Hi everyone,
nice to be able to meet you all, I actually joined a while ago but totally forgot about this site.
A bit about me, I am in a long term relationship with my life partner, she's awesome in every single way, we have 2 gorgeous daughters who like nothing more than to make our lives 'interesting'. I am a hobbyist graphic designer, I do mean hobbyist, I make silly things in photoshop like swords, pens, books, smilies and so on, nothing too clever, just me having some fun. I am a new to the realm tobacco pipe maker, I enjoy that hobby very much, being a pipe smoker myself it kind of comes in handy. I enjoy getting out to the woods when ever I can, haven't done that in a while due to some back problems and various other niggling things, but when I get the chance I feel close to the Earth Mother, so that's good.
I have tried running a few forums on free forum hosting companies and one on a paid hosting company, that one was hacked and I have never managed to get another working right. I signed up here originally to try to get a forum running on the free hosting offered here to see how that goes but I have lost interest in forums to be honest, the running one that is. I have come back here due to the 'We miss you' email the admin here sent out recently, I should rather like the opportunity to create a website to display my digital art and my pipes in a nicer way than I have them shown presently on wordpress, oh that site is wonderful in many many ways but it is very restricting on artistic flair, creating a proper website gives one the opportunity to be truly original, so this is why I have returned.
Well, I hope to get to know some of you a little better in due course, meanwhile I shall have a peruse in the forums here and see what's going on, nice to meet you, I hope you all had a great Christmas and that you all have an excellent New Year.
