Adding up the points, we ended up in a tie for first place! Both of these really fit the spirit of the Summer Doldrums Contest!

The Rainy Day Fun Insect Window Shade, by Some Art Fabric

This is a great project, recycling pages of an old book into a whimsical and interesting window shade. We loved that she got all the kids involved too! Per one of our judges: “I just love how simple this is!! Very easy to make and do!” She gives all the instructions and details on how to create this on her site.

Tying for first was:
