Myka,
I checked out the site, and I'd love to be involved. Drop me a line. Katherine "Myka KS" wrote in message ... Hello RCTYers! I've made a few posts on here since I "came out" of lurkdom a couple of weeks ago. But some of you may have missed that, so I thought I'd post again and tell you-all a little bit more about myself.

All you have to do is send a piece of thread/yarn/floss/strip-of-fabric/etc., 12-72 inches in length, along with a story (I'm sure a couple of sentences would be fine) about where it came from or if it has any significance. I am willing to collect these (in other words, I'd contact you offsite with my snail for you to send me your thread and story) and send them to the Thread Project HQ. Their website is www.threadproject.com and has lots of information and pictures! So, please, think about contributing. Post here if you want to be involved and I'll e-mail you offsite with my snail. Or you can try to e-mail me off-site if you can figure out the secret code that I've encrypted my with. I've already gotten 2 enthusiastic 'yes'es. . . How 'bout a few more? Blessings, Myka |

Sorry, forgot to include my signature on that last post which gives the clue
about decoding my e-mail! And since my 6x6 partner had some trouble figuring it out, I'll give an added hint: JustUnderNineOlives=juno Blessings, Myka -- Spam trap hint: contact me at the acronym OR just post here and I'll respond wherever you request. |
