Oooh, oooh, send them to me, LOL!!! I am waiting for a friend to replace his windows so I can start on some projects I saw at a craft show recently. If they have the sections in them, you can use them like a shadow box. The ones I saw had a boquet of flowers in each section, one for spring, summer, fall, and winter. It was so pretty. They wanted $85 for it. I didn't buy it, but someone did. These things sold like hotcakes at that price. I plan on selling mine for much lower. But- I ramble!!
On to ideas. You could paint scenes on a piece of plyboard and put it behind the glass like an actual outdoor scene. I can't paint anything that actually looks like something found in nature, so I plan to paint snowmen looking in the window. If you like flower arranging, make a medow scene. Use a small picket fence, put dried flowers behind it, and add some tiny birdhouses. I also plan to take 3/4 " plywood and cut 4 hearts in it for each of the window sections. Then, I will fill the hearts with dried roses from the boquets my husband has given me over the years. I'm going to go call Jeff and see if he's got those windows replaced yet!!!!
I also had this idea. You could make a tribute to Oreo. BTW, I read your posts about him and sat and bawled my eyes out. I'm really sorry for your loss.
You could either make it like a huge scrapbook page or a shadow box with Oreo's favorite toys, pictures, a ball of yarn, etc. Then you'd always have him close.
Happy crafting,
