And because you are who you are...

yes!

because we are real ... though sitting behind a screen tapping away... we... all of us... are real people interacting

with poetry and art and feelings and music and love.

thank you, Jack!

Oh and don't the years travel fast!
Five years gone like that.
But the journey continues
and it seems like only yesterday.
Though much has changed and changes still.

Thank you, Doreen, for creating this place, this oasis, and giving the freedom to be, just be. My internet home. Place I always return to. Friendly faces holding kind welcome. Words that entertain, give us a chuckle, or sink us into deeper thought. A skilled lot whose writing and paintings and sketches and photography provide a gallery to walk through and sample a wide and luscious array. Tastes for all palates.

We are, from soup to NUTS, here to stay. Sure we may wander away, but the prodigals always return and are made welcome.

Happy 5th Anniversary Studio Eight and Eighters!

How can it be? Five years? Really? Truly? Happy belated Birthday Studio 8!!!

I have been here and there mostly
but it must be said, the Studio keeps ticking
in or out, i hear the news, read reviews
and mt my mind with regularity

Thank you so very much Doreen
for keeping it faithful, blazing the path,
dancing the dance, and partying on

this little space in time is a "delight" as you so aptly put
and i am grateful that when the muse strikes
i have a home...

(speaking of which, wish the darn banner would change so it's not constant! lol.. haven't been doing the changing manually lately.. we have so many lovely banners... hoping to get it automated soon as i can find someone to help with that)
