Welcome Pompei! How long have you been reading here?

Thanks!
Off & On for 6 months. How long have you been here?

Welcome to you; just jump in and participate and have fun, that 's the general aim. Explore the conversations side also, there's a variety of topics.

HI, 6 months....you must be getting comfortable with GW, have you read "the kitchen FAQ thread", It's very helpful. And all the numerous categories of forums from antiques to woodworking are great to check out as well, have fun and learn lots-o-stuff. And oh yes, WELCOME.

HI Pompei! I too was a long time "lurker" on here, before deciding to join about a month ago..(actually, I was more like a stalker! HA!) This forum is a wealth of info and ideas/suggestions, as u already know. I have learned TONS in such a short time. Welcome!

Welcome, Pompei! This is a wonderful "place", full of wonderful people. Thank you for adding yourself to the mix!

Hi,

Welcome. I'm new, too. I joined about 3 months ago, after lurking for over a year.

Hi Pompei & heylady - it's always nice to have new people.

Hi Pompei,

Welcome. I look forward to hearing from you.

Hi Pompei, nice to meet you.

Welcome!! I'm fairly new here as well. Glad to have you :-)

hi there!

i'm new here, too- joined about a month ago-- lurked for a year of so first.

welcome!

I've been around since about Oct 07, Pompei. Unlike you, though, I didn't realize this was a 'circle' and think to introduce myself! Just leaped into threads -- 'hey, here's 25 photoshops of your lr!' lol

It's sure been fun and a truly fascinating site, so enjoy!

WElcome, this is such a wonderful group of talented people. I'm always amazed at the transformations people have done in their homes.

Hello, pompei! Hope it's ok for another new member to piggyback on your thread. I've been familiar with GardenWeb for years - it would pop in google searches for various things we were doing to our house - but only started looking at the decorating forum in depth last week. Now I can't stay away. LOVE all the pictures and the advice, and just today figured out how to get to those galleries everyone was talking about. My house might get pretty yet!

Awww Thank you ALL so very much. I really feel welcomed. It's nice to feel part of the crowd.
I hope I can learn,contribute and have some fun. Thanks for some info on where else to look. I'll check them out.
CP (I tend to abbreviate hope it's ok)) Welcome to you too..& all you other previous lerkers...aka stalkers lol.
Thanks again every-one!

Welcome all! So Pompei, what's the story behind your name? I think of the ancient Italian city.. :)

Hi Pompei;
I'm fairly new too, but never lurked! Just couldn't keep my big mouth shut I guess. When I found this forum, I knew it was a great place to meet up and exchange opinions. So I jumped right in. Never thought to introduce myself though. Your mama taught you right!
To all of you lurkers out there (and we know you're there...) Jump in!

Hi Pompei,

I joined in January 2006 when I was for the first time chosoing paint colors. This forum is wonderful mainly because of the talented and caring members. We are glad you have you as a new member.

Thanks again!
Texas hottie, I'll tell you about my name if you'll tell me about yours. lol. I've just always wanted to go to Pompei and hope to make it there some day. It intrigues me.
Your turn.
Annie, yep and she taught me to say "Thank you"(& to cook) lol.
Thanks Lynn :)
