My apologies if anyone saw "my" IRIS group...

Hello Fellow IRIS members....

I am new to this site (only really getting started in the last week) - just wanted you to know that when I didn't find IRIS (I did a search for "stage" - how did I miss you???) I made a new group and guess what I called it? "IRIS Stagers"... I made it private - and then wondered how I would find any of you... well I wrote a blog today that Margaret commented on - and through her comment i found you all!!

Yeah - I feel so happy!

So, first I want to apologize if anyone saw "my" group and took offense... It was promptly deleted when I found this group!

And secondly confess that I probably should have been doing more on the IRIS Web site - blogs and such - but I was just overwhelmed by it all. Now I am addicted to this stuff... instant gratification - you know!

I know a few redesigners but none that are serious about the staging side in my area - yet - I am probably surrounded by them... and like the group, i just haven't done my homework. But I am happy to have the 39 of you in the community to learn from and grow with.  

Do most of you blog on both this and the IRIS Web sites? I really didn't understand blogging before but this site made it very easy for me to figure out. Is the IRIS site this easy?

Thanks!!

Welcome!  I actually do not blog on Weredesign.com much because the format is complicated.  Have heard that IRIS iw working on the Bulletin Board as well as many other things.   I do however look at AR practically everyday.  I have learned a great deal and love it.

Hey there JoAnn.  I do look at the IRIS board but there doesn't seem to be much activity so I only check in every week or so...  I spend more time on AR.  The IRIS forum here on AR has not been around for very long but seems to be gaining more members.  Welcome.

Let me also invite you over to the group "House Warmers" if you are doing move-in services like downsizing, household combining, and move-in redesigns.
