A Few Outside Things! For My Birthday PT. #3!

Hey Gang!

Since they were on sale, I purchase a few outside things for my birthday!

First is the My Life fountain!

I had my eyes on this thing for a while! Ever since I saw the one that Vanessa of
Van's Dolls Treasures posted I knew I wanted a fountain.  I still miss her and see her posts!

Here are the items that are in the box!

Ten pieces! The fountain really works.  It has a spot on the bottom for batteries 

to pump the water! And a button to start the fountain. I won't be using that! A 

little too messy.  I will use some kinda plastic to make my water!

The flowers are heading 

straight for St. Malcolm . They get used there!

Love birds?I think I'll paint the 

birds  and the shrubs to make them look more realistic. 

 I can see how everything goes together but the drinks?

They can always be used somewhere! 

The coloring could be more staggered the shrubs!

Next up is Lil Woodzeez Garden set!

What is inside the box!

Unless it becomes a toy  for one of the kids around here, the rabbit will go!

I will add this to my Barbie Millicent Roberts Green Thumb outfit once I find
where I put it!

Here is the garden set! Veggies in the garden plot.  I might need two of these.
Gardening will work well at the longhouse.  They can grow their own food!

 Watering can!

 Basket with tools!

 I thing this will be good for everyone here!

Elan and Naira can show what they learned in school around the longhouse.

 Elan: We can make this home for us!

Elan: I going to ride you around in the wheelbarrow! Lift your feet up!

Naira: It is this type of thing that got you in trouble with the Dean!

Elan: It is also why you thought I was soo cute too!

Naira: Cute but trouble!

OK, Thanks For Looking!

Hard Work And Reward!

Hey Guys,


I’ve just finish with my biggest garden related project of the year yesterday, the Northwest Gardening Association’s Annual Plant Swap! The Swap is a great way for us plant lovers to get new plants without having to pay for them. Each person brings plants (or garden related items) that they would like to swap. They get a ticket and for each item and use those tickets to check out after swapping. You bring 10 you get 10. We also receive donations from local nurseries to pump up the stock of plants. There is normally refreshments, door prizes and raffles too!
The Swap will be ten years old next year! I started it under another organization I belonged to and have moved it to NWGA which I founded. NWGA is three years old, and I am the president of the organization. I hope to do something big for the tenth anniversary of the Swap! I just don’t know what right now. In planting for next year and the upcoming workshops, I hope to start a gardening blog for the organization next week to go along with the tenth year. It will be a place where I will post gardening pictures, info and upcoming events! I will post here and give you a link to the new blog when it is up.

I was there setting up for the Swap that started at 10:00am at 7:00am and I left at 3:00 after clean up after the Swap which ended at 1:00. It was a very long day! I should have went straight home…But no! I was right across from Kohl’s and thought I‘d check to see if maybe he was there! Wow he was there and he is the last one!

They wanted way to much for him!: ( Then I saw the sign that said 20% off. Well, that is a little better. So I got him!

Fashionista Ryan!

My reward for working so hard!

Thanks For Looking!
