Slightly Disillusioned

I absolutely LOVE the scrapping world and have not yet met someone that is not ridiculously kind and fun to talk to. It was disappointing, therefore, for me to find that there are definitely people in the scrapping world that are... well... not so kind! I was reading some comments about grab bags and was really sad to see that many of the commentors were basically talking "smack" about the bags. I think that I feel the old saying, if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything, I mean... if you don't like it, say it's not your style and that you're not going to buy it. But I think it's completely unwarranted to accuse designers of copying other designers and saying they have no talent! Honestly... there's only so much that can be done! There will always be the "staple" elements of flowers and leaves and staples and buttons and such. What I love about the digi-scrap world is that there are so many different takes on such things! I think what really set this off for me was seeing a few posts that said Scrap Orchard only had designers that were copy cats and basically had no talent. That made me mad because I LOVE all the designers at SO and think they ooze talent. Yes, to each their own, but I think it's rude to say something so degrading and hurtful. That being said I'm PROUD to be a CTM for Scrap Orchard and think the designers there are FABULOUS! I'm done with my rant, that probably won't be read as I have few readers, and that's that. I'm disappointed to see the uglier side of scrapping but I still love it! I'll be back soon with some exciting news. I have some stuff to show off but photobucket is dying on me. :(

Ridiculously lazy!

Sorry girls! I haven't blogged in weeks! I don't have that freebie I promised (sorry) but I do have some exciting news! I was asked to stay on as a permanent CT member for Sunshine Studio Scraps! Do you see my pretty blinkie at the side? I MADE IT! Lol! I discovered how fun it is to make blinkies... so I volunteered to make them for all the Sweeties, as Amanda, who was making them before, lost access to her computer. :( Did you girls attend the Grand Opening? It was tons of fun and we gave away lots of prizes!

More exciting news... I was also asked to be on the Site CT for Scrap Orchard, though I'm now more of a Gal Friday than a CTM. LOL!

I have a bunch of stuff going on, most notably blinkie-making for a bunch of my CTs and YEARBOOK SIGNING! It's the end of the school year and I'm running around trying to get all the yearbooks signed.

Alright. I should get back to work! I'll try to be a more reliable blogger!!
