			<description><![CDATA[ Hi,
<br>
My name is Sandy. I live in East Brunswick, NJ.  I&#39;m a 46yr old mother of 4. I&#39;ve been cross stitching since 1984. I&#39;m currently have 3 WIPs
I&#39;m working on right now. I lurk a lot, I guess because the boards tend to intimidate me, I still don&#39;t know how to show pictures but I&#39;m learning.
I look forward to getting to know you all better.
<br>
<br>

			<description><![CDATA[ <p>I&#39;ve been lurking and decided to drop in and say HI.  I love to stitch and collect stash.  I know I&#39;ll never get it all done in my lifetime but
I&#39;m sure going to try.
<br>
<br>
If you check my YUKU page you&#39;ll see the project that&#39;s keeping me busy these days.  I wish I had kept count of the hours I&#39;ve spent on it.
<br>
<br>
Happy Stitching</p> ]]></description>

introduce myself and start posting.   I&#39;m thirty-(mumble, mumble) and live on Long Island with my DH.  I&#39;ve been doing needlework since I was a child,
but only started counted cross stitch about 10 years ago.  Naturally, I was hooked right away.   Hope everyone is doing well! ]]></description>

91 by the end of the year - ( and I just started in August!)  I can use all the support I can get.

 Other than my ornie addiction I am pretty unremarkable, 45, single and live in Buffalo, NY.
