We went to Disneyland to celebrate my granddaughters 4th birthday on Saturday. She had a ball.

Disney sure has changed. Last time I went the characters walked around and you just ran up to them (4 yrs ago) now they have a line and a person standing there directing each line. The whole day we only saw 5 characters out and available for autographs and pictures. They also had about 4 characters in the pixar dance studio.

How sad I took my kids to Disney years ago and the characters were everywhere, we had so much fun!! It was a blast! I hate they have turned to doing lines. Some things have to change with time I guess

We took our kids to Disneyworld in 95. Characters all over willing to give a hug and say hi. Snow White even tied my daughters shoe. Now that same daughter goes to Disney every year and tells me about the long lines waiting to meet a character. I'm sure it's a rushed meet and greet as well. I don't get it!!

My package is going out today. Watch your mailbox Shirley. Margo.

All prizes will go out go out when I mail my package.

I have always thought I might try planting in bags skyblue52 but still haven’t . I think they would be great for herbs since you are always harvesting them.

What a nice surprise!

Ladies, my garden has let me down this year, not producing much of anything, but what I picked yesterday was colorful. Here's a picture. The gourd shaped tomatoes are Mint Julep. I haven't figured out what to do with them yet. I tried just slicing one and eating it with salt. Not so good. I've never made fried green tomatoes, but I may look up a recipe and try that.

I just heard on the news that the temperatures will be a lot cooler tomorrow. Hooray!

Jeanne

I just received my package from Susan. Thank you. Can you please identify the herb and succulent for me. (sure smells good have no idea what they are) Im gonna have to open up my garage and grab my cactus soil out. Right now its blocked because I moved my pots in front of it because the kid next door is weeding my yard the last couple of rains have brought back the goat heads. Been stepping on them all week long.

I should have my package to Erica mailed out by monday. Trying to finish up some last minute details. Will update with tracking number when mailed.

Forgot to post my package went out to Shirley Wednesday afternoon. Would guess she'll have it by today or monday. D.C. Is in my purse if needed.

I will be sending out Monday also. Hope everyone has a great weekend!

Margo I received your awesome package and loved it all. You definitely did a great job on this theme.

Jeanne-Congratulations on your win.

If you haven't seen the movie Crazy Rich Asians it is so GOOD.

Shirley, glad you liked it.

They were just just talking about that movie on GoodMorming America and it's supposed to be great. Glad you backed that opinion up.

could they be morgagelifters. yes truly a great tomatoe. my tomatoe tasting picnic was yesterday. Now where else.

Susan -- I haven't forgotten about you. I've just been super busy this month. I'll try to get your pack out in the next couple days. If not then, then Monday at the latest. I'll be sure to post tracking. I'm so sorry for the delay. I'm usually much better at getting things sent early.

i won't be able to post a picture because we are on our way out of town after receiving a call that my bil is in the hospital. He has heart issues and was given 3-5 years to live and that was 3 years ago. We really don't know if this current issue. A be fixed or not. We will find out more.

I did want to list what I received from Amy Amy sent a great package that included,

A cute pot holder dish towel combination. They're stitch together and the pot holder holds shut With a button.

a garden flag with a frog on it. Mine is getting pretty faded so needed a replacement.

A foxtail palm start. Gotta plant as soon as we return tomorrow.

And a wonderful booklet containing the following along with instructions and/or helpful info.

Rainbow chard to sprout

ginger chews

Dancibg with smurfs cherry tomato seeds.

Chocolate smoothie banana mix.

WOW! I can’t wait to share what Shirley sent me. Where to start! She packed so much in a tiny box and the thought put into it was unbelievable. Oooh guess y’all wanna know what it was.. Right?!

AlaMaison Rose lilac soap- smells wonderful - can’t wait to use it.

Crinum and Amaryllis bulbs- doing a happy dance - plants to grow

Moisture therapy lip balm, burn aid cream, aloe Vera , after bite, antiseptic towelette- I can always use this after I come in- seem to always get bit!

Seeds- okra, radishes,carrots,cabbage,kale, parsley, and cabbage- Yum!! My garden will be awesome when planted in spring.

some helpful tips see the picture hope you can read them. And she sent me some canning labels- how did you know how badly I needed these- thank you!! And my favorite thing to make each year - she sent me a bread and butter pickle recipe! I love pickles!

Shirley I can’t thank you enough it is the perfect package. I will be using all of it for sure. Thank you!!!

I think there is only 2 people left to receive their pkgs and that is Susan and Amy. Should get those in a few days it looks like. They both have been sent.

It has been a great but busy month. I hope you all enjoyed it and I hope to host another swap soon.

yes this month went fast. Tammy you were great in tring to keep us interested. Canning and end of summer vacations are coming to an end. the morning glories r loving the cooler mornings. Seed collecting will start soon also.

Thanks to you Tammy for an awesome hosting job. I had fun this month. Margo

Tammy, I love my gifts that you sent. They are all things I could use and enjoy!

Tammy sent soft cozy socks to wear after my epson salt soak (epson salts included). This is funny because I always say my tubby time is my favorite time of day! I could always use gloves and a great spray nozzle, plant tags and a awesome selection of seeds. I love the try erase boards and planting tracker and daytimer sheets included. To top it all off some pretzels to munch

on while I look over all the latest Houzz posts.
Thank you Tammy for all the tips and great goodies. Take care! This was a fun swap. Thank you so much! Amy

Hi Girls I will be posting the new swap tomorrow. Whoops it is the 3rd already. Dahilias finally showing off. Now they r falling to many flowers. .

September swap is up. Morning glory mornings and Sunflower day . Come on over

Love those dahlias.

Erica such a cute idea. She got me the food and wine mag. then tagged recipes and put seeds or plants that went with the recipes. The mojito mint lost some leaves . I popped them in my mouth for an accent to my cold beer. We are in triple digits heat index so the Moser Roth chocolate went right in the fridge.she sent seed baggies, glitter stickers , and pretty note book. Great box from my friend in Cali.

Tammy received my gift for winning BINGO...thank you so much and also loved your theme this month.

I received my gift, too. Thanks so much, Tammy. I love it and thanks for being the hostess here for August.
