Okay Melissa and Kimberlee... you both have had your fun with me today so
why don't you both just act like I don't exist and *DELETE* anything that
has my name on it. If I am that big of a bitch and whinner, then why the
hell do you read my post?? Misery loves company I guess...
Now, I will leave you both alone, so please do the same to me.. I have to
find a life and you two aren't helping............

Isn't it funny how things turn out.
To Ann's SS, I think you can see here that you have the support
of a lot of the list members. I hope your hurt feelings heal
soon. It is too bad that this had to happen and I know from the
personal messages that I got from list members today that there
are a lot of members who are thinking of you and your feelings
right now. Be Happy!
Melissa (darling!), You go girl! it's about time someone said it
like it is. Im tired of seeing people dragged down on this list.
Ann, you know my feelings about you.

Judy asked: <<So -- why do people play? I'm curious.>
- ----------------------------
Probably because people like to get surprises and presents. Maybe they
hope to get something wonderful they'd never think to get for themselves
or never find in the first place? Maybe because people like getting
mysterious stuff in the mail?
I never joined up because I usually have to count up my pennies as it is
to get the stuff I want to get, and also because of the deadbeat posts I
read about. I can't be that selfless that I could join up and not care
if I didn't get stuff from my SS. I know I would feel badly if I was
neglected.
So instead there are a couple few people I occasionally send odd stuff
to, whether its a little extra of this or that that I have, or stamped
new images on cardstock, or directions and samples of some new trick I've
learned. And they do the same for me. But the major plus is that the
stuff is sent from both ends *without any expectation*, without any
amount requirements, and without any deadline. If I wanna send you a
rudely funny thingie I made just for laughs, I do, and don't expect
anything from you in return (other than acknowledgement that it arrived).
And if I'm in a creative void for a while, no one gets upset.
And by the way, thank you for that last bit from you, that photo is
**adorable**!!!!
I guess what we do is just another form of RAKing. And I also think
that's why the RAKing has become so popular; its purely the pleasure of
no obligation sending.
IMHO,
Feathers

As I said, I am new to stamping. I love angel stamps, christmas
stamps most of all. I really started stamping just to send my own
christmas cards. However, this is a very addictive art. Hopefully,
some day I will be an expert and people will enjoy my work.

Thanks to all for taking part in this -- and new people, we're delighted
you have joined us and we look forward to getting to know you
