Thanks Gang. I've been playing with the totem pieces today and looks like I'll be making 2 or 3. All the pieces I picked up yesterday aren't quite working together. But that's ok with me. The cactus I had came from those little bowls that have several tiny cactus in them. Some were given to me years ago. And nothing grows slower than a cactus, LOL. But some definitely to go in the ground now, so I decided to play around and make a tiny cactus garden on side of house in backyard. Area where grass doesn't grow, and also no chance of dogs running into it playing ball. I hope to have photos soon. Lucky, I have a fairy garden on my back patio. I bought several of these from Dollar Tree to add to it. The fairies came in the two poses, but 4 different colored dresses. They are a mat finish, which can be hard to keep clean. I sprayed them, and the little flowers, with high gloss Krylon. Sure makes them looks prettier too I think. hugs, Karen

Kathy, don't hold your breath waiting on photos of "my" snowangel or snowman!! :) But I will take photos of the snow. I'm sure my DH will have some nice winter drives mapped out so I can see all the glorious winter landscapes, etc. He knows how much I enjoy making photos of interesting places. Besides lots of warm clothing, I'm also packing plenty of reading material because I know I'll be "house bound" a lot. Thanks Arlene and Jean for your "safe trip" wishes for me. My flight leaves at 11:35 tomorrow morning so keep me in your prayers. :) Hugs to all, Jan

oops.....the Waco Wiseguy thought it was purple :^) It looked like it needed to live with you anyway .....blue, purple, smurful....just goes to prove that I can't see doodly squat!!! I'm also not too bright....after the box was packed and taped and gone to the mail desk, I found the note on my desk that was supposed to go with it...LOL...I decided "oh well, it will be a fun surprise!!!" I am just thankful that it got there in one piece and you didn't have to do a TamGypsy repair on it! I am so glad you like it! the Waco Jaybird :^)
