Leslie! I believe the first one in the room hears the "hello" then as others arrive you get another sound to let you know. I,ll go there now and leave the speakers on if somebody wants to try. "Ladyinred" I wish I could help you but I don,t know how this is all new to me there was a post with a link to click on.

Better yet come on up to British Columbia and I'll find lots for you to do - I am changing jobs in 2 weeks, going from caretaking apartment buildings to working at the head office. Before the new caretaker arrives I have 2&1/2 storage rooms full of crap I have to sort and either store somewhere else or get the goodwill to come and get. Meanwhile I have to paint and clean a unit for her to live in, patch paint another one and clean from top to bottom another one. In another building I have 3 suites that need various things done to them before they are rentable. I also have to put together some presentable work clothes for office attire, I have been wearing paint splattered clothing so long it will be a shock to wear something that is paint free.... add to that the regular duties associated with my job and my own life, and yep, I could really use your help if you're bored...lol. No time to be bored in this neck of the woods. Suzan J

Slow! you are right!......it's so out of place without a tray......etc. That might be why I feel like it has no home! Nicethyme.....my reason for doing it was for the gallery, and I just don't like it enough to try to sell it. I bought it for that purpose..........and don't like it enough, and don't think it represents my work well enough to try to take it in as my first piece. It was fun to do....but I don't like much about it! So that really sucks! Maybe like slow said with the whole set......it might be something I want to keep........ or sell. I have an antique teapot to play with too...... gonna go a totally diffent way with that!....we'll see how that goes! I love the black one posted........ so we'll see......I have no china or plates to replicate it in any way! hazie

I've been away so long and had a few hard drive crashes so I've lost all of my links. I tried last night to get in with the link that you posted Patti because I wanted to catch up with all of you but it brought me to a blank page with a red X. I used to go to the other site and I hadn't been there in so long that I was banned for not posting LOL. So if we don't get to chat I just wanted you to know that I've been thinking about you and THANK YOU Patti for all of the little things that you still sent to me over the years...your bookmarks, your pins, cards etc. You've never forgotten me and it really did mean alot in some really trying times. I would love to catch up sometime with you all, Patti 2
