Very nice job Karen!

This is exactly what we needed. I have it bookmarked and I will be spending a lot of time here enjoying the talent and beauty of our fellow garden junkers.

This is a big job to take on, and I would like to thank you for taking the time to set it up for us. It is just great, and thanks so much!

Karen, that is an amazing album and I know it took you a long time to get it done this far! I for one applaud you for all the time and effort you put into it. I have bookmarked it and want to go through it again in case I missed something! LOL I look forward to more of the same, whenever you have the time to add to it. Thanks so much.

We have some things posted on FAQs remember, right here on this site. And I think there is a photo albumn. Thanks for doing this.

I'll be adding more today, tonight, tomorrow, etc.

This is a labor of love, and I'm enjoying seeing all the photos together in a real album to easily see myself. The creativity by you Junkers is simply amazing!

If you have something you'd like me to add to the album, let me know. I want to include everyone I can.

hugs, Karen

You are also simply amazing!! Thank you again for doing this!!! I started to look at them this morning. I eat my cereal every moning and check in here at the same time just to see if there is anything new. I was soo busy looking at the album I was almost late for work... and didn't even get through them all. There are alot of pictures that are new to me... and some I had forgotten about...love them all.

Thanks Karen for all your hard work! It is awesome! Don't forget one of my favorites, cheribelle's satelite dish gazebo.

AWESOME, Purplemoon! The "inspiration album" is WONDERFUL! Thanks for all your work. I've copy & pasted my Photobucket web address below...hope it works for you. Jeanne S.

Ok, Purplemoon, that didn't work...I pasted my web address in the "optional link url" below on the former message. How do I fix this? Jeanne S. http://s243.photobucket.com/albums/ff220/jeannespines/

Luna, that gazebo is one of my very favorites too. Not sure how I missed it during my recent search. Brain overload or old blonde. LOL.
Linda, your name is on your stone lady. thanks.
Jeanne, you have to name your link in the box below the optional link for it to be clickable.
Twomonths, I HAD forgotten to check Faqs. So did that and snagged some pix. Not sure who did some of the bowling balls tho, so hope to get names to put with them later.

Bright, guess you could tell your boss your Phx buddy made you late for work, LOL.
hugs, Karen

Ok, Purplemoon, here goes! Jeanne S.

Latest update...Album has 14 pgs and 266 photos in it now.
I am a little over halfway thru members personal albums, think there's about 22 more to browse thru.
Taking a break for tonight, LOL, think my eyes are crossing.
I plan for this album to be permanent on Photobucket, barring any unforeseen problem with them. However, please save any special pictures you want too.

hugs, Karen

WoooooHooooo. I just finished the last uploads, and we now have 300 photos, 15 pages! I'm so excited about this, LOL.
I am "done" so to speak as far as the old posts, Faqs, and members albums who's links were posted previously. Only one little glitch, there are half a dozen photos in Tootiet's album I would love to use but her's say copywrite on them. So I've tried emailing her and asked for permission, hope I get it.

The album will never be DONE tho, as I'll continue adding photos from upcoming posts. Or any photos you guys suggest should go in there. But I'm so happy to have the bulk of it done for you now. I'll probably be going there a lot myself for all the eye-candy, and to get ideas for my Too Long To Do List again.

hugs, Karen {{gwi:76799}}

You have done a marvelous job!
Thanks a bunch.
If you find anything on mine you are welcome to use it.

Wow, that album is fabulous... I just looked at all the wonderful creative projects everyone did. I have been trying to cover all the topics out there (67 pages of them) and I only got so far. But I'm still trying. I want to see everything. This album makes it so much easier. Its like one stop shopping. You did a fantastic job. It shows you love creativity and you want to share it with everyone:)

Thank you Karen
I am a new junkie, and never knew such a world existed. I am now retired and wanted some projects that both me and my husband could do together. I'd say this about takes care of it lol. I can't imagine the time it must have taken you. This is certainly a labor of love. And I am definately loving it. It has also inspired me to tap into my own ideas, which I will post over this summer. Thanky thanky thanky!
Diana

gardengirl, I totally understand about going thru all 67 pgs of posts. LOL. All I can say is its a good thing I don't sleep well at night, I had plenty of time to read them over 2 nights.

Diana, I am glad to have you join in. I didn't know this world existed either till I stumbled on this forum a few years ago. I just figured I was weird to like garden junk.
LOL It was great to find out I'm a groupie and not alone!!
There's so darn much inspiration on this forum, that we'd all have to live to be 200 to do the projects we want. I think everyone one of us now has a Too Long to Do List.
Mine sure exploded when I found this forum.
But I don't think anyone could browse OUR album and not feel inspired to do something from it.

As for all the compliments and thank yous....well you guys are going to make my head swell right up. I'm so happy all of you feel the way you do about the album. And glad I'm not the only photo junkie, LOL.
By the way, unless I add a batch of photos at once, I probably won't post updates. So its up to you to keep checking to see if any new pix there. 311 as of right now.
The link might have to be reposted occasionally for upcoming new members to see too.

thanks to all of you for your photo contributions, and being part of this great Forum in the first place.
hugs, Karen

Karen, What an incredible work of love! An inspirational album of creative work by creative people. I could spend hours looking at this album...and I know I will! Karen, thank you for your time and talents in putting this all together! You are such a special person! Bear Hugs! Kirk

Karen you are one AWSOME person. With all the personal stuff you have going on you made this wonderful album for us to drool over. I have been there several times already. I have added it to my favs for future ref. Thank you very much for taking the time and energy to do this wonderful album.

Karen, I haven't been on GJ in a few weeks, so I was very excited by this post. You're an angel to do this for all of us junkers! It's just wonderful to have so many great pictures to go over again and again! Thank you so much for doing this, and I am very honored that you used some of mine. There are so many talented people that I draw inspiration from every time I visit here!

wow that is great!!!! I really enjoyed the pictures!!!

KAREN -- YOU ARE AWESOME . It's hard work . Take a break when you feel you need it . It's YOUR project - do it at your own speed and don't feel guilty about it . Don't EVER apologize ......... we should be thanking you . Please .... relax and don't feel pressured . It's nothing that HAS to be done instantly ... you & your happiness comes first ! I'm sure I Speak for everyone ....
(((((((((((((( Karen )))))))))))))))

I have to bump this back to the top of Page 1 on the forum! It's such an inspirational album! Thanks again, Karen! Bear Hugs! Kirk

Thanks Karen. I enjoyed looking at your album---especially fun when I saw my "garden gate" picture!

Maggie

Thank You Karen,i've bookmarked it so i have something to look at while i recovery from my "Total Knee replacement" later this month.
Kathi

Kathi, hope it helps distract you during your recovery time.
And prayers for that to be swift and smooth. Just think of all the things you can plan to make before trying out your new knee!
And remember everyone, its not "my" album...its OURS!

hugs, Karen

What an incredible find - both in you, Karen, as well as in what you have done!!!!!!

oh....my. Now I'm crying. But happy tears. Thank you, wanna. I sure needed a pick-me-up badly this morning, and your words came at a good time.
The GJ gang always knows how to help no matter what the problem is it seems.

hugs, Karen

(((Karen))) Whatever any of us can do to put a lift in your step, it is small repayment. As I was getting caught up, after a LONG hiatus, I was reading about your son. Oh my - and especially because I remembered seeing his story on TV. My dear, lady, what pathways your feet and your the feet of your loved ones have been over.

Hi Karen,

Here is the link to my photobucket album. My photos are in the "Garden Pictures" link.

Thanks for the inspiration album - it certainly is an inspiration and so are you. Great job!!

Sherril, I'd put the great old rusty trike in the album before, but just added your horseshoe Bee. That's so cute.
Wanna, I always appreciate the kind words about Jason, he's my hero. I went to your My Page and found your home site, really enjoyed "meeting" you!

hugs, Karen

Karen you can see my garden junk pictures here.

Use anything you want. Thank you for doing this.

did the link change? it says album not found...

Bummer, I get the same thing... :(

The updated link has been put in several other posts, but guess I need to put in this one too. When I changed the album to a bunch of sub albums, it broke the old link. So here is the one that works now.
