I received the most wonderful RAK from Anne Ryan yesterday. I had no idea she was going to send me all this. Plus, I got not just 1, but 2 of Anne Ryan originals. I hear they are worth lots of money, but I hear Mutnik is selling her own cards so she can give Anne her SPUT challenge award she demanded for a fictitious contest fabricated by Anne herself - so you see why she was the winner, right???? I think I'll hold onto Anne's cards in case she ever fabricates a contest in my name so I can sell her cards to pay for HER winnings!!! LOL!!! No, these are priceless and I will never part with them.
The stressed out green lady is a self-portrait of Anne dedicated to me since I have diagnosed her with multiple personality disorder. Every time I look at it I laugh. The second one is so clever using the Hershey's wrappers and labels!!! I just ADORE both of them and ADORE Anne's humor.
Then, I got all kinds of cool images. I've been wanting to try out these fun images as my cards are always so serious - the pressure is on! I also received a stamp and sentiment set--how great is THIS???--and, it's not shown in the photo because I couldn't fit it in as I should have done 2 uploads, but she sent me some clear plastic boxes you fold and perfectly sized for my cards. I can either use them for a gift set of cards or to put a more "dimensional" card in when it won't fit in an envelope, etc. There's so many uses. I've never seen them and I great appreciate it all!!!
Thanks Anne - LOVE YOU and I'll try to defend you against all those naysayers out there trying to slander your good name!!!
Give Anne some feedback on this fabulous RAK if you have a chance. Better yet, check out her fabulous gallery. I promise you won't be disappointed. There's a whole soap opera going on in her world!!!!

How sweet of Anne - such a kind soul! (Except when she's accusing people of sending nuclear warships out to get her...yes, there is a whole soap opera going on in her world - at least in her SCS world!) You'll have great fun with these images and that little chicken stamp looks adorable!

Those who partake in their own soap opera are generally also very kind, which is definitely the case with Anne... look forward to your new creations Pam, enjoy your RAK!

Whoa, you hit the jackpot here! That Anne sure put a rather large and oh so wonderful RAK together for you. How sweet of her to do such a thing. Glad to see the *nice* Anne again! LOL Just kidding, Anne is always nice in an ornery sort of way. Pam, this is so cool. Can't wait to see how you use all your wonderful gifts. Man, two Anne Ryan originals....does it get any better than this? I think not............TFS :0)

You received quite an abundance of goodies from the "original bad girl." Her gallery is so much fun to visit and she does make awesome cards. I smiled to myself when I saw that image of the hen/rooster after my red checked rooster card in the gallery last week and the comment you made. Not that the comment was bad....I don't think??? Though, the card was a bit barnyard-ish.I'll be WAITING and WATCHING for your creations. I'm sure they will be a treat to view, as usual.

Oh my stars!!! Anne Ryan is trying to buy you off!! Trying to set you against me....... getting others to her side!! At first I thought - what a fabulous and wonderful RAK from Anne - maybe I'll be nice to Anne - but then I realized that she is buying your loyalty !! OH that Anne - she is made of money - and I'll just bet she had her *people *do all of the work . Watch your back..........maybe she is trying to lull you into complancy.......... she's done that to me before...... or has she?????Anyway - truthfully a wonderful and generous RAK from one of the most fun and good hearted folks on SCS - our Anne!

Oh you are so welcome, sweet girl! Yes, if I were to be honest for a change, I would definitely have to tell it was sent with a purpose: that you will defend me from the likes of those who commented above.
