hey everyone...

no manifesto this time ??? :P
Anyway yep im here and waving frantically from Beanieland.

*waves*

hows it going!

[mrs2a50]

I manifest that we are free to be ...... you and me!

Welcome Jas!

[~Margie~]

I think I had just started checking out 2peas digi board when the manifesto was brought up, but I was (and AM) clueless as to what it was. Anyone care to enlighten me? Or is that too sensitive?

[Shannon]

Yay! Welcome Jas! So glad you're here!

[Merkeley Designs]

Hi all, I am a lurker from 2 peas. It was intimidating over there so I never really jumped in and posted much. I felt like I entered the scene late ya know? Anyhow...I am glad I was able to follow you all over here. Hope to be a regular poster here.

I am a designer at Digiscrappin.biz :)

[Kimberly Giarrusso]

HI Jasmine! So glad you here!

[Julie]

Welcome Margie and everyone! Margie I think we're all pretty much past being sensitive about the whole manifesto thing. It was just time to have someplace where we could all hang out without being censored. Like Julie (MRS2A50) said, I manifest that we are free to be ...... you and me!

[angedawn]

Jasbeanie, Margie... glad everyone is here! :)

[Shannon]

Welcome Merkee!! I hope you'll feel at home here! :D

[~Margie~]

I get it...what a great mantra...FREE TO BE YOU AND ME...Hey, maybe Marlo Thomas can be our mascot. Umm, am I aging myself? LOL

Thanks for the great welcome!!

[mrs2a50]

LOL Margie! I wondered if anyone else would recognize that!

[wags]

Hey Jas! Great to see you here! Love your avatar!

[jomi]

Hey Jas! Love your avatar!

I so love to see all the familiar names here!!

[IOD - Josie]

Hi girls!!!
I really like the format here, i mean the interface is nice. You wouldnt' think that it would be that important, but i think it is, and this is a nice one. I'm so glad to see it filling up around here.
Ciao Bebes!

[Inkspots]

[Coffeebean]

Oh my goodness, look how fast the word is spreading! Welcome everyone. I am so excited about this new digital community. :)

[Josoliviamaid]

Well, good golly, the gang's all here!

I've just been catching up on the "fun" stuff in the "vegetable garden"......oh yeah, wait, no code talkin here! WooHoo!! Anyway, so I was reading all the drama at 2Ps and cannot tell you how absolutely ecstatic I am that this place was created!

I just registered and see that this place is HOPPIN' already! LOVE it.

Okay, I'll back away from the espresso now. :-) Just glad to be here and glad you all are here and glad that we are all here together.......Just one big fam damnily!!! :-)

[Inkspots]

Hey Jeannette! Wondering when you'd come over.

[m1218p]

Hey, Jeanette........was wondering when I'd see your smiling face show up over here!!!!!!! Welcome. Now I REALLY feel at home! Marci

[Josoliviamaid]

Well, thank you, my dear! We didn't get home to around midnight last night and then the first part of today, we were makin Pappy Happy! Just trying to catch up on all the emails and 2Ps posts. Now, I'm fooling around with blinkies to see if I can get them to work.

[Amy Wolff (wolfie)]

So glad everyone is coming over here! This will give me a chance to start playing more and stop lurking!

Amy

[mrs2a50]

Hey Jeanette! You said so many wonderfully truthful things over at 2Peas - I think I love you! LOL!

[Josoliviamaid]

Why thank you! LOL I thought I'd try to log in there and find some snarky comment like, "you don't have permission to be here, you back-stabbing witch" or something cute like that and be denied access. :-)

[mrs2a50]

Nah, that would mean someone would actually have to have a backbone there, instead of hiding behind deleted threads.

[Holly]

there's sweet dani!! :)

[~Margie~]

Yes, Jeanette, I commend you and Lynn for your frank and honest posts. And so many others, too! It's obvious the bad feelings were brewing for a while. It felt good to get it out, didn't it?

[HeidiD]

I agree! Jeanette and Lynn and Bree did GREAT!

And as far as the Manifesto goes . . . a while back a bunch of us got together and wrote up a letter detailing why we felt upset with how 2Peas treated its Digital Community and made suggestions for how it could be improved. We posted it in the forum there, and every time we posted it, it was immediately deleted.

You may have noticed the Sticky Thread at the top of the Digi Forum saying, "If You Really Want To Talk About This." That was in response to our "Manifesto." Basically, our letter was ignored, even though we had multiple promises from Kristina (the then-owner of 2Peas) that she would "get right back to us with a decision."

Some of us left, then drifted back. There wasn't really a cohesive site for us ALL to go to. But, in this case, I think this new site really will fit the bill. It feels like home already, and it can only get better from here on out!

Thanks again to any who had a hand in getting this set up. It's MUCH appreciated. :)

[Jasbeanie]

wow.. we're growing...!!!

nice to see all the familiar faces here!!!

[ztampfhung]

Hi Jas! *waving back* My fellow Asian-Designer :).

[Melanie Colosimo (lemonyr)]

Hello right back to 'ya! :D

[~Margie~]

Heidi, thanks for the "Manifesto" background. Yes, I did see the sticky, but I didn't know what had happened.

Well then, this certainly shouldn't be a surprise to them!

[wags]

Mel's here..woohoo! Hey, buddy!

[Melanie Colosimo (lemonyr)]

Hey, Ang! So, SO glad to see you here! Now get Kathy's butt to register too! :D :D :D
