Oh Lesley, you don't need to panic. Have a great time creating your intro and coming up with ideas. Once September arrives you will be having so much fun you won't remember to panic :) ... xo

You're panicking, Lesley??? February is juuuuust around the corner and I have no thoughts thus far on what I will be doing.....lol.
I hear you.......the anticipation/trepidation of a first time hosting can be a teeny weeny bit daunting (an understatement, perhaps?).......but just remember, we are here to assist if needed and we are very thankful to have you host. :))

Gloria, it's the thought of creating the intro that's causing the panic - I already have lots of ideas, just don't know how to put them together!

Bev, I'll certainly be asking for help!
Oops, don't know how I managed to post this twice - doesn't bode well for doing something more technically challenging :))

Lesley, I can assure you the mods will come to your rescue if you need help, just ask. I have needed soooo much support with posting stuff on the forum, I think I've driven Linda, Sharon, Glo and others round the bend with my lack of techy skills.....lol.
