Ok.....you lurkers still have over 24 hours to sign up!!! You know you want to!!! FYI~Brooke(my 3 year old) will be drawing the picking order. Wonder who will start us off with the basket stealing on Mon morning? Look for a new thread posting the baskets in one post on Mon too. So what's ya'lls big plans for Mother's Day? My day will be kitchen duty free. Hoping to spend time in the gardens also. Anyone else a Home Depot Garden Member? They emailed me a buy 1 get 1 free rose bush coupon. Plus they are on sale this weekend too. They may not have a pedigree,but they still smell good!! Amanda~Snow!! Hard to imagine...it's still 78 or more out there right now. Carmen~ good to see ya. Hope everything improves for your family. Picnic Packers: Linda Dan Chellflower Vina April later....April

Carol, I am sorry but you are taking this too far. Please just move past the bitterness and lets all have fun, after all this is a social swap. Look up the meaning of social. We are all just here to enjoy each others fellowship and friendship. This has put a damper on everything concerning this group. Please just move on and enjoy this wonderful group like we are all doing. There are two GREAT swaps going on so lets just all do like Sue and put things past where they belong... in the past. Susie this swap is awesome, I love reading about all the awesome baskets!!! I wish I could be a fly on the wall when everyone receives their picnics, that would be sooo much fun!!! Pixie

Punk, these talented gals here have taught me so much when it comes to creating tablescapes. The best thing I've learned is to shop Goodwill and places like Marshalls for bargains.That, and almost anything can be the start of a fun table centerpiece! I hardly ever buy a full set of dishes, though. Salad or dinner plates are easier to use . . . and store! DD: I wish you lived closer, too! I wish you all did, as it would be such fun to get together for shopping excursions and for some meals, too! Betty: More pinecone plates? Oooooh . . . that sounds tempting, but I think I'm at my limit with those. Thanks so much, though. Your kind offer means a lot! And yes, please do keep an eye out for more pieces of that other set. I'd love to get some of those dishes. As for my furkids, yes they do seem to like to pose for pics. They're both sweeties and I love them. Despite the bad rap dobies get, they are the sweetest, cuddly dogs. Ronin would like nothing better than to sit on our laps and sleep in our beds. We don't go that far, though! We dobie owners call them "Velcro dogs" because they always want to stay close enough to be touching you. Lynn
