Taken! Thank you very much!

Karyn...hi, we certainly hope this one doesn't get blown away this time..mind you the last one wasn't expected to either! No, there is no access to the g'h from the garage as this would take up valuable plant space I thought...plus I'd rather look at plants than a door...haha. Lauri, thanks for the email, will have a go at that coffee recipe, yummy! The greenhouse bascically faces south-east, I guess. It gets sun all day except for the last bit in the evening as the sun then disappears to the right of the fir tree you can see in our neighbours garden. The temps inside it have been hovering around 75-80F on sunny days, but we have chilly nights at present and I have some bedding plant seeds sown so the fan heater is on during the night to keep it above 40F. Today, I left the door shut while I went to work, the sun was particularly strong for the time of year and it topped out at 104F!! We have had to ensure plenty of ventilation so have spaces all along the roof line left open both at the front edge and back, but at the moment they are filled with foam rubber else the heat from the fan heater just escapes. Shade cloth is also a necessity even in our climate in the UK!. The garage wall seems to be acting like a giant storage heater as you can feel it's warmth even when the sun has gone. Will keep you posted on it's progress. Regards, Gill.

We had a little party thrown by friends after our private wedding. I did ask that there be a request for no gifts on the invite. We were both in our 40's with three homes between us....and we needed NOTHING lol the thought of new towels in 400 different shades scared me to death :) The request was soemthing to the order of "please share in celebrating this event with us. The couple requests no gifts please, just the pleasure of your company, but if you wish to bring one along, please bring a bottle of wine to share with the couple at a future date in their home" (I don't have one sitting here but that was the gist. We did receive several bottles of wine and shared them with the friends at a later date at different dinners. Our hostess was sweet and put a tag on each bottle with the name of the giver so we could thank them and then know which to bring out in the future. We're wine collectors and most of our friends are as well so it made sense...it might not if you just collect club soda :P

I am the MOB and we made our own invites. First of all we searched the web for free clip art and I copied the one daughter liked and added the Bride and Grooms name under picture. I used microsoft office and got a free wedding template and used it with the font we liked. Also went to e-bay and got paper stock and envelopes that were wonderful. We also used MS office for the reply cards and got perforated matching paper stock and envelopes from the same paperstock company on e-bay. Keep in mind we had never done this before and they came out Wonderful and received many compliments. Also I am not very computer friendly with office or microsoft works but the template they had there was easy to use. I saved everything as I was working so when the final draft came if I messed up I had something to go back too. Printed them and I was surprised that we did not use much ink.(Invites totaled about 100 and reply cards the same).I also sent for a stamper and saved much time for return address. Daughter's wedding is the 26th and we are getting down to the final EVERYTHING.
