    Hello Everyone,

    I see there are several forums here that will interest me.

    I used to love to garden (organic), but I've let things get overgrown. Maybe next year . . .

    I've raised over 660 rabbits and can give pet rabbit advice. We also raise long-coat Chihuahuas on a small scale.

    I'm a nut about cobalt blue glass, so I'll be interested to see if there are interior design projects going on that could use a touch of cobalt.

    I've built two houses with my dad and various help from family members as they were able. So perhaps I can be of service for folks who are doing DIY remodeling or rennovation projects.

    In any case, it may take me days to get around to all of the forums, but I'm pretty sure that there's a lot here for a gal like me.

    Welcome Laurie from Kansas City, my garden gets overgrown from time to time, maybe it's good for it.

    You should find plenty to do around here. :)

    Sorry, no sea glass, though that does sound interesting. Think round butter dishes, vases, dishes, and the like. I focus on hand-crafted glass of heirloom quality, made in the USA. I love it.

    I also collect pink Queen Mary depression glass. And glass candlesticks.
