Thankful for All of You

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

Here, here Azzy!!! You said it great and I have to agree w/ you 100%. RCS really is the friendliest place on the web. I miss so many of our past members, but I'm so grateful for all our present members and the newbies too! Keep 'em coming, there's always room for more! Just remember, this place is more than just somewhere to talk about scrappin'; it's where we come to to share our woes, happy times, tears, prayers, OUR LIVES, as well as our hobbies. I'd be so heartsick if for any reason RCS was to ever cease to be. I consider everyone here a dear friend. Thank you all for being a part of this part of my life. See what you did Azzy, now I'm feeling all sentimental. LOL

I so totally agree.... I"m on 4 different boards and 3 of them have bickering, fights, name calling.. one even formed its own group of behind the scenes people so they can talk about people on the board behind their back.. its rediculous... you guys are fantastic.. I know I don't post much but I read everything and pray for you guys and celebrate your successes. I feel like family.

Since I have started watching and posting on this group, I have loved it. It makes me happy that I have found people who share my interest (obsession) in scrapbooking. I couldn't imagine a fight on this board. It would just be counter productive. I come here to have my questions answered, to share my knowledge, and gain the knowledge of everyone else here. In my eyes, everyone has something they can learn from someone else. Azzy, your post really made me think about how happy I am to have found this board. Thank you everyone for making me feel so welcome!

I totally agree Azzy. This wonderful group of ladies are so nice and encouraging. You couldn't have said it better. I left another NG before because I was sick of weeding through all of the arguing and one downright nasty lady that was taking it out on a lady that was really so nice that she left the group. RCS is great and I am glad I found it.

Azzy you are so correct. I tried to find another newsgroup when my server took Recs off but I could find nothing to compare to this group of wonderful ladies! I am so glad to be back.

Azzy - Ditto!!! and to all the comments made by others. RCS is the greatest place to be - we all make the group what it is - and I too am thankful for the friendships I have made here, all the knowledge we have shared and for all the caring and sharing of the trials and tribulations in life. Love to ALL!!

I agree with Azzy, this is the best group. Before I found this group I was on another board which I never posted to because all they did was fight and bicker. You had to go through 20 post if not more to get past the fighting. I understand what you mean. This by far is the best group. I just feel bad that lately I haven't posted being that we are in the process of purchasing our first home and we have been so busy with that. But when things mellow out I will be on here more.

I concur on how friendly this group is. I also am on another group, but it is as friendly and supporting as this one. I've been lucky to avoid too much bickering on the groups I participate in.

Thanks to all of you!
