Your new header is very festive. I thought it was one of your own decorations.
Maybe I should go to Dollar General and get a few Christmas shots :)

EG CameraGirl said...

What a great idea to take your camera to a dollar store! Aren't you the clever one?

TexWisGirl said...

very creative! and i like dollar general! i buy a ton of their low-salt mixed nuts, and darn it, they have some good cheap assorted chocolates for the holidays, too! :)

Montanagirl said...

Hurry and put up the header. You did a great job with these!

Ginny Hartzler said...

You KNOW where I am headed today...Dollar General! It is beautiful! And your header has a beautiful WOW factor! I can't make up my mind between the header picture or your first edit, both are great. Especially on your black background. Did you buy anything?

Linda said...

You have such an artistic eye!!!
I wish I could do a tiny bit of what YOU do!!! I would love to do a header for my blog. I admit to getting all nervous when I go to that Layout thing and start messing with stuff! After many attempts - I DID manage to change my background to Christmas. Amber does my headers generally but she is busy and I am still using the one she did months and months ago. I just might get brave and try to change it myself!!
Love how you cna rake an ordinary photo and turn it into something EXTRAordinary!!!

Cranberry Morning said...

Wow! You have a beautiful imagination! They should hire you to do their ads. Oh. maybe they don't do ads. Anyway, I like the header and the one with the red swirls. SO pretty!

Inger said...

Dollar General should give you a free turkey for Christmas and post your pictures in their store window. Oh, I guess they don't have any store windows, do they? Not our Dollar General. Oh, well, looking forward to tomorrow's post.

Marie said...

we have one dollar general close by and I'm usually there at least monthly. I like what you did with the black background...so pretty!

DawnTreader said...

You took a beautiful decoration and made it even more beautiful! :-)

Kathy said...

I definitely love that photo and admire you for being so creative. I am on R and R in Arizona but will be returning to Texas at the end of the week. Hope to be back on blogger soon.

Amy Burzese said...

Awesome, Sandra. I love the black one. I've been missing in action but hope to get back in the swing this week.

Elizabeth Edwards said...

i enjoy your header - something about it reminds me of my childhood. i feel like some one i know has a glass similar to that? now who? it reminds me of Christmas time. ( :

Linda P said...

That's a pretty glass vase and the border makes all the difference to the photo. I would love to be able to create something similar if only I knew how to.

Ruth Hiebert said...

Creative and pretty looks.I wouldn't mind a display like that for my home.

very nice display with the red berries.

Chatty Crone said...

I love what you did - especially door number three- beautiful!

SquirrelQueen said...

Looks like I'm arriving late enough to see the new header and I LOVE it. In fact I love all the versions you created. You turned a pretty but crowded shelf into a thing of beauty.

Gail said...

I have to check the store to see what I can see.

Just Mags said...

Can't wait to see the result of your playing. Hugs!!!

Deb said...

You are so clever!
