uppitycats Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 I opened my email this morning and found a message from MiniMan and Greenleaf, congratulating me on being a member here for 6 years! Thanks! But...just 6 years??? Was it only 6 years ago that I came here? I mean....There's my Garfield, Tennyson, Brimble, Washington, Brookwood; 2 roomboxes (Houseworks), a mini village; two window boxes in the works; a greenhouse, a trellace, some other garden furniture; not to mention hand-made accessories like curtains, bedspreads and coverings, furniture, floor coverings, lamps, paper goods for the stores and cupboards; my husbands little Trapper's Cottage (a Spring Fling from a couple of years ago); a lighthouse kit screaming to be built... in just 6 years? I bought the Garfield kit in January of 2005, fumbled with it for several months before finding the Greenleaf forums, and really didn't start it until after I came here...so I guess so! I've been feeling a bit discouraged of late...seeing these little houses all around me, thinking about the years and years of time and energy (not to mention $$!) that I've invested in them, thinking, "gee, girl, you gotta get a life!"...but if it's only 6 years, and all that is done...guess that's not so bad! So, thanks again, MiniMan! You've encouraged me to get back at it, dust off those tools, dig out the lighthouse, and crack open the box! (And just when my husband thought he could re-claim the spare bedroom.... ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deb Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 I can't believe it's been that long either Ann. It's funny how we chart our time via our dollhouses instead of calendars isn't it. I'm glad you're encouraged again because I love seeing your work in progress almost as much as seeing the finished eye candy. But most of all I'm happy that you came to Greenleaf. I arrived not long after you and you were one of the first friends I made here. Has it really only been six years? Huge hugs, Deb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
