My stocking was so incredibly beautiful it was above and beyond everything I had hoped for and more. Three different colored Rose of Sharon seeds, many glittery stickers, an agenda, 3 beautiful nail polishes, chocolate candy canes, gardening gloves, a si.ver acrylic paint, AND many types of shake glitter and glitter glue which I have already used on several bows I make. Thank you so much, it was truly one of the most thoughtful gifts I have gotten. Thank you everyone for including me in your group. I have been away for awhile to visit friends during the holiday. So sorry for the long delay. I am also sick right now but hopefully I get better soon because I received so many wonderful seeds and bulbs for Christmas that I can hard,y wait to plant! Merry Christmas and happy New Year to everyone!

Thank you so much, DD. I'm hanging in there. Sherry

Sushi, I flag posts too if I see your comments and the offending post is still there. I'm happy to do some small part in trying to keep the spam under control here. I think if you didn't care and wage a one person war, this place would be over-run. It feels like Whack-A-Mole, but your efforts make it better and I wanted to say thank you. ====== I don't understand why the perpetually crabby bother to post here. There aren't very many of them, but they sure are consistently miserable here ALL DAY LONG, every day. They don't seem to be having any fun. They don't seem happy. They sure don't give 2 hoots about friendship or camaraderie here either. So all I can come up with is that they have nothing else to do and it makes them feel better or superior to be so condescending to everyone. People who spend any time here learn what names to ignore, but I do feel bad for new posters. Many new people post these polite requests for help, and to have the perpetually crabby be their first reply is so stinking mean. Not much makes me angry, but pointless meanness in response to a politely worded post pushes my buttons. The world has enough pointless meanness. Try kindness, it makes everyone feel better.

Jeri , yours is so beautiful! I was very lucky to find mine locally at waterwise botanicals when they sold quite a few different roses . I haven’t been back in a while but they had rows of lovely roses to choose from . My plant just hasn’t grown lush yet. It’s gangly but hanging on ! I’m hoping it eventually fills out and maybe I can share cuttings bc it is a gorgeous rose !
