Thanks! And have a great evening! I'm in the middle of doing report cards...Oh well, tomorrow's Friday!!!! Wahoo!!!!

I feel the need to say THANKS!!!

Thanks so much for your kind words and support of me, my creations and blog/s (do you know how many I OWN!!!??? hehe!) . I truly try to do my very best for every blog/forum/store that I visit and believe in. When I post a card using someone's sketch or digi image, I acknowledge them with a link to their place. I'm sure many of you have found other blogs, store and forums through links I've posted here. I totally put my ALL into every DT I've ever been on. I've been hurt in the end by just a few who didn't appreciate my effort and support, but for the most part, my DT positions have been a blessing to me and something I truly look back on and feel that I was appreciated. I have learned and made new online friends from them, as well.
I am a very kind and helpful person who loves blogging, modding forums (I co-own one with my sisters) and making tutorials. I know quite a lot about taking care of these online places as God knows (and my DH knows too!), I've spent enough hours self-learning all the skills I have picked up. There's nothing I won't attempt to try. If I fail, I keep trying! That's the best way to learn, isn't it.

I received an email today from the co-owner of the place I was kicked off of on Monday and she had the GALL to say that I was basically kicked off because I was JEALOUS! Jealous of the fact that SHE was the co-owner of the site! She said "since I took on the DTC role that you have been jealous of me" HAAAAA, that is hilarious! No! I would NOT want that position, thank-you! I make good money teaching and would NEVER want to own or co-own an online store. I actually owned a tole painting online store for a while and did not enjoy it. Too much work for something that was supposed to be a hobby. I just love creating, not running a shop. (So happy there are those out there who do ,though, 'cause it feeds my creative addiction!!! haha!) She said "you are jealous that she asked me to run things not you", just because I offered to do sketches, challenges and tutorials, which I am darn good at doing, if I must say so myself!. I was trying to be helpful to them because they WERE looking for ways to up their participation on their blog and forum and get more buyers. So I thought this was a way I could be of assistance.Then she said I was "jealous of the fact that you will never have half the talent of the other DT members." How rude of her!!! Can you believe that! How could I be jealous about that when I KNOW I have talent! I'm not ashamed to admit I'm talented! haha! How's that for self-praise!!! hehe!
What it boils down to issssssss... I think she was jealous of me!! haha!!!!
 
Oh, speaking of tutorials and creativity and talent (cough,cough), here are 2 links to creations I've made for Digital Delights and UHU Glue:
CARD HOLDER AND MATCHING CARDS

CHRISTMAS COUNTDOWN CLIPBOARD

Thanks again, to all my followers and those who take the time to comment on my blog. I am forever grateful for you all. I know I was being silly with some of my comments above, but it's just hard, so hard, sometimes to think that someone would think so badly of you that they think you're jealous of them...So I just have to laugh about it. That ,or have a total meltdown. Been there, done that and don't want to do that again EVER!!! So, I've learned to laugh, cry just a little (to get out frustrations) and then pull up my big girl panties and keep on keeping on!!! And ,it's totally TRUE you know that when one door closes, another door opens!!! IT'S TOTALLY TRUE!!! WAHOO!!!!

OK, pity party officially OVER!!!!!
Now,on to report cards................................Whaaaaa!!!!!

Some cards I made last night and other stuff...

I made this card for a challenge at Fairlyland Dreams Digi Stamps.It was for the Whimsical Christmas challenge.

Isn't this just the cutest!!! It's a Clownkins digi from Ildi Co. I'm the guest DT there this month. This image, along with others will be available on Thursday, Nov 19 at Ildi Co.!!!

TOGETHER IS BETTER

I have more cards but they are for the Christmas Cards All Year' Round blog challenge for December!

Look at the beautiful notebook and bookmark that Lois sent me for the notebook swap on Sisterhood of Scrap! Don't you just love it! I do!

And here's my youngest boy's school pic!

Just to let you all know...

I am no longer on the Robyn's Fetish design team. I woke up this morning to a blunt email from Donna saying as of right now I was no longer on the team "due to your inability to perform the tasks asked of you without constant reminders..." Woah!!!! WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I thought, "What the HECK!!!" I have worked my ass off for them, between creating cards, posting about them, modding the forum, posting in the gallery, and participating in their blog hops and Wacky Wednesdays and Saturday challenges!!! I just went and deleted nearly 20 posts about Robyn's Fetish on my blog, and I've only been on the team since Sept! So whatever! I offered my time, creativity and talent (and YES I have TALENT!!!!!) to them and all they gave me was a swift kick in the ass as a send-off. Robyn, you're a very talented lady. Donna, yeah whatever...

Some cards for ya...
