#5 cracked me up....I hadn't noticed but now you mention it,
LOL. I have to agree with all your thoughts, thanks for posting. Hope you can spend more time here with us soon.

hugs, Karen

I have learned that garden junkers are amazing people - not just in their creativity but in their kindness and compassion. It must have something to do with seeing something that no one else wants, that has maybe been thrown away, and having the heart to create something magnificent out of it. Almost like doing it to honor those things that have been discarded and thought useless. It seems as if garden junkers also feel that way about human beings and animals too.

I have learned that the GJers' Forum is very ADDICTIVE!!! I have to check it every day (sometimes several times) if I'm on a break here at home and near a computer!

I now have more of an understanding with young people on how easy it is to make friends and give away personal information on the computer...when you don't ACTUALLY KNOW who you are talking to. Working in the library with children & teens, I always stressed the importance of NOT giving personal info. on the Internet. This still is a good thing...but NOW I can empathsize. :-) (Ahh, did I now just add some more personal info about myself! Ugh)

GJers' on this forum are AWESOME! But, I'm not going to talk politics!...there's enough of that all around for this election year! Thanks! Jeanne S.

I think GJ appreciate the "old" stuff & hate to see it disappear. We may remember it at GP's house. Newer stuff- sure would hate to see landfills fill up. Excuses, excuses, let's just "junk" Most everything deserves a fresh start. I got an email today that was comparing us to rest of world. There was person with flip-flops on they were recycled soda bottles. The mouth of bottle was ahead of their toes, rags held them on like our flipflop's. Amazing & would keep hot dirt from burning the feet! Never doubt the ingenuity of humans!! Sorry if that is a downer but I smiled when I saw it & then almost cried. Jan PS I think the shoes worked quite well!

Kathy, your new "knowledge" is so funny!!!(but,true!)
Yep, I think you hit #5 on the head!!!
Thx for posting this, it was cute!
blessings-sherri
P.S. Just wanted to add mine:
#6.To my knowledge, there is no G.J.A.!(Garden Junkers anonymous!)

#7 Garden Junking is cheap entertainment for those of us making it and others who see what we have made.

This thread is so entertaining! I need to stop on this side more often. Each one of you has a fun and unique point of view.

I agree with everyone else about #5!

Then I read #6 and laughed my butt off.

Then came #7. I am just sitting here chuckling.

Because I'm guilty, guilty, guilty lol.

And good to see you again Sherri, been wonderin' why I hadn't seen you post lately. Luna I noticed you where gone too, but I'm new and just getting to know y'all, not trying to be nosey, no explanations needed, just missed ya :-)

and Jeanne, I'm like you, when I have time to sit down and do what I like to do, it's usually check emails, local paper, then over to GardenJunkers. that's my kind of a break, just like going junking around town is my idea of fun. Hey ... I'm very picky about my junk LOL. OK I'll shuddit ... ~tenderlee

I thought this deserved to be read again!
All of it is true-----

Junkers were just ahead of the times they were "talking "green" before "green" became the latest rage.
concretenprimroses is right, there are Masters of reusing on this forum who could easily host a tv show!
I have gotten so many ideas, but not enough time, of beautiful, unique things to create. Many thanks to all of you.

Thanks for recycling this! I had a hoot reading it. I dont throw anything out without looking at it twice and trying to create a new life for it. Now if only i had more time for creating and more importantly could find a place to put it all once done!

What I have learned from the Garden Junk Forum is that I can have a friend that I may or may never meet and they are still close to my heart!!! My bestest friends came from the Garden Junk forum!!! I feel it is God's way of giving me love!!!

Inspiration and support to turn a hobby into a passion :)

#8 - Where DH sees junk I see ART!
