I woke up to the worst emai!
and .... before I go any further .......
If I failed you this year .... I am SORRY!
I know ..those people are not reading this blog ...but still I got it off my chest!!
My family will always come first!!
Do people really expect anything less?
What is it with this time of year that people have to take their anger out on someone ..... if you're thinking about chewing someone out ... please wait just 24 hours and if you still feel that way the next day then by all means do it.
I get anger .... and disappointment ...I regularly disappoint myself .... but .... to be mean to someone after the year I've had .... I'll never understand! Who does that?
What is that saying? ... kicking a dog when it's down ...awful!
Since I'm apologizing I'm sorry I haven't updated this blog ... having Bella is such a blessing .... but almost like having an infant. I'm not complaining ....but combine that with working again and the holidays ... WOW!
Talk about running on full steam. My 12 Days of Christmas is going very well and the positive response was just what I needed. (That is until it came crashing down today with two nasty emails from the same person.)
Oh well, I'll try to do something fantastic for someone this week and that will lift me back up.
That reminds me ...Father Breen would always say ... Go spend time with your family and do something nice for someone today. I always loved when he said that ... I'd like to finish my post by saying the same thing...
Go do something nice for someone today!!
xoxo

People can be SO rude! And email just seems to make it worse somehow because people feel free to say things they would never say in person because it feels so anonymous. I agree to the taking of 24 hours. Or instead of sending an email, make a simple phone call. Sometimes just hearing the other person's voice can give more humanity to a situation and turn around your feelings completely.
ANYWAY! I am so glad that you are having fun with little Miss Bella. She is adorable and I can just tell that she can be a handful. She's a puppy after all!
Enjoy your Christmas and try not to let the mean people get you down.
So sorry you had to deal with that, Angie! Just remember with people like that...the problem is much more with HER than with YOU! You just happened to be the one that it got taken out on :(
Love reading your blogs...Hope 2012 brings you a better year!
Melanie
HI Angie,
I like hearing about things in your life. It's not mandatory that you post something everyday and that person should realize that. You opening your heart to strangers and some how this makes us feel like we personaly know you. I visit your blog everyday and sometimes more than that just to see what is going on . I like the ideas that you come up with and how personable you are. Family should be first and people should learn to slow down a little and enjoy family togetherness.
Everything is evolving around electronics-what happened to good old family gatherings other than holidays and family meals instead of on the go take outs?
Bussiness doesn't have to run 24/7.
For every mean thing that is said you've got 100 "atta girl"s that thank you for what you've done. I for one am amazed you've been able to keep up with everything you've been through. We all get encouraged by your bravery and perserverance. Keep up the good work----and 'stay' well!!
Oh, Angie, I'm so sorry you had to deal with those emails. You are such an amazing person; I don't know how anyone could criticize you for anything. Of course your family comes first, how could anyone think differently? I'm always amazed at how much you do, despite the year you've had. You are the last person to deserve being treated poorly. I love reading all of your blogs and pray for you all the time. I'm so glad Miss Bella came into your life. You deserve some happiness.
I'm sorry you had to deal with a rude or angry email. You do so much for us, sharing your talent in your wonderful videos. I can't tell you how many times I go back to a video and work through one of your projects. People think I'm a genius - when it's really YOU! LOL I respect that you put your family first. I believe that it's the way that God intended. And I know you've apologized when you haven't had the energy or physical stamina to post. I don't always respond to those postings, but I believe if you are going to be able to have anything left to give to others, you first have to take care of yourself. There should be no need to have to apologize. You don't OWE me, for goodness sake! Anyway, that being said, I'll say that this past August, I was diagnosed with lymphoma. For the last few months, I've been dealing with chemotherapy, blood tests, doctor's appointments, and side effects of chemotherapy. Guess waht? God has promised He'll never leave me nor forsake me. THAT'S important. The fact that someone feels disappointed or upset, I feel sure has more to do with something going on within that person than anything you did or didn't do. I know you don't need me to tell you what to do, but I honestly believe you give of your best to everyone and I wouldn't waste another minute fretting over it. God has blessed you with a wonderful family, a new little furbaby, His Son that we praise daily and remember His birth this time of year. Do your best not to let the rest of it bother you. We know what's important and we try to be all He wants us to be. As long as He is pleased with you, the rest doesn't matter. You're the best, Angie, and don't let anyone tell you differently!
What a shame you would receive such an email!!! If only they could show a little kindness and respect for your circumstances this past year!! Some peope just have nothing better to do!! I hope you know how many people are so blessed by what you do and how you share your life with women that support and pray for you. Surround yourself with thoughts of the ones that genuinely care about you and all you have been through this year!!!
Blessings to you and your family for this Christmas and in the New Year!
Ok...I'm upset! This is the second blog I've read where the writer has had to endure rude and obnoxious emails. But my Angie?!? Wait just a minute there, bud. And really, after ALL this poor woman has gone through and after all she gives to us??? I'm pissed!!!
Now...don't you even consider thinking about that b#@%$ for one more second. You focus on you, your family, and your new baby! By golly, it's Christmas for pete's sake!
That being said...I am enjoying the 12 days SOOOO much and have already placed an order to re-ignite my stamping passion. I'll admit I fell off the wagon a bit while you were gone (only because YOU got me soooo into quilting!!!!lol!) but I am ready to stamp again! I'm doing little name tag place favours and want to colour a card too!
You know how much I love you Angie and thank you for all you do. I hope 2012 is wayy better for you. So ignore the idiots and remember the big majority of us who treasure you!!!!!!!
Glad you felt you could vent and I'm upset that anyone would gripe at you for not doing more. Totally amazed at all that you've managed to do, even being sick and through Chase's surgery and loss of your dear little dogs. Love that you have little Bella now and I can already see that you are almost all the way back to your old self. I've not been to my fave stamping blogs for a while, but I will get caught up.
