I just opened my ornament from Victoria (aisling 8) and I am just amazed, jaw dropped to the floor, amazed. It is a clear glass ornamnent, a kind of terrarium, with holly berries and tiny pines combs and an exquisitely beautiful tillandsias bromiliad growing in the middle of it. No one, not even my daughter and husband, could have found such a perfect gift for me (the crazy gardening lady). But Victoria heard the voice of my soul and this gift touches me like no other. Thank you from the bottom of my heart Victoria. You are a true gem!

    What a incredibly unique
    What a incredibly unique gift. There is so much thought going into all these ornaments and so much love. I can hear the pleasure and enjoyment that each and everyone is experiencing. Can't wait to get mine and I have to get on the ball and get mine in the mail.

    Of course the only reason
    Of course the only reason these gifts are working out is because I selected who was sending to whom! Oh yeah, right~ I am so dilusional that I make myself laugh!!!

    It's simply that what I actually did know, is that we are indeed Kindred Spirits of the highest order, and that ornaments would be selected with loving care and true sisterhood.

    It has been such an honor to have had any part of this at all~ and my part was miminal. I simply put out the offer, collected names and sent them out again. Easy! The rest was up to you, and you have all risen to the occasion beautifully. Is there any wonder I love you all so much???!!

    Happiest of holidays~ and thank you for describing the ornament~ exquisite!!!

    Hugs,

    Cynthia, she did say something
    about having to water it when she sent her post that it was one the way.

    It sounds beautiful! Maybe we should all post pictures of our ornaments to share!!

    Yes. It has instructions:
    Yes. It has instructions: saturate until water runs off plant (I sprayed it). Let dry between watering. Fertilize once a month with 10-5-5 dilated to 1/4 strength if desired (will promote growth and blooms).

    I will try and get a photo up when I have a chance.
