Dearest
Gardeners:
"A
Merry Mirtha Christmas"
Ho,
Ho, Ho and jingle my bells! It’s time for the Mirtha
Stuwort Special Christmas Page!
Fa
la la la la – la la la la! Well enough of my singing,
let’s get to work making treats for Christmas…
Decorations,
gifts from your kitchen, presents…. Where shall I start?
Let’s do some decorating shall we?

Decorations
Have one of your
assistants go into your private woodlot and cut your very own Dogless
Fur Christmas tree, like the one I'm climbing above! (Hover
your cursor over my picture to see the finished tree!) If it's too
tall, don’t worry! Just cut it to the proper height. But,
keep the leftover branches to decorate your fireplace mantle. Use
fallen pinecones, acorns, chestnuts to accent the mantle. You
could either spray paint them or dip in glue and glitter for a festive
arrangement.
If you were
really crafty like my friend Robin
of OGG, you could even fashion
a beautiful wreath made from dried and preserved items. One of
Robin's lovely wreaths is tucked in behind the fireplace above!
Gifts
From the Kitchen
Did you know that the
Garden Gang’s recipes originally came from me? Yes it’s
true! Try some of these
wonderful treats! Make my purrfect Pepper
Relish
Take one of your
preserves that you canned at harvest time (like the ones nestled behind
my pepper relish below) and cover with a hand-crocheted lace or
pretty fabric circle. Tie a raffia or ribbon bow around the
jar. You can make a gift tag from last year’s Christmas
cards. This way you can save some money and then spend it on the
latest Mirtha Stuwort magazine.

Presents ON
the Tree!
Now did
you remember to harvest your seeds at the end of the season? Good
for you! Think of the not-so-good gardeners on your list.
Wouldn’t they like some special seeds from your garden? Of
course they would! Pick some of your favorites and put them in
envelopes decorated by a Christmas stencil or a potato print! Just
like you did in school with a cut-up potato and some paint.
Now I’m
not one for spreading rumors but I’ve heard from a reliable source –
that instead of ornaments, Debbie The Seed Queen hangs packages of
seeds on her Christmas tree! LOL!!!
YOUR
Christmas Present!
And for
that very special present that YOU deserve, point your hubby here to get
you my perfect Mirtha Kitchenbot - for a mere $9999.99!! There's a
close up behind the full size bot.
I hope
these tips have helped you plan a perfect Mirtha Stuwort Christmas, oops
