Tropical Island
Thank You, Terri! I bet that they are Yum-my! And you're creations are Oh SO Pretty as usual!!!!!
I just want to say a big THANKYOU to all the tropical Island folk for the warm welcome and for the wonderful friendships all of you have shown me. Thankyou for allowing me to have my fantasy Island in the sunny tropics (even if you think I'm the crazy woman from England)!!!
Aloha!
We don't think you're crazy.....not any crazier than the rest of us over here! I might live in the USA, but my DNA is from England! So you fit right in!!! It's been great having you! Always a special treat! Keep up the good work!!!!!
Terri, you blend right in around here! Your creations are so inspiring and gorgeous, and I love the feathers!
Can't wait to see what you come up with next, it's like Christmas every day!
Cathy
Merry Christmas, Terri. Thank you for being one of my friends. You can't have the title of "crazy"..that's my description. hahahah
LouC
Thankyou so much Texasgal,Cathy, LouC and Chrissy, all your kind words and good wishes are so lovely.
I've made a fresh brew, I'm sure you all need a break from your Christmas preparations!
Yes, I would love a cup of holiday brew! Thought I was almost done, but I always seem to come up with some last minute stuff to do, I guess that's just the fun of the holidays.
Went to a bromeliad nursery this morning and picked out a cool one for my plant buddy for Christmas, as well as a couple for me!
Terri, you would have a blast in this nursery, there are leaves of every size, shape and color imaginable. I bet your creative mind would be thrilled!
Ahhh, that tea hit the spot. Off to do a couple more little chores!
Cathy
Cathy, I bet Terri would have had a Great time! She is just sooooo creative! I sure could use a cuppa hot brew also! We had our family Christmas Celebration this afternoon, and I am beat! Tea sounds just perfect! Hit the spot!
Terri, Lovely arrangement! I love Tea Pots! Just Loverly!!!!!
T77, the diversity of bromeliads was just astonishing, so much color, diversity in leave size and shape- my goodness. I could just see Terri harvesting a leaf here or there, or even popping a whole bromeliad into an arrangement with fabulous results! Hope you had a great time with your family!
Think I'll have another spot o' tea!
I'll join you! mmmmmmm what delicious tea! Terri, this tea is yummy, you must tell me where you get it. We also like our Market Spice Tea from Washington state USA. It is yummy too!
SV, I love bromeliads! That must have been a blast!
We had a great time! Everyone was very happy with all of their gifts! Food was good and pumpkin pie with whipped topping!!!!!! I think I'll go get a piece of pie to go with my tea....want some?
Greetings !
Hi Cathy, Lucky you! I would have loved that nursery, you're right. I haven't seen one of those with the spotty leaves before, so lovely and unusual! Thankyou for showing me, I hope in the new year to see a lot more of your flowers and plants!!!!!! Oh,, don't tire youself out with the chores.. deligate!!
Hi Texasgal, I'm so glad you enjoyed the tea. I don't think it's available in the shops!!! It is one of my own homebrews!!!! Thankyou for the pumpkin pie, I have never tried it before! Is it pastry? I wish I had some more teapots for arrangements, I don't even drink the stuff myself!!!!!
I have been out shopping, and found some last minute flower bargains!! I got a tropical bunch for 50p, such an adorable litttle pineapple!
Hi Chrissy, There is always tea in the pot for you! That is a pretty flower, what is the name of it?
Terri, Ooohhhh, that little pineapple is adorable! And those lilies, how luscious!
Merry Christmas Chrissy! I just had a cup of Irish Breakfast tea, now I am ready to wrap a few more gifts!
Cathy

Hi Terri, thanks for the invitation. Everything looks great in here. I will need about 2 hrs to go over this thread! Sorry I don't have anything tropical to bring you. . .but I've enjoyed all the neat designs you've made.
Lana
Terri is just so creative! So many "pretties"!
Happy New Year everyone! I hope you all have a wonderful year with your plants and flowers!
Hi Karma, nice to see you over here, and thanks for the compliments!
Hi Cathy, I hadn't thought of that, but wouldn't it be fun to float down a stream of flowers!!
Hi Texasgal, Thankyou! I am going to start some more pineapple tops this year, I hope they work this time!!
I was thinking, this thread might be too long to upload, let me know if it is and I will start a new one.
Good morning, Terri. Somewhere, and I have no idea where, it was suggested that another thread be started when the posts get between 175-200 in order to help those on dial-up. That would be a good idea. I am on dsl but sure don't want it to be inconvenient for anyone. You are a love.
Christi

Apparently, the time is adjusted for wherever you are. Another miracle of Dave's programming ability.
Snap, posting at the same time. Yes it's the afternoon here a 2.45pm, and guess what ? the sun is actually shining today. We are forcast snow for tomorrow. I think I'll just stay indoors for a while!
