A Gardeners Forum Forums General Discussion The Banter Hall Fall Gift Swap keep this one till the end!

I am sorry. I did not get back with the pics. I was so tired and just kept trying to sit up and would fall back down on the bed and sleep.

Jiffy I did not find everything until last night at about 3 am. LOL. I read your card and it said empty the box. I said Yeah I emptied the box. When I showed it to my daughter she was curious enough to take the fondue out of the box and low and behold I realized what you meant. LOL!!!!

OK everyone. Jiffy was a really great santa.

I got a Chocolate Fondue. This is going to be a hit over the holidays.
A really cute Tee I will not be using this for gardening it is too cute.
A santa figurine it will go on the fireplace mantel, and three tree ornaments.
Lots of sample Hair products. My hair needs them all after all that sun from Puerto Rico it is like a brillo pad. How did you know?

and drum roll........A old man cactus. You know how I love my cactus and succulents.

Thank you sooo much Jiffy you did a great job. Here are the pics. They are clickable to enlarge.

Cool stuff, Cinta. Thank you for the pictures. I won't show them to my daughter. She wants a chocolate fondue or fountain so badly.

Very nice things.

Cinta, you certainly got some great things !!

I especially like your T-shirt !!!!

Jiffy, you did a great job !!

BUT............where is the cactus???? I see no picture---

He is in the plastic bag. I have to pot him up. I will post a pic when he gets all groomed and potted.

i'm so glad you like your stuff. i have another package to go to you. i found the rest of what i had "put in a safe place" so it will go out this week, i hope.

Jiffy I do not need anymore. You sent me more than enough. I loved everything and everything was so me.

I understand that I forgot....I do that with my daughter every year. A week after Christmas I am still pulling things out telling her I forgot I brought it for her.

This has been so much fun. I put my gnome rain gauge outside. Now if we could get some rain for it.

Cinta, Jiffy, I forget all the time--that is why for years now, I have kept a "book" of Christmas. I have the people that I buy for listed & what I have bought them & what it has cost--if I did not do that I would be totally lost each & every year---some people would get lots and others would get nothing--

Very nice gifts!!!!

Very nice gifts, Cinta. Glad you finally got home to open them!!!
Jiffy did great. I really like the T-shirt. Looking forward to seeing the cactus when he is all ready for 'show biz'!!

I hate for this to end. It's been so fun.

So everybody has theirs now??

I think so......??????????

except for Cinta's plant--it has not made an appearance yet------

I think we should do this again in July. Christmas in July.

It seems all I needed was for Patunia to send me a rain gauge. I've had around 3 inches of rain since.

That is so cool, Sheri. I'm glad you are getting rain finally. We have gotten a few inches this year too. Already topping last year's record low. But not enough yet.

yea Sheri, glad you are getting rain.--we are too--finally. The ground is saturated as my sump pump will attest--BUT the weather man says we are still behind--but at least my DH says I do not have to worry about my trees now--but more would be better.

Tina, glad you are at least getting some rain--every little bit helps !!

I second that!!!!!!!!!!

I "third it" (do I hear 4?)

Christmas in July.

Now there is one way to avoid ice & snow----

Ohhhhhhhhhh Sheri I DID wear the REd Shirt on Christmas Morning for a Bit,, My grandsons got a kick out of it and Dwight just did this-->

I am saving my Tee for New Year's Eve.

Jiffy---you got Cinta some great gifts there--I so love seeing the pictures---

I especialy love the T-Shirt !!! (hey Cinta--it is New Years eve)----do you have the T on???

Yeahhhhhhhhh Cinta Are you wearing it tonight??

I just got in from the New Year BASH!!!

Celebrated at my B/F's house and friends that we have been celebrating with for 25 years. They all wanted to know where I got the shirt. They noticed the placement of the miseltoe. Dirty minds that they have. LOL~!!!!

Oh great. You should have taken a picture.

And since getting my rain gauge from Patunia it just keeps raining. Wonder if everyone knows they have Patunia to thank for breaking the drought.

if they do not know they have her to thank--it is merely their loss------

i'm thanking her. hope it continues and spreads north west. the atlanta area is still in dire need.

I am just so very happy that we finally got some rain, even if we ARE still behind in this area. I just smile when I hear the sump pump.

Tre' took a picture of me in it Sheri ... I had just woke up and threw it on so they could see it,, soooooooo it won't be posted

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH, Diane where is your spirit of adventure ???

Come Diane. We won't look.

---------- Welllll we won't look---much
