I am looking for some nice named daylily fans to add to my garden. Can be a bunch of one variety, or different varieties. ===>>> I have for trade an XL Wreath - at least 24 inches WIDE! - White Pointsettias, Gold Pointsettias, Gold Ribbon, Bells, Gold Berries, glitter branches. All the wreaths that I make are a one-of-a-kind. Perfect for the front door or inside the home decor. Or, gift giving...or keeping for yourself! ...SEE PIC BELOW. It will be shipped with delivery confirmation. ===>>> I was hoping to get several fans if someone is thinning out their daylily beds. I'm open to suggestions though. But No common ditch lilies. And no solid yellow ones. The only two I have so far are "Stella De Oro" and "Distant Bells"... both yellow. But, I'm open to any nice colors/forms. Please email me if interested. Thank you for your consideration of this offer! ~APinchofCheer ! Image link:

Karen, so glad to hear you and a cpouple of friends went on a shopping spree. Even better to see your new finds! Sweet set of turkeys. DF's have 20 wild turkeys at their place and wish they'd fly the coop. However, I enjoy seeing them. You've always liked witch boots. What a DM to give them to DD. The owl is a great find and will be so fun for your Halloween decor. Oh the Santa Elf is adorable. Your DD knows she's got a DM who loves her with that find. I'm thinking I might be lucky that DD doesn't enjoy decorating for the Holidays right now! I just hope that one day DGD can convince her all my stuff is worth keeping.haha Punk

First, I haven't made my thank you cards, much less sent them and I do every year, usually between Christmas and New Years. This year I had been ill and I just opened packages and I really don't know who gave me what for the most part so I'm having trouble figuring out what to say. I usually say thanks for whatever I/We love it and plan to do whatever with it. But I'll try to get it done soon, I'm feeling guilty bigtime now. My first Christmas with my husband 11 years ago, we did the frantic Christmas eve in a nearby larger city shopping. We both hated it, big fight, spent way too much money and I said, no more. The next year we either bought early or put things on layaway and it was better. I finally got brave enough to make things the next year. He was sceptical at first but when he saw the response and the extra cash in his pocket, I took care of the supplies bought early, he was behind me 100%. Luckily all of the women are crafters or quilters, ect. and their spouses and children know about these things. We receive verbal thank yous and sometimes notes on my Jan. birthday cards. While I've never had the awful experiences of most of you, especially you, Jude, how heartless of anyone. I love having someone take the time to make me something. I can relate. I've only had a problem with a bachelor uncle. I sent him two knit stocking caps, he likes to jog and hike, lives on east coast so don't know where he does this, never heard if he received them. I'm still mad him. Every other year we've jumped through hoops over his gift.We cut down on what we spent on boughten gifts this year and still spent three times on him what we did on everyone else, he is always very generous to us (even though sometimes the gifts are nothing we really care for either, but still thank him) so makes my husband feel cheap if we don't spend a lot. That's it, though, next year he is in budget and if he doesn't like it, too bad. He wasn't impressed this year when my husband told him we were using his Christmas monetary gift, (easier to carry on plane and since he really didn't know what to get us, he explained,) to buy a hay ring for my horse and goats. My husband had already suggested before Christmas doing this with any cash gifts we received. Thought uncle was going to rip the check out of our hands, oh, well. We love the hay rack and it saves us time doing chores and the expense of hay wasted. Revenge is sweet even when you don't plan it. Should this be a hehehe? Janie

I agree! Its a mighty special Dad to even think of it, much less DO it! None of the guys I know would do that.
