Time to straighten it out.....
There have been a couple of issues with some members of Embellished. There are alot of versions going around that are not true. There were communication breakdowns and it has been blown out of proportion. I refuse to get into details, as I think that is not moral or ethical....however remember there is 2 sides to every story and you are only getting one side. There have been swearing,abusive and horrible things said to me, that of couse go unmentioned on other versions of this situation.
To think that part of the problem to start with was who we chose for our Design Team,and me not having enough time to comment on everyone's layouts in the gallery. I apologise for this as we have been extremely busy and the day just gets away from me....
I do not have to justify why we chose who we did for the DT...Each and every designer we chose offers a different and unique style who are always able to try new ideas. They have shown they play an active role on the website both in the forum and gallery.
I hope this may have cleared some grey patches up for you. I never wanted for it to go this far and I didn't want to have to post anything on my blog, unfortunately my name is being mentioned and too many lies are being told. This is slanderous and if it doesn't stop I will be left with no option but to seek legal advise. At no time were individuals named , however my name is being posted publically.
Sorry to have to mention all this.

Oh No Ali,
This sounds terrible! I'm soo sorry that you have been having this much trouble, had no idea that anyone was even saying anything :(
Hope you are able to get it all sorted. You, Glenn, Julie and all the DT girls are doing such a wonderful job with that site, and it's really sad to hear people trying to tear down all your hard work!
I am so sorry your having to deal with all this ali, chin up and stay strong!
Well i really dont know whats going on - But sorry you are going through it Ali - Hope it makes you feel a little better to know that i LOVE your site - Embellished is an awesome place to chat, scrap and shop!!
Hope all the nastiness goes away real quick! Dont let it get to you!
Unfortunately Ali, you can only control how you act - not how others act. Some people think it's OK to swear and curse and yell - there is NEVER a good reason for it. It's just poor self control pure and simple.
I'm a strong believer in judging people on how they treat you, not on what is said about them. And people that know you, and have met you, know that you are a good soul, without a mean, vindictive bone in your body. Being able to post this without naming ANYONE is a testament to this. Being able to have this sort of thing happen, and keep it out of the forum shows your maturity and good sense.
Ignore them - they'll go away ;)
Oh Ali, How upsetting for you.
Please keep up the great work and be strong.
Take care
Cherie
Oh Ali, just know that you are better then all of that!
Hi Ali,
Chin up and stay strong! Look on the bright side of all this.You now know who your real friends are.
Friends should support you no matter what.
Keep up the great work!!
This will all blow over soon.

As Julie has said Chin up. You are right, there is always two sides to every story...somewhere in the middle is thr truth. Believe in yourself & you will grow from this.
Hugs to you Ali. You are doing a great job with the site and have made it a fun and happy place to be.
Hey Ali
As all have said chin up, stay strong...as you can see you have a lot of friends around here...
Have a great day
Joanne
