I know you won't like me saying this but it got out of control as far as I'm concerned and unfortunately became a who can outdo who for SOME members.
This could be a really fun event if a certain amount was really spent, a see who could get what from where...
I know this is controversial here, but I'm again speaking my peace regarding this. I've had people ask me to join. If I'm told $40 to spend that's what I would spend...now who wants to be my buddy? Infact, I couldn't and wouldn't go above that.
Now some of you will come here and say awww, no its the thought that counts etc., I say baloney...I've seen the behind the scenes chatter....and I've seen the fights over it.
So this is my 2 cents on this matter. |
Lynzy, I hate this is the way you feel. I hope that you can talk with these other people and the will come here to express their feelings, thoughts, and opinions so that it can be addressed.
Here's my plan for the next GE and my first. I plan on spending $125ish on items not including shipping and a teaser or 2. This will not include things that I might make that might have more value or something I get on sale.
If you wouldn't like to be my buddy b/c of my plan... just PM Admin and tell them you have me on ignore.
BUT with saying that if I get a really good friend of mine on YT... I can't keep this plan b/c my heart will be somewhere else.
But if you wanna be my buddy... Crimson does have a nice wishlist growing & I will share! HA! <--This is really a joke!
