Title: Hello to you all. Post by: Elaine Anderson on March 14, 2010, 01:02:37 PM Hello everyone,
I have been a member for around 2 years and have NEVER posted. I am so timid on computers, frightened of pressing the wrong button and deleting it all. However my daughter, partner and business link advisor have helped me to overcome my fears and here I am. I feel I know you all to some extent ( I have met a few of you ladies) and am not a shy person in the flesh. It's just the technology that terrifies me. I have taken the bull by the horns (with instruction from Simon my patient partner) and joined twitter, facebook and posted on here all on the same day. Well, I hope this will be the 1st of many posts and it is wonderful to finally say "HELLO" Title: Re: Hello to you all. Post by: Indulgence on March 14, 2010, 01:04:45 PM Hi!
I am sure that once you get used to the feel of the water you'll soon be splashing around with the rest of us! Title: Re: Hello to you all. Post by: Helen on March 14, 2010, 01:48:04 PM Hi Elaine,
A warm welcome to the forum. I am so glad you plucked up the courage to post and don't worry, there are many of us who are technophobic so you are in good company ;) Thanks for the intro and I look forward to chatting with you more around the boards :buttrf: Title: Re: Hello to you all.

Good job taking the tech plunge. Title: Re: Hello to you all. Post by: polly on March 14, 2010, 09:58:27 PM Hello and welcome :buttrf:
Title: Re: Hello to you all. Post by: Elaine Anderson on March 14, 2010, 10:26:32 PM Thanks for all your kind words.
I am @heartshomespun on Twitter. I don't know how to upload pictures yet so you may have to wait for that one Honey. I love your web and blog too!!! Simon takes care of my website for me at the moment but I am trying to learn, it just doesn't sink in sometimes. Maybe this will be the start of my techno education? I make hot and cold process soaps (mainly hot), bath bombs and melts, lip balms, and a few other products. I would love to make creams ( I buy in bases at the moment ), whipped shea and body butters. I know there is lots of advice on here and hope to put it to good use. Title: Re: Hello to you all. Post by: Eire on March 14, 2010, 10:35:50 PM Hi Elaine. Well done for taking the plunge. Your site looks lovely, your soaps are gorgeous. I'm a bit like you with computers. I can post, upload pics and do emails, but that's where it ends. My brain just refuses to engage, anything I do get right is usually by accident. Look forward to many more posts to come.

(knew there was a good reason for tacking the J onto the end of my name when I registered!). Glad you took the plunge - keep going!! Title: Re: Hello to you all. Post by: Elaine Anderson on March 15, 2010, 03:31:57 PM Thanks Elaine. I feel quite excited being able to post and can't stop logging in now I can actually contact you all. I must get some more work done, every time I come to the printer or labeller I can't resist taking a peek :mwaha:
Title: Re: Hello to you all. Post by: Honey on March 15, 2010, 03:49:46 PM That's what happens, we suck you in to the dark side :mwaha:
Title: Re: Hello to you all. Post by: walnutgrove on March 15, 2010, 04:06:15 PM Hello! And well done taking the plunge... you wait, in no time you'll be tweeting and fbing at the same time as cooking up another luverly soap batch with your toes 8) :buttrf:
Title: Re: Hello to you all. Post by: Elaine Anderson on March 15, 2010, 05:44:44 PM Back again, just printing out some lip balm labels. I must say you have all made me feel most welcome. I have met a few of you in the flesh, Keilly (I have tried to pm her several times before and have always run out of time or made another mistake), Jane Malcolm ( We met at Buxton and are both Derbyshire lasses), Jane w from Just Soaps ( I met at the Bakewell Show along with her kind husband). Hope you are all well?
