The way she made the bird plates surprised the heck out me! I just knew it was going to be hard as heck to achieve that look. I absolutely luv luv luv them.

And the prayer wall is perfect for any child. They can choose a different prayer each night. How fabulous.

Congrats to the winners!! They were both great projects. I’m going to have to make me some of those plates. I too vote yes to a Fall contest. I’t was fun seeing what all could be created for $5 or less.
