This looks pretty cool. I love earning points and then getting some cash.

I consider myself an “independent” when it comes to political parties.

I don’t like either of them, and I think they are all crooked.

I realize this is not “craft-related”, but I feel that this information needs to be shared.

Let your own conscience be your guide.

*** NOTE ***

I am not approving any posts that are Pro Abortion/ Pro Choice. As far as I am concerned, one made the choice when they had sex. Pregnancy is always a possible outcome.

I am 100% Pro-Life.

I was born 1 year prior to Roe v Wade. Had abortion been legal, I would not have been born. My birth mother gave me up for adoption, and I had wonderful family growing up, and a beautiful family now as an adult.

Yes, it’s true. Glenna does NOT have Cancer.

This was nothing more then a smoke screen to avoid financial responsibility and to set up a USA store with her new partner Jen Nellans.

Below is a comment from our dear crafting friend Momma Jo. I copied it from an older post and placed it here up front. Momma Jo is a real Cancer patient and will be going for another round of treatments. I am asking all of you who pray, to send a prayer that Momma Jo has the mental and physical strength to persevere through some very tough treatments. She is one of the kindest women I have met online. If you don’t pray, please send some good thoughts her way.

From Momma Jo:

As a cancer patient myself and a Christian, I just had to post here and tell you how I totally understand the situation of what it is like to deal with cancer from
finding out you have it thru treatments and waiting for 5 years to pass so you can say you dont have it anymore.

I have written to Glenna quite a bit towards July’s end and though she had concerns about having cancer; tests were taken and she emailed and told me that she
“is cancer free” and “got a clean bill of health” from her doctors. She added that she was greatful for
my concern, but there was nothing that came out in any of her tests that indicated cancer.

I just know there are many concerned out here and wanted to clear that up and ask you and anyone else to pray for me as I am to go in for radiation treatments again next month. I dont mean
to take prayer away from anyone, but wanted to put your mind to ease on Glenna’s having cancer and my need for prayer.

Thank You…
Jo

Today’s Darwin Award goes to Yelena Litvin - Yahoo ID: ylitvin

I will be honest. I can’t stand reading her emails. As you will see below, the spelling is beyond atrocious. Seriously, there is no need for such a butchering of the English language. Almost every email program has a spell check. All one has to do is hit the button. It isn’t rocket science.

Actually, I don’t care for a lot of what she has to say. During a discussion on kids in the classroom who have special needs, she writes, and I quote:

“I am sorry if this offends anyone i am not trying to come accross as mean but a blind child goes to a blind school, a deaf child goes to a school where they can get helped, physically handicapped children get a little class room time but mostly spend time with special ed teachers. that is their job and what they are ment to do.”

Wow. I think Yelena has been spending too much time using E6000.

But I digress. Let me get on to the real reason I am posting. In one of the ‘yahoo groups’ Yelena made some comments about me and my blog. So, as not to start any drama in the group, I email her off board.

Here is my 1st email to Yelena…

Yelena..

Before you bash me and my blog in a Yahoo Group (little bo peeps), better make sure I am not a member.
I am a member of most of them, under various identities, and I almost never post or share my true identity.
Little goes on that I don’t know about.

BTW.. You may think by blog is harsh.. but I only put up the truth.

( I also made a comment about Jen and Glenna and someone that Glenna owes)
—————————————————

Now.. here is the email back from Yelena.. verbatim.

Mary, first off DO NOT EVER SEND ME AN EMAIL WITH THAT KIDN OF ATTITUDE! this will get posted on ALL groups I am on. I may not be on to many but the ones i am on I am well liked and proud of. I new that you were on that group. and NOTHING i said i wouldnt have said to you in person. So BEFORE YOU start Bashing me! Why dont you get a life. and stop ruining other peoples lives. I Have not had any problems with either Glenna nor have i had problems with Lacy’s THAT is simply what i had stated. IF the truth hurts THEN TUFF LUCK! . I am usually not the type of person to GET UP INTO SOMEONES FACE! but it seems that you make a LIFE OUT OF IT! YOu are sick! Yelena

———————————————————————–

My reply:

Go ahead and send it to every group.. I really don’t care.
But please use spell check.

The truth is that you can’t spell and you have no idea what you are talking about or what is really going on with some of the group owners and website owners.
Believe me, I really don’t care what you think.

I am not bashing you. If I was, you would certainly know it.

Mary

——————————————————

Yelena’s Reply:

truth is i dont care so leave me alone! and as for spelling what difference does it make to you i know more languages that you could possibly thing of knowing spellign is not on the top of my priorities but i guess you dont know what priorities and and morals are. Yelena

—————————————————–

And my final reply to Yelena…

I would rather know 1 language well and not look like a simpleton with a maximum 5th grade education when I type an email :)

—————————————————

Yelena then goes and sends the following post to every Yahoo group to which she belongs.

(oh.. and a copy of the original email to her new best buddy Glenna)

Subject: hey Mods?? and all else interested.

K, This is going to start something I just know it but at this point I just dont care. Oh and warning this is going to get kinda long.
First off please EXCUSE MY SPELLING! then please excuse my punctuation, and that is all I am going to ask to get excused but honestly I just dont care.
Here goes on one of the groups i am on some one asked a question about Lacy’s ribbons. most people said they were having good experiences. one said she wasnt contacted then Jen contacted her. Well I posted that i have not had a bad experience with either and it is not fair to tell everyone to stay away and bash someone just because a few people had bad experiences. IT IS YOUR CHOICE WHO TO DEAL WITH. AS IT IS MINE! i had simply stated just that. I had also said that Mary Kalwite’s blog (or what ever her name is) is to harsh, I knew she was on that group did not care that she would see it. I do not say anything about anyone that I would not say to them if they were standing in front of me. So MARY? or What is you HIDDEN IDENTITY ? GEt a life and get some morals! on to my story. i got a email from MK stating to stop bashing her because she is on a bunch of grops and most of them she is under a hidden identity. SICK! so to be carefull what i say about her. CAN YOU SAY THREAT? WELL GUESS WHAT I DONT GIVE A SH|*T (spell check that!) So mods dont know how or if you are going to check this out but that is just sick and has completely ruined ALL of my Yahoo experiences. I am a Christian AND AM VERY PROUD OF IT! that last profanity was one of the VERY few i have ever let slip! bbut this time was a exception. WHAT IS GOING ON? I dont know what is going on with all the different mods? the different groups? the different websites? well guess WHAT I DO NOT WANT TO KNOW! the ones that treat me like crap i know right from the first order! the ones that I CAN CONSIDER A FRIEND I also know. that is all I have to say. GEEZE GET A LIFE SOME OF YOU! oh and by the way just for proof here is a copy of one of the emails she sent me oh and does any one know how to BLOCK THIS B*TCH from emailing me? cuz mand as you see i am not happy! Yelena
———————————————————
So, now you all know what went down, and why Yelena felt the need to start up drama in every Yahoo group where she is a member.
I am not asking anyone to “pick sides”, as I can care less.
I will just let the email and her public post to a private matter speak for itself.
Anyone for a Popcorn refill???




***** UPDATE ********

Hi girls i am ever so sorry for putting this on board She realy hit a nerve yesterday. Today, after sleeping on it i wish i woulda never touched the skunk cuz i got sprayed. I just want to clarify The Jen i was refering to was Jen from Laci jos ribbons, and she is wonderful, the person i got spayed by i am not goingt to mention because you most likely know and I just dont feel like tasting skunk all day again. Anyway i am sorry for putting this on board. I have learned my lesson dont scare a skunk you wont get sprayed, do and you will be sorry. Yelena

——————————————————-
ROFLMAO!
A skunk?
Seriously Yelena.. I really think it is time for a medication adjustment.
If you are not on medication, I really think you ought to look into it.

Ruth Eatherly sells the Rollabind discs used in craft projects in lieu of bottle caps. She calls them “bindi’s”.

She sells on Etsy under the name “creationsbyruth” as well as http://creationsbyruth.googlepages.com/3d_crystal_lacquer.

Her Yahoo ID is: rdeatherly

A few weeks ago, she was confronted in a group about her not shipping the item, the customer opened a PayPal dispute, and Ruth advised she did not have the money to refund as she had spent it. Family emergency.

She told the customer she would have to wait until the following week.

How inappropriate and unprofessional!

I understand there are several people waiting a long time for orders to be filled.

She claims they were ‘back ordered” and the company is undergoing some changes.

Oddly, other groups have ordered from the same place without issue.

If you are waiting for the non communicative Ruth to send you product or refund your money, please share your experiences.

Thanks!

Here it is ladies.. right from the horses mouth

Hi ladie as some of you know we have a new USA store And thing maybe up and running this weekend. The new owner of Bowtiqueribbon USA is Jen and here is her new store. http://www.lacijosribbonsnbows.com/ I hope you will all stop in and visit Jen on her new venture in the ribbon business. She will be having a sale for the grand opening so stay tuned i will let you know. Thanks”

After a few days of speculation, secrecy, and unanswered questions, the truth is out.

Jen has partnered with Glenna. Notice the use of “WE”.

It is quite clear that Jen doesn’t care if Glenna is a liar & a thief or is not smart enough to see the truth when presented in front of her.

PT Barnum said it best, “There is a Sucker born every minute”.

Pass the word around to not shop at Bowtique Ribbon’s new USA store location.

BOYCOTT GLENNA & LaciJosRibbonsNBows!!!!!

post Category: The Bad post Comments (13) postJuly 29, 2008

Hmmm… something stinks BAD.

Glenna says she didn’t sell Bowtique Ribbon.
Jen says “Bowtique Ribbon” has a new home.

If Jen didn’t buy Bowtique Ribbon, and Bowtique Ribbon’s new home is http://www.lacijosribbonsnbows.com, that would mean that Jen is now partners with Glenna?

If Glenna has anything to do with Jen’s new store, I will have to say
RUN AWAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

One would have to be nothing short of a fool to go into business with Glenna.

I really hope Jen is not in cahoots with someone who has a track record of fraud and deceit.
What is that saying… oh yes.. “Birds of a Feather flock together”.

UPDATE:
According to Jen, she claims she is NOT “partners” with Glenna, and the details are quite frankly none of my business. She also told me I need to rethink what I post about her.

Well, Jen.. set the record straight.
Does Glenna have ANYTHING to do with your Business?
Does she profit at all from the business?
Are you just running a front store for Glenna because her name and reputation is worthless?
Seriously.. what is the REAL story here?

If you can’t tell us the truth, or refuse to answer some simple basic questions, what are we left to think other then to boycott your store?

Yet ANOTHER Update:
It appears Glenna will be Jen’s supplier.

I quote from Jen’s Yahoo Group
“This will be Jen’s store and her inventory. Every order placed will be paid to Jen and shipped from Jen. It is her own ribbon store and she is using Bowtique Ribbon to stock it. Glenna will have nothing to do with Jens store.”

So.. if you buy from Jen’s new store, you are ultimately supporting Glenna.

Easy choice.. shop elsewhere.

post Category: The Bad post Comments (7) post

Apparently, Bowtique Ribbon was not sold.
I apologize for the incorrect information.
The way that Jen announced her new store made it sound like a “buy” but she didn’t buy “Bowtique Ribbon”.

There is a whole mass of confusion surrounding this issue and I hope that Jen will have the courage to actually tell us the truth behind the nature of the relationship Glenna has or may have or will have with Jen’s new website.

*********** below is the original post *****************
Bowtique Ribbon has been sold.
Jen of Laci Jo’s has bought Bowtique Ribbon and Jen’s new site is:
http://www.lacijosribbonsnbows.com

The store is said to be up and running by the end of the week.

My questions:

Did Jen “take over”/buy the store, customers, accounts, and product?
If so, is Jen assuming the debt owed to previous customers and will she be filling the partial orders at her own expense?
Does Glenna have ANY hand in the new business or is it all Jen’s?
Did Jen just buy the supplies and starting a new company under her new address?
If Bowtique Ribbon is sold, then why is the website still up?

Ladies, keep hounding Glenna if you are owed a refund.
I know there are many of you still out there, despite claims by Glenna that she “has no debt”.
I hope Glenna’s records don’t mysteriously vanish.

If this is a brand new business venture for Jen using the supplies purchased from Glenna, then I wish her much success.
