I just went to my Private Message box and realized that I have a lot of old PMs that I rudely never responded to. I am the first to admit that I am really bad about this. I always intend to respond to my messages, but I always say to myself, "I will do it later." And of course later comes and goes and I still have not responded. So, I beg of each of you...if you have sent me a private message, and I never responded please forgive me. I promise I will try to get better about this. My husband told me (and I hate to admit it but he was right) that if I am not going to take the time to respond to my messages, then I shouldn't upload my pictures. So, if anyone has any questions they have asked me and I didn't respond to, please feel free to resend them to me. Thanks in advance for your understanding.

You're not the only one who does that. I am guilty of the same

I did the same thing. I had corresponded several times with one CCer in particular. She sent me a pm and I read it. I figured I'd respond to it later and forgot. The next message from her wanted to know if I was ok and if I was mad at her. I felt like dirt.

See...you're not the only ones.

Eek! I'd better go check mine!

I think we're all guilty of this be it PM thru CC, emails with folks outside of CC and phone calls. We've all been there and done that, life gets in the way, what are you to do??

I would also like to see you post more. Your work is always so lovely, it would be great to share your knowledge.

Ok, so I will admit their are a few reasons I have not been big on posting and reading through the forums. First, because I still feel like somewhat of a newbie and I am still learning as I go, so I guess I let my insecurities get in my way. I am always afraid I won't have enough to share. Second, some of the times that I have read through forums I find that some of them can turn a little negative and caddy(sp?), so I just avoid. I know that this is not the case with a lot of the forums, but reading through some of them just drains a girl. Lastly, it leads back to the reason I started this thread. LIFE. Life just seems to zoom by, and I have a hard enough time keeping up with the day to day let alone all the extra fun stuff like cake. Although I would rather talk cake any day. So, in conclusion I will work on it.

Those all sound like very valid reasons. Yes, the cake ladies get catty from time to time. (Oh, by the way, you might want to avoid the Bronwen thread today....)
But don't let your insecurities get the best of you. Your work is awesome and you most definitely have things to share.

Been there..done that! I am obsessive about responding, and if I have ever missed any....I'm sorry too!!
