GURLZ .. i am sooooo loving all the TWIG ideas you kids are giving on another thread i started. anyone wanna' do a 'twiggy challenge' .. NOT a 'competition' .. i'm not into winnin' and losin' games by trying to be 'better' than a friend.

i just thought it would be fun to post photos (and mayhaps instructions) on some fun twiggy things we make.

doesn't have to be complicated .. can be as easy and sweet as the little 'words and names' .. like posted in mj's OUTPOST book!

i'm gonna' gather some twigs and sticks when the hot sun goes down .. will start on my 'challenge' next week.

anyone else wanna' play? xo

If this rain continues the way it's been, I may need my twigs to build an ark!

How long do we have, Frannie? Maybe this would be the time to fix up my old, dilapidated arbor. I start vacation next week.

WOW! I love it ALL, but am happy you came clean; good for the soul, ya know. Love the twig furniture, and love the little baskets you two made. A++ for everything!!! I made lots of grapevine wreaths last fall from wild vines, but I can't hold a candle to those twig rigs of yours! Hugs, Nance

OH CHELSEY HONEY .. it won't take too long for you to figger out my silly sense of humor. xoxo

nance .. ha! ... you got my number!

once i really did have a bunch of kids visiting .. including a little french exchange student .. we all decided to gift the basket to her. she took it home to her 'host' mother .. who called me up laughing so hard she could barely talk .. as she thanked me for the "poison ivy" basket! (well, we did weave fresh garden flowers all through it!!)

NO ONE got poison ivy though .. miracle of miracles! xo
