Rant to all those who complain!!!

If you are a crafter you know that this is a hobby that we all love:)
For those of you who complain about everything and not getting your way then don't CRAFT!!! This hobby is meant to make us happy and not complain about stupid things like "Oh I can't join this group cause i'm international"!

GROW UP.............. and move on

No one ever said life was fair you just deal with it!

If you want a craft group to be international then start one and don't complain about the time and effort it takes to make a group happen. We should be lucky that some wonderful artists want to share their time and effort to make a group for us to join!!!!

This is just my rant for those who are always ruining everything for others....
Poo on u!!!

Thanks,
