If the colors do fade, grab some Testor's enamel paints. They're in the model building section at Hobby Lobby. I believe even Wal-Mart carries they. They're easy to use and can be applied with a small brush. Work great and they don't fade. You can even apply them over the varnish if you put another coat on after.

Looks great. I never did get around to making mine.

Very nice! I want some. haha

Token - there's always later - that's what I tell myself. I only really got these 3 done, before I plunged headway back into college!!! Unless the pace slows down, I won't get anymore done till next January!!! lol.

Sierra - whatcha got to trade????

Nancy.

Nancy, if it weren't for "later" I wouldn't get anything done.

Fantastic! What an artist you are. Those are some of the nicest I have ever seen.

I don't do trades. People are never happy with trades, so I just don't bother. Sorry.

I am going to show my dh these pics and hopefully he can come up with a plan to make some of these......eventually. lol First there are lots of things on the to do list come spring. hee hee

Thanks to All for stroking my ego!! Sierra, I think these would be very easy to make - a couple of finishing nails, a sharp twig and a slab of tree!!

Nancy.

very very nice...charming..and most of all...cottagey!

You know - I'd forgotten how nice those looked!! I still have some blanks left. I should dig my stencils out.

Midnightsmum,

If you click on the little flag in the upper right corner of each post, you can let administration know of your concerns. I've done it several times when there have been obvious attempts at guiding people to commercial sites---often completely unrelated to the topic being discussed. As soon as you submit a concern, the post you flagged will disappear while they evaluate the situation. I flagged the post that had been just above yours and it disappeared. However, I think Houzz may be more forgiving of that sort of spam than many of us, since they are, primarily, a commercial site who's goal is to connect consumers with services. Those businesses are their customers, in some cases. I don't know where they draw the line. I guess we'll find out.
