It is with a heavy heart that I upload this photograph that I have taken of both the famed stamper, Schirmcat , and our notorious friend, Anne Ryan. based on Schirmcat's card here..
As you may know, Anne Ryan has been battling her alcohol and hill billy heroin addictions at the Betty Ford Clinic. It is has been a long, long road for Anne - or Ms Ryanne as I prefer to call her. She has had many delusions and has created many cards featuring me as a jailbird -ess, a smoker, an old lady in St Gregory's home for the aged, among others. Finally - the truth had to come out - and who better than Schrimcat to know about that.
Schirmcat - our beloved and wonderful stamper - pictured here in a Mouse disguise - ran across Anne Ryan*cleverly disguised in a spandex Riley suit * weighing herself at Over Eater Anonymous - one of the many services that the Betty Ford Clinic offers to Anne Ryan - and yes....................Anne Ryan currently weighs.........650 lbs!!!! And that is after 3 months of struggling with her diet with her stomach stapled shut to better her chances of dieting.
I feel leaden hearted to have to report to you this difficulty that Anne Ryan is having, as she is a dear dear friend of mine, but once Schirmcat informed me of our dear friend's difficulties...... I felt I had to share them openly with the split coast stampers so that we can better understand and support our dear friend Anne!
Fabulous gallery Schirmcat.......... and Anne Ryan, I cry tears of concern for you............ thanks for looking!!
I'll be back later to comment.

I think there is really nothing left to be said...so here's my quick synopsis:
1. Anne is very good at disguising her urrrmmm, imperfections.
2. Shirmcat is a really cute mouse!
3. A lot of coffee was spit out onto keyboards as a result of reading Deborah's post. (Debzi you may get billed for that)
4.If someone makes a card about it on SCS, it MUST be TRUE?!
And finally,
5. We will never know who's nuttier; Deborah, Anne or the therapist!!
Oh, and for my sweet friend Anne's sake I may have to call a group hug!!!

Wow, Deborah, how can I top the comments that have been made here. I will say that I had noticed MRS. RYAN, as she now addresses herself to me, has been a touch cranky this past week. Hallucinations also that I threatened her with my husband's nuclear aircraft carrier. I innocently mentioned my husband was going to be in her area on an aircraft carrier. Her paranoia must have gotten the best of her because she's turned it into a nuclear threat in her back yard! Poor, Poor Anne. It's worse than I thought. I did realize, however, that if she's got that awful staples in her belly, that that could be affecting her mood and her sense of reality, not to mention the "weight", "alcohol" and "drug" problems and the one I have diagnosed "multiple personality disorder"!! I feel you had to make this card to protect yourself and to join forces with all the SCS friends as an intervention measure. I do feel you are going to "pay dearly" for what you have done here and I fear for you. The bad news is "YOU'RE GOING TO GET IT GOOD" from Anne. The good news is "SHE'S GOING TO BE TOO BUSY SEEKING REVENGE WITH YOU THAT SHE'LL FORGET ALL ABOUT ME!!! So, thanks Deborah for taking the front line for awhile!!! Fantastic work here Deborah!!!! TFS!!

Excuse me, but I see this is listed under the TSC0710 challenge. Let me be the first to remind you that challenge was song oriented. So, like where's the song part? or were you so caught up in your self that you forgot to play by the rules?

Deborah, I think you're right that Anne is trying to buy me off so I will join forces against you. I have to admit, it has changed my attitude a lot. If only I knew she genuinely meant it or was using it to have me turn on naysayers to her good name like you!!! I'll have to churn that around. But, come to think of it, I don't want you doing a card like this to me, so I think I'm still on your side. I'm so enjoying "nice Anne" right now. I feel it is a ploy to catch us all off guard when "Mrs. Ryan" decides to reappear and get US ALL WITH ONE GOOD BLOW!!! LOL!!!!
