Hello to all,
Thanks to all who have viewed my website....and your supportive comments. For
those who have trouble getting through - the access problem has been taken care
of. My webmaster was switching the server from one in NYC to one mirrored in two
different sites - a more safe & secure situation. It was to take a couple of
hours....which became 6 days.
I am usually a parade watcher aka lurker who suffers withdrawal without my daily
dose of Clayart. I was glad I could give something back in return to the
wonderful learning experience that is Clayart.
