Meet Virgil . . .



My package actually arrived a couple of days ago.  My son did not see my name on it and opened it by mistake and then set it aside . . . and then forgot to tell me.  The packaging had been removed and it was in a water bottle box. My granddaughter asked me whose water bottle it was and if she could have it.  I was confused as to where it came from - but told her to open it . . . inside was Virgil the Venus Flytrap  .  .  .  in all his vicious cuteness.  I LOVE HIM!  I will put all the cute goodies to good use.
What a great package.  Thank you Kerry!

Thank you Shelly!

 Shelly made me the cutest toadstool ornaments, complete with “information sheet!”

She also included a snack bag I can’t wait to use and a beautiful “Say Grace” box which she knows I will use daily❤️




Thank you Shelly, I love it all!!!


Perilous Plant Perfection


 Clare …. What can I say other than the perilous plant you created for me is pure perfection!!!!! I LOVE everything about her ❤️

Thank you  too for the other fun goodies you included. I have never heard of the Rose of Jericho - I’m excited to grow it. The chalkboard labels and stickers will be put to good use.

The zombie plant seeds look interesting …. Roll on Spring!!!

I also want to apologize for getting your name wrong …. I must have written it down incorrectly when I was noting it to address your package - I am so very sorry.

Thank you for an amazing  swap package - it made my day.

Thank you Trisha!!!


 Thank you Trisha for this amazing plant! It's beautiful and fun and apparently hungry! I keep hearing a deep voice saying... "Feed me Seymour" and it is making me so darn happy. You made my day. I love every bit of this. Thank you, thank you, thank you 👻 💗 🧟



My pictures do not do this amazing creation justice. Anyone who works with yarn is so talented. But this, this is way above talent, this is art! How do you do that??? So cool. When I work with yarn, it usually ends up as a tangled mess so it gets turned into hair or a nest or something else that doesn't require skill or structure 😆 

Trisha included this beautiful ornament which was made by a friend and it is also wonderful. 

Then there is this little guy! He is so cute and sweet.

Thank you again Trisha for such a cool plant and Val, as always, thank you for hosting these incredible swaps.

Thank You Pat


 

Pat sent me a perilous pinecone ornament. It may be perilous but it's also endearing somehow! It even came wrapped in flower tissue paper. I'll be using the ribbon on ornaments for my Spooky tree and the paint pallets work great for underglaze in the pottery studio. Thank you Pat!

March's Spooky YOE Theme

 The "Winds of March be blowing" so with that in mind,  our next theme is

"Frightful Flyers!"

Think of anything that flies:  Ghosts, witches, evil fairies, cornish pixies, bats, ravens, owls....and what about those flying monkeys from OZ?  There are also vampires, gargoyles, dragons and thestrals.....oooo!  (But don't stop there, let your imagination take over and if you create something that doesn't fly....glue some wings on it!!!!  Then be sure to give your creation a name!)

You have until February 28th to join and the next day, I'll send out an email regarding partners!

Good news!   March is a 5 week month so ship date is March 25th

That's it for now, get February shipped out and sign up for March!!!!!
