Oh, I'm glad it finally arrived Faye. It looks like the white gravel fell out and the fence needs to be lifted back up, but, at least it made it. Merry Christmas everyone!
This is it before it's extended stay at the Post office.

Oh, and my boys put up my tree this weekend and my son went to do the Christmas shopping and wrapping. So it's going to be a good Christmas after all. I pray each of you are blessed and enjoy your Holidays. Now, if I can get my son to make fudge (like I usually do), then I can just sit back and enjoy.

Such a cute little bug garden kind of like an old fashion ice cream shop. Love it.

I think Faye received the final gift, unless I've miscounted. If there's anyone who gave a gift but didn't receive one in return, please let me know.

It's been fun and I hope you've enjoyed it. Your gift ideas were great and I loved seeing all of them. Thanks so much for all the work and creativity you put into them, whether you had time to make them or not, they were all gifts from our hearts.

If you want to have another one like we mentioned once before, we can do it all over again and celebrate everybody's birthday in July. Just let me know. I do hope you had a really good time.

Merry Christmas!!

Just call me "Lurkalot"! Rolling on the floor laughing Oh my gosh, I haven't read this thread since October and I was glued to the screen following the trail of gifts exchanged!!! Blinking Blinking What a wonderful, fun thread! Not only did I enjoy seeing each and every gift exchanged but I was also so intrigued with the OT information about the praying mantis and 'Macarena'!!! Hilarious! Thank you Gordon! Smiling

So many incredible and thoughtful gifts from talented members but I'm short on time to comment on all of them this morning. I've even got a few ideas for next Christmas from some that were posted! I tip my hat to you. I've been working right up until the last minute on gifts I'm giving this year. As a matter of fact I'm putting the final touches on my mother's gift this morning, just in time to pack it for my trip to Maine tomorrow morning - nothing like the last minute!! Whistling I'll be back in a week and I'll share pics of what has kept me busy over the past couple of months. Wishing ALL of you a MERRY CHRISTMAS with a photo of my grandson - just one more day before I arrive to spend the holiday with this sweet little guy!!! Lovey dubby
