MEEEEEEEEE! I wanna play too!
 I love reds and purples in my garden. I seem to have a collection of gnomes that has grown over the years, toadstools/ mushrooms are cool too. And I like dragonflies!
My garden is an unplanned (stick it wherever theres a spot) Cottage type garden. I've been slowly covering a hill with ajuga so we dont have to deal with grass anymore (some day). And I like anything I can eat that grows in my short growing season!

Look, I know the supernatural is something that isn't supposed to happen, but it does happen...RZ

Pick me, pick me.  


I like chimes, yard art, bird stuff, flower seeds, making stepping stones (you know those kits), I like all sorts of things.  My favorite colors are yellow and cobalt blue.  I also like note cards and stationary.  I love sending note cards.  Off the subject, it's funny what kids and grand kids inherit because Darbi loves sending note cards too.

Yes. I love weird yard art and my favorite colors are flames; red, yellow, orange and a true blue is a wonderful color too. I don't follow a theme. I do enjoy oddities.

I am not in this time around.  But I cannot wait to see what everyone gets!

We are all under the same stars, therefore we are never far apart.

I thought it would keep it easier for sending, even numbers.

I want to play too if there is room.

I'll pm you shortly.

Lets see.  It's a specimen garden so pretty much anything goes.  I have most of the plants I want but I could use some flower supports my favorite colors are yellow, orange, and red in the garden.   I think those glazing balls are really cool.  And I'm looking for some kind of spike that will keep landscaping timbers in place.  I'm happy with whatever because it will remind me of the sender and I love our group.

I'm pretty easy to please.  I have quite a few garden statues already but I like wind chimes, plant stakes, gazing balls...We built a new deck last summer and I am looking for things to put on my deck.  I don't really have any ideas but I like surprises. :BigGrin:  I'm pretty easy to please.  I'm okay with non-gardening items too.  I'm really into fabrics lately.

I'm really not picky, Sheri.  I have been making scarves out of t-shirt material but it is hard to find here.  The stuff at Jo-Ann's i too heavy.  I found some thin stuff at Hobby Lobby but they only had two colors.  Brown and black.  Otherwise, just regular quilting fabrics.  That is what I have been making the bags out of.  I think I am going to make some baby bibs for my friend.  They are cotton on one side and flannel on the other.

If we do non garden items I can do the crocheted tee towels.  No teddybears though, at least not yet. lol.

duh, do you mean a kit to do crocheted tee towels?   Or do you mean you'd like towels and yarn so you can make towels like you did for me?  Which I use everyday by the way.  I keep one hanging, through the button hole you made, on a knob on the kitchen towel drawer.  My daughter stole one of them.

It means if the person I get wants crocheted tee towels I would make them for her/him in the colors they wanted.  Like I did for you.

How would you know what colors to make because it's supposed to be a secret I think.  Soooooo  we all need to put what color towels we would like in case you get our names.  I would like the white and blue checked like before or something with red.  I'm telling you I love these things.
