Ok it's time for me to eat some serious crow now. I have been a ruthless teaser of all things Facebook, and have even gone so far as professing I'm a Conscientious Facebook Objector.
Although I personally stand by these earlier convictions, Studio Mailbox has just crossed over to the dark side. I've got no idea what I'm doing over there yet, but apparently this is some kind of necessary evil in the business world and I do not want to be so close-minded that I miss the opportunity to connect and interact with all the wonderful artists who are currently in Kelly Rae Robert's e-course with me.
For those of you on Facebook, it would mean so much if you would please go search for the Studio Mailbox Fan Page and then give me the thumbs-up "Like" symbol.
If you have other friends who love mixed media art or German culture, it would also be so helpful if you would spread the word.
At the moment I'm feeling super mixed emotions about all of this. I'm not sure if this is something I really want to do and if I'm suddenly heading down a road I don't even want to be on. In the end I've decided it's worth making the effort and contact with people, and if I find that this is something that doesn't work for me, then I'll break up with Facebook and go on my merry little way. Wish me luck (I need it).
I understand your feelings. Take steps carefully and be aware of who's "Friending" you. Get the facts from veteran Facebookers and be careful what you post.
You should be alright, as long as you don't spend too many hours there. I hear it is a definite "time-sucker" for some.

What they said above and more! I too felt like you and still have mixed feelings about putting myself out there.I have met nice people though and learned few things I didnt know. sometimes I guess, we have to go out on a limb to get the sweetest fruit.. Or words to that effect...ehehe
By the way, I gave you the thumbs up even thought you have reached your '25'.

I've been on facebook for couple of years now because, just like you, I've moved to another country and this was a really good way to keep in touch with everyone back home. Then I took Kelly's class too, read about Like pages and thought to myself that I just can't bring myself to have my own Like page, oh no, I couldn't do that, no way. And then I went in and did it anyway, oh dear! :) I'm off to like your page now since I really like your blog, with or without Like page :)
