    Maybe everyone should look at this which mioliere posted earlier in the week before making any decisions . . .
    I looked at that link when Kathy posted it, that was why I posted the link I had found under the heading 'confused'! I was not meaning to accuse Shezmit (I did say that)- it just seemed odd that people were saying these things (even if it was 2 years ago).

    I have just tried to register with the Purple Cross Stitch site in order to post that link about Shelley on the thread so that if anyone finds the link on google they can read something good about Preemies, but it won't accept any of my emails. I'll keep trying. :confused: There may be a fault on the site.

    UPDATE: It doesn't look as if that site is active any longer, the last posts on there were in 2008.

    I think it is an old site, as it was 2007 the thread I read.
    ETA I see your update.

    I deleted it, and was about to add a comment saying, of course things can be sold for charity- any reason why you use a different name though ? Does that not make it more complicated for you ?
    I am not picking on you Shelley, just trying to make sure my charity donations are going to worthy causes!

    People want to help and if you leave then it will be harder for anyone to contact you with donations etc!
    As for selling stuff, I would have no problem with that, especially if the proceeds (minus reasonable costs) were being ploughed back into Preemies/charity.
    What else has anyone said you have done wrong Shelley ? (We had the clock mix up but that was noones fault!).
    Perhaps I will [STRIKE]bow out of the thread[/STRIKE]take a wee back seat for now, and wish you all well.
    I will continue to knit for charity and thanks for all the encouragement you all gave me! xxxx

    What is a wooligan ??

    Shelly, don't worry about past nasties. You know your conscience is clear and that's the main thing :-) have a hug :-) and carry on with the marvelous work you are doing here. You're doing a great job :-)

    Shelley please don't leave us - you are part of this family, a main part.

    To have the trouble brought up again is sad and I'm sure as hurtful as before. but I think you will see from the responses that you are "loved" here.

    As I 'brought it up' I am happy to [STRIKE]leave[/STRIKE] take a wee bit of a back seat for now, the thing is at no point did I accuse Shelley of anything, I was simply confused as to why something like this was on the net. I am new to this lark and thought it horrible to come across such comments, especially if it is unfounded!
    The good always wins out, and thanks again folks.

    Orkneystar - you have apologised to Shezmit and can do no more, there is no need to leave the forum, if we are a "family" then every now and then there will be misunderstandings, but part of life is the acceptance of our own and other peoples errors.
