Glad I decided to look you up. I'm sorry to hear that you got hurt in the industry that should be all about inspiring and brigtening someone's day. Unfortunately,in the past couple of years have learned all about this as I have aspired to become a DT Member for two of my favorite stamp companies. I'd be happy if I got picked up by just one but, I don't travel in the right circles, at least not what 'they' consider to be the right circles. I refuse to give up on my hobby as I've worked really hard to improve my skills. Just have to find another way to let my light shine.

I'm not at all religious and don't apologise for it, BUT I DO try to live by the 10 commandments oddly enough 'coz I think they are good rules for life.<br />Don't let bigots upset you. You are bigger than them by a country mile!<br />Take care, Hugs Viv xx Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16471213092781652196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4469675073004301849.post-67448189344591634082013-01-01T18:08:46.884-05:002013-01-01T18:08:46.884-05:00Amen Sister!!!

From what I saw they were all bestsellers. I truly can't understand why anyone would have a negative comment about what books you choose to read. Maybe I am biased because I have read half of them (and I don't have kids). Follow your own heart and do what feels right to you. Your blog is a tool for you to express yourself, don't let anyone deter you from doing that.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02096885212003885782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4469675073004301849.post-70454731095445395172012-10-28T03:49:21.491-04:002012-10-28T03:49:21.491-04:00I'm with ya!

It seems like once people know you are a Christian, they expect perfection! I have always been taught the only perfect one is our Heavenly Father! Anyone who claims to be a Christian has an example to set and if they are watching me, I will fail, their eyes should be on THE PERFECT ONE! Follow His example!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4469675073004301849.post-9317525807373878262012-10-26T04:23:56.922-04:002012-10-26T04:23:56.922-04:00Oh hon!

Some people can be so cruel!!! I too miss your creations and hope that all of this will be long behind you one day and that maybe you'll enjoy stamping again (and that we'll get to see your cards again too.) I'm sure there are way more people out there who would love to see them, then who would criticize you and what you do/post here.

And you are right that so very often it's Christians hurt their own far more than than non-believers at times. I could be brief and just say, "amen," but I want to encourage you. My husband reminds me that someone else's opinion is none of your business…but he's a man. And, you are not the first person I've heard that has left the stamping community because of hurtful and insensitive (to say the least) words said. I just don't understand it, and I can only say that they are either not truly followers of Christ or not in a right relationship with Him.<br /><br />Be encouraged and know that there are many who love you and still miss you in the stamping community. I myself have been so busy with so many other things that I don't post much on SCS these days. When I make cards, so often they are CASEd or copies of what I've done before, because I want to make cards for gifts and to send them to encourage people. So many times in the stamping community, it's all about "stuff' and what other people think and comments, etc., etc. <br /><br />And it also took far so much time to "keep up" on SCS…for me at least. <br /><br />So, my "virtual" blog friend…you just keep doing what you are doing. And keep your relationship with the Lord as you are doing, along with your family, church…and the rest will follow.<br /><br />Hugs…in Christ, Cheryl (aka CherylQuilts on SCS)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4469675073004301849.post-41674469051100510182012-10-25T22:55:41.402-04:002012-10-25T22:55:41.402-04:00Unfortunately there are many people out there who ...Unfortunately there are many people out there who are "two faced" as we used to say in the South and back east..I have met some of those types of people too.. in the stamping, crafting, direct sales, and regular jobs. The world is full of them. I admire you for taking the time to read all the books your teenagers are reading. I tried to keep up with all my kids were doing also and that is part of being a mom and a Godly woman..>>Know thine enemy. So keep up the good work..and keep watching those kids.. and don't worry about what others say... God Bless.. I'll still follow your blog!!

I am glad that you stay true to yourself.<br /><br />I've followed your blog for awhile, but I am not good in leaving comments. But, I feel I need to this time. Because I understand how you feel and I applaud your honesty.<br /><br />I have experienced it where a person could be one thing on line and totally different or kind of bullyish in person. It is very disheartening sometime. Just ast there's bad people out there, there's also the good ones.<br /><br />Hugs to you and have fun with your blog!! :)Vera Yates (Ling)https://www.blogger.com/profile/10444084419025494780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4469675073004301849.post-18455530126810298312012-10-25T21:00:44.956-04:002012-10-25T21:00:44.956-04:00Hear, hear!
