Long Time Lurker Breaks Silence

**dixie** · 02-23-2009,05:43 AM

I have no idea why it has been so hard for me to join HF, and even harder for me to say Hello....

I'm not known for being a shy person, by any means... so the only other thing I can think of is.... I'm intimidated by your greatness!

I have lurked every day or every other day since last July. Still not a long time in the big picture, but a long time to never utter a peep!

I'm a 37 year old Wife and Mother from the 'burbs of Dallas/Fort Worth, Texas. My Dad gave me a love for Halloween at an early age (He's a ham, and loves to scare trick or treaters) then I married a Man who LOVES Halloween, and also loves to build.... anything.

We moved into our house 3 years ago, and in those 3 Halloweens, we have done a yard haunt, and gone from "Shouldn't have even bothered", to "You're on the Right Track", to last October's... "Now we're getting somewhere".

I have great respect for so many members on this forum, I have seen so much amazing work since I started lurking.... I look forward to continuing to learn from and be inspired by you, and thank you for having this place!
