Coming out of the woodwork :)




Greetings everyone,

I am very happy to be here after finally abandoning my "fly on the wall" stance. I am pleased to say that I have gradually overcome my former complete technical ineptness thanks to my 12 year old son's tutoring.

I have met quite a few of you in person over the past few years and have enjoyed browsing the forum on a regular basis. I am honored to be part of such a great group of talented, committed and generous artists.

Hello Laurel and welcome. Toronto is like my second home, Etobicoke now a city is where I lived as a youngster.

Visited your site and am quite impressed with your work and dedication. It is nice to have you here.

Hey Laurel

Does this mean I can't refer to you as "Laurel the Lurker" anymore?

Welcome aboard!
