Comments (7)Have you heard the German tradition of the Legend of the Christmas pickle? An ornament is in the shape of a pickle and placed on the tree. It wouldn't have to be a pickle, it could be another shaped ornament. This works best if a tree is heavily decorated........... To get back to the legend. It was started to make everyone, especially children really admire and appreciate the ornaments. They are asked to find the pickle in the tree and the first one to spot it gets a prize. I guess the pickle was used for it's colour as it would be harder to find it in the tree and kids would have to hunt longer. I have seen a pickle ornament in some of the stores and if you check ebay, you will see tons of them for sale....See MoreFOTESS JULY SWAP: CHRISTMAS IN JULY

Comments (43)We had a short thunderstorm last evening. Hooray! No need to drag hoses around this morning. Here's POINT GAME Part 2 This one is based on our Bingo word bilingual, relating to two languages. The items numbered are colors in a foreign language. The items with letters are types of flowers. Your task is to match the numbers and letters so each pair is written in the same language. Each of the letters and numbers will be used only once in your answers. (I hope the same word is not used in more than one language, but I will check that in awarding points.) Send your guesses to me through Message or email. Simply post here on the thread that you sent answers so I will be sure to look for them. Example. If these were in English and #8 was “gold” and the only other English word on the list was h. “daylily”, you would give that as one answer: 8h. Send me all 7 guesses for #1-7. You are matching the items under numbers and under letters so they are written in the same language. The person(s) with the most answers right will get 5 points. For 2 extra points you can list which language each pair is. 2 more points if you correctly translate all the words into English. The last 2 parts are not required as part of the game --- just a bonus if you want to try for it --- and all 7 must be correct for you to get bonus points. Please send your answers to me by the end of the day Saturday. I'll announce the winner on Sunday. Once again, I hope this makes sense. I'm “creating” these games as I go along so I always wonder if my instructions make sense. czerwona blanc amarillo oranssi bílý flavo blau a. nelke b. gardénie c. lys d. tulppaani e. helianthus f. crisantemo g. róża Remember, this is the last day to send in your Bingo words if you are interested. Tomorrow is the last day to sign up for the swap. Enjoy! Jeanne...See MoreOBF Swap for JULY: Well-Grounded
Comments (64)I got Tammy’s lovely package. I think it actually arrived yesterday but my mail was delivered much later than usual so I thought I didn’t have any mail yesterday but it was waiting outside my door when I left for work this morning. Tammy sent a well grounded coffee swap with an espresso themed kitchen towel, a coffee scoop, yummy looking packets of sea salt caramel latte and java chip frappe mixes, a small wall calendar, seeds for carpet of snow alyssum, royal carpet alyssum, prizehead lettuce, purple top white globe turnip, and ruby queen beet, as well as permanent markers and craft bags to use for seeds. Thank you so much Tammy for a great package filled with things that I will use. Love coffee and I was just wondering the other day about what seeds to get for groundcover so you solved that for me! Thank you again!...See More
