I'd love your big box of goodies - although you can keep the vinca please as my entire front of the house is being taken over by it! I have many different plants to trade if there is anything in my list that interests you. Michelle

You know Kristy I'm not sure Santa thought Barry was good enough to get a little something.LOL (just teasing) But I'm not sure Barry has a chimney. Santa may have to find another way to deliver something to him. No Barry we were not able to get you one of those girls that work at Hooters. We tried but the were all taken. Shoot, I'm not even sure he knows what a Hooters girl is. LOL They may only be in TEXAS. I think if Santa does have something for Barry he may just toss it out of his sleigh as he's flying over on Christmas Eve. Gee, Barry I do hope you get some little something. It's not alot of fun looking in from the outside. The fireplace is so warm and the hot chocolate with marshmellows, and homemade chocolate chip cookies is so yummy.Not to mention all the brugs and seeds that are being shared. Linda, I would dearly love a couple of those pink daffs. I do have a field next door to me of plain old fashion daffs. I have dug up about a truck load and planted them around everything. The neighbor has a field full of them and he doesn't want or like them. So he said I could have all I want. Now doesn't that just figure, someone that has them doesn't want them. He probably has about a 5 acre field of them. The past two years I've gone and dug a bunch up and shared them with other people. You would be surprised how many of them things you can get in a flat rate box. They are buried pretty deep and it's alot of work for an older woman. (grin) But I would dig you some if you wanted me to Linda. Merry Christmas everyone, Love Marian

The flat and matte will appear the same. Thank you Michael. That's exactly what I needed to know. DH and I had a long discussion about this last night. We did some sample areas throughout the house and have lived with them for a few weeks. He surprised me - he definitely wants to go with white ceilings now. I'm so looking forward to painting with the Matte after what I've read here. I figure that will be my reward after all the prep and priming fun. :-) Unless you can get Muralo Satin Flow. It's nicer. I'll ask my dealer if he has it. I have no issue with upgrading here if it gives better wear and is nicer to apply. Fresh Start acrylic primer is one of the best base coatings on the market. Excellent. I know my dealer stocks it in 5 gallon buckets. Thanks again for all your help!
