I was worried my gifts didn't suffice and was new to the idea of teaser gifts, smilebox, YT vendors, and so forth. Luckily I am a quick learner and somewhat a perfectionist so I was able to pull it through but not without a few scrapes in the process.
 At one point Tessa's buddy was worried that I didn't like the gifts but in reality I needed more time to prepare a proper thank you presentation to show my gratitude (this was within a matter of 1-2 days). I invested a lot of time into this GE and was bummed that some members did not give me the patience or benefit of the doubt that I needed. But of course I gave it my best both ways and later was not too concerned how I was going to be received.
 
 Sadly life happens to people. I just hope nothing went wrong on the other end for Deb lest we are wrong in our assumptions. I'm sure it wasn't intentional. Lets be concern and reserve our judgement rather than speaking ill of something that hasn't yet come to light. Just my 2 cents.

It's clear, from your last paragraph, that you don't know the full story......  
It is what it is.... It's in Admins hands....  I am moving on......  
I have more important things to focus on.
