Our church has a Christian school founded in the mid-seventies.
For the first time ever it was decided to hold an Autumn Fair.
I was asked if I would enter the scarecrow competition!
Never having made one before and not knowing where to start I said yes.
The result seen above was awarded the winner
My entry for an Autumn photograph came second
Taken in Epping Forest
and my entry for a 'garden on a plate' did not receive an award
'you win some, you lose some!'
If you missed my previous post I think it is worth taking a look
He looks like such a friendly scarecrow!! I hope it scares the birds. Congratulations on both of your wins, Barbara.
ReplyDeleteTwo out of three isn't bad. Congratulations.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, Barbara! For someone who has never made a scarecrow you did an excellent job. Well done! Does it keep the crows away?
ReplyDeleteYou know, I like your garden best, all those little plants, and the rock work is fun.
ReplyDeleteLove your Autumn picture, too. So much color! (The trees look like they could jump up and run after you... scary like the ones in Snow White and the 7 Dwarfs.)
And your scare crow is so sweet. How could he scare anyone?!!
Hugs
Is that your scarecrow? I think that your photo should have taken the 1st prize...

The photo of Epping Forest is first place in my book!
ReplyDeleteWell all three are winners to me, Barbara :) This is such a colorful time of year here. My little Grand girls played in a huge pile of leaves today. And on Saturday a blogging friend and I went out and about to get seasonal photos and had fun going home and creating posts from the photos we snapped.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you are finding life so rewarding!

Your scarecrow is a very handsome fellow. Great job for being your very first. The pictures is also very nice.I love the golden glow of the forest and your little garden is adorable. What fun things to do at any rate. Win or loose.
ReplyDeleteGreat scarecrow! Very cheery. That photograph is stunning! your garden on a plate is a winner in my book, too.
ReplyDeleteAll entries are lovely! Congratulations! I just started working on a scarecrow frame for the grandchildren to "clothe" when they get home in December.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your visit, Barbara. Your fall photo is lovely -- what were the judges thinking?
