Ken, Beautiful Guardian Angel! Mine got mauled by something this spring (its first year too) but came back some. I'm hoping it looks even half as good as yours in the future. I have Green w/Envy and like it so much I have at least 4 plants (from divisions). Mine seems to have a fairly rapid growth rate. I'm buying more soaker hoses and DEADLINE next spring. (And I don't even want to hear it from you "formaldehyde haters". I'll use it sparingly. I got nowhere with the ammonia spray. Apparently I can't get up early enough or go out late enough to make contact). I vow to WATER, WATER, WATER and fertilize until mid July! I'll add compost in the spring along with coffee ground tea... Zowee, these sound like New Year's resolutions already! Ken, you inspire me! Char

I think it is a cute idea, and your grandkids will love having special places just for them. But this feels kind of disjointed, and the lace topper isn't doing anything for the rest of the display. Do you have a piece of felt you could use instead, or maybe a piece of red or green burlap? Keep the lamp, but take a couple of the pine cone ornaments on the tray and tie them with ribbon through the two handles on the lamp. Take the white garland and swag it on the lampshade. You can probably use some small paper clips to hold it on the top edge of the shade. Then hide the small paper clips by hanging the rest of the acorn ornaments on those, tied on with bows. Now move the lamp to center back of the table. Keep the chair and bear - so cute! Just pull them forward a bit, to the right of the lamp that is now centered in the back. Put the tray to the left side of the table, and forward. Take off the glass, (the garland and ornaments would be on the lamp)but keep the Santa with the tree, and the other little tree. I think the tray is silver or silver plate, yes? I would polish it up, get some of the fake snow or fluffy snow batting, and put that around the rim area, leaving the center open to look like ice. Stand the little tree and the Santa on the rim in the snow, and leave the "ice" visible. Or, if the silver tray doesn't work, do something similar with a smaller framed mirror that you might have somewhere, hiding the frame with snow batting. A few more trees, to create a holiday forest, would be fun, too, all on the tray or mirror.

Thank you for your responses :) Lynne I will try the milk remedy when Angel pokes her face up again! I also have a sample satchet of Charlie Carp, Michelle, so I will try that on just Angel. I'm guessing early Spring is the best time to apply it for results. Can I ask a stupid question...what does "lol" mean? I frequently see it as a type of exclamation mark...??

Thank you all Louise: She has lego galore and we are running out of room to display all the sets. She enjoys her legos very much. arcy: What I am looking at is no screens Oakley: I hear you, she loves her dolls, horses and calico critters. she also made a fairy garden which is hanging in the garden. amj: I will look into the Kano, thanks. Mtn: I am looking at these with no screen activity. I think that is why I need advice on the different models. See my link to follow. JTerr: I also will look into your suggestions, they all sound great. Here is my link, if I can get this to work for my idea on coding for her. No screen time. https://www.amazon.com/Learning-Resources-Botley-Coding-Activity/dp/B077MRB975/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?ie=UTF8&qid=1538572433&sr=8-1-spons&keywords=botley+coding+robot&psc=1
