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. |
Please, again, keep in mind that this is not to point fingers at any one issue. I don't think that is what this is about. It is about making suggestions for the GE. Not to target one person. There has been more than this incident in past GE's. So it is not to focus on the current one. But to simply provide member input on how to make the GE's better.
