These are interesting thoughts. I have not received any emails unless they were accidently deleted through the filters for my email.

I really enjoy reading things from embroiderers from around the world. I like to hear what others are doing, what issues that they are dealing with and the other things that a group does for and with each other.
I agree that many of the sites are seeming to have less traffic. I would truly hate to lose the friendships and acquaintances that I have met here because of lack of contact.
Is there something that I can do to encourage your creating a free, no obligation membership?
(Ann's Club) is different and does have a small price to pay. I really do believe it is a small price considering what you can get for your fee. Just the 50% off stabilizer will pay for your membership in no time.
Just before Oprah went off the air, Sally Field (I think) was on and they were talking about what makes life MORE ENJOYABLE. One thing they both agreed upon was that people who meet with like minded people in a social manner (Forums are exactly that!) are definately happier and live longer. That has stuck with me for the past several years. The concept is excellent and I totally agree.
Join the discussion. No one cares about your spelling or writing, they care about someone with something to share.
