Marlene and Ramona, those are pictures I've found of others fairy gardens. I only wish I'd created all those neat vignettes. I have one on my back porch, and another one under a bush in the back yard is all. Mine are in my main album showing all my yard. hugs, Karen

Most of these varieties come from my local Cactus & Succulent Society meetings, once a month. Three of those pictured, I did NOT get there. (S. trifaciata 'Larentii', S.t. birdnest, and S. trifaciata plain.) That tells you alot about where these are available. And the Best part of local meetings and membership selling to you; you do not pay 'fair market value' based on what suppliers think their time is worth, but rather on a person who wishes his effort & time end product go to a good home where it will be appreciated!!! Thank you for your kind comments. I am now on a search for two recent sightings of Sans, Lemon Lime, and another posted here for ID. On the scent now!

Luvs, as you know, my Too Long to Do List has taken on gigantic proportions and become the blob like in those horror movies, who swallow people and towns. LOL. I want to make so many things, tho heaven knows where I'd put here any of it. LOL. But I just can't stop myself from finding and saving neat photos and ideas. I'd probably actually get more made if I stayed the heck off here! Kathleen, I also am so NOT ready for Christmas. I LOVE Fall and want it to last. Just seems when I can't sleep and go looking for decor pix, not that much comes up for Fall, or I already have them in our album. Darn. That's sad some of your friends stopped decorating, tho I did that a couple times years ago. Right after Jason was burned and my Mom died. 2001 and 2002 were emotionally draining, and I just had no heart for it at the time. Seemed like no one came over, my DH doesn't care one way or the other, and it was a lot to work just to entertain the cats. LOL. But now my mind set is much better, and I'd do it no matter what I think, simply because it makes ME feel good and happy to see. Again, I owe a lot of that decorating mind-set to THIS Forum. Its fun to decorate now for ALL the holidays, instead of just Christmas. I keep remembering this came about ALL because of stumbling across Judith's stacked plates!!! Funny how 3 little cake plates could change one's life so much! Everyone here really has added a lot to my life, and opened up my little world. Being housebound quite often with the Fibromyalgia, it means more than you know to have all of you. I never dreamed I could have so much fun with my Invisible Friends (at least not since I was about about 5). LOL hugs, Karen

Wow, PM...those additions are cool! Had to copy a couple of those new 'trees' to my PBkt for 'future projects.' LOL! Of course, you know I would LOVE that Woodland tree! Mantles are drop-dead gorgeous, too! TFS! Jeanne S.
