Mike, I just got back in town, I am so glad you liked everything. I had to leave town on Friday, I checked the confirmation, and it said your package was delivered friday at 1:06pm. I had to leave at 2pm, so I was hoping you would like everything, I packed the cuttings in your method. They had white nubbies, so I hope that they root really fast for you. The bulbs are a Red Lion amarylis, and a White Calla Lily, both Christmas bulbs. Barbra.

Thanks, Holiday-ers! punk...always appreciate any input! That's how I'm learning more & more...from you great holiday-ers on here! I'm thinking of a tall woodsy angel in the center...but have not found the right one yet or right price...think it would look good cause the buffet is decorated mainly that way...pinecones, berries, viney stars, etc. jane & purplemoon..yup, that vine tree is my fav, too...there was a crafter who made them in this area but they were very expensive... I think you could do one, Jane! Worked some more on the buffet today & it's looking good...but didn't take pics yet...my pine gardland keeps falling off the back of mirror ledge! Ugh! Will work at that tomorrow. I did change to a "timer" faux candle in the big apothecary jar...thanks for that idea. Still playing with the shorter one...kept snow in both. OA & PM...that book has just the BEST pics! Love it! Glad we all share it...thanks for your comments. Jay...your Father Christmas sounds wonderful! Frou...it is fun to see diff styles...glad you liked the jars...I love the gold of them! nana & luvs...worked hard today & got lots done...more to go, tho...had a good time...am very pooped ...so no pics tonight...glad you enjoyed. Jeanne S.

Hi Evelyn! We were going to make those angels at preschool today, but couldn't come up with enough clips. I was so surprised to come here this evening and see them! We put some little beads on the wings and use a heart-shaped bead for the head. Wal-Mart doesn't have the clips, so I have to try and find some elsewhere before next Friday. Thanks for sharing all the neat things you've been working on!

Wish we had read the reviews before buying this two years ago. Our Quadra Fire Santa Fe stove has been a lemon - it hasn't worked much in the little over two years that we have owned it and has been costly to have repaired. In the last two years we have had to pay to replace the igniter, the thermocouple, and the auger motor. Our local dealer will not honor the warranty as it is under new ownership and they "don't have any paperwork". The service fees are ridiculously high. We are currently waiting on the auger motor - told it has been shipped - installation not until December 1st. We only use this to heat two rooms so it is not like the unit is taxed. So, sorry - I cannot recommend the Quadra Fire Stove. Customer service at Quadra Fire just says the dealer shoudl honor the warranty but so far no help getting the local dealer to honor the warranty work. DO NOT BUY this pellet stove.
