Hi, Sue! Haven't received the e-mail yet with my junk partner. Anything I can do to help? Can't wait to begin this junking adventure. Take care, Wendy

Thank you for sharing your jewelry project -- and your wonderful talent. This necklace has so much beautiful detail. It's as if every piece has a story to tell. Can't wait to see more of your gift!

I absolutely love this. (I never knew you could take apart old paperweights and put new goodies inside them!)This beautiful piece really honors your son and his sons. I love it!

Count me in! Sounds like great fun

You've created a beautiful lamp that honors these great heroes. My husband is a deputy sheriff and I know your gift will be a huge hit with others who protect and serve.

Kathy -- What a wonderful assortment of Christmas junk. I love the clock box, the hay unloader, the bottles, the boxes. I know it's just eight days until Xmas but I'm inspired to dig into the junk stash for new ideas. Thanks for the inspiration. Happy Holidays.

I'm a Wisconsin native and I love the farm junk. It reminds me of home. Great job!

I love this project. I am a huge fan of old silver and trophies. Always looking for new ways to use them. The trophy bottle trees are perfect. And I adore the bling. Great stuff!

I absolutely love this. A wonderful, warm display featuring beloved junk. Hope Santa brings more vintage finds for Christmas. Thank you for sharing.

Love your creative Christmas arrangement of vintage treasures. The guest book is awesome!

Congrats on your cute kitties and a great photo. Thank you for rescuing your four-legged friends. (All of our pets -- dog, cats, bird -- are rescues. And amazingly enough, they love antique/vintage/junk decor!)

What a wonderful display! I love the combination of the skates and candles. Great estate sale finds. (If you need someone to accompany you on your next treasure hunt, holler!)

Your collages are wonderful. Each tells a great story via junk. I'm inspired -- and loving the idea of hibernating during the winter with junk projects! Only problem, I live in Florida...Can we do warm-weather hiberation here?

What a wonderful idea -- especially the memory cloche. Your pieces express special stories you have honored in a beautiful way. Thank you. Wendy

I love these. You have an incredible eye. Where many people would have seen only a plain glass orb, you saw a creative junking project! I'm inspired. Thank you and good luck at Scott's. We go to the Atlanta show often and love it.

I absolutely love this! I am a huge fan of old tin pieces but was never sure how to display them in. Your "dot" approach is perfect -- and has me thinking of other "bare back" frame ideas. Thank you for sharing!

I absolutely love your mom's gift. It's creative, useful...a piece of art. You have inspired me to look for unique junk pieces to transform. Thank you so much for sharing your awesome board.

This is such a thoughtful, creative and personal gift. I know E's teacher will cherish it forever. Your project inspires me to use unique, junk treasures as gifts this holiday season. Thank you!

I love this idea -- talk about a unique holiday gift. Practical, personal, unique and creative. Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful talents.

I absolutely love this! Your piece has such creativity, texture and character. Your post has me inspired to look for junk holiday containers that will spruce up my entire house. Charge!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Your artwork and creativity are amazing! I never thought of an ax as a painting canvas before! Love your work, and I'm sure your daughter did too!

What a beautiful, spiritual piece you created. I love vintage pieces and hope you will share even more of your work. It's gorgeous!

I love old sewing pieces. And drawers, to this junker, are the ultimate display piece. Great job. I love it. I'll be looking for vintage sewing pieces at thrift stores and garage sales this weekend thanks to your inspiration!

What a wonderful project for a wonderful cause!!!! Your room is so inspirational in so many ways. I love your artwork, work station, colors and total junk creativity. Whoop Whoop X 10!! Great job and thank you for sharing.

Yes, I agree. Husband Doug is a gem. He has a great eye for junk -- and often finds the best treasures by searching flea markets and shows slowly and carefully...while I dash around like a crazy woman. Doug is a deputy sheriff in our hometown, so in addition to junk and antiques, he loves old police memorabilia -- badges, uniform buttons, police signs and patches. Many thanks for the kind comments!
