What did Santa bring ? Santa brought me a ------

Santa was very generous this year. Along with a bunch of scrollsaw blades, paint brushes, oil pencils, tips for my woodburning tool, hubby surprised me with a Taurus 3 glass saw. I about fell out of my chair. I never even mentioned it but my two other saws are out of commission so.....................Yeeeeeeeeeeee Hawwwwwwwwwwwwwwww! I am a happy camper. Santa's helper's (sister in law and partner) got me my carbon paper I desperated needed, more tips, paint brushes and oil colors and three new paperbacks from my favorite authors. Plus they got me a new woodburning pen with lots of tips and extra doodads.............Yeah! I'm glad someone reads my christmas list. I don't know which project to do first................ I was going to take down the little 3 foot christmas tree (freecycle)and hubby said no leave it up ? ? ? ? ? He suggested I make ornaments for Valentines Day, St. Patricks Day, Easter, etc and hang them on the tree............Wow what a great idea! Hugs, Judy

Santa on cabinet door

Anj, your santa is darling on this cabinet door. I have natural oak cabinets through out our home, bluish countertops so it's a perfect match. Send it on over!LOL I had seen a framed picture on someone's Blog last year that said "Baby It's Cold Outside". I bought some white cabinets doors at TBN and made myself one. I used chalk board paint on the center and just used a pencil eraser and removed the words. I'll try to find a picture and share if you'd like to see it. Don't have a clue where it is right now. Punk

Where to buy Santa’s Delight Holly
Q
Comments (5)
This nursery might carry it, albeit not mail order, and with a ridiculous hardiness rating: http://plants.skh.com/12170005/Plant/11061/Santas_Delight_Holly I took a quick tour of one of these Stauffers years ago. Like a walmart supercenter sized grocery store, but with a home/garden center attached. Plants looked ok but didn't buy anything. I wonder if it really offers much over existing cultivars of variegated English holly. Monrovia's new path to financial success - and perhaps other wholesalers as well like the one Embo mentioned - seems to be trademarking or patenting plants they are scarcely different from non-patented ones. Since they are plantae non grata in the PNW these days for being invasive, the last place in the country with a large selection of the traditional cultivars is probably McLean Nursery in Baltimore. He has at least 2 variegated ones that look like this. It's pretty rare to see a straight cultivar of Ilex aquifolium in an east coast nursery. Far enough south to be totally hardy, they are apt to die from root rot in hot wet summers...north of zone 7 the hardiness drops off. I read somewhere ages ago that Bartlett Arboretum was trying to graft them to mitigate the former problem. Glad someone, somewhere in American horticulture is following up on this 35 year old suggestion of JC Raulston LOL. (in one of his Arb newsletters from the 1980s, he had a long list of plants and proposed rootstocks. Other than a couple conifer nurseries grafting onto Abies firma, we don't see a lot of this being done) As I've said before, this forum needs to implement some kind of warning screen to tell people asking plant questions to say what part of the country they are asking from.

Thanks yall. I haven't sold on the internet - haven't figured out how but hope to get a website soon.

We had a lot of nice things at the auction - but it was a very small auction, not as many people attended as we had hoped but still my Santa sold for the most. And the lady that got it really wanted it so I am happy.

My ornament - a flamingo on a white ornament - sold right away for $15. The lady who bought it has Lou Gehrigs disease and I don't think anyone wanted to bid against her because she said she really wanted it. But I was pleased with that too. No matter what it went for, the profits went to the chapter so it didn't matter.

You all are so good for the ego!
