Comment Moderation

Good Morning Stampers,

This is Kim. I apologize to all stampers who visit this blog for fun and inspiration but here goes. I got up to find an unkind comment left by a person criticizing this blog and my creativity. Wouldn't you know it, I can't respond to her because there's no link to her blog or e-mail so I am responding right here. I do not participate in many challenges all over the internet so when I named this blog Tuesday Throwdown it was because it was a continuation of what I did on my stamping blog over a year ago and TT just because it sounds good. This blogger thinks I am not creative enough to come up with a better name. With all the stuff going on with me, this is just not what I need right now. It is sad that there are those who go around criticizing bloggers. I was hoping that I wouldn't have to turn on comment moderation since this blog is all about fun, but due to this person, comment moderation is on so that you can come visit and not have to deal with this.

Hugs ~ Kim

Hi. My name is stef h. I live in sandwich, Illinois – a funny little place right after plano and bologny, Illinois! Which gives you…. Plano bologny sandwich! JUST KIDDING – about the bologny part anyway! I really do live in SANDWICH and it really is right after PLANO!
You may have seen me in blogland where I am known as glitterbabe. Sometimes, the lampshade lady! Don’t matter. I answer to both – lol. i have been a crafter going on 10 years now and am still trying to figure out where the time has gone. I was introduced to stamping back in 2001 when I was invited to my very first stampin up party. And, as they say, the rest is history. I am married to a wonderful man going on 17 years. He is my best critic and pushes me to my limits. When he heard all the talk about digital stamps he encouraged me to “doodle”. After many hours of practice I decided to put my “doodles” out there and opened my shop. I strive for quality product and work hard to give my very best. I have tons of fun with it and I hope you do too!
