Happy Birthday Daddy.
my father..who loved me unconditionally,who showed me by example,what it meant to be a loving,caring and thoughtful person. I never heard him say a mean thing about anyone. He was the shining example of  what a husband , and father should be. Every man I met had to "meet" the bar he set. He was a Southern Gentleman to the core;his family was his life.
My mom always said " if you asked your father for a star in the sky,he would look for the tallest ladder to reach it". 
Well, Daddy..i wish there was a ladder tall enough to reach Heaven. I miss you..but I don't grieve...it is I who was left behind. you have Mom and Jan with you. You are where your heart went,the day Mom died. Happy Birthday Daddy!! Thank you for always believing in me,loving me and letting me make mistakes and being there to help "fix"them!!. I always felt loved,secure and safe. You were,and always will be,my hero.

It took me all day to be able to write this post. My father was quite simply the best. I was his daughter from the moment the adoption agency told him they had twin girls available. I can't remember a time that he ever raised his voice to me. He taught by example. I'm sure he was no saint..but in my eyes he was!!
I was blessed to be his daughter.
Until I take my last breath..i will forever be thankful that I was his daughter.

WELL...PERSONAL EMAILS HELP!!

FINALLY......SENT EMAIL TO HER PERSONAL ACCOUNT(HAD IT FROM A YAHOO GROUP)...DOUBLE CHECKED MY CELL PHONE..YEP,IT WAS HER PHONE NUMBER ON THE STORE CONTACT US PAGE. 
YOU KNOW..THERE ARE TONS OF WEB STORES ...CUSTOMER SERVICE IS IMPORTANT...HOW COME SHE DOESN'T CHECK FOR ORDERS? IF SHE "REALLY" DIDN'T GET MY EMAILS,PERHAPS SHE NEEDS TO TALK WITH WHOEVER DOES HER STORE EMAILS. REALLY CRAPPY CUSTOMER SERVICE IF YOU ASK ME!  WHEN THE EMAIL ORDER CONFIRMATION COMES..AT THE BOTTOM IT SAYS,IF YOU HAVE AMY QUESTIONS, PLEASE RESPOND TO THIS EMAIL....SO,THE EMAIL ADDRESS WILL SEND CONFIRMATION OF MY ORDER,BUT SHE DOESN'T ANSWER THE REPLY EMAILS?...JUST SAYIN'...........! 
BELOW IS THE RESPONSE i GOT ABOUT AN HOUR AFTER MY  EMAIL......
 Hi Ann

I am sorry I never did get an email from you. Ill have to look at my account and see what's going on. I'm not sure who you talked to but I never got a call either?! I'm stumped!

If you log into your account you can access your downloads via the downloads link in your account. If you are still having trouble email me back at this email address! 

Sorry for all these troubles I just got the site up on the day you ordered and it was completely up and running. 

I'VE WAITED SO LONG,IT'S BEEN SUCH AN UNPLEASANT EXPERIENCE,THAT IT MAY BE AWHILE BEFORE I USE THE IMAGES. JUST LEFT THE PROVERBIAL "BAD TASTE IN MY MOUTH".
DIGITAL DOWNLOADS SHOULDN'T TAKE MORE THAN 24-48 HRS AT THE LONGEST....OR,AM I WRONG?


Question.....

1.when you order a downloadable product..pay with paypal and paypal confirms payment has been made......how long do you feel is a reasonable amt. of time to wait for the download to be available?
2. how many emails do you think you should have to send before you get a reply?
3. how many "contact us" forms do you think you need to fill out before getting a reply?

1.......it's been 5 days!
2.......at least 4
3.......at least 3
thats what I've done.

is it okay that i am getting pissed off? 
have not ordered from this "person" for some time, but the have brought back some images that I loved,in digital format..don't have to have the sheets mailed!
i have sent my last communication ...i think i'm being nice when i gave her 48 hours to respond.
no response...i will contact paypal.
then,i will share the name of the person/store/company with all of you ..as poor customer service is not ok!
there is even a phone number to call...called it..got an answer,asked for the person and said "Is M------ there, I'm calling about an order I placed on the 1st of April that I haven't received"..i was told "yes,hold on" ..then my call was disconnected.aaarrggghhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
hope everyone is having a great weekend!!!

Sharing the newsletter from Moonlight Journey!!!!..HIGHLIGHT THE TEXT SO YOU CAN READ IT!!!

HIGHLIGHT THE TEXT SO YOU CAN READ IT!!!..I COPIED AND PASTED FROM THE EMAIL.......THANKS STACY FOR LETTING ME KNOW!!
April Fools is known as a day filled with hoaxes, gags and good humored fun. It is the season for renewal and new beginnings. The closest point in time that can be identified as the beginning of this tradition was in 1582, in France. Prior to that year, the new year was celebrated for eight days, beginning on March 25. The celebration culminated on April 1. With the reform of the calendar under Charles IX, the Gregorian Calendar was introduced, and New Year's Day was moved to January. However, communications being what they were in the days when news traveled by foot, many people did not receive the news for several years. Others, the more obstinate crowd, refused to accept the new calendar and continued to celebrate the new year on April 1. These backward folk were labeled as "fools" by the general populace. They were subject to some ridicule, and were often sent on "fools errands" or were made the butt of other practical jokes. This harassment evolved, over time, into a tradition of prank-playing on the first day of April.

Why would we share this with you….some may say we are fools! Fools we may be…. BUT....
This is NOT a practical joke We are going to run a contest! For every order made from April 1st through April 10th we will be putting the persons name in to a so called hat and
1 winner will be chosen through random.org to win a $10.00 gift certificate for anything on the site! Forward this to your friends if they make a purchase they will be entered also! NO JOKE!


April and spring go hand in hand. April showers bring May flowers. April is a month filled with bright and beautiful things! And April is the month to create create create! OK we made that up this is a JokeAny month is good for creating! Let us help you with one or two or three of our collage sheets, classes, craft projects and more!

For your enjoyment and inspiration here are some wonderful new images from our design team members and don’t forget to check more of their work out on Flickr like us on Facebookand follow us there. We post artwork, videos, tutorials and any comments are always welcome!
