Prize this week - 3 Images of the winners choice from the Robyn's Fetish Store

WooHoo what with work commitments and no internet I didn't think I was going to get this posting done, but here it is. I hope you enjoy looking at the many photos of my project, I have grouped several, but there are still lots.Skip to the end if you want to see my finished Out of the Box project.

I've used Scarecrow from Robyn's Fetish Store. Once in its original form, the second time I have created a back and cut off the feet and hands and added raffia.  Mounted onto sticks as part of my of the box project.

The only requirement for the competition I have entered is to use a Kaisercraft Pencil Box as the base.  It is quite large, measuring 14 x 6 x 3 inches approx.  Once I assembled the Pencil Box, I painted the top and got my hubby to drill some holes. then started adding different elements to create..................

The project begins, now what to use for dirt? - Used Coffee grinds are perfect.

A Vegetable Garden needs vegies, how about some Carrots, Tomatoes and Pumpkins

Also some Lettuces, Cauliflowers and Cabbages

Definitely need some Scarecrows, not scarey enough though, there is already a bird on one of their shoulders

And my garden has weeds, ladybugs, moth, ants and snails

Oh no! that pesky cat is in the Vegie Patch, where are her kittens?

There they are playing in amongst the vegies

My Vegetables

My Vegie patch

I typed and printed little signs, covered the sides in cardstock which I corrugated and then added gems for bolts.  Hope you enjoyed the tour around my garden as much as I loved making it.  So happy it has been completed on time, now I just have to deliver it.
