That turned out great, Susan! I have got to try that graphite transfer method. I am no freehand painter, so it would be great if that would work for me. Love the tote ~ great Goodwill find!

ReplyDeleteAnother great idea! Very, very nice!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great gift Susan, and you planter box turned out awesome!! Martina
ReplyDeleteWhat a neat idea! I love it and I'm sure she did too!
