Jennywrenwrites, I'm glad you like it, I also find this idea really interesting.

This looks lovely, I must have something like this in my garden:

So many of these ideas are amazing! I definitely want to try doing some of these at some point to spruce up my yard! I don't know how people come up with all these cool ideas- they have to be craftier than I am!

The heart shaped ivy plant could be really charming once it has grown fully. I think that is something worth a try.. I just need a couple of wires to try this in one of my containers. Thanks for sharing this Claudine.

Ha, I'm looking for wires too. Spring has to come one day...(even if there are no signs of it) so I plan some changes in my garden - and this heart shaped ivy plant is something I really want to have

This is cute:

Claudine those acorns look so pretty.. they could double up as your Christmas tree ornaments. We don't have acorns here. I wish we had LOL .. I would make a lovely wreath with ivy and acorns.

If you don't have acorns, I think you can as well decorate cones with glitter, I'm sure it will look nice too
Here are cute mushrooms:

Does anyone else have the same problem? The picture is still showing up for me so I really don't know how to fix it

This peacock looks really funny!

Now I see those mushrooms.. Hey I would like some red mushrooms with white polka dots I have only seen those only once before in real life.. when I was really young.. I kind of remember it clearly even now.
Here is a cute garden owl made with recycled stuff.. I like CD's being used this way

 

[claudine]

Red mushrooms with white polka dots are toxic and really dangerous, we have a lot of them here
I like this CD owl, it loos so cute!
This decoration is made from a CD too:

I believe that mirrors can make a wonderful garden decoration. I found this picture and now I want to have something similar:

It's beautiful, isn't it?

Now that is some new and interesting idea. I remember playing with a mirror and leaving it hanging on one of my trees when I was a kid. I woke up to the noise of many sparrows at my window where the tree was and found a huge number of sparrows pecking at the mirror. But they were so noisy that we had to take it away.
Here is an interesting way to plant your succulents

I like to dry rose petals in the sun and then use wax paper to melt them into a candle. They make great gifts that are unique. I also hate trowing away roses because they are so pretty.

I love making candles and I have to nod in agreement with you that rose petals make great decoration on scented candles. I also make cards with petals and leaves of any flower.

@ Claudine, that is indeed a beautiful collection of succulents. I think they are the coolest plants, non fussy and thrive on next to neglect. It is fun to play around with them as they have no great root system.
