Verla, I may have faded a bit from the boards and writing (i'm rebounding though- yay!) but I, too, wish to express my appreciation for all you've done over the years (and years and years!)

I'm bumping this topic up to let everyone know the unveiling of the "Big News" for the Blueboards will be coming your way in February! (In just a few weeks.) Watch for it. It's MAJOR BIG NEWS! :woo

Well, I'm just anxiously awaiting the big announcement. I love this board. I'm a shy poster, so people here don't really know me yet, but I come here whenever I'm feeling down about my writing, and by the time I leave I feel better. You're just such a positive, supportive group.  :grouphug2:

Great news will still be great news when you're able to share it here. No worries.

I'm so glad you put this cutie  :woo next to your announcement about big news. Now I'm not afraid to find out what it is. So often the last few years big news has been bad, but you make me smile.  :grin

No worries, Verla. It'll happen when it's meant to happen. <3

I know I rarely post on here (I'm more of a lurker), but THANK YOU for creating this lovely place for all of us.  :love5:
