my awesome box from bluee19! the kids and i loved it :))

Ok, Christine's address has been sent to EVERYONE, except Nicole, obviously it's not needed- LOL!!! Please, let me know if you didn't receive it. I'll resend it ASAP. The succulents look great in the picture! :)

Deb

One question Christine,

Do you like houseplants? Or grow just succulents?

i grow succulents, but am not interested in houseplants.

I wasn't sure about the houseplants. I love succulents, violets, houseplants- seriously any plant! :) So, thought I would double check... It's houseplant season time, I see so many colorful plants I want every time when I go to any store! Lately, even the grocery stores have unique hanging plants! I'm always in trouble-getting that 'look' like I need one more plant! :)

Christine, your package has flown the coop. it has an expected delivery time I love Monday.

OK:) i'll keep an eye out for it

thank-you Lisa/ishareflowers! i love it all! heres what flowers were included, hosta larry's, black mondo grass, geranium confetti, variegated petasites, heuchera pistache, geranium samobar, geranium espresso, lysimachia firecracker, foxglove suttons apricot, sedum xenox, sedum sarmentosum.

Christine, Im sure the geranium espresso didn't travel well, just place the root/bulbil in the soil and it will grow nicely!

the leaves dont look the best, but the root looks good so i'm sure its going to be fine! same for the sedum!

Christine,

What a nice package Lisa sent... :) Love all the pics! They make the 'box come alive' LOL... and we are there to see what's in it! I'm still working on my package. I've had some pet issues. Serious pet issues. Toby our 11 year old boston came down with an inner ear infection. He has glaucoma, and a cataract- so is on eye meds twice a day. He started walking funny/head tilt. Rushed him to the vets, he had bacteria in his inner ear (some ear stuff was pulled out and tested.) He then was put on meds- and was so dizzy I had to pick him up and guide him outside. It was so stressful, then- Tobasco my french bulldog had a weird looking hot spot on his side. It turned out to be a mass cell tumor, and was cut off yesterday. 1,600 for both- ear ache, tumor cut off- we are going back to normal slowly in our pet family. Tobasco is waiting for results on the tumor. I hope so much it's nothing.... ;( I'm stressed, but will work on your box soon. I'll post more later.

Hugs,
Deb

Deb,

i hope everything goes well for your pet family!

So sorry Deb to hear of your family pets having health issues. I will be praying for all of you.

Christine I will be finishing the packing of your box tonight. I have lots to get done.

Have a beautiful day!

Tobasco did end up having a mass cell tumor. The vet removed it, cut a lot of tissue around it off too, we had it biopsied and the results came back with a few cancer cells in the center. No cancer cells around the margin/edges. So, if it's going to come back with a cancer result, you want it to never be near/ON the boarder of the tumor. So, the vet said he's going to be ok, that was the best possible outlook, no cancer at all near the edges! I'm glad the surgery's over, and he's going to be ok. He has a heart murmor, stage 3 (since he was a puppy) so we were so worried about everything! The Dr. said we don't have to worry about this tumor at all, if some sort of tumor came out later- it has nothing to do with this one. This surgery was a success! Giant ---sigh--- of relief! Mass cells are the cells that aid in healing (so he could of gotten a bug bite, scratch) and the cells just basically went wild, turned into a tumor. Some are cancer, and some aren't. Luckily, Tobasco only had a few cells that tested positive for cancer, and in the center of this lump! Always take the dog in ASAP! If you see some sort of reddish button looking lump. It started out as a scratch, and kind of raised. I thought it was 'hot spot' and started using natural apple cider vinegar on it. When the vinegar didn't do anything, and I noticed him scratching it, and it started to bleed. We rushed him to the vets right away! Tobasco gets his surgery bandages off tomorrow, and get's his drainage tubes out. He's already had one checkup after the surgery, and he's doing good. Saturday will be his second post op checkup. He's a little leary of going to the vets now. Before he loved to go. Now, he kind of cringes when we walk in. Poor little guy! ;)

Thank you Debby for letting us know about your love one. I so understand the love between pets. Sending hugs!!

Thanks for listening... Just letting everyone know what's going on. ;) I keep saying Mass cell, it's Mast cell tumor. It's a really common cancer for dogs, so if you have one, look it up before- you ever have to. It's nice to be informed. Pets are my Family.. :)

Back to Christine's month! I'm working on my box this coming week, I promise!!

My box went out today Christine- USPS 9505 5121 5033 5170 0056 81, Monday delivery. I'm not sure I like the flatrate mediums, seriously.. I always need a bigger box to fit more! LOL! I'm not a good packer! ;)

yes i did! thank-you! love those:)) sorry forgot to post that.

from deb. thank-you!! love that blue pot!

I'm glad it made it there in one piece! ;) I picked it up from a little shop in Wisconsin dells. One of those everything is hand made pottery- shops. I needed a bigger box, seriously. I tried to pack as much as possible! Did the little burgundy maple trees make it? I have the big one in the front yard, and love the color of it in the Fall, Spring. The little bag is perfect for collecting seeds/bulbs and keeping them organized!

yes the little maple trees look great!

I envy you with the maple trees, Love them! I am working on your box I promise to have it in the mail before wednesday. This has been a really busy month for me! I am ready for a vacation but that won't happen until august..so back to work I go.

Everyone have a blessed, beautiful day!

Tammy

Wow, can't believe how fast June is going... it's almost over! Where does the time go? ;)

When I was younger, I wanted time to go fast so I can be a grow up and get to do grown up things. Now that I am old, I want to do kids stuff, wish I could change the time back so I do not have to deal with so much that I have now!!

Debby ~ next u know, its Christmas (I do love Christmas though) :)
