Oh yeah those sunflowers were great I am thinking I HAVE to make a trip to her shop for a chocolate fix LOL

Josephine, Arlington, TX(Zone 8a)

Well, back to the pictures, sorry i have been so slow.
This is Chalenesplants, Charlene, with the bamboo mobile she won, I think Phyllis made it, she was really excited with it.
Charlene is a lovely kind lady who is crazy about plants, although most of us belong in the crazy about plants category.

And this is Mibus2, Phyllis, I think she worked the hardest at bringing everything she could to the swap. Handmade baskets cards and gifts for the door prizes, and home made food including the famous PMS pie, i must say I had a piece and it was scrumptious.
She is so pretty, I think she won some seeds, but I am not sure.

And here is LouC, Christi, what a lovely effervescent lady she is, she is full of praise for everybody, and it shows her generous nature. She made the dress she is wearing, and she won some of the handmade cards that Phyllis brought. Sorry the picture is so dark.

This is Bananna18, Anna, with a very appropriate prize, Mitch to her right looks like he is wondering if he should grab it. Anna is a very nice lady, it looks like she had a lot of fun.

This is Cocoa-lulu, Lynea with her prize, one of Phyllis' baskets. This is one lovely and tall lady, she must be at least six feet tall. I felt extra short next to her. She is very generous, owns a chocolates shop and brought the most amazing white chocolate with nuts Daisies candies.
They were scrumptious and very much appreciated by all.

Cocoa that was real good chocolate

Fate, TX(Zone 8a)

cocoa, it was very good. you didn't make that did you?

charlene is a warm, wonderful exceptional human. and my daughter's name is E.V. and pronounced evie. she got my grandfather's initials.

Oh, I'm so glad to have a name with the face. Trois gave me some false foxglove seeds, i'm so excited to have those. Thank you, Trois!

TARoger, I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Mamajack, I am a chocolatier, somebody got to do it. lol
That photo of you and E.V. with the pearlite is outstanding! I laughed so hard when she won it.....A girl is never too young for her first bag of pearlite.LOL

Fate, TX(Zone 8a)

you are an amazing chocolatier. is that a word? lol.

yep, e.v. was soooooo not happy about the perlite. jack won a walmart gift card and he was happy. but they both were a little upset about the sack of manure. lol.

Santa Fe, TX(Zone 9b)

Fort Worth, TX(Zone 8a)

Coco_Lulu's name is Lynea (long a), it's as pretty as the chocolate daisies she passed out from her shop!

Fort Worth, TX(Zone 8a)

Oh yeah Lynea!! The chocolate was fantastic! We wound up with one of the sunflowers and I found myself nibbling on it yesterday while bagging some seeds... I kept taking a small bite and putting it back into the package.. until finally I went to reach for the pkg and it wasn't there. It was EMPTY!! Oh no!!

How yummy it was!

Yes Mamajack... answer to the question you asked... "that" is a word. ROFL!!

"Can you spell that without any R's?"

Kingston, OK(Zone 7a)

Smockette I found a use for the buckets you gave me.
My pond wall caved in and I had to drain it and put the Muck in them to haul off. LOL
Bought a tank to put the KOI in and covered it with a lattice panel.

Ted you are such a hard working man ... you will tackle anything around the house ... Do you have a wife? lol

Josephine, Arlington, TX(Zone 8a)

Sorry you had such a problem Ted, I hope you can get fixed to your liking without too much trouble.
Josephine.

Magnolia, TX(Zone 8b)

Ted, I'm so sorry about your pond. But look @ the bright side! You got 40 buckets to haul that Muck off in. lol
Just glad it happened now, rather than in colder weather.
When I first say the pix & then saw the buckets, I thought that you were going to tell me that you were going to use some of them filled for your wall! lol
I want to thank someone for the great book I got as a door prize! It is Native Shrubs & Woody Vines for the Southeast. It looks to be brand new & loads of great COLOR pixs. Thank you very much, Someone!
:~)

Fate, TX(Zone 8a)

i kept hoping you were going to lay that book down and leave without it. lol. it sure did look like a good one.

Magnolia, TX(Zone 8b)

A library is of little use if not shared. I'll loan it to you as soon as I get some info out of it!
Anyone over here seen that big A-Z Encyclopedia that was laying on the end of the Door Prize table? It blongs to debnes & she is trying to locate it!

http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/t/786106/

It was not a door prize! lol

Josephine, Arlington, TX(Zone 8a)
