Krafty's alive- new additions to the family

[Krafty]

Hi folks, *hangs head in shame* I know it's been a long, long time but I wanted to let you guys know that I'm alive and very well! ^__^
I've not shown my face around here for ages, been busy with 'real life' stuff- some of the most important changes have been getting engaged to my girlfriend of 18 months last week and we're expecting our first baby on 25th September. *Squeeeee* We don't know the baby's gender but whatever pops out will be brilliant! [I've already bought a couple of amazing little costumes to dress him/her up in- not that I'll be like one of those 'it' girls and their handbag chiwawas!]

Wow, it's all come along at once! Back in February I moved house to be with her now we're looking for a three-bedroom place because our 1-bed flat is too small for a family. Another recent change has been to part with my beloved Chrysler PT Cruiser and sound system for a more economical diesel-powered Ford Focus, but sacrifices have to be made!
Big hello & hugs to everyone I've known here over the years and I'm sure you can understand why I've directed my attention to these things rather than my Beta family. Although I'll be maintaining much of my artwork collection, some bits will have to go over time (nappies, clothing and baby wipes don't come cheap, LOL), so you may see a few sale items pop up every so often.
I aim to come back here on occasions, I still want to maintain friendships and see what's happening in the cel-collecting world so I look forward to reaquainting myself with you all again.

Domo!

Hey Krafty! I was just pondering what might have become when I seen that Beta Gallery thread there.

Congratulations on your family! Sounds like things are going very well for you.

It's good to hear from you.

It's great to hear from you, Krafty! Congratulations and good luck with all the life changes!

Having just made a strong argument that participating in computer-mediated communities is not necessarily incompatible with intimate social relationships, I'm glad to see you come back and seal the deal. Best wishes to your new life and to your child, who will no doubt grow up in an imaginatively stimulating world of subtitled anime.

Wow, that's wonderful news Krafty! Congratulations, I'm so happy for you! Sounds like you are getting prepared ^_^

Holy crap am I out of the loop!
Huge congratulations to ya James!!!!


That is amazing life news! A bride-to-be, new digs, and a
bundle of joy-- all too awesome. I wish you both the best
and for your new baby.
And yes, please don't be a stranger around here.
