The new format of 4-shared sucks. To leave a comment, you have to scroll down. Please do so, or leave it here on the blog. (I really like that, then I know when you leave one). Since this is the only form of compensation that I receive, I do tend to look forward to the ego boost that your kind words provide. I really wish someone would fill me in on why if a file that you are downloading is more than a day or two old that you don't feel the need to acknowledge the fact that you have received a gift. This is the reason that download links will be expiring on my blog. I don't care if the file is two minutes or two years old, people should have the courtesy to say thank you, not just to me, but from any designer that you download from! A few words go a long way towards making a designer's day!

Just a Little Update
Busy, busy, busy!!! It's getting down to crunch time on the third quarter, so things are a little hairy around here. I have a couple of things in the works, and I just got KimB's big 'ole fabulous commercial grab bag today, and new actions from Atomic Cupcake, so I will have plenty of stuff to keep me busy. For the immediate future, everything about my blog will stay the same. The ids are still leaving anonymous comments on 4shared, but now they are using different names and being really sappy and snarky. For the time being, I am doing as so many suggested and just deleting them and going on. I think that we will just try to get over this nasty little event and go on about our business. Maybe the idiots will just get tired and go away. I can only hope. LOL!!! The enrolling on Google won't work because it is limited to 100 readers and I won't leave any of my sweet regular readers with their nose pressed up against the glass! I really don't want to go the subscription route, because that would mean more work for me, and I have also decided that I shouldn't let a few incredibly stupid people dictate the way I manage my blog. Just to make it clear, if I do decide to go subscription, there will be no charge, I never intended to make money from this, I don't need it, and that would make it seem too much like a job! I already have a job that I can barely keep up with! I have compiled a list of everyone that would subscribe if it comes down to that, and I will post an official notice if I do decide to go in that direction. Ya'll have a good night.
Hugs,
Vicki

October QP
Today for your scrapping pleasure I have a page I created with the October Color kit. The only thing that is not included in the kit is the chicky charm (and wide eyed Lilly, of course!) Ya'll should know me by now, I always end up with stuff after the fact! I made the charm using a really cool new action from Deb @ http://thescrappincop.blogspot.com/ She has a lot of terrific stuff on her blog, pop on over a take a look around. Be sure to tell her I sent 'ya, and leave some love if you download. Password is: chick I have scrapped this photo before, but I just couldn't resist using it again. The wide eyed look of innocence on Lilly's face combined with the incriminating cake crumbs just cracks me up everytime I see it.

What do we say?

Putting on the Glitz
Well, The Temptations were FABULOUS!!! I was right in front of the stage and got to shake hands with every member! How cool is that?!?!?! Needless to say, I was very hoarse yesterday from all of the singing and woo-hooing! LOL!!! I did take pictures, but they are on Mom's camera and I didn't have my laptop with me, so it will probably be next week before I can post some.
Now for Vicki's http://vicki20.blogspot.com/ new kit, "Putting on the Glitz". This is a collab kit with fellow CT members Mel and Charlie. Visit each one's blog everyday this week to collect the whole thing. Be sure to leave them some love! Password is: fun 4shared has been a real booger this morning, but I finally got it uploaded! Enjoy!
Todays gift: expired
Remember?
Hugs,
Vicki

TGIF!!!
I am so glad that Friday is finally here! I am going to try to get out of here early for a change, so I can go home and pack my bag. I am taking my Mom to go see the Temptations this weekend! My tickets are supposed to be somewhere in the first three rows, so it should be awesome! Yep, you can bet that I will be singing "Sugar Pie Honey Bunch" and "My Girl" at the top of my lungs!
Hope everyone has a great weekend! See ya'll Monday.
Hugs,
Vicki

Vicki, you say you place a great value on manners, but your negative attitude & nasty mouth says otherwise. Never have I visited such an unfriendly blog as yours! It doesn't sound like your having fun at all, now does it? There are a lot more appreciative designers out there. Guess what...it's not all about you!! Shame on you!!!
To: lulabell&wafers
I only get a bad attitude when people such as you post crap like this. If you think I have a nasty mouth, you must have been raised in a convent. I don't recall inviting you to my blog, and if you perceive it as unfriendly, maybe you won't be back. I can't understand what a designer would have to appreciate from ungrateful grab and run people such as you. I have plenty of fun till I have to put up with such self-important, everyone owes me something idiots such as you. And yes, it IS all about me. This is MY blog and these are MY designs. And one last thing, YOU are the one that should be ashamed. You downloaded my stuff , insulted me, and still didn't say thank you.
What is this? Bash Vicki week? I haven't had such a problem with this crap till some people started posting my blog on "freebie" sites without my permission. We had our own little special group of regulars here and that is exactly how I like it. I don't want my blog to be one that gets thousands of hits. My blog is NOT a freebie site. It is my little place on the web to say what I want about whatever subject I choose, and to share some of my creations with friends.
If I go to subscription on Blogger, it is limited to 100 readers, and you must have a Google identity. Another option is to have a monthly password for the readers that ask to be a part of my group, kind of like JanniDee, but I won't charge a fee.
I will ponder this, and my friends are welcome to let me know what they would prefer.
Don't PANIC! None of ya'll regulars are gonna miss anything! I so look forward to what you have to say everyday, and I do appreciate each and every one of you. This is just to stop the anonymous BS from the grab & runs.

Tiresome? Don't Have Time? WTH?

Saying thank you seems to many like an easy thing to do. Yet sometimes, as in the case of the huge amount of digital freebies offered, saying it repeatedly can be quite tiresome. However, it doesn't mean we aren't appreciative of what is offered. Being encouraged to say thank you should not be commanded nor drawn by guilt; it should come freely. Only then will it be appreciated for its full value. I am always thankful for the beautiful gifts offered, but do not always have the time to "say" than...
To: junoBBC
Let me tell you about tiresome. Work for ten hours on the computer at work, then go home and spend a few hours more on the computer to create digital scrapbooking stuff. I go to the extra expense and take the extra TIME involved to offer my creations as gifts. To be honest, I do not have the TIME to do this, and I don't HAVE to do this, but I FIND the time and DO share. I do not think that I am being unreasonable in expecting just a 2 second "TY" as an acknowledgement for my TIME & MONEY that I spend so you don't have to.
How do I know you are thankful and appreciative if you can't take the TIME to SAY something.
And another thing, don't tell me how to post on my blog. This is MY blog. You post your way on your own blog.
I am seriously considering taking my blog to subscription only to stop this kind of crap.
Do NOT jack with The Bubbles. If you don't like it around here, don't let the door hit you in your ass on the way out. Go take your precious TIME and make your own stuff.
