Thirty minutes ago I had given no thought ever to having a scarecrow. But now the idea has fallen into my head and is growing. Who else wants to play? It would be so much fun. I promise I would take and upload photos of our scarecrow. When we've made it. I found some useful looking instructions here.
Let's have a scarecrow making competition! Anyone? You know it would be fun...

What a good idea - I've never made one ... what's the deadline? It'll never get done without one ... and then we can all blog them, lovely fun

Hmmm, a scarecrow making competition you say? We may be persuaded!
how could we resist????? (I don't do me-mes or pass-it-ons or any of those things....but a scarecrow competition....that's different!
