I love your trees. They could be scenery around in a little Christmas village.

I don't mind if you post it on Instagram. I really should make an account with them.Amazing, aren't they, Bee? Here's the ones Carol got with the South African theme: https://tortoiseforum.org/threads/cold-dark-room.123941/page-7659#post-1784646
And here's the one I received from Brandy (@Bambam1989 ):

Actually, @Bambam1989 and @Cathie G , would it be all right with you if I shared these on Instagram? I almost did, but then remembered I should ask you first.
(Love your singing, @Bee62 . We have so many talented roommates)
I can't draw either. I'm really happy he received such a fun gift though. The card exchange is inspiring him. He's coming up with some really cute paintings...and doing more paintings then what I ask for. He's really enjoying it.No, thanks to your brother for creating such beautiful pics.I can`t draw !
Hello Ray, Rose, and Opo. Everyone thinks I keep our home like an oven...but it's only 77°in our house. It's 34° outside for heaven's sake. If I come in from outside, I need baked.
I'm so glad you like them. Joe knows by now every painting has to have a bunny and tortoise in it and we have one of each sooo...probably. I love the three cards I've received. I'll post some pictures after i send ours and everyone has received them. I'm going to keepsake every card I get.December 3. My card exchange advent calendar continues with the card from @Cathie G . And it's more than a card.

Inside the card with a beautiful handwriting (which I've already mentioned) are three absolutely mind-blowing prints by Cathie's brother, Joseph:

Are these Sapphire and Razberri in the pictures? I absolutely love them. My husband was very impressed too. Please send Joe our regards, Cathie!
I will have them framed, together with @Bambam1989's picture.
I can't hardly wait.
I too am loving all the cards coming in. I will probably wait and send one big picture after I get them all in. My family loves seeing them too. I am thoroughly enjoying seeing everyone else’s posts though. This time of year really seems to bring out the creativity and (and yes, Mark) hidden talent in the CDR.. just in case any of you were wondering, I don’t have any
It’s still hidden!?
Happy Saint Barbara’s Day. Wifey cooked up “Burbara” - a special grain treat for us to savor this morning.
Eid il-Burbara or Saint Barbara's day is celebrated in Lebanon, Syria, Jordan and Palestine, Israel among Arab Christians annually on December 4. The traditional food for the occasion is Burbara, a bowl of boiled barley, pomegranate seeds, raisins, anise and sugar. Walnuts or almonds can be added. The general belief among Lebanese Christians is that Saint Barbara disguised herself in numerous characters to elude the Romans who were persecuting her.

It is great that he is enjoying it !
Mark, these could work as postcards in the next card exchange.
Just sayin' Do you have an Etsy shop now?
I bet Heather has a ton, but doesn't know which one to choose from. It doesn't have to be something artsy. A gift with animals or with kids is a talent too, for example.

Problem is, it’s a pop-up located at the North Pole.,

December 4. My next card was from Ed, @ZEROPILOT
Thank you, Ed! I had to google a bit about the Gamecocks because I know next to nothing about American football. Interestingly, one of the stamps on the envelope depicted USS Missouri. I went to university in Missouri, which reminded me to check how our Tigers were doing. Apparently they fared just a little better than the Gamecocks.
Wow, I've learned a lot thanks to this card!
P.S. Ed, how's your chameleon?

"We didn't do it, Mom, honest. It was Misty who knocked all the stuff off the coffee table and messed up the afghan on the couch!"
Ice see...
You’re on a slippery slope there....!
It's raining, so I'm stuck in the house. Misty wouldn't go out to take care of her morning ablutions, so I have to watch for 'in between' times and take her out once it stops for a minute or two.
I have some left over ham so I'm going for scalloped potatoes for lunch. I'm getting hungry just thinking about it.
I ordered a bunch of Christmas presents from Amazon and I'm expecting it to be delivered today. I have to keep watching for that too so the boxes don't have to sit in the rain. The Amazon delivery guy normally tosses Amazon boxes over the fence into the desert tortoise yard, instead of dropping them inside the gate like my sign says to. I think I heard that Amazon has hired private partys as their delivery people.
Today would be a good day to take care of house cleaning - NOT!
