With some 2,000 threads in the 'old' thread, I'm deleting it in the hopes of speeding up this group - there have been complaints of slow-loading. I guess after a year, it's sad to see it go.
These are some final posts from the 'retired' thread.
Thank you all for saying hi to us. Love reading your introductions.

Hi all!
Just got an invite from Jillian and decided to join.
I had been a member awhile back and pulled out of most groups I was in because I just couldn't keep up with everything going on in my life.
Life hasn't slowed down any but I am dealing with things better.
thanks for the invite!

Hello, my name is Thomas. I discovered ACT/ ACEO s on ebay and was instantly hooked. I wanted to buy some and try to sell some. I like the variety and talent displayed by all the artists on ebay. I wasn't aware ebay had groups you could join! Thanks for the invite, and check out my ACT's (if available) for a unique, style on the ebay ACT scene.
Nice to meet you all.

I am Carmen Beecher from Satellite Beach, Florida. I paint primarily oils, but use mostly watercolors for art cards. I'm new to eBay, new to ACEO, but I'm already hooked on it. It's so much fun to do the tiny paintings!
Thanks for inviting me to join!

Hi. My name is Minnie W. Shuler, the ACEO's are new to me. I think they are great. I am a retired teacher of mathematics but I have dabbled in art for about 30 years. I have taken some coursework but I am mostly self taught. I always think there is something more I can learn, especially about art. I am a mother of 5 and a grandmother and noless a great-grandmother. I show locally and some area shows when time and health permit. Have won awards and not won some awards. I just love to draw and paint. My mother had a home beauty shop and when we were young she would buy a roll of butcher paper and my sister and I would roll it out the length of the living room and draw all day Saturday when she worked. I have taken correspondence courses in art, classes from Chipola Junior College, Gulf Coast Community College (where I worked, Florida State University, lithographic printing courses and architectural rendering classes from Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University and studied under a fine local artist Victoria Bush. I teach a few children private art classes. Minnie

greetings! been admiring art cards for quite awhile now. i have always had a penchant for paper and its myriad possibilities. i have done some personal works and might be ready soon to share with the world. my other interests in art lie across the spectrum.
looking forward to expanding my knowledge with this group!
