Autumn colors are my favorite, but they all are so pretty!
Following you and I hope you can follow me back. I've got a giveaway linky that's open all weekend and seven giveaways of my own at www.thingssentmyway.com.
After successfully creating your spring door cans. I decided to create a pair for each season. I see you're already ahead of me...lol This was such a wonderful and simple idea!!!
Sherry, I LOVE the door cans! I am coming to your Open House, and bringing my mom and mother-in-love too...so excited to see your beautiful creations!
Those are so cute! Great idea and the best part is that I can use all those little left overs I always have from my bigger floral projects.
