Finn Fan Fix
This is a non-Finny Finn Fan Fix!
This is a seedling update!
So…I planted two BioDomes last week – veggies and flowers.
I placed the two BioDomes under the grow light.
16 hours on. 8 hours off.
And then – carefully peeeeered into the domes every day.
Every day….nothing.
Not surprising – a watched seed never grows.
Or…something like that! LOL
But then. THEN! Yesterday…..lookee lookee!!
See ’em?!? Plants! Little plants sticking their little plant-heads up!
According to my careful planting chart – those are marigolds. Which I’m growing to plant in and among my Ancho Magnifico Peppers and my tomatoes.
Happy dance happy dance!
See? Even Finny is thrilled beyond measure!

Great kits! Looking forward to next month too. 🙂 Yay for seedlings…even if Finn wasn’t so excited to see them. 🙂
Me, too! Thanks, Amy. And that IS his excited face!! 😉
I absolutely love everything about the poppy suite!!
Thanks, Patty Jo – that’s a heavy fave!
My favorite in the latest mini catalogue is the So Sentimental Bundle. Pove the sayings and fonts on the stamp set as well as the dies. Debbie Lindauer
Yep – it’s a crowd fave, for sure! Thanks, Debbie! 🙂
So hard to pick just one! But if I have to I would definitely say the So Sentimental bundle…especially the adorb scallops framelits! I use them every day on something…makes a great inside the card panel!!
Yep – that one is WAAAY high on my list, too! Hope hope hoping it carries over. Thanks, Barbara! 🙂
I had to laugh at Finn’s enthusiasm. UM, how do you pick a favorite? Well, I started with From My Heart-I love hearts, then moved to Birthday Bonanza-Love the bright, happy colors-it’s going to be a fun set to play with. I think the Peaceful Poppies set is amazing. (PS: I’m partial to the January PP)
Yes – he’s a gardner at heart! 😉 You’ve got a ton of faves, Sandi. Me, too! 🙂
My favorite from the mini-catalog….that is difficult….so many lovelies in there. I would have to say that my favorite is the FOREVER BLOSSOMS. For someone like me who does NOT have a die cutting machine (nor do I wish to purchase one) the large stamp of the cherry blossom branch is just GORGEOUS! No need to cut it out….it looks incredible stamped on a light pink piece of paper with a sentiment popped up (or directly on the card) for a super quick and lovely card. Or, if you have the time, stamp on white and color it in….also beautiful.
Yes – that’s a gorgeous stamp, for sure! Thanks, Mary!
Hi Mary,
Well, it is hard to pick my favorite product, geez that’s a lot to ask … so many choices !!
After a lot of thought (at least 30 seconds), the Honey Bee Bundle and matching paper in the
Sale-A- Bration is sooo cute. Love the possibilities.
If you had said I could pick something from the annual catalog, it would have been
dimensionals, Right !!!
Hugs,
Robbie
Dimensionals – that’s like…oxygen. EVERYONE loves OXYGEN! Thanks, Robbie! 🙂
Hi Mary, I think my fav is Grace’s Garden; it has me in Spring mode and I love English gardens which it reminds me of. So happy your plants are growin’!
Thanks, Carole! 🙂
I would have to say that the bundles in the new catalog along with the suites are amazing but my favorite thing in the mini catalog is the Peaceful Poppies Suite ! I am smitten with it ! I love it all and I am so glad they didn’t put anything “wooden” with the suite !
Me, too – it’s so pretty! Thanks, Jeanne! 🙂
I like Easter Promise the best. We donate loads of cards and Easter is one of them….and this is a nice simple set to work with…but I think it will make great cards!
Oh yes! That will be a great set to use! Good of you to do this, Pat. Thanks!
As always a very tough decision! I lean toward the Honey Bee bundle. It is such a cute set. I’ve had a lot of fun making cards.
Honey bee honey bee oh honey honey bee!! Love it, too! Thanks, Pam! 🙂
Seeing your little seedlings sprouting excites me!
Honey Bee bundle is my favorite this week!
Tell Finn to try harder at containing his excitement!
Thanks for a chance to win.
Hugs
Yes – he’s nearly beside himself, isn’t he?!? LOL Thanks, Paula – and yes. The Honey Bee is high on my list, too!!
Great kits! Love the poppy suite.
They are! 🙂
I would have to say the peaceful poppies suite. The paper is beautiful. Good luck with your seedlings.
Thanks – fingers crossed for their survival and thriving-ness!! 🙂
I love the Bonanza Buddies Bundle! The animals are so darn cute and I appreciate the extras in the set. The DSP is so fun for a Children’s card, too!
That one IS adorable! Thanks!
I love the Peaceful Poppies Suite. Poppies have always been a big flower favorite for me. Birthday Bananza is a great set too. Love your dogs enthusiasm. We must have missed the jumping around and tail chasing before you snapped that pic.
Yea – by the time I pulled out the camera, he had exhausted himself!! LOL! Love BOTH those sets of goodies, Sandra! 🙂
My goodness! There is so much to like about the new catalog. But I have to admit I love what I see people making with the dressed to impress (the whole she-bang bundle!). Saving my pennies so I can swing buying it! And good luck with your grow boxes!
Thanks, Maryanne! Fingers crossed for veggies and flowers! And yes – that bundle is very fun!! 🙂
My favorite is Golden Honey Bee! Thank you for this generous giveaway!
Yep – that’s one of my favorite’s, too! Thanks, Barb! 🙂
I love all the projects you share. My favorirw new product in mini catalog is the Bee bundle. Thank you for all you do.
Yes – LOVE the bees!! Thanks, Diane! 🙂
There are so many wonderful sets in the mini catalog, but my favorite is the Peaceful Poppies Suite. I love the DSP that goes with it.
That one is really leading the pack! Thanks, Karen! 🙂
There are so many in this little catalog, but I think I’m looking forward to using Grace’s garden alot!
It’s a gorgeous bundle!! Thanks, Carrie! 🙂
I would have to say the poppy set! love those dies! back when we were canning, we would start our own tomatoes and bell peppers, and put out 60 tomato plants because we canned for ourselves, my 2 daughters and 2 different grandchildren. whew, makes me tired to think about it now, lol. thanks for a chance to win!
That’s a LOT of work, Sherry!! But – nice to have all that food in the winter, I know! Thanks so much!
I love the poppies. The stamps, the papers, the die cuts—love them all. Thanks for the chance to win.
Thank you, Kevin! Yes – that’s a heavy fave!! 🙂
There are so many I love! Today, my fav is So Sentimental. If you’d asked me yesterday, it would have been Honey Bee. Who knows what tomorrow will bring! LOL
Usually my fave is the one I’m working with at the time! But – So Sentimental. OH YES!!! LOVE those dies!! Thanks, Angie! 🙂
Love the Honey Bee Bundle and the added bonus of the Golden Honey DSP.
Yes yes yes!! Love this one! Thanks, Yvonne! 🙂
This mini catalog is full of beautiful/fun stamps and dies so how do you choose one favorite? I have always loved poppies so I was excited to see these all over the front of the catalog. This one is my favorite with the tropical suite coming in at a close second. Love all your pics of Finn! He is precious.
LOVE those sets – especially the Tropical Oasis DSP – the colors are gorgeous! Thanks, Sarah! 🙂
As so many have said-it is hard to pick just one favorite from the mini catalog. But, if I must, I will choose Birthday Bonanza. I make quite a few birthday cards during the year for my grands & greats so you have many options for cards. Plus, I think some older folks would enjoy the bright colored critters & papers as well. Good luck on that garden…..we have a few months before we can even think of our garden…….MN! Thanks for a fun blog & Finn’s antics….great inspiration.
I love that set – the little animals are adorable. And so versatile! Yep – you’ve got a minute in MN before it’s gardening time! Thanks, Karen! 🙂
Have a lot of favorites from the mini catalog. My eye initially caught the Positive Thoughts stamp set but had held off ordering it. Now that there will be coordinating dies, it is a MUST!!
Yes yes YES!! You’ll love the set AND the dies!! Thanks!
Good afternoon Mary, I just want to say that I enjoy all your post and love to see what Finn is up to.
I like a lot of the sets in the catalog but one of my favorites is the So Sentimental Bundle. The sentiments are awesome and I think I would use the Stitched Dies a lot.
Oh yes! My fave set of dies! Love them so much! Thanks for the nice words, Pam! 🙂
My favorite thing in the Spring catalog is the Positive Thoughts stamp set. I love how beautiful and subtle it is, and I’m so glad they are going to make dies available for this set!
Have to agree – this is a big fave for me! Thanks, Lynne! 🙂
My favorite in the mini catalog is the From My Heart Suite. Just in time for Valentine’s Day!
It sure is! Thanks, Kristine! 🙂
How about 3 things? Parisian Beauty Bundle, Stitched So Sweetly Dies, and Detailed Hearts Die.
Three works!! 🙂
From Doris Jackson (dorisjackson4@hotmail.com) – I really like the So Sentimental bundle. It has so many uses and will be timeless. Would love to try Paper Pumpkin kit, thanks for the chance to win one.
Absolutely in love with Forever Blossoms!
It’s a beaut, for sure! 🙂
I love the From My Heart Specialty DSP.
Perfect for Valentine’s, isn’t it?! Thanks!
Hard to pick just one but I will go with the Peaceful Poppies. The paper is gorgeous.
Yes – that paper is really stunning! 🙂
I love all things Paris. The Parisian bundle was my first must have.
It’s a beaut! Thanks! 🙂
My favorite in the mini catalog is Bonanza Buddies! Love those animals. Stinkin’ cute!
They are truly adorable! Thanks! 🙂
I love the new Magenta Madness!
It’s pretty!
