I know just how you feel, although I could not have communicated it as brilliantly as you have!

Welcome! This is a part of the virtual world where people put their best foot forward, so to speak. Lots of help and encouragement! If you've been viewing for awhile, you've seen some great growth in confidence and style! I've been thankful for times when forum members shower me with encouragement, and when they gently nudge me to make that style change that I've been posting about. The confidence does spill over into others areas of life.

Welcome from one newbie to another!

Thank you, Robidi, Aquamarine, and Beth Ann, for your kind words of welcome and your wisdom. Reading along as I have been is fine, but I will learn so much more by participating. I could certainly use both the confidence/support and the nudge, and I'm actually looking forward to being pushed outside my box!

Welcome from another newcomer. How fun to have so many new people to learn from!
