She might be thinking she's going to save money by recruiting you.
Ooh, boy - I hope none of those other siblings are inclined to be jealous that you're doing all this work for only one of them! It will be a labor of love, and she'd better appreciate it.
The Aunt thinks it is a wonderful idea and emailed me all the names and birthdates. As for payment, I told her I wouldn't take payment for it. She started to fuss that's why I told her we would talk about it later! If she persists, I will only charge her for the supplies that I had to purchase re: Q-Snap floor frame ($30 on CL) thread and needles.
