Quite a Day...

Well well well... for those of you that know me well, you know my biggest "home away from home" for awhile has been on Scraplovers.com. Today that all came crashing to an end. I will no longer associate myself with a place that is so full of itself it does not recognize the truth if it hit them in the face. For weeks now, I have been very unhappy there. Things just weren't "right." I didn't have much of a clue as to what wasn't right, then I decided to test it... I backed off, I stayed away for days on end. Noone mentioned it... noone asked where I had been, noone cared I wasn't doing my job. At the point someone finally asked... I came back around and shot off a PM to Mackey Stanley and Christina the owner. I let them know how unhappy I had been and clued them in on just a few things I could pinpoint... Mackey then responded to me... albeit kindly to me, I did not realize she was just trying to sweet talk me to keep me around... and to sweeten the deal, she included how she REALLY felt about the Design Team on Scraplovers. It was not pretty... but being as naive as I was at the time, I clung to her thoughts and agreed... boy was that a HUGE mistake on my part. Today things came crashing down at Scraplovers when some of the DT announced they were leaving. Me in my "dumbness" thought that they were leaving because they had had their hands smacked... well, I learned a whole new lesson on that score. What shocked me the most was to learn the TRUE character of someone I had befriended and thought of as a close friend. MAckey showed her true colors in bashing the DT members who left, but trying to glorify the ones remaining... little did they know how Mackey TRUELY felt! Once I had seen the true nature of this beast, I quickly began to defend these people who I had wrongly associated with being the problem. I laid all my cards on the table and posted what Mackey had said about them... no I probably shouldn't have aired the dirty laundry like that, but I felt they had a right to know she was lying to their faces. After this happened I was BANNED from Scraplovers... apparently on that site if your views do not mesh with one Mackey Stanley or Christina you are not welcome... others have left because of her. Others will leave because of her. What will Christina be left with? And empty site. Sad too, cause I did ALL my shopping there... so who wants my business now? I refuse to do business with folks who operate the way they have been operating. I will not go into more detail here for the world to see, but if you ask me privately I will tell you.... ALL comments welcome...
