Name the Summer Gift Exchange! Win a Prize!!

Hi everyone! I'm so glad people are interested in doing a "Christmas in July" junk exchange! People have started to share ideas for a name for the exchange! Since this is "our forum", I thought we should have a contest to name the "Christmas in July" exchange! THE WINNER WILL RECEIVE A BOX OF JUNK TREASURES FROM ME! (The box will be filled with all of those things I've collected for a project but never got around to! Lots of rustic, woodsy, glass treasures! You know what I'm talking about if you collect for projects!)

So...go up to MY PAGE and e-mail me a name for the summer exchange. (Post in the title of your e-mail: "Christmas in July" so my family doesn't delete the e-mail! :o) YOU HAVE UNTIL MARCH 13th TO DO SO.

I'll then post the different ideas on the forum and people can e-mail me their votes at that time. (Like I tell my fourth graders, you won't be able to vote for your own...)

Thanks for going along with me in my CRAZINESS! It'll be fun, and I'll get to share some of my junking treasures with someone! I do ask that you be a regular poster on the forum. If you're a lurker, start posting! :o)

Start thinking of a good name for our summer gift exchange!

Bear Hugs! Kirk

    Woo hoo! We now have 12 entries in the summer gift exchange name contest! 5 more names came to our e-mail in the last 5 minutes! (I have a feeling it has something to do with GardenWeb having had trouble with their e-mail system. Seems to be working now!) Boy, these names are ALL great! It's going to be so much FUN to have the contest!

    Remember, you have until March 13th to submit a name! Then, we'll have a vote! (The winner gets a junk treasure box from me...your own personal Junk Train to keep! LOL) Thanks to those who entered so far! You're all so dog-gone creative...not only in garden junk but with your words! Keep the names coming! Bear Hugs! Kirk

    Kirk is absolutely the best. He never seems to run out of ideas for things to do and fun ways to do them. Aren't we so lucky to have him!

    Bumping this up as this Friday the 13th is the deadline to enter a name for our Summer Junk Exchange! Who will win a box of junk (treasures) from ME?! :o) If you haven't entered yet and you are a regular poster on the forum, enter the contest! I'll post the names entered on the 14th, and we'll have 2 weeks (until March 27th) to vote with the winner announced on the 28th. It'll be FUN!!! Bear Hugs! Kirk
