Funny you should mention this Terri. I've heard from a few others that are also waiting. I thought I would wait until after the Virtual Dinner before announcing the next swap. So look for the announcement the first week of June.

Glad I came back up here to look for replies! Yay! I got the good dirt! :D I had no idea what I was doing. The guy at the co-op recommended this. I knew we were anti-Hyponex and pro co-op mix, but that's all I knew. :) Uh oh...no styrofoam? Bummer. I just did a few, and so easy to poke holes in the bottom. I tried poking holes in the yogurt cup first and split it. Oops. I think a plastic container sounds like a good idea to house everything, drilling holes in the top. Do I also have to make drainage holes in the bottom? I do have a paint pen. It's one of those Deco-Color from Michael's craft store.

Of course, Jackie's 70% is 70%, or 7 inches, more than our "nearly normal" of 10 inches, to date. It all depends on what you are used to :-). I rolled the dice and did a bunch of native, restoration-type plantings in the wilder parts of the garden this late fall, to replace Mediterranean-but-not-native shrubs felled by the drought (CA summers are dryer than European summers by enough to make a difference when there is a drought). They are going "like gangbusters" (archaic, I know) so far and settling in well -- fingers crossed that at least normal rains continue through the spring...

Wonder what a place like that would go for? Thousands I'm sure. One of my good friends was a nurse who lived in London. I visited her. Kinda seedy neighborhood, one shared large bathroom for every apt. on the floor, and the heaters and hot water tank all had coin slots on them where you had to keep feeding them pound coins. After they got married they later moved to a house in the suburbs, and it was about that size for them and the baby. It was a houseparent flat at a small college. They sent me a picture of them bathing the baby in the sink. They finally moved to hubs native Scotland and got a big house and yard near Perth . . . I do remember the apt. as having high ceilings though, very Victorian . . . but it was winter and freezing cold. Big feather bed comforters is what we sat around in. We had to save our coins for doing the dishes!

I'm so ready for a summer swap! I've been keeping my eyes open for swap items and I've seen a bunch of items while out shopping.

I love the fact that we only have three items to stress over. It was a little hard for me in the beginning of the three item swap exchange. I was used to putting a lot of items and thought into my packages. Now, I only have to put a lot of thought into 3 items instead of 10 items. I can spend my allotted budget, for a swap, on nicer items instead of lots of less expensive things.

Am I right to say that if you wrap three items in their own individual dishtowel then you are sending 6 items? The three dishtowels could be sent as one item and then you could send two other items (wrapped in bubble wrap) making a total package of three items. It's so hard to play fair ;-) LOL! I really did have a hard time playing by the rules the first time we had the three item limit. But now I love the limit and challenge of finding the perfect three gifts.

Karen, that is exactly right, just the way you said it. I just posted the sign up thread for the new Summer Swap. I mentioned there that I've received similar comments from others that would like to see everyone stick to the "Three Item" limit.
