I'm such a Cath wannabe

 

While blog hopping (a favorite hobby of mine) - I happened upon this entry on Cath's blog and instantly knew - I had to try it!  So I did. I'm no match for Cath's exacto knife skills, but it was fun to pretend and play. I'm not done yet - I want to finish the fence and do the other window - but I'll leave it like this for now - until I know how much the little boys will pick at it.  I'm suspecting that Markie won't let it last long, it might have to move upstairs.  But for now - fun to enjoy.  :)

eta:  Just a few notes.  By 8am this morning, there is a hole down near the bottom by the fence where a certain near 2 year old wanted to get his look at the garbage truck fix
Also - the tissue is blue - nearly the same color as Cath used - this is just how it photographed last night in the rain.  Cold rain.
I'm also thinking I might check at the Paper Factory to look at their tablecoths - if some are thin enough to pass as tissue and that would get rid of the seam in the middle.

Very cool!

You go, Torm! I LOVE that you're giving this a try! This is one of my family's favorite things of Halloween--hope yours enjoys it, too. And I LOVE that you've used the yellow-orange tissue paper. Gives it a nice, eerie glow (can you use "nice" and "eerie" in the same sentence?)

PS I am so flattered by your title. But I will admit, I feel a little like I'm in Wayne's World, bowing down, saying "I'm not worthy, I'm not worthy!"

If/when you finish the window(s), be sure and send me a pic! I'd love to see it!

I am such a Cath wanna be, too! But alas, I haven't the patience that either of you have. Looks freakin' fabulous, though!

Oh wow, that looks so cool! I just saw something similar on another blog recently and thought I'd like to give it a try. Not this year, but I filed it away for future reference. It's such an awesome idea!
