Minnie, I'm going to post to the gallery. I feel I'm running out of time and don't want to disappoint anyone. I'm looking forward to seeing some wonderful ideas. Thanks for keeping this board alive!

Well, the damage has been done, so please don't fret yourself into a sleepless night. I have burned them, froze them and generally made myself a target of the plant police. They can be tough. If you get it back to the place where they thrived before, it could conceivably re-start. Keep it warm and moist, but not wet. Do not trim it anymore, let the pieces wither and shrivel. Do not re-pot or otherwise disturb it any more. Remember that with less greenery, it will need less water. And wait. This is not the time of year it makes new stems, so if it just sits there, that is normal. The parts nearest the soil need to be somewhat succulent for re-growth to occur. The brown bark nearest the soil covers the green that photosynthesizes. If you have even 1/2 inch of sturdy stem, you will probably have a little plant in the spring.

Well, like I said in my first response to your beginning picture, this is quite ambitious. You sure rose to the challenge. Don't believe I've ever seen anything quite like this one. Amazing doesn't even get near this piece. Congratulations. This w/surely win some ribbons. I do hope you show this to a Harley dealership, and some place where bikers hang out. You just might get a lot of business commissions.

Congratulations to both of you on this hard-won and worthwhile achievement. As for not just tooting the horn but bringing in the whole band to celebrate ... ... now, with the healthier lungs, you'll be better able to get into that band. But ... would you find it not helpful to go out on a toot, to celebrate? That kind would be O.K., I guess. ole joyful

Glad you ladies are getting started on Valentines!

You may think the link below (a children's site) is a little 'childish' but many of the ideas can be "gussied up" and used for adult cards... it's all in the materials and skill level used. Anyway, it has great ideas, including pop-ups, one of my favorites!

Hi:

Just posted my Valentine for this year. I prepared a quarter fold valentine on index stock. On the front, I imprinted one row of hearts. Then I put the front on a hoop and embroidered the hedgehogs on my machine. They are really cute.

Aunt Mary, I love your card. Love the design! I just got my embroidery machine a couple of months ago and haven't tried stitching on paper yet.
