I subscribe to a music service called Rhapsody and it's wonderful.<BR/><BR/>I wrote one of those vanishing posts once. It's like the fish who got away. The more times I tell the story, the more fantastic that post was (lol).<BR/><BR/>Take care,<BR/><BR/>AnnGrannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17283823157675990935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21073318.post-1156817460985110632006-08-28T22:11:00.000-04:002006-08-28T22:11:00.000-04:00Skye,I don't even MAKE them anymore!

I'm sure other people besides me are interested. That's a great idea to make a separate crafts blog, too!Skyehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04200824050116746716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21073318.post-1156801793897880942006-08-28T17:49:00.000-04:002006-08-28T17:49:00.000-04:00Thanks, Joy,I'm happy you like my gourds!

A lot were made for gifts and a lot were sold....But I DO have enough left (of my gourds and other craft santas) to make it Merry around here at Christmas!<BR/><BR/>I want to finish this little series of posts because Skye was interested in the process I went through in doing the gourds... so there will be a few more posts and pics about this.(Then I may open a blog just for crafts!...Move all these posts ther-and, hopefully, add to it in the future with new stuff!)<BR/><BR/>lol- I tell you, one could never get rich making santas- but it was a lot of fun!! (the other things too!)<BR/><BR/>...The santas, though, were very special to me!<BR/>It makes me feel happy, around the holidays,thinking of all the places my santas are doing their little bit in bringing cheer to the homes where they reside! :)Some of my Christmas stuff reaches as far as Virginia, NY, Maine-and all through the south.<BR/><BR/>JunieJunieRose2005https://www.blogger.com/profile/10550860961892546101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21073318.post-1156796522682343652006-08-28T16:22:00.000-04:002006-08-28T16:22:00.000-04:00Those gourds might be a lot of work Junie...but th...Those gourds might be a lot of work Junie...but the end product is worth it. They are so beautiful. You really have a knack. I just love those Santas...and you have SO many of them. I know you do all kinds...not just Santas. You have spent a lot of hours on these projects, but they are something you have forever and can share with your family and friends. You are very talented Junie....Joy Des Jardinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04893445642606862131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21073318.post-1156794101690815932006-08-28T15:41:00.000-04:002006-08-28T15:41:00.000-04:00Tammy,I've seen them used a lot in Alabama-and oth...Tammy,<BR/><BR/>I've seen them used a lot in Alabama-and other southern states- on very high poles with crossbars, sometimes, 3 or 4 bars....with a bunch of the gourds together, in rows! These are used for Martin bird houses! The gourds are usually just left natural or painted white (Martins, apparently, are very social birds and like those high-rise housing projects...with all their friends and cousins close by! :)<BR/><BR/>LOL- I am having fun, digging back into my Gourd Days! In fact, still have a lot of the things I made-and of course-PICTURES! <BR/><BR/>Lol- enjoyed that story too- of yer husband's aunt!<BR/><BR/>Junie ( remembering the Gourdy Days!)JunieRose2005https://www.blogger.com/profile/10550860961892546101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21073318.post-1156793147237552722006-08-28T15:25:00.000-04:002006-08-28T15:25:00.000-04:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.TJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11343953446581027685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21073318.post-1156792992257018152006-08-28T15:23:00.000-04:002006-08-28T15:23:00.000-04:00there are so many creative ways to use gourds...yo...there are so many creative ways to use gourds...yours is the prettiest...what my late father in law used to do is bring them home from Alabama and drill a hole and string them up on a long line for bird houses...my Hubby's aunt would stand outside after the evening meal and with a chaw of 'bacer in her jaw she would "talk" to the birds...one time one of them got her good (ya know what I mean?) and she laughs about it still!!<BR/>;-DTJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11343953446581027685noreply@blogger.com
