Lots of work but you are very blessed to have such a wonderful garden. It is quite sad to see the flowers bowed down to father Winter. However, seeing snow on roses has its own magical appeal. I think it just makes those of us who have winters more appreciative of the growing season. There is nothing like seeing the snow melt and your roses growing and blooming. It is magical and quite an honour to see nature's handiwork.

Oh!!!! I understand. Thanks Hazelnut! These swaps are fun huh? *****Laurie's List****** I LOVE fairies...my garden theme is fairies. Oh heck...I have them everywhere...I admit it. Unicorns Windchimes Scented candles or fragrance oils I love all plants but I like growing bulbs. And plants with "Fairy" in the name. :o) I collect sharpies and pens I have 2 dogs and 2 cats I like heart stickers scrapbook stuff My favorite color is "Autumn" I like fruity bath stuff, body sprays, lip gloss, fingernail polish, fingernail stickers, etc. I also like garden stakes It's hard picking my brain at the spur of the moment. :oP Rosie, I will send you my address soon. Thanks! This is a neat idea!!! Laurie

Thanks, Fori, for your suggestions. Sorry, took me so long to respond to your comment. I did check out the other forum as well. So far no specific plans for this particular shed. Still kicking different ideas around. At the same time don't want it too rustic for the house/neighborhood. Did find one recently on Houzz that we might be interested in duplicating as well with a few changes (attached photo for anyone's interest). We'll see. But thanks again for your input.

>>But tox, you'd need a heck of a lot more chalk than just some leftover bits from a classroom to make any meaningful contribution!! Probably by an order of several 100 times! Well how should I know how many classrooms and bits of chalk they have?! LOL
