Just regular Rice Krispies here and no Poinsettias either as sometimes my cats like to chew on my plants.

Gotta keep those sweeties safe! I remember my cats used to munch my asparagus fern down to the nubs. I had to keep it on the landing outside the apartment.

We'll have a new little girlie under the tree this next Christmas. I've already found some lovely outfits at the Carter's/OshGosh clearance. I have to be careful not to spoil. She will have 2 step-siblings who are always hard to buy for. Have to keep them in mind too. (But ooohh - it's so tempting!)

Went to a flower arranging workshop this past Christmas, while poinsettias are poisonous they are far from fatal to animals. The pet would have to eat a whole lot to be sick. Usually a bite is enough deterrent and won't harm...according to the myth debunking florist. I did the workshop two years in a row with two different leaders and both said the same thing.

Good to know, thanks for the info but I would rather be safe than sorry. You haven't seen my plants when they feel like making a meal out of them.

it's easy to get carried away when in the baby clothes section @avoncallingu boys are always harder to shop for especially from ages 9+ (sigh) up to that age anything lego is fine

@macw1960 thanks for the reminder about the $50 shopping channel code, I have been contemplating what to purchase and finally put my order in this evening, I had to call as it showed the whole amount charged to my cc but he told me just the shipping & taxes like my printout showed so now I wait. My dad is forever filing his feet and soaking them in some concoction he found on Pinterest (lol) so I ordered him a foot grinder (lol) I can't think of the name but he will sure appreciate the gift as it's something he would never purchase especially at $39.99 + taxes etc.....
