Minnie, I'm going to post to the gallery. I feel I'm running out of time and don't want to disappoint anyone. I'm looking forward to seeing some wonderful ideas. Thanks for keeping this board alive!

Well, the damage has been done, so please don't fret yourself into a sleepless night. I have burned them, froze them and generally made myself a target of the plant police. They can be tough. If you get it back to the place where they thrived before, it could conceivably re-start. Keep it warm and moist, but not wet. Do not trim it anymore, let the pieces wither and shrivel. Do not re-pot or otherwise disturb it any more. Remember that with less greenery, it will need less water. And wait. This is not the time of year it makes new stems, so if it just sits there, that is normal. The parts nearest the soil need to be somewhat succulent for re-growth to occur. The brown bark nearest the soil covers the green that photosynthesizes. If you have even 1/2 inch of sturdy stem, you will probably have a little plant in the spring.

Beginning my Valentine decorating and my latest find...

Thank you everyone! Before finding this place, I never really decorated for any holiday except Christmas. Ya'll have inspired me! Now if I could just find some more hiding places for the new stuff that somehow finds it's way home with me. My husband says that UPS and Fed Ex have their GPS coordinates set by the location of my house. LOL! Jane, I've discovered the trick for the candy. I just tell my family that they can eat all of it that they want and they don't touch it! But if I tell them "hands off" until after the holiday, they're constantly sneaking behind my back taking candy. Luvs, have you looked on ebay for a matching sugar and creamer for your teapot? Robins, I'm hoping to one day get rid of the hoosier. I live in an older home and that side of the kitchen has no cabinets. The house originally belonged to my husband's grandmother and she had her dining table sitting where I have the island. On the wall where I have the hoosier is where she had her china cabinet so that's why no cabinets. I've been not so subtly hinting to my husband that it's way past time to remodel the kitchen and put cabinets all around the room. I think he's ignoring me.

thank you for your response pam. i'll try to clarify for you. first, i am working with a lender. the lender wants to sell me a loan, which is why i am seeking other non-vested opinions. fmha is farmer's home and the loan is a subsidised loan if i need it to be.. so when i took out the loan in 1989 i got a 9% loan but only had to pay 2% of that each month, the rest was subsidised by them--which was the only way at the time i could get into homeownership. luckily i only needed the subsidy help for a few years before i was able to pay the full monthly note at 9%. recapture is basically paying back what the program 'lent' you while you were being subsidised. the house is fully functional, but what needs to happen is the kitchen, mudroom and septic need to be brought up to the remodeled standards of the rest of the house. basically we have the plan for the new kitchen addition fleshed out, but the work stopped when my husband became ill and he could no longer do the work. now we'll have to pay someone to do it, which will cost a lot more than doing it ourselves.

Glad you ladies are getting started on Valentines!

You may think the link below (a children's site) is a little 'childish' but many of the ideas can be "gussied up" and used for adult cards... it's all in the materials and skill level used. Anyway, it has great ideas, including pop-ups, one of my favorites!

Hi:

Just posted my Valentine for this year. I prepared a quarter fold valentine on index stock. On the front, I imprinted one row of hearts. Then I put the front on a hoop and embroidered the hedgehogs on my machine. They are really cute.

Aunt Mary, I love your card. Love the design! I just got my embroidery machine a couple of months ago and haven't tried stitching on paper yet.
