Wow! 20 people have responded back so far, saying they received the name of their Summer Junk Jamboree people! That's quick as it's the weekend and everyone is so busy. Thank you! Only 8 to go, If you haven't responded or received your person's name, check your Spam folder on your computer. Tanya (aka Goldenpond) discovered our message in her Spam folder...and I don't even like Spam! LOL Happy JUNKING!!!!!! Gardyloo! Bear Hugs! Kirk

Got mine...Thank you guys for your hard work...

Only 2 people left to respond that they received their names. That's so great...and so quick! Thank you everyone! Carol and I are already plotting our gifts! The junking part of the exchange is the FUN part! GARDYLOO! Bear Hugs! Kirk

Wow! We've heard back from everyone...sort of. We have just one person who is experiencing a gliche.

Huntermom, we received your e-mail saying you haven't received your person. We sent out 3 e-mails to you from our home e-mail address. You might check your Spam and Junk folders again. I just sent you an e-mail from my work address and one from our free Yahoo account that we use for Freecycle. Hope you get it. If not, we'll snail mail you your person like last time. :o) We wanted to send you an e-mail through Gardenweb but you don't have an e-mail link on your home page. Thanks for your patience. You'll get your Summer Junk Exchange person soon...one way or the other! GARDYLOO! :o)

Thanks to EVERYONE for responding to our e-mail so quick! I am dying to know WHO has my name! Bear Hugs! Kirk

Huntermom, I snail-mailed your Summer Junk Jamboree person to you this evening. Post on the forum when you get my letter. :o) Gardyloo! Bear Hugs! Kirk

Yahoooo, here we go. I got my name and already have a good start to my junk. can't wait to get some more and send out.

Just wondering if anyone has sent their Summer Junk Jamboree gift yet?

I found the perfect piece of good junk for my GJ Recipient, and plan on mailing it sometime next week if that's not too early.

I think I'll wrap it, just in case he/she wants to keep it a surprise for a while.

Plus there's a couple of other things I've been meaning to box up and mail ;-)

Gardyloo! ~tenderlee

I have all the stuff ---- gonna work on it tonight .
****** Evil Laugh ******** I KNOW my exchange pal will LOVE THIS !!!!!

Oh, I'm having WAY too much fun shopping GS's & TS's...lookin' and findin'some great GJ that my SJJ recipient will like in her gardens!

Did Huntermom get her snailmail? Haven't heard if the JT arrived at her place??? The SJJ hunting reminds me of the JT...such fun! It's almost June already ...so looks like pkgs. can go out anytime! Thanks, KIrk & Carol! Jeanne S.

I too have tried to be patient in mailing mine. Have had things ready for a month now. Will try to wait for one more month.

Kat

I thought I wasn't suppose to mail mine till closer to July?
Since its not "officially" summer yet. LOL.

hugs, Karen

Ahhh, you're right, purplemoon...I just went back and re-read the guidelines! I hate it that our "search box" is not working anymore! Jeanne (guess I'll have to wait at least a couple more wks. now that it is June) Anyway, here it is: I copy & pasted Kirk & Carol's posting ................................................................................................................

GARDYLOO! (As Susiewantsroses says, that expression means a cry formerly used in Scotland to warn pedestrians when 'slops' were about to be thrown from an upstairs window. Modern translation - YOO-HOO, I'm throwing my "junk" out. Here it comes!!!!) For those who wish, this can be our summer gift exchange greeting!
Its time to gear up for our Garden Junk summer gift exchange, THE SUMMER JUNK JAMBOREE (winning title by toomuchglass)! My wife Carol and I organized the Garden Junk Secret Santa Exchange for the past two years and are organizing this summer exchange as well. WonÂt it be fun to receive a gift from a Junking friend to use right away in your gardens? If you would like to join in on the FUN, please be COMMITTED to the following guidelines:

1. In order to participate in the Garden Junk Secret Santa Exchange, you MUST be someone who has posted on the Garden Junk forum in the past or currently.

2. Then, go to MY PAGE (above) and send us an e-mail by Friday, May 1st. (PLEASE NO LATE PARTICIPANTS.) Include the following information in the e-mail you send to us:

a. "SUMMER JUNK JAMBOREE" in the subject line of the e-mail you send to us.
b. Your Garden Web name
c. Your name and address
d. The e-mail address where we can e-mail you the person for whom you are to buy a gift for.
e. State your Garden Junk Tastes: For example: rustic treasuresÂ

(Please know that being a teacher, I understand the importance of being confidential and will share your information with no one.)

3. Find a garden "treasure" from a garage sale, thrift store, etc. for a Garden Junk friend. Spend $10 OR LESS on the item. (DonÂt feel like you have to spend $10. Garden Web junkers have been known to find free items! It might also be a treasure that you have around the house which you intended to put to good use but never have!) If you feel crafty, you could even make something! Wrap the item if you choose and send it to the personÂs name you receive.

4. Be COMMITTED to mail the item by Wednesday, July 1st. ALL PRESENTS SHOULD BE RECEIVED BY WEDNESDAY, JULY 15th.

5. THIS IS A VERY IMPORTANT COMMITMENTÂ Now raise your right hand and repeat after us, "I PROMISE to post a picture and/or thank you on the CONVERSATIONS side of the forum once I open my gift." WeÂll start a post on July 1st where people can post pictures and/or thank youÂs. Unlike the Secret Santa Exchange, you may open your gift whenever you receive it so you can enjoy it right away in your gardens! :o)

We canÂt wait to start hearing from people! We will be e-mailing out Summer Junk Jamboree names the first week of May! You will be receiving a personÂs name and address at that time. That will give you 2 months to find the perfect gift! DoesnÂt this sound like fun?

GARDYLOO! Bear Hugs! Kirk and Carol

P.S. If you are willing to send a gift to another country, please let us know in your e-mail.

Being that our limit was $10 I've been finding some really cool stuff and the thrift stores........and am still UNDER the amount. So, whomever you are "my SECRET JUNK JAMBOREE person" know that you will be getting many items. It's so much fun to look AND find that perfect lil somethings for my person.
GARDYLOO!
Love, Jules

Just confirming I got my GardyLoo trading pal and it exciting to know that I hopefully can make her wish come true!
