Wow, thanks for the warm welcome everyone. When I joined and posted a quick profile I didn't expect any responses so quickly. I've been browsing the projects and blogs for about a month now and am in such awe of much of what I've seen here. You all have set the bar very high for which I'm really grateful. I'm not yet capable of the craftsmanship protrayed in many of your projects and I know I have many mistakes ahead to wade thru, but with practice and the inspiration and encouragement from LJ's, I know I won't be settling for just OK anymore. Thanks again.
Fred
