I started writing here in February <BR>
of 2001.  - But it doesn't show <BR>
until April 2001 - because I had <BR>
lost my password and could no longer<BR>
signon as Harem - so I added the ~'s<BR>
and restarted as  ~Harem~<BR>

I remember TJ_Holland and guppy<BR>
and Galadrial and Dark Angel,<BR>
and SCqueen and Misti Rainwater Lake,<BR>
and Diva, and so many others over<BR>
the years.  Imagine if they were<BR>
all to come back - That would be<BR>
something else.<BR>

BK, I know, saw that too, but thought you'd been around for a while. I always felt I had to make sure folks knew we were different folks, because of the initials thing, but it never came up. LOL<BR>
<BR>
Misti Velvet Rainwater was in very early that I could recall, certainly was posting about the same time as Isolde, and yay, she is still here, with her many interesting noms de plume. :)<BR>
<BR>
I loved Deeva's paintings... the flow of creativity, the bumps of poets inspired by other's words and images... but I sure didn't ever envy Kirk's task to read through 4-600 works in a month and pick the few Front page picks.<BR>
<BR>
I wonder if we could harvest up all the old email addresses and send out invites to those early Blenderites... maybe for the 15th anniversary in 2010?

That's funny I never noticed before you just now said it, that BK and Brianna Kassia are the same initials...ha<BR>
<BR>
BK is only initials of my first and middle name so it is different. There were so many times I wanted to change it but it's stuck there now.

BK, thanks ever so much for that link. So neat to see what Deevaa's been up to, and how romantic that she and Ross finally wed!<BR>

 I have become a recent Etsy fanatic: love love love that site... I have shopped there, and will again, but will not be offering up anything my own for sale till I have a much bigger stock, and some clue about shipping. I do pen and ink, calligraphy and watercolours, and am working on a line of pomes done in resist on scenic underlays... it's hard to explain and I have no pics uploaded yet. But yeah, Etsy rocks. So hard not to spend like a fiend. :)
