Sad Blog News

I have given this decision much thought and consideration...but due to so much going on in my life at this time...I have decided to give up my Win A Free Card blog at this time... I am hoping that in the future I will get to begin it again.... maybe God is just sending me in a different direction at this time.

I will however keep my regular card blog and plan on posting there on a regular basis...Please visit me  there by clicking 
 Here.

A special Thank You to all who have supported me in this for the last 100 week... I have so enjoyed mailing my cards literally all over the world... hugs to each and every one of you.

Hugs
Jeannie

OH Jeannie,
I know that this was a very difficult decision. Let me one of your followers to tell you "Thank you" for the last 100 weeks. I am sure that for those that had the chance to win your card it was such a gift. As for me I enjoyed entering each week in hopes of winning a card. I admire your work as I am sure that I am one of many. Absolutely family comes first and hope that soon you will be able to come back to this blog. Thank you so much for the chance to win every week for since I have started entering.
Many hugs!!!!!!!!

Jeannie! I understand your decision and trust that you know that what you said is true...God IS telling you to take a break and focus on those things you need to focus on. You are an AMAZING inspiration and have more talent in your pinky then I have in my whole body. Take care of you and your loved ones, and come back when this season of your life passes! You will be missed!

Jeannie,

We will miss your cards so, God has given you such a spectacular, singular talent! But, one must always trust in the decisions the Lord makes for us, and if he is sending you another direction, it is for a purpose, so walk with confidence in that direction!

Never stop crafting, at least for yourself --

I hope you still share cards with us on the MB when you can.

God Bless,

Alyssa

Beth said...

As hard as it was for you to make this decision, I'm sure that God has chosen for you to start a new chapter in your life that will take where you need to go most. I know you will do it well, cuz that's how you do things. OR, maybe you just need to recharge your creative batteries a little in the mean time with a little less on your plate. I know you will still amaze us with your creations & I will continue to look forward to those.

God Bless & take care!

Laura said...

Military pilot who had sex with an 11 year old boy when he was 17!!!
A JUNIOR IN HIGH SCHOOL WHO HAD SEX WITH AN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL STUDENT!!! He needs to be on a sexual preditor list.

And how long did he masterbate and think about having sex with boys? In boot camp? Into his flight training?

"This person's disturbed." In fact.
You should have seen what he did to his younger brothers from age 5-8.
His peers have interesting things to say about him as well.

I'm impressed, I have to say. Really hardly ever do I encounter a blog that's both educative and entertaining, and let me inform you, you might have hit the nail on the head. Your thought is excellent; the difficulty is something that not sufficient individuals are speaking intelligently about. I am very comfortable that I stumbled across this in my search for something relating to this...Cardsharing Server

I'm glad that God has given you the gift to create a new card .. almost every day ... and inspire us all.

Many thanks,
