What does it take

for people to sit back and think about what is going on around them? And for that matter why is everyone so adamant that AK is innocent in all this? Somehow I think the people opening paypal tickets against her as well as all those who are coming forward with similar experinces must have truth to it all, otherwise why would they all be commenting about what they have lost to this woman?

Oh, wait, I get it, everyone must be in on it! It's a conspiracy to take down one woman! It must be! Why else would everyone secrectly ban together and decide to ruin her? Damn, I missed out. Maybe I should learn how to make something so I can say I was taken in too and be in on the game!

Wake up morons! People who have dealt with her first hand can't all be conspiring against her surely they must be right!

And these constant changes in the story are hilarious. First off, she closed it, then opened it again, then it was hacked, then it is sold? HAHAH Hilarious! Which is it? It can't be all of them!

I always try and speak FOR those who have been wronged, and for the taggers and scrap taggers, because they need a place to fit in the design world too, and funny thing is you don't see the traditional scrappers out there bitching, just the taggers! Goes to show you the bad side of things doesn't it?

Either way, people stop bitching at me because of this mess, I didn't make it, lol And I have only spoken the truth about things I have SEEN with my own eyes, not here say.

Get a life of your own and a hobby for petes sake, lol

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

In defense of tag scrappers

Ok, I have followed all the drama of course. What else am I to do while confined to the couch, lol

I'm gonna weigh in on my thoughts about all this mess. First off, tag scrappers. I don't think everyone should be calling them names, or saying they cannot design, because honestly some of the tag scrappers have gorgeous kits, and they meet the need of the taggers out there who want the kits to use, so therefore in my mind, tag scrappers have as much right to be called designers as traditional scrappers do. For that matter, the tag scrappers have to make their kits full size and resize them especially for the tagger to use, and some of them actually sell both sides, and make good money at doing it.

So to be so harsh in your comments about tag scrappers is wrong. Give them a break, they design, they design with the tagger in mind and just because some of you would not buy a tagger kit, doesn't mean someone else feels the same.

Now then, on to the rest of the drama. I've seen the mess about Amanda, and now the comments about Amber, and if some of you remember a few weeks ago I posted all about Amanda and my thoughts about it as well as some one posting the very same copies of emails that were stuck in comments here, but yet I received all sorts of hell for letting the comments stand at the time, but now there is a new blog all about the nasty transgressions of Amanda and of course, it's the right thing to do to make the public aware of what has happened.

I've been accused of being Drama Queen, of Drama Queen Designs, and I am not her, nor anyone who actually tags, scraps, designs or anything crafty at all, lol I just sit back and watch the drama unfold and offer my thoughts, and right now my thoughts say that I am sick and tired of the holier than thou attitudes of those who are sticking by the nastiness going on! How can any of you sit there and offer defense of the actions that have went on? Doesn't it even occur to you to wonder just why so many people have come forward with the same stories of not receiving their products? Do you not wonder in the back of your mind if you have been cheated by these people and don't know it?

How can you sit there and say she is right when she lied? Lied about why her store was being moved, tried to ruin a mans livlihood by lying about him, lied to her designers about him and why they wer emissing money, kicked designers out of her store because they opened their own store, and who knows what else? How is that right? What does she have that makes you follow her like puppies after their master believing every word she spouts off? And believe me, it isn't slander if it's true and with all the paypal tickets being opened against this woman for being bogus in her sales pitch, it's going to come to a head and then where will you holier than thou supporters be left standing? Alone! That's where.

It seems odd that her store has closed, due to hacking? Not likely when it was supposedly a secure site! Mighty convenient that it gets "hacked" right when this mess comes to a head. And on top of it, Amanda was removed from digiscrapdepots new store going in too, makes you wonder why doesn't it? And now Amber trying to open up yet another store when the first one failed? She couldn't afford to keep it open, how does she plan to keep this one up?

Either way, I speak for the little people as always, and right now everyone who has been wronged by this woman is definately the little people! I hope you all get your money back and justice for the wrong doings of this woman!

Ok now, good points, bad points

Well, I must say that it seems there is a brand new touchy subject out there in the digi scrap world, and it seems to hit upon quite a few raw nerves. I have to say I agree and I disagree with you. Let me tell you why. First off, I do have to say it seems that everyone comes out of the woodwork during the holidays all spouting off about who needs a charity kit done, who needs the money for this or that reason, and after awhile it does grate on ones nerves because no matter what anyone says, no one truly knows if these "charity" kits are truly legit. Why do they only come out during the holidays? I don't feel comfortable buying any product online that goes for charity unless it comes from a legit site that I can actually truthfully verify. I know over there in the states you people have Shriners, War Veterens, and who knows what else that are actually legit corporations that need your help, and the Shriners have helped a family member who lives in the states, my sister to be exact who has a child with a birth disorder that the Shriners have been helping. She lives on military benefits while her husband is in Iraq, and that certainly doesn't cover medical expenses, so of course that charity gets what I can give it too.

But when it comes to all these different people who toss out their sob stories of a life gone wrong, diseases, disorders, and what have you, how do we honestly know that this is true? How do we know the money actually goes to these people and what they do with it? We don't. We only have whatever the person gathering the money tell us. There are so many places out there in the world that can help a person in their time of need, without them all turning to people online to help them out. Even though are very generous and kind hearted souls out there, none of us know what is the truth. How many generous souls have given money to people only for it to be spent on something wasteful?

So when it comes down to charity, I can see all of your points, and can see both sides of the coin. I personally choose not to give to people online who post their stories, not because I think they don't need help, because I'm sure they do, but because I don't know if their story is true or not. I have enough in my own life to pay for health care, my kids, my home, and day to day living without wondering what that faceless person with a sad story is really going to do with the money they get.

Go ahead, discuss it, leave your points, both good and bad, I'd like to hear them since you brought it up in comments.

Well now...

Huh. I swear you take a break while and you come back to floods of emails. I'm not going to address anything tonight, but I'm going to say a certain woman who has been on here before for her fits is again back in the scrap limelight for allegedly stealing her designers payouts. No clue if she is, but after everything that has been posted about this woman before, who knows. All I can say is why? These women trust you and want to sell in your stores and especially this time of year they could use the extra cash and to find this woman refuses to give what she owes to her designers is appalling. The email is making it's rounds in several groups, and honestly, people need to wise up and check out where they try to sell their products. *HUGS* to the little lady who had to deal with this mess, and I hope you get it lined out honey, your designs are beautiful and you deserve to be paid properly for what you sold.

For those of you who have emailed me all those smack blog links, thanks, it's given me some much needed laughter during my forced bed rest, lol time and again it's the same people being called out and then being found out to not have done anything wrong!

The well wishers, thank you!! Baby and I are doing much better, the swelling has gone down, I'm allowed out of bed a little more each day now, but not much! We've gotten my blood pressure stabilized as well as my sugar levels, so finally on the right track!

Oh, store owners need to be aware, there is someone going around again buying massive amounts of items and then doing chargebacks, plus having many e checks declined, as well as being investigated for fraud! So beware!!

Until I'm able to be online more, take care and Happy Holidays!! I'd say Merry Christmas, but you'd be surprised how many people don't like that!!!! It's still Christmas to me!
