Klick~ Yes email me anytime.. You said ou were working on your masters too? I got my MSN 4 years ago and had to write a thesis.. I did it on Woman's knowledge of cardiovascular risk factors.. I won Nurse Investagator of the year.. Pretty cool... I got my final gift today and I thank you very much. It is so cool that you sent that to me I am going up North this summer to look for some Ostrich Fern I guess they are native here. Klick sent me a really cool map lookin thing that has all the plants native to Michigan, and some great smelling lotion and some super gingery altoids.. Thanks Susan~ I sent out your gifts together for 3-4 because I misaddressed week 3 and it came back to me. So 3-4 will be there soon in one box... Laura

Alright, I *think* I have my list updated, but we all know that's a day by day thing! It's kinda like Pokemon- Gotta catch 'em all! LOL! As far as my preferences, I'll be doing the card/seed swap, but not the others. I've found that I prefer RR swaps to true RRs, so I'm not going to do the Pinata. And Vincent and Devin are already involved in a children's birthday swap as well as being very well enabled by various Garden Buddies around here :) I'm not sure how much more their garden beds can hold! Now I just need to get around to updating my trade list of things I have available to trade :) Kathy

Thanks for all your help in locating some cake stands for me! I'm heading into town (Albuquerque) in a minute to check the ones out at Hobby Lobby, Tuesday Morning, KMart and TJ Maxx. Squirrelheaven, yes, Martha has the perfect ones, actually. But, I'd have to order them online and it got a bit too pricey with the s&h. Alohamillion, maybe they carry the Martha stands I love. Thanks! Caniche, as a matter of fact, I bought that very same cake stand at Target last week! It's darling and I like it, but it turned out to be too busy for the Cottageware. DD loves it so I'm keeping it anyway to use for cakes (her b'day is this month) and turned upside down, it makes a cute chip & dip server.
