What a nice portrait of Loreena in New York. At the beginning she tries to help you to get the doll out of the bag. Then she comes out with such simple words..'an ordinary person'...which actually mean how extraordinary woman she is, and eventually she thanks you for the present via email. You're so lucky, you have had a great experience with her.
Best.

Hello Lizjul

It's allowed to be so passionated that you forget some things, like introducing yourself. I think I did it too. No, I know!
There are so many good threads here... You get so hooked.

For how long have you played all of your instuments? In my imagination I have played those instruments since I was 2. But in real life, I play a little of classical guitar for about 6 years, and the harp, this is my first year. Still a skilled learner
I started playing the harp 2 years ago. The time and place was there... I'm so glad I did.
I could not live without the music. My soul gets all crippled when I'm out of music for too long!! I'm with you on that. I can't do without music.
I think I will ask you why you are writing in pink (or light purple I write it in pink because, I love the color! It's so girlly!
All girls should have a pink periode!

Any particular reason? They say that the Chakra color of pink, means compassion. I didn't know that before I embraced the color. But now! I revere the color. Or at least one of them.

And another question...
Why do your doll-making keep you from trouble?
-Change in color-They keep me out of trouble, by having me work on them day and night. They are that demanding. So it leaves no room to climb the roof of my house and sing out loud, a song of such nonsense, that I would be booted out of the neighborhood. Don't know if I would do that, but it sounds tempting sometimes.
*hahaha* I could see it happen... Maybe I should drop by and sing along with you! That would be funny!


Oh yes.
Did you get to meet ms. McKennitt after the show at the Nobles? I did meet her afterwards. She signed our cds. One of my close friends was with me. I made a doll for Loreena. It was for the Christmas holiday. I had the doll in a gift bag, which was in another gift bag to be secure. I said "Loreena I made this for you". And I couldn't get the doll out of the bag. Heavens help me. I was shaking it and shaking it, but it wouldn't budge. So Loreena had to help me. And finally the doll was released. I was not embarrassed, but I said to myself typical of me to have this happen. It was very funny. And she gave me a message when I said I have longed to meet her, I can't believe it. She said softly "I'm just an ordinary person". A couple of weeks later I received an email from Quinlanroad extending Loreena's thanks for the Christmas gift and card. Very personable! I was stunned.
You're so very lucky.
What a nice gesture that you made a doll for her.
I find it facinating and a bit amusing that people using that sentence I'm just an ordinary person normally aren't. [COLOR:YELLOW]I agree! And if you should ask me, I'd say, ad an "extra" to the word ordinary, because few people actually wants to admit they are ordinary. [/color]

I better stop the stream of questions before you disappear in them... Thank you so much Anxious 2 for the welcome!

I think I will end this message with a belate welcome-hug. (Not sure you had one earlier)

You sound quite talented, I wish i could play something. While I have had the pleasure of seeing Loreena in concert several times and meeting her twice, I think it would be also a treat to see her at a Barnes & Noble. Alas, my city is probably too small to attract her to our local branch.

Hi Everyone,

I have been participating on the various panels of discussions, and I realized that I have not introduced myself to you at all. My forum name is Lizjul. I live in the USA, Westchester New York. It is a half an hour from New York City, which is where I work. I work at a Non-Profit as a Fundraising Database Manager, I also Cantor at my Church. And I have a small business, as a Doll Designer and Doll Maker. (Keeps me out of trouble) I love Loreena McKennitt's music. I went out of my mind, when I was able to see her for the first time at Barnes & Noble located at Union Square. I love music and I'm learning to play the Harp. Right now I'm playing Twinkle Twinkle and Yankee Doodle. I love it. Anyway, I love reading all the discussions on the panel and I think you all are sooo cool! See you on the discussion board.
