I might not be a top poster (doing lots of different things within very limited available time), but I am still very happy to be part of this wonderful crafty family!
This forum is making the world a little prettier every day, and it is a rare save and warm haven in a sometimes brutal world.

That was fun to read, except for the loses.

I realized yesterday that I’ve been part of this group for 20 years this month. I joined the old site in January 2006, I know there are others here longer though.

I joined after you, I think. I remember you explaining your old name and your kids being little. Time flies!

My first mod meet up was in Boston, but I don’t remember when that was. I still see some of the first mods on FB but not here.

Amazing round-up as always, @Abbeeroad! And a huge thanks to all the swappers, project-posters, likers, commenters, and mods who continue to make LC the best corner of the Internet. (In other words, everyone :laughing:.)

Ohhh, that’s too bad. May she rest in peace.
