret painting mine black, the verdigris was pretty. But just didn't look right for Halloween of course. I am totally bummed out as today was a total waste! I got up in serious back pain/leg and it was all I could do today to take care of my dad and do laundry. I had wanted to get at least half the decorating done and finish tomorrow. I really blew it tho and am so frustrated. I just hate these "useless" days the Fibro gives me constantly. Punk, I couldn't thread a needle much less sew anything. The kitty came with several outfits, he was in some catalog I saw last year. He has St Paddy's and Patriotic ones. I can just picture WHY the purple cat is all arched up and mad, looking at little Jazz jr. LOL. (tho the real Jazz would probably more resemble the purple cat if I tried to dress HIM up!!) Here's a close-up of one tassel witch. Her face and hands are made of some sort of plastic or resin. You could very carefully put something small in her hands, but they don't move much. hugs, Karen

thank you so much,, YUCK i don't care for that at all. We are not doing the brick, we are using castle rock similar to the stone that sprice5105 used under her porch, but i still don't think i care for the red. Our roof is black/ gray// any other ideas. Our current home is a cactus green w/ white which i love. I will be using some accent color, in the gables but OH I DON"T KNOW NOW. What to do ? What is your favorite house color.

When my Mother passed away and I inherited boxes of old photos, clippings, announcements photo albums of many sizes etc. etc. etc.....I spent most of one year re-organizing and putting stuff in albums of uniform size and archival quality....the timing was right for it to happen. Even postcards were put their own (plastic pocketed) album. I organized by year, cropped and pretty much made 'collage' pages....many photo's telling a 'story in photos' with few captions on only a few pages. I typed into a computer program all of the details I could gather about ancestors from obits etc.and sealed those clippings into album pages as well. It DID take a year, and my large dining room table was like an ocean as I got it cleaned up from one year/era before the next came rushing in. I still have one photo box with 'worthwhile' but unidentified photo's and duplicates, if any family members ever want to check them out; and one box of negatives identified mostly as they were saved by the photographer. Meanwhile, the very large 12x12 albums ARE looked at frequently and different 'times/people' are found easily. A couple of summers ago, youngest grandaughter made the observation that there were no photos of her in the albums (age 13), so this winter I did spend some time bringing the "Family Albums" more up to date. Digital is fine, but we do miss gathering around he 'albums' checking out the parents etc. and it is a still to be done chore to get some digitals printed. We are about to visit 38 year old grandson who has just had his first baby, and meet his new wife and 2 children. I will be taking ONE album.... the time period when he lived with us during his baby/toddler years. I expect it will be fun to show him off to his new family.... and then the rest of US when they come here to visit. I also made seperate albums for each of my 3 children... taking many photos 40 miles into town to scan. Today I have my own scanner and printer, so that should make putting albums together really easy. Still a work in progress, as each of the families continue to grow.
