Comments (77)Faye is Santa in disguise, I swear. Faye's package arrived, and OMG it is fabulous. I mean, really Faye, this is one of the nicest and most thoughtful surprises I've ever gotten in the mail. Everything was wrapped so nicely, in pretty Christmas paper....just so many goodies, it really felt like Christmas to me! Faye's wonderful gifts: ~ wind chime/hummingbird feeder hook with suction cups for attaching to a window ~ pretty butterfly notepad with a pen -- I'll start keeping my garden notes in it ~ cute miniature wind chime in the shape of a lady bug (and BTW, this makes me feel really happy because "Bug" is actually my little sister's nickname for me; she just moved away last week and I miss her a bunch, so this reminds me of her) ~ 2 funny, adorable little "Wormies" -- these clay water sensors that you stick in the soil, and when they start to change color then that means your soil is drying out. (BOY do I need these! I've been watering my tomatoes too much, and they aren't too happy) ~ pot decoration clip, a little flower basket with two cute bunnies dangling from it ~ cute, cute Christmas card ~ Seeds: Christmas Rose (oooh! so excited to grow this), Red Golden Climbing Lily bulbs (is this Gloriosa Lily? Aah! Been looking for this!), Eleusine Coracana "Green Cat" (really cool looking plant), Japanese Morning Glory "Kikyo-zaki" (thank you! can't wait to grow these), New Zealand Christmas Tree (so beautiful!), and finally "White Zulu" Cape Daisy (sooooo happy about this one, I've been really wanting to grow this). Ah! I'm so happy! Made my day, my week, my summer! Thank you, thank you, and may your garden always be green and bright. Oh, and I'd just like to say that all my OBF trades so far have been really wonderful. Just a big thank you to all of you who I've traded with....See Morenew: obf-thanksgiving blessings
Comments (111)What a great month it has been...Thanks Melinda for hosting this month. Maryanne-If you check in just a reminder that you are the host for December. I will try and remember to send you a message on facebook. Another day to spend with family tomorrow. DH's family has a get together the Saturday after Thanksgiving so it's tomorrow. His family is so huge we rent a school house so the kids can have the gym to play in. Of course us adults have to play to so we always have a volleyball game after lunch. Mellen-I actually went to Wal-Mart last night and stood in line for a fabulous sheet sale. If it's one thing I like it's good sheets and these were 700 thread count for $24.96. DH and I were the second ones in line so we got 7 sets. Some I got for family members, there was no limit. Shirley...See Morebluee19
