Peggy and Lisa, I just re-sent the information to you by e-mail and through GardenWeb. I have no idea why the first mailing didn't reach you. Please let me know when you receive it. If you can mail Tuesday or Wednesday it will be fine. I have surprised myself by working with so many of the arrivals up to this point that I'm hoping I am a little of ahead of where I supposed my schedule might be now. I'm sorry people are having trouble getting the message. Please check your spam folder in case it might be there. I have not gotten the e-mail or GardenWeb information from either of you that you hadn't received my address and the rest of the information so it's not being kind to us. Meanwhile, what great seeds everyone is sending! Many of you have made it very easy for me to distribute the seeds by sending a list or otherwise labeling themes. Thanks so much. All of you are the best! Jeanne

Plantaholics, I'm sorry this didn't turn out the way you had planned. Maybe drippy will be back to do this swap the same way as in the past next time. If you change your mind, we will be happy to have you join in. I have a questionnaire and instruction sheet ready for the participants. I am going to start to e-mail them this evening but not all will get mailed out today. I will continue with them through the weekend, but if you don't have them by Monday (or can't read what is sent - I am sending them as a Word document), get in touch with me. Okay? Once you get everything, follow the instructions and you can start to send seeds whenever you are ready. Hope we all have lots of fun. The nicest people seem to participate in this swap!!! Jeanne

You can get a headboard the same color as the dresser, and match the night stands with it. And based on the photo below, you can use the grays tones instead of the green. dark gray sheets and lighter gray on the walls, with some decoration in wood style. And do the decorations on the blue that she wants, with pillow, a rug, curtains...

Thanks for the great ideas! Funkyart, I totally forgot about that. A neighbour did it when all our kids were younger and it was great for parents and kids. Unfortunately, our yard is too small and chopped up with flower beds to be able to set something like that up :( The cottage is about an hour and a half away. I will have to look into how much it would cost to rent a couple of mini-vans. I just looked quickly and it looks like most seat 7 max. It would work if not everyone can make it. Passenger van would be great, but years ago got a bad rep after some bad accidents, but maybe there are newer, better ones out now? For us, school goes right until the end of June so it would be a week or two before school is officially over. eld6161, I agree completely about doing it b/c it is special to her. I'm tempted to just say no, but I'm really touched that she wants to take everyone. I'm not really close with any of the other parents in her grade and don't feel comfortable asking them to help out. Kind of odd as we are very close with many of my older DDs friend's families. Maybe I should ask anyways. I'm a bit of an introvert and hate asking for help. Most of these kids have homes and yards that are much more extravagant than ours with pools, etc. I kind of wish one of them would just offer to do it at their place, but my DD is sort of the leader/organizer in her grade (how I hatched an extrovert, I'll never know). ETA: robo, i just saw your suggestion and got all excited, but it looks like they start at $215 per hour and would be out of budget :(
