For my message board girlies...

Hi! I've received numerous emails and phone calls asking what happened and if I'm ok. And I'm just fine! I haven't been extremely active on the mb for quite a while, so I figured my departing would pretty much go unnoticed. For those of you who emailed and called - I apologize for not getting back to you before now. We spent the day at the shore yesterday - and now I'm left with a sunburn and a huge pile of sandy laundry.

I'm sorry to disappoint you, but there is no real drama behind it. Being on Lorie's message board was becoming a serious conflict of interest for me because of my online business, which is taking up more and more of my time anyway. I'm aware of the fact that Lorie thinks it's because I did not agree with her TOU, but that couldn't be farther from the truth. The fact is, I was perfectly willing and doing my best to stay within her guidelines, but when I received a PM from her with a warning and a reminder about what I am and am not allowed to do, that pretty much made me realize that I no longer belonged there. Unfortunately, Lorie isn't as friendly in private as she seems to be in public. And the last thing I need is to be tip-toeing around some online community, paranoid that I'm going to break the rules. I've been there and done that before.

So that's that. I'm still around. I'll still be checking email frequently - so feel free to email anytime at jenniferakirk@yahoo.com or you can contact m on the "contact us" page at my website - Cool Blue Scrapbook Store.
