NEW: Our Blooming Friends Valentine Exchange
Comments (141)Susie-Woo Hoo great haul on the BINGO win...Have fun spending all that money. Elizabeth-Good luck on your gall bladder surgery...The most people I know have either had theirs taken out or going to. Sassy-I did see the new daylight savings change for this year when I put up my new calendar. The days are already getting longer...Can't wait until Spring gets here...I love when it gets dark at 9:30 not 6:00... Remy-I'm behind on my WS seeds...I have all my containers but don't have them started yet. Hope to do them this week. I am the speaker at the February Garden Club meeting and definetely not prepared. I had hoped to take some containers with Pretty green plants in them but not now. Laura-I have Canna Australia I can send you...I would love some of your clematis's also...Need to get with you on those. mmqchdygg-Would love some of your Fat Spike seeds. Maryanne-I got your sweet package yesterday and could not get through the letter for crying. My DH had to read it. The Scared Heart Spiritual Society plaque for Dad was divine. I had never seen one of those and I thank you from the bottom of my heart for it. It will always be one of my prized possessions. Beth, Jeanne, Jenell, Tina, & Susan-I received all your cards and thank you so much for thinking of me. I hope to be a shoulder to lean on one day for you. Life is something all of us must borrow, returning it in time to whence it came. Love you ladies. On a happier note, Maryanne I have not had anyone call me Shirley Sue since I was small. I think Mom, my Aunts and Cousins put Sue in all of our names. Good grief everyone I knew middle name was Sue...There was Shirley Sue, Rita Sue, Mary Sue, Linda Sue, Connie Sue and etc. etc. LOL Shirley...See MoreUPDATE: Our Bloomin Friends January Fruitcake Swap Part 3
Comments (122)Klick, you can now put me as RECEIVED. Luna's/Jenell's box of wonderful gifts came today. And here is what she sent: -B&B Works lavender aromatherapy bath/shower gel that came in the shape of a champagne bottle -bath beads, bath salts, and bath fizzes -a bag full of Ghirardelli squares-milk chocolate with caramel filling-you used to send those to me two years ago--I still love them! -a cute flowered can cuzee with black feathers around the bottom-woowoo -white chocolate raspberry scented lip balm-it is awesome! -Life Savers fruit tarts-never had these before-really pucker your lips-sooo good! -a very cute flowered pen and sticky note paper set -stickers which I will take to school-the kids will love them -500 piece puzzle of a beautiful building surrounded by gorgeous flowers-I will also be taking this to school. When the kids have a bit of time toward the end of the period, I have a puzzle out for them to work on. This will be perfect! They love to do them. -a beautiful wrought iron scrolled wall hanging of two flowers with leaves and a butterfly. Jenell, I absolutely love this!!! Thank you so much! I can hang something from the end of it, too, I see. -some cool garden gloves-the kind that are porous material on the top so your hands can "breathe," and the palms are rubberized but not so thick that you can't pick up small objects. Great! -3 painted terra cotta planters on a terra cotta tray. Very Pretty. -a new journal with a gorgeous daylily on the front. Jenell, what a beautiful book you chose. I will be using this for my 2007 plant journal. Thank you for this, too. -lock de-icer -AND something I can't wait too take to school and display. A sticker that says WARNING-BEWARE OF THE TEACHER It's done in the usual warning signs that you see of black, red and white. Jenell, when I saw this I just burst out laughing. I LOVE it!!! DEFINITELY worth waiting for! -and last but not least, I now possess The Perfect Man. He's "sweet" and decadently "rich!" Just how a man ought to be!. It's 3.5 oz. of solid milk chocolate in the shape of a muscle man with white shorts with red hearts on them. This guy has a real 6-pak, short stumpy muscled legs, no neck, muscled arms, and a belly button. This is a HOOT! Maryanne, are you jealous??? Jenell, you really made my day with all of the fun, wonderful, and thoughtful things that you sent. If you were here, I would just hug you to pieces. Thank you so much for everything and for being such a wonderful bloomin' friend. Mary Ellen...See MoreNEW: 'All My Bloomin Friends' Time for the June Daylily Swap
