I want to thank you all for making it so fun for Sheila and I. I came across an old email from Less dated August 20 when he asked me if I would like having my own custom forum here. (This was about two hours after my first post on BTD and I had printed it out to show my wife I was so touched by his offer.)

I sure am glad he did, and I sure am glad I accepted. You ladies and guys really rock!

Unbelievable that I have been here only two months, it seems like I have always been here, you all make me feel so much a part of things.

My pledge to you all is to continue to strive towards excellence in quality of the jewelry that we deliver. I am afraid that my ability to answer emails will never top out too much higher than what it is now, and I get way more than my ability at this time.

We are in the process of hiring a screener to make it work better for you all. She will answer many of the simple questions and pass the ones needing my personal attention on to me.

Then I can concentrate on getting only the best work done for all of you. It has been a real blessing to see how well you have received my "better" jeweler's work, even though it is a little more expensive than my "good" jeweler. It reaffirms my belief that the internet is not only about price, but it is also about service and quality.

We look forward to many more wonderful years with you all and promise that while we may never be the cheapest, we will always strive to be the best!

P.S. I know it may seem pretentious to wax poetic after only two months, but MAN, they have been GREAT MONTHS!

I'm so glad you're here Wink! My bank account on the otherhand...

I finally called Sheila today and ordered #4 from the cash flow for my daughter. I'm so excited! I also bought a couple of 7x5 ECs that I may have made into earrings for my mom. And my new pear ring from anythingartzy was origianlly done by you too! I've got my whole family hooked!

Oh my goodness! Has it really been two months already? Time flies when you're having fun!!!

Congrats on your survival skills, you just earned your first merit badge.

We are indeed glad that you're here Wink...very glad!

I was SO HAPPY when you joined here!!!!!
I love it here, everyone is so very, very friendly and kind!

Two WONDERFUL WONDERFUL months!!

Wink: Great to have you here and thanks on the "cash flow" cathedral ring, it is gorgeous. Will be calling shortly to get something going for x-mas. Maybe a three-stone with a champagne or cognac in the center with trillions on the side??? Take care and thanks for the service and humor!!

Wink it is absolutely a pleasure to have you here even with though my wallet is screaming mercy. Both you and Sheila are such a pleasure to do business with and trust me your quality and care of your clients is the reason that you are now my official jeweler. Hail to the king of sparklie interlaps.
