Can I just point out it , i Janet ,Lin has been doing the Bookmark exchange , My self and Sallie did the Christmas Card Exchange , Last year was the It was Sallie who was ill not me and Lin did not finish of the Christmas Card exchange , I did it all on my own. For the sake of an email this has caused the upset and dividing the group which is not nice.
Janet From: Laura De Bruyn <laura_ros...@yahoo.com> Subject: [lace] Spirit of Christmas I don't post often, but I do read most and take part in as many exchanges as possible. It saddens me to see all this "taking sides" There are always 3 sides to every story - version 1, version 2 and the truth somewhere in between! Firing accusations at each other only increases the hurt on both sides. If I recall correctly, Janet and Lin have been handling the Christmas exchange for a number of years, and it was due to Janet's ill health that Lin "finished the job" last year. Maybe she assumed (as I had) that Janet was still ill. Mistakes are made by all of us...maybe Lin should have conferred via private email before getting the ball rolling, maybe Jenny should have been consulted in relation to use of her site, which may have lead to Janet being contacted.....hindsight is a wonderful thing! Maybe the road forward is to scrap the work done so far, Lin, Janet and Jenny confer privately and decide if they are big enough to forgive and forget. If so, start again. If not, invite someone else to take on the mammoth task of organising Christmas cards to wing their way across the world in the spirit of friendship and love. Can we please accept this, act like grown ups and not spoilt school children and remember what Christmas is all about. Let's just get on with making lace!
