I know you USUALLY pick a pot to suit a tree. In this case my friend traveled to japan for school. Since I love bonsai I asked if he could get me a bonsai pot from Japan. He bought me this hand-made pot and brought it back. Now I want to plant the very best tree in it. This is why I am asking. I do not want the pot to sit around empty. Thanks, Gardener Guy

I would gather ideas first. And check what paper items you may already have in the house. any decorative paper or even scrap of material. Practice using a plain paper cut to card size and start layering some of the snippets on it to form an attractive background. Then find a cute pictre of an animal or flower and carefully cut it out and glue it to the front. If you have a nice handwriting write a saying on the front. see how it looks. Then when you go to the store get a little pack of plain notecards with envelopes usually found in the card making area. look at the rubber stamps and pick out a general one that you could use on a lot of different cards and then get a black rubber stamp pad. Take those home and try the sme practice method with those. Then you can expand your supplies Hope this helps.

lisa fl, I have had to go through 2 more surgeries this year, one in Aug & one in Nov. I am on here most days but have not posted in a long time. When I had my TKR some members had a few comments that came across to me like I was stupid as far as my health care went. I decided to stop posting but still went on to read comments.
