This is where I found you guys over two years ago, and this is where I found the inspiration to follow my dream. I lurked here for almost a year before ever posting. When I made my fist ugly little beads, this is where I posted pictures of them and got the support and encouragement I needed to continue on. This is where I received helpful advise and later on, my very first KLUNK. This is where I found friends that felt like a family. It's where we' ve had squabbles, and it's where we've kissed and made up. It's where I've read wonderful stories about your lives, and felt like I've known you all along. This is where I've cried tears of joy for new babies born, and sad tears for the loss of loved ones so dear. This is where we support one another in times of need, and celebrate each other's accomplishments. This is where we get to see Kandice's beautiful pink flowers and drool over Kalera's Monday night beads up for grabs. It's where we get to see David's penguins and Jerri's gorgeous beads and silverwork, and Butterbean's new outfits. This is where we check in during hurricanes and fires to make sure everyone is alright. It's where we learn about life on a longboat from Su and these are the faces on the wall of Shirley's workroom. This is where Sooz shares her advise and her links list, and it's where we all come when we need a break. It's where we have our morning coffee or sometimes even our evening meal. (This is where a LAMINATED bead size chart from Sooz comes in handy.) This is where it's not just about the beads, it's about us, the people of RCB. This is where I found you by chance and it's where I stayed by choice, and if you ask me where all my friends are..This is where!
