Hi there!

First off, I want to compliment you on your wonderful introduction.

I guess I'm somewhat of a newbie; like Shirley I rarely post, mostly
read shared information and check out items on websites, and the two
auction sites most mentioned ("Just Beads" and "eBay"). As I said, I
mostly read the various posts (likening it to: reading over others's
shoulders), haven't gotten into any "conversations" per say and know
very few of the people / personalities involved in this users' group. I
teach sixth grade full time and, therefore have very little time to
devote to this beading, although somehow or other devoting money doesn't
seem to be a challenge for me. I am in the dead middle of my summer
break and am able to scope out the postings much more than when school's
in session.

I find that much of the information which "Kathy N-V" gave you about the
users' group to be of interest to me to since I never properly
introduced my self as you have taken the time to do. So please pardon
me if I "steal" some information from you.

Good Luck!

Penny Lee

Thanks for the information you sent Anne; I am going to "steal" the info
since my knowledge of the group is fairly limited.

I also appreciated the reminder that you tacked on regarding the
endurance of posts on users' groups. I did not realize that as many
probably did not.

Thanks, again.

A newbie, of sorts,

Penny Lee

Its cruel to tease us like this.
But then, just coming here every day, following links is exquisite torture.

Welcome, Anne. Or should I call you Dr. Dolittle?? LOL Thats quite a
menagrie.
It seems like fiber arts and beadwork go together as interests. I think
it's the common love of texture, pattern and color.
Pediatric RN; that has to be both a joyous and a heartbreaking job.

Glad you are here.
