Just a quick note to all of you - not to worry about getting used to this new thread - it will all work out! I haven't been getting all notices either, but I do check in a dozen times weekly and have been keeping track of everyone's screen names, real names [when provided] whether you have a WIP or are starting fresh, have books, software, etc... I intent to PM you each personally at the beginning of the year when I have a schedule posted and give you a reminder as to a start date around the middle of January. You should definitely receive notifications of PMs - I have even on this new board almost at the precise time they are sent.
I have 49 names on the DJ list!! whooo hoo!!! This will be lots of fun! so enjoy the holidays - collect some fabrics - get your book or software ready [put it on your Christmas/Hanukkah lists if you dont have it] and get ready to join the excitement!
