OOO I love that one! Color is gorgeous!

Diane, SO MANY congratulations Grammy.....he's a PERFECT little angel.
Eunice, my heart breaks for you and I will be praying for Jesus to ease your pain and when it is time that Carl go home to wait for those left behind that he will join the father in all the peace and serenity the God can provide.
Someday we shall all meet again and garden in the garden of Eden together hand in hand, heart in heart, soul and soul as one always and forever :)

mmmmmm ... Cinnamon Candy! I love it! (The plant too!)



If I haven't missed any, we've had twenty calls so far! I wonder who will be first to get Bingo? I have a feeling everyone will be waiting for the same few calls as usual! LOL. It's always gets fun towards the end, waiting to see who has the fastest fingers!

Oh My Goodness ... Diane - What a wonderful Christmas present!

"JT" is adorable - what a broad chest on that little guy! I can see how proud mom & dad are too in that picture of the three of them! I know they must be exhausted, especially mom after that hard delivery. Hope they can get some rest now that the little guy is here, safe and healthy. The next few months or so they probably won't get much sleep! Oh, what a joy to have a grand baby. Diane ... I am so envious! All the best to you all. Please keep us updated on how little James is doing during his first few weeks!

Thank you both! Doctor said today that my daughter had 3rd degree tears after the episiotomy so she is going to be sore for a while! But baby is beautiful! They had to use forceps but his head looked great, just a little bruise on the back of his head. And yes I plan to spoil him rotten!

No calls today?

I'm sure Critter will be on line at some point tonight with Today's call. I bet she's been busy with Holiday stuff!

I am so behind. Have not done much shopping, have not done much decorating either! Hubby hung lights outside but that's about as far as we've gotten! I know some people have had a tree up and decorated since before Thanksgiving! Now it's countdown time:

...16 days until Christmas ... 22 days until the New Year?! YIKES! To me the last 3 months of the year always seem to fly by!

Not much chatting today, either! I guess everybody is busy this weekend. :-)

Today's call:

10. Apache Holiday

Apache Holiday (8217) 07/03/1995 (J. Munk) Semidouble red pansy. Variegated medium green, white and pink, plain, quilted. Standard (DAVS 1416)

Now THAT is a beautiful AV.

I only need 4 more!!!!

I need five more....I checked the list and had missed one...yea! So I didn't have today's call but I did find another I had not seen posted up there! LOL

Have a great weekend. It is going to be in the 70's here today, and up to 75 in the next three days, what weird weather! I was just getting used to having a fire at night...lol

I need 5 more too.

I need 6 more.

I need six more... This is the most I have ever had on a card...
Hugs,
Susan

HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY THREEGARDENERS/Lee Ann!

Hope you are having a wonderful day!






Drat! I have been trying to add a pretty picture but my laptop is not cooperating this morning! So I guess my bouquet will have to be invisible. Have a Beautiful Day!

Happy Birthdday Lee Ann! December is a popular month for Birthdays too! I have several nieces and nephews that were born in December! Plus, a few DGers!

Happy Birthday Lee Ann

Finally got my computer in a happier mood.


Here's a Bouquet for Lee Ann!

Happy Birthday, Lee Ann! I hope this is a good call for you... reminds me of cranberry bread, which I love...

19. Ness' Cranberry Swirl

Ness' Cranberry Swirl (8135) 01/19/1995 (D. Ness) Double white star/variable fuchsia edge. Variegated green and cream, plain, pointed; sucker propagation. Semiminiature

Barb Werness submitted 2 photos to the First Class database... you can really see how the bloom color pattern can vary in this variety, between this photo and the next. (I don't know if these are 2 different plants or just 2 different bloom times.)

other photo of Ness' Cranberry Swirl...

Oh, that is a pretty one!



I love cranberry bread, cranberry juice, cranberry sauce and that cranberry/pecan stuff you put on top of your salad!

Very pretty, although NOT on my card...lol

Thanks for the birthday wishes everybody!!!

That one wasn't on my card...can we try again?? LOL

Happy Birthday Lee Ann!

Still need five.

Checking in real quick from my in laws but wanted to be sure to wish Lee Ann a VERY Happy Birthday :)

Happy Birthday Lee Ann... and many more....
Hugs,
Susan...

Happy Birthday!!! Sorry I am late!

Where is everyone?

I'm here. I think everyone must be busy with diff. Christmas projects. I don't have a lot to do so I am here. I sent out my Christmas Swap and have almost what I need to pick for gifts. I made 20 lbs. of fruit cake last week and am going to try to get some other things done this week.

20 pounds! That is a lot of fruit cake! I love fruit cake... I've never understood why it's the butt of so many jokes.

I pulled more fruit out of my hat! Today's call is:

17. Buckeye Cranberry Sparkler

Buckeye Cranberry Sparkler (8745) 07/27/1998 (P. Hancock) Semidouble bright pink ruffled pansy/variable raspberry fantasy; raspberry edge. Variegated dark green, cream and pink, plain, glossy/red back. Large

20 pounds is sure a lot of fruitcake!! I like it, too, but have never made it. I still have way too much to do to get ready for Christmas, so here I sit, still in my robe, and drool over AVs. LOL I've been shredding all that mail that we aren't supposed to just throw away. Unfortunately, I put that off and now have two big boxes of junk to go through.

I'm finally able to check in! I'm here and stuck at 10 too!

Congrats on the beautiful baby boy, Diane!

Eunice... big {{{{{hugs}}}}} for you and yours! May God hold you close in His hand at this most difficult of times.

Karen

Oh My Goodness - That Buckeye Cranberry Sparkler is Gorgeous! Wonder how many have that one on their cards and or on their plant stands? I love it!

I love seeing all the pretty flowers... I bought to AV's just so I can pratice taking cuttings... They are pretty..
I think it is quite because of the holidays... I know I have been busy....
Hugs to All ,
Susan

Didn't have that one. :(

Yes, it is a lot of fruit cake. It cost a pretty penny to make. I made five cakes that weighed a total of 20 pounds. I can't wait to try some of it. Jill I am with you about not knowing how it got such a bad rap.

I have a noid that looks just like that! It is one of my faves.

5 more to go!

Thanks for letting us know... Eunice and her family are in my prayers for comfort and peace.
