Oh no, let the lord have mercy on your soul....Keep yourself hydrated!!

Got out in this 105+ degree heat today & went to Hobby Lobby. I can't even begin to say how great it is that I don't have to drive out-of-town anymore to shop. We had nothing like this in my city until the HL opened in early May. I found some good buys ! To Pam, darlin you don't go anywhere ! I have been in some kind of card swap with you since I joined the forum in 2008 & have been in this one since last Sep. or Oct. I really enjoy this with you ladies & not once has anyone ever said a cross word to me nor me them. Drama Free is for Me !!!!! Thanks Pam for all you do with this swap & thanks Shania/ Drayia for all you do with the card swap & thanks to all the ladies that have swapped with me . I appreciate the long distance friendships & sharing an art that we all love ! xoxoxo Lori/lori1963

Oh & Pam, put me down for the next round. I will send you my survey tonight. xoxoxo

Pam Thank You for everything you do.I really appreciate being in this swap. Meeting all the ladies in the swap.It has been a wonderful experience.I look forward to the swap each month.

Ohhhhh...i had to read a few post but now I'm up n up...Pam don't leave...you have been an awesome hostess here...you do keep on top of things nicely. Sassie I hope you don't get your feelings hurt anymore...I didn't think you would be offended...really iwhen i read ...i thought you would be laughing...especially you since you like to kid around and joke around...that's how i saw it...like a poke in the tummy...a friendly...comment...

Well i hope everyone is ok...this swap has been wonderful...

I also love the MOTM swap...member of the month...a member is chosen (SASSIE is the MOTM now)...and the others shop and send happy packages to that person...then the following month someone else is chosen...your name is kept tracked of and your name is put in according to how many times u have sent in...I'm keeping my fingers crossed...lol

Well what she said put in bad taste in my mouth a well. If you have a problem with me you PM don't broadcast it on her. Others read and they also are hurt and then I hear from them in a PM.

Listen I have enough stress in my life I come on here to get away from it all. I do not easily forgive and I will never forget. Unfortunately some people in my life have not seen how badly they have hurt me and don't relaize I have feeling and they should apologize. I am sick of apologizing so I don't anymore. My BFF hasn't got it yet, even after I have extremely cooled it with her. No more every day calls and textes, even stopped dining with them weekly. This has nothing to do with you Sassie. Just letting you know my life has been turned upside down and sideways recently and I do not need more than I can handle. Even thou they say God gives you what you can handle He needs to start giving some to someone else.

So lets go forward. I had a few ladies pick their pals and if I had their survey I gave it to the pal. I already sent my package to my pal she she get it anyday. I try every month to give you someone different so you don't get the same person all the time. Its hard but I do it. Thank goodness for excel.

Ms. Pam,

I may be the newest member on this swap and the forum but all I can say is, and if make you feel any better, I HAVE NOT felt any mistreatment from you or anyone else in here. From the beginning it has been very welcoming here by everyone and I've developed some sort of friendship with everyone I come across. No judgement on my end but it's a shame that something that should be entertaining and a gathering place for all of us to enjoy and share our hobbies have to come to this. No need for you to leave or Ms. Sassie to feel that way, let's just all hang in there and make the best out of this.

I thought I sent you my survey for #2 but it may be "operator error" on my part if it didn't come through. Please let me know if you did or did not get it so I can follow up. I updated my wishlist since Drayia was so thoughtful in picking out things for me from the last round. Blessings to you on this day.

sent my survey in Pam.

Cool ladies. Lets get to swapping and shopping. But since the weather has been so hot lately ladies. Please shop online, early morning or later in the evening, when the sun is not at its fullest. This heat is nuts for everyone.

I plan to shop for my buddy next week. I can't wait too. I have been under the weather this week and look forward to shopping and spoiling soon.

Hoping this works. Trying to post pictures of the items received from my SS. I love it all. The altered puzzle pieces are absolutely beautiful! I plan to use them on a special layout. I already have a plan for a layout using the camping items.

Pam, don't leave us!!!!!! I didn't see the post either, but I'm sorry there was drama. This is a great swap and an excellent group of ladies. Let's just have fun and keep it going. I've never seen Pam say anything mean to anyone. Let's be happy.

I'm so glad you are in Ms. Pebbles! YAY!!!!
