Is it time to start planning the party? I'm thinking of making cup cakes and everyone who gets one has to send on somemore to other members. What do you all think. Have I went around the bend or what?

Either that or we could all send "Area 51" pictures to Bill lol. (hope that isn't a poofable idea.)

Everyone submit your ideas here please. lol

I think the nicest thing would be just to type up and post what exactly the forum has come to mean to each of us. That's something Bill could keep forever.

We're getting so close!

I think there should be a random drawing and whoever gets ones name has to send something special out of their garden to the chosen member

I'd be willing to raffle off(for free of course) an Avon necklace when we hit 10,000.......I'll assign everyone a number that wants a chance to win it and then I could have someone pick a number.....

Did someone mention PARTY???
I am SO there!

Where's the ?

A very exciting milestone we are about to hit and about the same time as our 9th year anniversary. (It is 9, right?)

Will be a good weekend to party with Bill!

All these ideas are marvelous. I'm going to start writing my post about what the forum has come to mean to me so it will be ready on the day. That's a great idea. And I like the garden exchange idea too. That is so special. And the raffle is a wonderful gift to all of us. I'll have to see if I have anything I can add to the raffle. I can't think of anything right now. But I'll be thinking. If I had a color printer I could do some seed packets for someone but mine is only black and white.

I cleaned out my PM's....so if you'd like to win the necklace please send me a PM. Only those that send me a PM will be entered. I'm upping it to a necklace and a shower gel.....and who knows what else I'll end up throwing in there.

I thought the garden idea would be great just on account everyone has had input to make this a special site!!Nobody would be without..kinda like secret santa...

PS loz have you really had to water with all this rain we have been getting your siggy line made my laugh today thanks!!

9990 members, we're getting so close.

NO, I don't need to water..... I guess I need to change that, it's still raining and it's forecast to rain for days still! :p
