You have a great collection of glass items. Like the others said, just start stacking to see what fits together well. Everyone seems to develop their own style. What worked best for me was to use larger pieces on the bottom and have the totem get smaller as it went up. I loved Kudzukween and Cindee's garden girl concept--looking at pics of their creations really helped me when I made my first ones. Now I have seen many others that are so inspiring too. And remember that you can mix the crystal with the blue or other colors too. You have found some really nice pieces to work with. Can't wait to see what you create. Remember, this is YOUR creation, just have fun with it. ;o) Luvs

All the stuff can go on the "cloud" these days. Off site storage. Webshots is changing its whole concept, American Greetings sold it back to a couple of the former owners, and now it will be all up on the Cloud, and upload there from your cell phone, your computer, maybe your camera but I don't know yet. Not for public viewing, just for folks you give access. And not in albums, have not figured out how to keep thousands of photos organized. So I will wait and see before I opt in to the new service. Meanwhile, Amazon has cloud, ASUS has cloud, and perhaps you can do a backup to a cloud. Sort of like space debris floating around out there, huh..... Sorry about your burglary. When I went north for a couple of months last year, my pet babysitter and yard dude parked his extra car here, came to watch TV, played with the animals, did the lawn, etc, changed the lights, left on music or TV late hours. So it seemed someone was home. He is a real friend! Love having a botanist for a yard dude, even if it is only till he finds work again. Note: I also never reveal my schedule of coming and going to any neighbor. So far, so good. When I worked offshore and was gone 6 or more months at a time, I used more strategies than that. That is why I named my place on the bayou MoccasinLanding. I also hung huge snake carcass mounted on a board to the tree by my little dock, with the sign, MOCCASINLANDING....PLEASE DO NOT FEED THE SNAKES. The grass got a bit high back there, and nobody ventured into my property. Moccasins are very aggressive snakes. I recognized the subject line as the Christmas carol. It almost "sings itself." Do you hear what I hear.....> Yeah, Theresa posts using Les' username. I think that is where Les chose to name Theresa's Angel Garden. I'm into names, so I notice those things. :) A little off this topic, but about hosta: I got my very last hosta order today, from WadeGatton. 21 plants from them. I also need to list the order I received from Hallson, and of course from Don Rawson, to wind up the season with a flourish worthy of Arthur Fiedler conducting the 1812 Overture. .....However, my little maltese boy kept me up all night last night throwing up, had to take him to the vet, and he is still very weak and cannot stand up. He is in my lap at this moment, muzzle resting on the crook of my arm. Little ole man is almost 13 and he is precious. So indeed I cannot set him down simply to type on the computer. Hope tonight is quiet and not a repeat of last night. See you guys on the morrow.

I did see what you saw in my neighbors yard just last week.Since the yards are all fenced off , with very few areas for a small animal to get by, I was stunned to say the least to see a family of gosslings walking around her yard for a couple of hours..Never did see how they finally exited,but the funniest thing was at least a couple of hours later they were seen parading down my street. Photograph was printed in local newspaper.

Photo #1 is the current bedroom layout. Photo #2 is a sketched floor plan with the bathroom extended and a pocket door inside the bedroom. Photo #3 is the current primary and just to give you an idea of what I’d be moving from.
