Like a lion alright...

Ever jinxed yourself? Like by saying something like, I haven't gotten sick yet this year, and then BAM you get hit with the flu from hell?

Well, remember a few posts ago I mentioned that things were about 99% drama-free in my life except for the "bowtique" lady. Well, of course, here came drama. I log onto a forum that we are both members of and here I find a post started by that lady. Basically, she summed up our history. As she perceives it anyways.

So if one was to believe her, a)I stalk her page b)copy her original creations c) buy her products to pull them apart to recreate them. A big nope to all of that. Yes, I have purchased items from her for my daughter. Every item I have purchased from her is something I DON'T make nor do I plan to. I don't copy her work. If we have the same items it pretty much means we both learned from the same online tutorials (most found through that forum).

In this instance she was complaining about my possible attendance at a home party hosted by a friend. I asked this friend if she minded if I came to purchase a few metal headbands. In this post she wrote today I was basically accused of wanting to buy it to learn how to make them. Again, nope. I don't want to make them. I know how. It's not nuclear science here, it's attaching a flower to a metal headband. I don't WANT to make them. I don't sell very many headbands for older kids. I simply want to buy a few pretty headbands for my daughter for Easter and bonus for me if i don't have to pay for shipping.

God forbid if I want to get out of the house without any of my 4 kids, enjoy some good company and rekindle a friendship that has hit quite a roadbump over the last year. And anyone who has ever been to this friend's get togethers, knows she's a great hostess. But yeah, bowtique lady, its all about you! She even accused me of wanting to see how she does her home parties! Ummm, I was a Tupperware consultant as well as a Mary Kay consultant. I know how to do a home party. I certainly don't need to see her in action for that reason.

Anyways, the thread she started on the forum has since been removed. Right after I posted MY side of things.  I really just wish she would stop acting like I am this evil monster whose sole goal in life is to ruin her business. I don't market to her customers, I don't make everything she does. I have been making tutus for quite awhile now, guess who all of a sudden started making them? But I didn't go off on her the way she has done to me. She started making Disney Princess clippies. I made one before Valentine's Day and posted on this same forum that I was working on them and, again, who spent all of last week posting princesses?? Did I let it get to me? No. It's life. There's nothing I can do about it other than contine perfecting mine and post them on my fb page when they're done!

If there's one thing I learned from my late Grandfather, it was to let it go. Don't let other people's crap ruin your day. If she wants to be petty and childish, so be it. I'v dealt with it in my own way by blogging about the incident. It's my way of putting it behind me.
