I am trying to get in the Christmas spirit.
I would really love decorations and tree ornaments the most.
I am really sentimental and love homemade things.
I have two nieces, one who is 4 and lives with me, she is my garden helper, so anything really fun for her would be awesome, as she is my co-conspirator in this swap! :)
The 7 year old has a nut cracker collection.
we do need some new twinkle lights.
balsam and pine are some of my favorite scents.
We can never have enough hand towels for kitchen or bath.
I have two cats and a pet rat so they like treats.
I am a medium in shirts and I loooove socks!
And garden stuff, tools, seeds, bulbs, stakes, trowels, gloves, books etc. are always welcome!
I would love any holly or other evergreen zone 5. :)
We can't grow mistletoe here, but I would love some!
I chose to abstain from all alcohol so save the cocktails and cordials, no rum cakes or egg nogs.

Aw, poor kitty looks so cold..... bbbrrr. Pretty tho.
LIKES
I have two sets of pierced ears; wrist is 7-1/2" - 8".
I'd love to have used Gardening books or magazines. I have subscriptions to Fine Gardening, Birds N Blooms, and Virginia Gardener.
I wear size 8 flip-flops and garden clogs and always wear a bungee style visor when I'm gardening.
Size XL or 1X for T-shirts.
Love all colors. Green is probably my favorite and Earth tones. Enjoy unusual foliage and growing plants I've never heard of from cuttings or seeds.
Some of my favorite candle scents are Earthly or natural.....Coffee, Juniper, Vanilla Bean, Linen, Citrus, Sea Breeze, Sandlewood and Pachouli. I have a Scentsy warmer for melting scented cubes.
Love homemade items, especially soaps.
Adore anything beachy!
I'm not allergic to any scents or foods, but I am allergic to Nickel.
We're coffee drinkers, the stronger the better.
Anything glass. It's well known that I'm a glass-a-holic...lol especially paperweights or paperweight related objects.
Herbs and Spices from your garden or region would be great.
Both our large and small garden flags are changed with the seasons, as are our wreaths. We're into birdfeeders and birdhouses, and hubby is seriously into wind chimes. I just listen to them tinkling and fill the feeders...lol
Can't think of a gardening tool I don't have but you might surprise me. Gloves are always welcome too, size L.
As far as chocolate, my taste runs the gamut from milk to dark to light. Probably like Dark Choc the best.
Wine is fine.
I hand-knit in case your yarn stash is getting a bit out of control or you have needles you no longer use.
Our Christmas decorations are traditional with red, green and gold, and primitive. I love Ornaments but not so much into overly religious themes or items.
DISLIKES
Chocolate Covered Cherries and / or Fruitcake will be returned to the sender!
Carnations
Gardenias
Although Ferns and are beautiful in their own right, I do not have the proper growing conditions for them to thrive.
We heat with wood and doing so saps most of the humidity out of the air -- what little there is in Winter -- despite always keeping a kettle of simmering water atop our wood stove.
Dislikes... Liver
I love chocolate of any kind.
I collect angels, especially if they have a blue dress.
I love to quilt and do all sorts of crafty things.
I love art for the garden.
I love anything handmade.
I wear a size 1X in shirts.
I don't care for candles that smell like pine, but love all other scents.
We have 2 dogs, a German shepherd and a black lab/pit mix.
I have a yellow headed amazon parrot that is 32 years old.
Do not put up Christmas tree nor Christmas decorations. Too many cats.
No live houseplants. Same reason.
Candles aren't allowed in the house.
Terrible at propogating seeds.
No snakes, owls nor rodents.
Personally don't wear pink.
LIKES:
Everything else
Size: 2X
