Julie, cross-posted. Do you think there are appliance gods we could call on? My stepdaughter needs one too.
Nov Queen "FROGGIES_GIRL"
Forgot to say, now you need a shirt that says "Naughty Good Witch."
I don't know, but we can try conjuring one up! LOL
HAHA! That's funny, Turtles! I love Christmas shirts, but I've gained weight since the new anti-depressant in May, so I need new ones! I love the one I got from Linda Kay!
Julie,, since I sliced up my finger your box has no notes or instructions,, a couple of your items need to be glued together,,, So no they are not broke,, After I sent the box I found more stuff I meant to put in it,, Darn it,, I will try to get them to you some time soon,, If my brain remembers!!..
It's ok, Elfie. Thank you!
Ahh, at last I reached the Royal Carrier Service, and my tribute gallops toward you, my once and always Queen!
Not been at the computer lately, but I had to wave goodbye to our once and forever Queen. What a benevolent ruler!
May I add a word of caution concerning Passiflora incarnata? It is a beautiful plant and well worth growing if you can keep it corralled. In addition to keeping it in a pot, put a saucer under the pot or the roots will crawl out and get in the ground (if you have the pot setting on the ground). Here, and in your zone as well, this plant has long been a menace to farmers. Many herbicides won't kill it and plowing breaks up the roots and spreads it. I had it in one of my flower beds for years but have it pretty well under control now by ripping up every sprig I see emerge. At my grandmother's house the field behind is completely overrun with it. We just bush hog the field and let it run amok. It competes nicely with fescue if that tells you anything.The Gulf fittillary butterflies just love it.
I grow mine in pots.
Most other Passiflora will behave likewise if they can survive the winter, which is no trouble in the middle south and warmer.
Aw! Crystal and Turtles, you are so kind! I enjoyed being your Queen! ♥
Crystal, thank you for the advice. I plan to grow some for my sister. She lost hers a few years back. It just died. I want to grow mine along the fence line and let it go wild. I live far enough from my neighbors that it shouldn't bother them.
Looking forward to the boxes that will be coming soon. ♥
Mama Queenie, I just got off the phone with Postal Service, they cant find my address or give me any info because something is wrong with their system =/ Im hoping thats the reason why there is no tracking on it. Let me know if it came today! xx If not, I need to call back tomorrow! Big
Amanda, my dear, no box today! I was supposed to have 5 boxes delivered today (yours and some things i bought online) and I didn't get any of them. We'll see tomorrow.
Elfie, I did receive your box. Please forgive me for posting late but my daughter had her drama production this evening. Mail was waiting for me when I got home. I haven't had a chance to open it yet, but thank you so much! I will be opening first thing tomorrow morning and posting pics! Still need to eat and take my meds! But I'm excited to see what you sent! :)
Thank you all for making me feel so special! ♥
Elfie, OMG! I looked through the box you sent and just stared in wonder! Your little clay creations are breath-taking. Looking at the little baby brought tears to my eyes when I saw the little frog on it! haven't unwrapped everything, but I will later. here is a pic of the baby, a chair, and a mushroom! Absolutely beautiful. Hope you don't mind but I'm taking them to pottery class to show them off! :)

Too funny, Amanda! But I know what you mean about the tracking...the USPS be CRAZY!

Can't wait to see you gifts Susie.
Making ornaments.
What beautiful ornaments LK! I really like the Snowmen!
Amanda, everything made it just fine! I love all of it! :) Tracking is crazy right now! I have been waiting on boxes all week. UPS and FedEx are using the PO now to deliver some of their packages. I get tracking from one of them and then a few days later the PO delivers it! Crazy!
Thanks, Betty, I like the sign, too! That's why it's going in the kitchen. LOL
Susie, anxious to see your deals!
Linda Kay, love your ornaments. things have been busy around here past 2 days. I can finally do something I want to do tomorrow! Maybe! I hope I don't jinx myself! Spent 3 hours at the doctor yesterday. Finally got the prescription for Cymbalta to help with the fibromyalgia. With no insurance, it costs $157.00. I'm getting it filled because I have to. Be glad Jan. 1 when my Medicare supplement kicks in! Home nurse came to visit today. They will be coming to do physical therapy Monday. Teaching me stretches and exercises to help alleviate some of the pain.
Thank you all again for making me feel so special! ♥
Julie, i had to stop my Cymbalta because it was making me itch like an old coon dog full of fleas. I was on it for two weeks, so i did not have a chance to see if it helped my bursitis.
Sorry to hear you have no insurance till January.
Very thoughtful and unusual gifts from Baddy, Julie. I forgot to mention that the wrapped one, the scarf, was your birthday present! A little interest for being late, lol. I'm very glad you like!
On another note, I'm glad you've only got this month to go before your supplement is activated. Cymbalta is probably the med I depend on most, among 20+. I hope you get the results I have, and not like poor Linda Kay. :~(
Linda Kay, I was on Cymbalta 8 years ago, but the doctor switched me because it wasn't working for me at the time. But that's when I was going through the ordeal of losing my dad and losing everything to Katrina. Actually, nothing worked then, I just needed time to grieve. I am praying it works!
Turtles, what a sweet thing to do! The scarf is beautiful and I really like that it can be worn in so many ways. Thank you so very much! ♥
So sorry froggie! I have been so sick the last 10 days or so that mailing your package was put on the back burner for too long. I'm feeling better, but still not 100%. I still sound like a rusty hinge when I talk, so I try not to.
I had to open your box and take out a little water/light deprived plant and replace it, but I will have it on it's way to you tomorrow.
Again, I'm sorry. First time I have ever been late in a swap and I feel like dirt about it.
I suspect the Queen would agree that you are much more soil than dirt Alana! You grow good things, as I can attest. :~)
