I made it through the holidays (although they were spent alone) and am terribly thankful that they are over. I have been very busy and ill for a period of time. I spent a lot of December feeding my addiction and obsession (Alphabet Collecting) (do you know how may were given out in November and December??? There were a heck of a lot to keep track of!!!) But I finally have a machine that works after a 1 1/2 year battle with Brother, Inc.. I am learning to digitize, so watch out, I might just be posting some designs for y'all. Just wanted to let you know that I am still around and check in regularly but usually don't have all that much time to post things.
Wishing you all a Happy, Healthy and Prosperous 2010!!

Well, Hellooooooo! Eric.
Sew sorry to hear about your health. I too am glad that the hoidays are over, I love Christmas,but this year was a hard one, I had my purse taken the last of Nov. with all my Christmas money in it, for the Grandkids(5). and in the purse was both of our check books. and my one and only credit card. What a mess! But they did get the ones who broke out the car window to get at my purse.
Anyway here's to a New Year to you! God Bless You in 2010.

7161So glad to see you Eric, even if it is just a brief visit, your absence was noticed and I am so terribly sorry to hear you spent the holidays alone, I did it once, about 12 years ago, and I was so lonely it was very nearly my last Christmas. Thankfully, you are back with us again and I pray your life improves greatly in 2010. Hugs n roses, Meganne
122864Happy New Year Eric! Wonderful to see you here. Can't wait to see what you digitize! I love to digitize. I am addicted to d/l clipart so I have lots to work on.
46153Hi Eric, I was wondering what happened to you. Welcome back on our site. A very happy and prosperous New Year to you. It is not nice to be alone on Christmas and New Year. I know because it happened to me quite a few times. Have a nice and healthy year. Annatjie
2516Well, Happy New Year, Friend. So glad that you stopped back to say hi. There was a lot of alphabets given over the last couple months, just glad that you got them. And too, that you have your machine problem fixed. Good luck with the digitizing. I did one design - haven't tackled any more. That takes time that I don't have right now, because I would rather be stitching. Have a great 2010, and come back more often. You have a lot of buddies that missed you.
44904Glad to hear from you! Looking forward to what you are digitizing!! Such talent. Remember you always have a bunch of friends to chat with here!
35675Best wishes for yoiu too Eric, so good to see you again and I'm sorry to hear that you was ill and alone during the holidays. I wish you all the best and good luck with yout attemp of digitizing.

63126Good to see you, buddy. We actually have 2 other guys that I'm aware of, maybe more. My DH peeks over my shoulder lots, too. I'm sorry that you were alone. Must have been very difficult. Hopefully this will be a better year for you. I'd love to include you in my family festivities next year. I'm serious. Don't stay alone, not good for you. I'm glad that you feel better and have your machine back. You probably have about 1 million alphabets ready to sew by now. Digitizing should keep you pretty much occupied. Happy New Year to you.;)

158715Happy New Year Eric. I am glad you checked in. Wishing that 2010 will be a great year for you. I am glad that brother finally came through. They are not easy to deal with when it comes to a defective product. Stay well.
109774Eric Happy New Year to you too. have missed you on here. Kathy
52685Happy new year Eric so good to hear from you . sorry you have been Ill and so sorry you had to battle with Brothers so long. I am battleing with them right now it has been six months and I still do not have mine replaced I have a borrowed macine now but it is not the new one by the time I get any thing done the warrent will be gone on it. They promiced me a new one . I told them if I did not get it soon I was going to Chanel 2 and let them explain to me and the world why they can not replace my machine I was called and told I could get a new one but not so far Let me know if I sent my frog alphabet to you I digitised it several years ago I posted one time that if any one wanted it to email me. check on my profile for email use subject frog design Lenamae
32767Eric, I guess you can tell how much you are missed by all the reply's to your post! I do hope the New Year will bring you peace, happiness, good health and also be a prosperous year for you! We have missed your post and your beautiful FSL designs. I am sorry you had to spend the holidays alone but as I do know, sometimes it is better than the junk you have to go through just to be around family. I am glad to hear that you won your battle with Brother! Some are not so lucky! Did they fix or replace yours or did they compensate you enough to be able to get a new Machine of your choice? I have 3 embroidery machines sitting on my sewing table; a Singer XL 1000(oldest),a Baby Lock Esante, and a Baby lock Ellageo and my life has been so upset and my pain (physical) so bad that I can not seem to get back to what I really love to do. I do something once in a while but mostly just sit at the computer and wish I could get my life back before this awful crippling Arthritis. It has taken my life away from me and no matter how hard I try to get back to a normal condition, it just does not happen.
We have missed you! You need to come back and visit more often! You have a family right here with all of us! Be happy! Good luck with your digitizing. I am sure it will come easy to you! I have never tried nor had a desire to try. Visit often friend! Linda
24961Hey Eric! Happy New Year to you. I hope you have a wonderful year full of happiness, lots of new alphabets and an ease with digitizing.
12985Hey guy, Happy New Year to you as well and have a great 2010..good to see you are still hanging in there..Hugs x0x0x0x
27071Happy to hear of you, a happy new year for you, are you ready to invent new alphabets, and digitize them??? I hope that now your health is good.
Hugs from France Claude
25533Eric, so nice to hear from you again, you have been missed by many of us. Sorry to hear that you have been ill, I went thru some of that around Christmas myself. Wish you were closer you would of been more than welcome to be with me, and my family. We could of stuffed your belly with plenty of food. Haha!! I would like to digitize, however, have not tryed as of yet. Seems there is to many other things to do. Good luck on your digitizing. What kind of a machine do you have now? I wish you and yours a wonderful New Year. Please do not stay away as long as you did before. H&*
