Today I came across something new that I thought was a wonderful idea, and hope you might just agree. Glue-free window decals adhere to the glass on your windows where they can be seen from both inside and outside. http://a-beautiful-scene.blogspot.com/2012/02/botanical-window-decal-creates.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Nicki)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8951345454958294284.post-6883793815116536796Mon, 06 Feb 2012 17:31:00 +00002012-02-06T09:33:31.435-08:00golf coursephotographic posterScotlandwindow photographyIf you enjoy a round of golf, or know somebody who does, here's a window view that was surely created with you in mind!
