It's TIME ....

CHRISTMAS

has come and gone ...

and I hope you had a
jolly good time!


The NEW YEAR
blossomed

along with the
paperwhites ...

right on cue!

(Seriously!
They opened on
New Years' Eve!!)

And now it's time to
drop by one of our
favorite stores!

There are lots of goodies ...

... you never know

... who is watching ...

whom ...

This little monster
came by for a visit.

Isn't he
FIERCE!?!


He
and his
precious cargo

(YEP ... the
$25 gift card
for my
"Monster Giveaway")


Is off to see if he
can gobble up some of
Oma's Oliebollen
at Sew Pretty.

See where he's headed
and tell
Annelies "hi"

(Please send me your address
so he can mapquest
his route!)

THANK YOU

to all the blogging
friends and angels
who visited for this event

and allow me to
come by and
visit with you.

May your
NEW YEAR
be filled with
joy and singing

and harmony with
friends and loved ones.

Hugs and thanks for being you!

White Wednesday -- Keeping SPIRITS White lol!

Ahhh!
the sweet fragrance of
paperwhites
for the holidays.
Time to get started!

Now you

need a drink!

Well,

not you, exactly ...
your paperwhites
need a drink!

REALLY!

Studies at Cornell University
show
that paperwhite bulbs
forced to bloom

and forced to drink alcohol
are shorter
and less floppy

with no loss of bloom size.


"When bulbs are planted in

early December,

they will flower in 4 to 6 weeks

with seldom a miss."


Plant now in time for

CHRISTMAS
or
NEW YEARS!!

CHEERS!

Hugs and have a wonderful White Wednesday.
