Same to you Jenny! Have a great holiday!
Merry Christmas Jenny!
(Great photo, did you make that?)
Have a wonderful Holiday! (and I agree with Shirley...nice photo)
thanks be to you also.
Beautiful greeting "card." What a clever idea.
Happy Holidays to all of you, too!
Same to you, Jenny (the "rose" grower) and David (the rock hauling machine)! Feliz navidad, as Mr Feliciano once sang...
...and to you as well.
Shirley Yes, It is dried oregano and chile pequin berries on wax paper. I had dried the oregano, rubbed it free of the stalks on the wax paper and was funneling it into a jar. It formed the triangle which reminded me of a Christmas tree. I made the stem with my fingers I went outside and picked some chiles, and there you have it. I perfect Christmas tree for a gardener.
You are always so creative! Why am I not surprised that you made this from scratch. The wax paper looked like snow before I read what it was made of. A gardener's Christmas card...in 3-D. Cool!
Merry Christmas!
David/:-)
Great 'tree'.
Merry Christmas to you and your family.
Stay warm...
Merry Christmas to you and yours too, Jenny! Hope your holiday is joy filled ;)
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year backatcha! Enjoy!
What a clever Christmas image! A merry holiday to you too -- enjoy!
Merry Christmas to you and your family!!!
xoxo- Julie
I hope the day has been filled with love and celebration. xogail
I like that - I guessed sage and tiny tomatoes! Just goes to show how little I know about herbs :)
Hope you are having a blessed Christmas season.
Best Wishes for the New Year!
Lea
An image very aromatic!
Merry Christmas!
It might be too late, but just wanted to stop by and admire...
Love the image!!!
