The Kin

*smiles* This is our January Sign in thread and I thought we could all use a minute to brag about our presents and/or brag about how awesomely creative we were at finding the perfect gift for someone else! My husband bought me a netbook this year. *grins like a loon* Now I need a bigger purse to carry all geekiness in one place! I bought him a Citizen watch that will never need batteries. He bought us Rock Band II. *grins* I'm mean on the drums, I tell ya! I bought my mother fairy doors and other little things to start her fairy garden this spring. I bought my Dad tickets to see Celtic Woman in February. Peanut really racked up this year…

*grins* That's right everyone..Christmas is just around the corner...a few short weeks away! Can you believe it? In our discussion last month, everyone jumped on board the idea of planning ahead by signing up for the Christmas and Halloween Exchanges early! This way having more time to shop, easier on the wallet, time to make something and time to get it mailed to your exchange buddy so they actually get thier Christmas gift by Christmas! Now, we didn't decide on any specific theme, and vetoed the idea of a price limit, since we decided we didn't need one! *grins* Sign up for the Christmas Exchange will be open until September 30th! You will reci…

Hello, snuggly Kinsters! Your amazing OL Lor has given me permission to plug a new project going on at the White Tower Org: The Daes Dae'mar Newsletter! We have put out a special edition just in time for the holidays, with features and articles anybody can enjoy, not just WT members. We're also looking for guest submissions and suggestions. If you think this sounds interesting, check out the inaugural issue of Daes Dae'mar here: http://forums.dragonmount.com/index.php/topic,51801.0.html -December 2009 Issue Thanks! Claire

No one wanted to come to my house, so I'm bringing my party to YOU! *smiles*

Hello, everyone! Welcome to 2010! We hope this will be the beginning of a fabulous year here in the Kin! Below is the list of goodies we've got going for this month. These threads will be going up soon, so check back to get the links! I'll edit them as I get the threads posted! :) January's Awesomeness: 1- Make sure you stop by the Newbie board for our Advertisement month!

I would like to join the Kin, if you have room :D

To all the Kin: I cannot tell you how excited and happy I am! You made me this way and I don't have the words to express how thankful I am. I never thought that online friends would make me cry because I feel so loved, but you have done it. You have made me cry with happiness and thanksgiving. I love you all and hope to have something nice made up for everyone soon. You have helped with my Christmas and not only I but my entire family is very very thankful to you. If there is anything I can do to for any of you let me know and I will try my best to make it happen. **Snuggles bunches and just a little more for good luck**

twinnie whoops, then bounces out of her room on the second floor of the Farm House,dressed in her footy Frosty the Snowman jammies and a Santa hat,she runs to the stairs and slides down the bannister, landing at the front door. She throws it open wide, grinning. A swirl of snow blows in, along with the Kyn, Daemon and Manny carrying in a ten foot tall pine tree. Bouncing around the guys, not helping a bit, starts singing Jingle Bells watching the boys set the gorgeous tree up near the fire place in the Farm House's great room. Her eyes shining, she stops singing long enough to hug each of the big men, kissing thier cheeks and then stares at the tree fascinated...sudden…

*grins* I love Christmas Music! All kinds by all people! Youtube opens to us a world of Christmas music to share! So please..I invite you to go find your favorite carol, the one you always sing..the one you wish you could sing..the new one that moved your heart this year! Let's make the Kin SING these last few days as we wait for the night of Profound love to arrive! This is new to me this year..and I LOVE it! From Celtic Woman...Christmas Pipes

Alright, we're starting this one early so hopefully I can get them all ripped and in the mail just after Thanksgiving (that's next Thursday, for those not in the US). That gives us one week to put together music and get the CD put together! I'd really like to try to get the overseas people their CD's before...oh, Valentine's Day...? LOL So, post your favorite Christmas tune here and I'll dig through my vast collection (I'm being serious, don't laugh) and see if I have it. If I don't, I may need you to send it to me! I keep thinking I have it all, but it never fails, ya'll throw me a curve ball every year. LOL So, FIRE when ready! What do YOU want to see on t…

Sorry for the MIA. I had just gotten back to being here regularly, if lightly, and Lloyd got difficult. Another trip to the hospital. ICU for 5 days, breathing tube, feeding tube, etc. Got him home last night. He is absolutely fabulous, talking in the voice I remember as opposed to the recent slurred voice, eating like a madman. And trying out his bows. It's been months since he tried that seriously. Seems like it was a bad reaction to an antibiotic, possible one he shouldn't have anyway due to his chronic condition. First dose was OK, but less than an hour after the second dose he was to able to breath and I called paramedics. I slept in a chair, wh…

Hello all! Well it's December, and we all know what that means, Christmas time! :D I am doing a monthly article for Pawprints called Interviews With Dragonmount, where each month I'll go to a different Org and interview the members about that month's theme. :) So I'd like to humbly request interviewees from amongst you guys! :D From out of all of the interviews, I'll choose 3 or 4 that will make it into the Newsmag. So enough stalling! I now invite you to join me for... [glow=red,2,300]Interviews With Dragonmount: Christmas with the Kin!!![/glow]

Hello, I am jade (jadelollipop) and would like to join the Kin. More family is always a plus. I have 3 children and 2 grandchildren at this time.

Yes, thinking is what I'm doing a lot today, and many other days too of course. It's just that I'm thinking a whole lot now. Some of the thoughts are about deeper questions - things I want to work on. One thing I really want to learn is listening. Therefore I wrote a poem about it (also posted at TV.net): To listen Let me learn how to listen Listen with my heart to those in need Let me be still so I can hear This is my wish today Onis, December 8th 2009

Hello, I'm Onis OLeia, and I'd like to join the Kin. Not sure what I need to write here, but a little about me may be a good idea. Interests are many, but reading (WOT of course), music, singing, dancing, friends, my small family and Photoshop are some. I love to get to know new people, and care a lot about people.

Welcome to the Great Big List of Things We're Thankful For! We try to do this thread every year and it's nice to see the self-affirmations getting posted. I think they help us out as much as we help each other! For me, I thought it might be a good time to reflect on the curve balls that have been thrown at me this year and be thankful for the ones I dodged (and some that I caught that weren't as bad as we thought!). My biggest one for this year... Dana's loss of a job. Therefore, I am thankful that he has one, even if it's only 'til the end of the year. I pray that his old group is able to pull enough strings to get his contract after the first of the …

sorry, :-[

Ooooooooooooooooooooooooh Looooooooooooooooo'oooooooooooooooooooooooooooor!!!! *makes mwa mwa mwa motions with mouth right before chucking a whipped cream cake in the Elegant Eldest's face* Muaaaaaaaahahahahahah! *dives behind a couch*

Lor and Twinnie talked, laughing off and on as they walked arm and arm to the special field behind the Kin's Farm. They had found how to grow this special crop and every year made a special day of going to harvest it's yeild. Of course, being Lor's favorite, it was sometimes a wonder they had any at all left to bring back! Thier plastic Pumpkins in hand, the two women chose a row and started picking the precious Candy Corn! You know it's hard to get Lor to share her Candy Corn, but this year I managed to grab some to fill this special glass Pumpkin Jar! Isn't it just beautiful! Guess what? It can be YOUR'S! It's simple...just tell us: [glow=redyellow,2,…

Hello to everyone here! I would like to submit my request to join the awesome Org that is The Kin please. ;)

Hi everyone! Welcome to the haunting, challenging and FUN: [glow=green,2,300]Wheel of Terror![/glow] *grins* Ok here is the set up. This is similar to the Wheel of Fortune game on TV. I will layout several blank spaces that stand for the letters of a word, phrase, name or thing! You need to figure out what that is by guessing the letters! Ok..you can guess one letter with each post. It will be filled into every blank it fits and you will recieve Two points for each letter. IT MUST BE A CONSONANT! Now, to guess a vowel you will need to buy it, and you can only buy it with points you've accumulated! Vowels cost one point each! You may guess th…

Loraine sweeps in, her many-layered skirts brushing the ground and a big grin on her face. She'd nabbed all the decorations and recipes from around the campus classes and ordered the Hall decorated to suit them all. Finally, it was time to throw open the doors and start the party! Come one, come all! Be ye short or tall! This party be not small! It takes up the whole Hall! (there's a reason why I don't write poetry, ya know?) Welcome to the Kin's fourth annual Costume Ball!

Creating Your Own Haunted House Ok everyone! This class will help you create your own haunted house in your back yard! The first lesson will be the how, what, when, and where of your haunted house! Who: The first thing you want to do is make sure you have enough people. Depending on the size of your haunted house depends on the people. You may want to have one person that will lead everyone through or you may want to have the people lead themselves either way you need enough people to jump out, scare, and gross people out.
