| I painted the letters on this old window. I think it turned out great. The picture of the window is inside the album at webshots. Please click on the picture or 'my public shoebox' to go inside my album. |

| OH, I love it, I agree,the lettering is so nice and neat:) |
|
| Thanks! I typed out the letters on the computer and enlarged them. I printed them and then taped the paper to the backside of the window. I then used a small brush to paint directly on the window. I used a razor blade to scrape off imperfections. It was really pretty easy. |

| Foxxy's window reminded me of this project I made for my girls for Christmas. It's an old basement screen and I cut out felt pieces (mostly wool..some regular felt) and stitched them to the screen. Turned out pretty cool. A friend and I had seen this done in a quilt shop. So I just made up a pattern from a pillow pattern that I had. Jeanne S.

| Love both of those windows. I can't take credit for mine - my wonderful sister 'thought' I might like this when she saw it at GW for $3.00 and picked it up - it got a place of honor between my kitchen/dining area and my family room. I just LOVE it - it was painted with the idea of putting pictures in the clear spots but I like it plain - I want to get a couple more to go on either side..... Lynne |

| Foxy, I love your window, you did a wonderful job on painting the letters. The snowman on the screen is really cute too, Jeannespines. I've not seen that done before. Very clever. And Lynne, what a great find. Love the flowers and butterflies painted on it too. Luvs |

| Great job, Foxxy. Would you mind sharing what font you used? Thanks, Janet |
