joannie - (do you mind if i call you that? i feel like i've known you for years-hehe)
no, all i did was sign up for thier free newsletter. i keep getting email from them telling me what wonderful stuff i'd get if i joined. i don't intend to join. but every now and then, there's a free slideshow. some are real duds, but some are lovely. i pass along the ones I think are nice and dump the rest.
anyone can sign up for the freebies. they give you an email signup place for their free newsletter.
