Wow, that was quite a post. I felt extremely welcomed when I joined the group. I even made a few new friends and had some trades. It's been great. It took a little while to get to know who was who but that's how things work. That's how good friends are made...slowly and with effort on both sides. I've never been in a place more warm and welcoming than this bunch of folks.
So sorry you felt left out but 4 hours really isn't much time. I was at work all day and tired when I got home.
And I like a variety. Luminatas, bi-colors, amoenas, historics, ruffles, horns and spoons...
