Wow, things have changed in the last few years. I just moved to Toms River and have been looking around for ways to meet people down here, and it occurred to me to check out sewers and crafters. The girls and I have been playing around with polymer clay, so I checked out NJPCG, joined the yahoo group to see if I might be able to stick my nose in to a meeting even though I'm a rank beginner, and whose name/site do I see, but yours?!

Life right now is wonderful and marvelous, and I'm finding I have more time for creative endeavors, so maybe I can pop in here and join the group?

Nice to see you again! How funny that you found me that way - definitely do pop into a NJPCG meeting. They're really a lot of fun and there are many beginners there. The next meeting sounds like one I will really enjoy, so I plan on being there and maybe demoing something, if I can come up with a good idea.

I don't know if we were still in Madison last time we spoke, but we're in Stirling now, and have been for about 9 years. We've got two boys who are almost 7 and almost 4 and are currently running around here throwing blankets that they are pretending are monsters... These guys have so much imagination, I probably could have saved a fortune on toys had I known

I'd love for you to jump into this incarnation of The Polka Dot Cottage - my ability to keep conversation going ebbs and flows with whatever else I happen to have my fingers in. At the moment I seem to be in a "check it every couple of days" mode, which is pretty good.

I'm going to email you a link to our family website, so you can see what else we've been up to, if you'd like. I don't like to post that address publicly.
