Please allow me to introduce myself......

[a_muse]

I've already jumped in a bit without an introduction.

As I've mentioned I'm borderline crazy (and the line is getting fuzzier by the day it seems), I am a thirty (something or other) mostly stay at home (oh the horror!) mother to four young kids. I am an artist transitioning into a graphic designer. I'm in southern Ontario (that's Canada ;) ).

I'd love to pick all the knowledge from your collective brains!!
(mmmm, brains....)

As long as you don't use an icepick that should be ok. A fork or a toothpick would probably be most suitable.

hehe welcome aboard muse ;)

I am the stay at home aunt to my sisters 4 kids ... they are 10,9,6 and 10 months. I feel your pain :D

My sister just got a tee shirt today that cracked me up ... it said.

I finished child proofing the house - but some how the kids keep getting back in.

:D

Welcome!

And both of you better use the baby gates. I don't think GDF is quite babyproofed!

Welcome to GDF, muse!

Hello and Welcome!

Welcome muse!

I'm a mother of two, former fine arts major (painting, graduated in the early 90's) slowly building a freelance business. Working on the side to transition to GD (my main interest and ultimate goal is book design). Sounds like we got some stuff in common! Hope you stick around here, the folks are great, and almost all of us are at least a touch borderline! Enjoy the good ole GDF! :)

Thanks for the warm welcome!
@budafist- how about a fondue fork?
@Red Kittie Kat- My kids are 8, 5 year old twins, and 2, they are all what you would call "spirited", I was hoping that the last one would be the mellow one, but nope, he's the worst! ;)
@Typically- I just love the Muppet Show, how did you know? :)

Thanks again everyone, this place will be great for me, feeling slightly bruised from my first Showcase posting, but it's all good.

Fondue fork might work.
