I just wanted you guys to know how thankful I am for all of you. You really are a wonderful group! This group really is a jewel among all the groups out there. This summer I have had alot more time on my hands and have been bathing in everything scrapbook related. I have been reading alot of other scrap groups to gain new insites and learn new tecniques and such. I don't post on those boards though because, honestly, I have no desire to know anyone there. There is alot of fighting and bickering that you have to weed through to get to the informative posts. There are even posts belittling anothers work, or techniques. It is just sad. People get upset if someone posts OT, or an AD for something they are selling. It just makes for such an unfriendly invironment.
I have been posting here for hmmm....4 years I think? and I don't remember 1 fight. No one has EVER belittled anothers work, or said they don't like the technique someone used. Everyone is so friendly and helpful. We enjoy the OT posts because we are all friends here. We share our entire lives and that is what makes it so warm to come here. I feel at home.. I never hesitate to post because I know that I am safe, and will not be judged. I never hesitate to join a swap that I will enjoy. There are people in other groups that are afraid to join ( and I would be too ) because so many have been berated for their " less than perfect entries". That is just so horrible!
Anyway, I have been thinking about this alot lately. Today as I was reading another board, a particular post just pushed my button and I had to get it all out. LOL.
I just wanted you all to know how appreciated you are...and how lucky we all are to be part of such a wonderful and rare group.
Love you all Azzy
