Thank you to my readers for your readership and comments.
...they sure are winners.
ReplyDeleteAll great choices. I really love the pac-man one
ReplyDeleteNot my choices (I like traditions in my scarecrows), but good causes. Not being near there, I didn't know about Aliza Spencer. How tragic. I read about it just now. Senseless.
ReplyDeleteI have been looking forward to this!
ReplyDeleteI love the scarecrows. I'll enjoy yours since it doesn't look like we are going to make the local scarecrow contest going on at our botanic garden.
ReplyDeleteSuch creativity at work!
ReplyDeleteIt’s fun to see these. My town is having a pumpkin people contest, which is kind of similar to what you have shown.
ReplyDeleteIt's nice to see the winners. I can see why those were chosen.
ReplyDeleteThis is Birgit…these are great! I love the first one and can see why it won 1st place
