New Member Contest - If You Join in January 2014 - Please Participate & You Can Win!!

This contest is just for you! Here is how you can get your name in the drawing:

1. Join the forums in January 2014 - those who have already joined this month can still participate.

2. Post an introduction here in the Introduce Yourself Section - does not have to be long - just tell us a little bit about yourself! We would love to meet you! Please create a new thread in the section - thanks!

3. Make 10 posts in the forums by the end of January 2014 - ask questions, post comments, add pictures - what ever info you would like to add! Posts must be made in the main forum - main, intros, buy/sell/trade, general chat, pictures, links & resources, and pattern requests.

How do I know if I have made 10 posts? When you view your name to the left, it will show the number of posts you have made in the forums.

Your names will be entered into a spreadsheet for the drawing. Each name will have a number (1,2,3, ect). I will use on online random number picker to draw the contest winner. The contest ends on January 31st.

Have fun and if you have questions, please post them here! Looking forward to meeting each of you!

Hello and welcome! I am copying this post to the intro section as a separate thread as well, so other members can welcome you to the site!

hello!I am new to this site. But I am on the knitting forum. I like to knit and crochet. Prefer knitting though. I guess it really depends on the project. So thanks for having me!

I, too, am newish to this site. I am so busy right now that I have not the time to be Online for long, just to check my Emails and quick responses. I am an avid crocheter by heart. I have a little dog and 6 mutt cats that are Grandma rescues. I live in a remote forest area near a Lake. I became widowed at a young age. My daughter and family live 2hrs from me so meeting times are generally lunch. Meaning, There's been no time to find out if any of my 4 grand kids take to the craft. I am an early riser and a late to bed person. Right now, I am in the process of making mug warmers (cozys-2), towel toppers, and I belong to a PotHolder Exchange. The Warmers and toppers are of my own origin. I "borrowed" an idea for something else then went clear into left-field for the mug warmers and PotHolders of this month. I have pictures but NO CLUE as of yet, on how to post them to this site. I am barely able to figure out how over on my Ravelry page. So far, I have ONE picture and that's of a vintage PotHolder for the last Exchange that I joined. Thank YOU for the updates, I enjoy joining in as often as I can! Sheri *¿*

SdLb - hope you will enjoy the time you can spend here. Drop in when you can and let us know if you have need of anything! Glad you joined us!

Thank YOU so Very Much! Right now I am waiting for the phone company. The automated recording said Jan 24th!!! Thankfully, I have a Service tech's phone number, as now that I am on report, he'll be out here almost immediately. (I hope). Thanks for the well-wishing! I'sa appreciatin' it! Hugs again, Sheri *¿*
