Please Read! Re Toomuchglass' Garden Junktion!!!

I have an idea.

1. Some folks who got "blank" houses from Kathy/Toomuchglass have been unable to complete them. Things happen, we all know, we have all been there. I'm sure everyone has good reasons.

2. There are people who wanted to make a house but got in on the project too late. And there may be some people, like me, who would like to make another one.

I want to match people from group one with people from group two, using this thread. People who want to make a house for Kathy (group 2) will post here. People with a "blank" (group 1) will email that person to get their address and then mail their blank to them within a few days Either or both people can email Toomuchglass to tell her about the arrangement. And the person who wants to make a house will post here then, saying that she has a house coming so no one else will email her.

By the way I ran this idea by Kathy and she said good except that she wanted to be sure everyone knows its never too late for anyone who wants to keep on working on their house!

So if you want to make a Garden Junktion house, post in this thread that you do, and be sure that your gw page has email. If you have a "blank" and have realized that you just aren't going to be able to get to it anytime soon, please send it on!

So here it goes: I would like a blank house to make. So someone please email me and I will send you my address so that you can send me your blank. (If more than one person emails me I will have to ask the others to check back here for someone else who wants a house.)

This is a great idea! It will give others a chance to do a house. And it will allow those who haven't been able to do theirs to pass it on so that it can become a Junktion House.

Mine is almost finished. Been quite a journey, and will share pics soon. I'm hoping to redeem myself, and after that I'd like to do another one! I already have my idea going :-)

Yes I'm serious, I've had a ball with this project. Even enlisted Hubby's help. Will be sending to Kathy/TMG very soon.

The other good thing about it is that I had to finally get more organized in my basement in order to reclaim my craft area, That part was not fun lol.

Thanks Kathy/Primrose for this great idea! Kathy/TMG will receive even more cool real estate for Junktionville from some of GJ's talented crafters! Good save for the project. ~tenderlee

I'm not a lawyer, but I am pretty sure that you can't be convicted of a felony w/o due process. Fines are another matter. But reading the laws I did not see what you did, for example I saw a gov't agency being given the responsibility to find/prosecute violators not for them to also be judge/jury. Are you upset over the specific banned plants or the idea of a secret plant police? I guess I don't understand, maybe you're a darwinian... personally I would take a shovel to my favorite plants right now if I knew that they could cause a dramatic negative effect to our ecosystem. In bill 211 they state as follows: (d) "Introduce", with reference to an organism, means to stock, place, plant, release or allow the release of the organism in this state at any specific location where the organism is not already naturalized. So I don't think grandma will be going to jail for the ash in her front lawn. I do think there are wording problems esp when it comes to previous possession of a plant newly banned- but that it the first draft to the proposed amendments so I'll keep an eye open and see what happens to language a couple of comittee reports from now.

How to tell 2 nice neighbors....we're selling....please read.

We moved from a VERY small community of about 100 in December. We weren't looking either, but a realtor friend that knew our tastes called with "the perfect house" - we looked, we bought. We planned to break the news to everyone when we put the house on the market figuring it would take a few months to sell & we'd still be in & out while we worked on the new house. However, we sold it to the first person we told (not neighbors) & they wanted to close on December 15 - we had 2 weeks to prep the new, fix the old, move, etc. & we were keeping such odd hours that we never ran into anyone to tell them. All of them were nice, great neighbors, but we didn't "hang out" with any of them. They are probably mad at us or feel offended that we "up & left" but it was unavoidable. We never dreamed it would happen so fast!

Kathy,

I would LOVE to make one for Kathy/toomuchglass! I never jumped on the band wagon originally so I was never sent one. Anyone who cannot make theirs I'll gladly receive! Just email mail person whoever you are that cannot make one and I'll take over. Looking forward to this!

Love, Jules

I'm so sorry it has taken me sooooo long with the house. I really do have it almost finished! Things around here have been crazy, as you all know. I promise it will get finished and be on it's way very soon. I just need to find the red paint for the finishing touches. I know I bought it but for some reason I didn't put it with the house when I walked in the door!

Hi gang. If anyone out there wants to send me a house, please e-mail me. I'll gladly help out someone. Sometimes situations pop up can make our lives a little topsy turvy. Folks, we all understand these sort of things. If this happened to you, hey we do understand.
