Introduce Yourself

[spider]

Hi everyone,
I call myself spider because I'd like to have eight arms/legs to wear all the jewelry I love.  I am very much into the shiny bling-bling and hope I'll meet many like-minded people here. My real name is Christina, and I am 20 years old.
See ya, Spider

[FidelaTresori]

spider.  This is definitely the place for like-minded people. LOL

Are you opening a shop here or just joining the forum?

Love your quote, BTW.

Welcome everyone! I just realized I never did introduce myself. I've been around a little here and there. There isn't enough time in the day. So glad to meet everyone as we go along . John and I will be seeing you up ahead. Looking forward.

Helloooo!
Nice to see the lovely things on this site 

I'm slowly learning to navigate my way around here - got a ways to go yet, but the help I've got so far is lovely.

My username is essiemessy, but my shop name is Bling Bilinga; and my actual person name is Di.
I'm a lampworker, fairly new to the art, but it's got me hooked worse than a lolly on a string 

I look forward to seeing beautiful new work coming up from you all, as well as getting my own small contributions out there.

Welcome di!

Welcome, Di!

FYI, you can add links to your shops, rather than just the shop name, in your signature, as well as your real name if you like, so you don't have to type it for all your posts.

[FidelaTresori]

Hi, Di.  Larissa already said what I was going to say about links in your sig line here, so I'll just welcome you to our little corner of the internet.  Pull up a stool and make yourself at home.  It's a great place to be. :0)

Welcome Di.  We have an open chat session on Thursday evenings (USA Eastern Time 2030); if you can stop in and say hello.  Also if you have any questions, that is a good place to ask.  If you look at the Menu here in forum, you will see Chat as the first llink.
