Hello friends, I'm back finally

Hello friends!

It seems that I'm here again I'm sorry for my disappearance from the animal toy collectors world, I have gone through two very hard years. All due to a marriage crisis that has ended in my divorce

I have needed time to recover, but last weeks I have revisited the forum often. With the crisis I also stopped sculpturing, but these last days I have already painted again ... I am finally returning to my normal life

Now I can say that I am (moderately) well. My children are happy with me and their mother, even though we are divorced.

So, here I am again . A great greeting to the STSforum family!

Welcome back Joan!  It`s so nice to hear from you again. I am very sorry to hear about your divorce.
But, as you say, it´seems the first steps of improvement are made. I wish you all the best for your future.

Joan, I am really happy that you are back on forum. My forum friends are like my real life friends and I miss them a lot when they are gone. You have a beautiful story on STS and it is very nice to know that you have much more to tell.
I am so sorry for your bad days and for your divorce. Life is quite cruel sometimes. However, I find it good that your children can share his time with both parents. Please enjoy back on forum, most of the old friends are still here and we are really eager to see you back on sculpting and painting once your talent can't be missed.

Hi Joan, I'm really sorry about your problem. But so happy to see you back here. And great to hear that your children are okay. Welcome back here! Can't wait to see your work again.

Wonderful to see you back again, dear Joan !

I am so sorry to hear that you have been through such a terrible time.
Fortunately I have never tried a divorce, but when my husband died some years ago, I was told that sometimes a divorce can be even worse, and that means : incredibly traumatic !!!
But at least you have managed to keeep the children reasonably happy, and that is a great achievement .

But as you can see, your STS-family is very happy to welcome you here again, and I hope we and the hobby can be a help to find your way to a reasonably normal life again .

BIG HUG !
Susanne

Welcome back Joan :)

Thank you very much friends, for your kind comments.

All your hugs arrived to me :)

Welcome back home Joan, you missed here. It's good to hear from an old friend even if we have to learn bad news. At least it's good to hear you aren't too bad and I hope time will help you and your children to feel better.

I'm glad you still enjoy our village and I can't wait to watch what you are painting now

Dear Joan, I'm glad to see you back! You have been missed here!

I'm so sorry to hear about such difficult time in your life. I hope time will make it easier and you will feel better.
It's good to hear you're painting again, it sure sounds like a positive sign.

Hugs to you, friend!!

Oh I am soo glad you're back!

I quite missed looking at what's new in your studio.

I hope the stuff from now on will only be better, and I am looking forward to see your recent painted models!

Haha, problems make you more a human than your sculpting talent from outer space!;-p
Welcome back. The right time to sculpt a female sumatran rhino, not because of the divorce of course,..

Welcome back Joan!

But you're not alone. In my case, I was secretly in love with a guy in my class during 6 years. In the end of Secondary 5, he said I was so ugly (as a joke, but in my mind, jokes always have a true side). Today, he is with someone else. Guess how I feel today...

Welcome back! I had the same problem with disappearance from the collector world, but realised that can't live longer without it! Hope everything will be fine, wish you more inspiration for job!
