I posted on the other side but just remembered to post on this side............sorry! I have my SS name and everything bought, sorted and now just need to find a box. This is so much more fun then the other exchanges I am in. I adore junking!! Don't even get me started on Freecycling!! I have to go tomorrow and pick up a 6 drawer dresser (to hold all my supplies) and hopefully a 6ft christmas tree for our christmas display we do every year. Is there anything better then *free* lol Hugs, ChelCass

From e-mails and posts, it sounds like Secret Santa has a great many presents in transit. Yahoo! Keep posting when you receive yours! :o) Being the head Secret Santa, it seems like it's the North Pole here!!!! We've had freezing temperatures. (One night this week it got down to minus 15 degrees here. BRRRRR!) Then, a MAJOR snow storm hit us. We have 3 feet of snow on our deck now...most of which came non-stop yesterday and last night! I just spent 3 hours plowing us out, and IT'S STILL SNOWING! It's so pretty though out here in the woods. All of the schools have been cancelled so I have the day off from teaching. It's a bummer though as we had to cancel our Christmas concert last night, and our class party is tomorrow, the last day before break. Many roads have been shut down as well. IT'S THE NORTH POLE! Ho Ho Ho! I'll attach a picture looking out our deck doors just now. I'll also attach a link to the deep snow we got in January (for those of you who didn't see my post back then) which kept us out of school for a week! Bear Hugs! Kirk Here is a link that might be useful: Winter Snow in January

Hi Mary and welcome back! Here's what I have listed as host plants for the Spicebush Swallowtail: spicebush (Lindera benzoin) sassafras (Sassafras albidum) redbay (Persea borbonia) tulip poplar (Liriodendron tulipifera) sweetbay (Magnolia virginiana) camphor tree (Cinnamomum camphora) I hope that you get to raise some. I bought some spicebushes and this will be the fifth year I've had them and have yet to find any cats on them, although I usually have Spicebush Swallowtail butterflies flying around here most years.

Dear Santa Angels

Wow! You are really painting up a storm, Phonegirl. Three projects in such a short time! Photobucket has been acting up lately and the "click to enlarge" sometimes doesn't work. We can try back later, and maybe it will be working. I like to know what artist's designs inspire a project too. And I love to see how each painter makes little changes and adds their own personal touch. I do that allot, but mine is usually just to "simplify" it a bit! Sometimes my final project will hardly resemble the original one--more from my lack of skill than any desire on my part to paint it differently! LOL So are these little angels going to be gifts for someone? I sure need to get busy on painting some more gift items too. So glad you are painting and sharing with us--hopefully it will shame me into getting busy so I'll have something to share soon too! ;o) Luvs

Our 3 kids skating in a Christmas parade about 40 years ago in Porterville, CA. Youngest DD on left, holding banner, middle DD behind with arms outstretched, DS is holding his 'Rudolph' head, waiting for parade to start. Had to take it off as it was hot with it on, I made the head, plus all their costumes.

I love these, wish I had one. Mine is a story if that's ok. My son was five when the Polar Express came out. When we watched it again the following year, he refused to write Santa a letter or talk on his lap. I finally figured out he wanted to be like the kid in the movie and ride the train! The conductor tells the kid: "Well, it says here no photo with a department-store Santa this year, no letter to Santa. And you made your sister put out the milk and cookies. Sounds to me like this is your crucial year. If I were you, I would think about climbing on board." He really thought he'd get to ride the train! HA! I gave him a bell (the one gift the hero boy wants in the movie) and he wore that thing on his wrist day and night forever. That's my funny contribution. Sorry it's not a picture!

My mom took me to Frederick & Nelson in Seattle to see Santa. He was in the big corner window and all the people outside could watch the kids on Santa's lap. I was 4 years old and I thought Santa was so beautiful and I wanted to touch his beard ~ oh, how I longed to touch that show white beard! I was VERY shy and I was afraid to ask if I could touch it so I thought if I could just s-l-o-w-l-y bring my hand up and just touch the bottom of it no one would notice. Being 4 I didn't think about all the people watching from outside OR the photographer waiting to snap our picture. I just wanted to see what it felt like.

I imagine the photographer was having a chuckle waiting until I just touched the bottom to snap that photo. I was thrilled that I had touched it. It was soft. I was so embarrassed when the photo arrived in the mail! But that has been my favorite photo in all my 71 years. LOL

Dorothy, what a beautiful child you were! Fantastic picture. I can see why you treasure it. The look in your eyes is pure wonder, amazement and innocence.

Glenda, I watched a TV piece on Santa Claus training and one of the cautions they were given was to always have both hands showing in plain view. You can guess why.

I notice that your Santa was very careful to keep both his hands showing. Didn't want to be accused of pinching the old gals?

Some Santas are better looking than others - younger, too! This is my Grandson - Christmas 2011 (sorry for the grainy pic - couldn't edit it for some reason:
