ran into a snag...
I ran into a huge snag today. I was calling around looking for hostesses (I started up as an Independent Demonstrator with Stampin' Up!
). So I am calling my first person on my list (i don't have a long list, not many people here that i know) and was talking to her a little, and she seemed a bit aloof. After I asked her if she'd like to host a workshop or demonstration, she says no. I say okie doke, and ask her to keep me in mind if she'd like to do one in the future. She says "no, I won't be doing one in the future either. To tell the truth, I really don't like you all that much, and wouldn't have anything to do with you if it weren't for Erick" (my dh...she knows him through his company). I told her I was sorry to hear that, and that i wished her a nice day anyhow. I was stunned and hung up the phone very slowly...and went and cried. She has been all buddy-buddy with me when Erick has had barbecues and or office parties that they have invited her to. (She is a office mgr for a supplier that Dh's company uses, if i remember correctly what she does). Talk about a kick in the teeth. I am still cryin like a dork right now. Ah well, just thought I'd get it off my chest.

That was awfully crewl of her.... You are better off without her if she wants to be like that...
My guess is that if she acts like that then she doesn't and won't have many friends at all!

What a hateful ,mean witch! Chrissy is right, if she's that cruel, she probably has no friends.
You have a lot of friends here, don't forget that, sweetie.

melissa...that is so sad. I am sorry she was so rude to you. Saying no is one thing, but to carry on like that was just hateful.
Please don't let her get you down. You are so talented with scrapping.

Let me at her
! She's a 
A pox on her, say I.
Sounds like she may be a bit jealous of you. People who are like that usually are. Spend no more time and energy on this
.
You can do this and again I'm so happy your getting to do something you enjoy. Go get 'em Melissa!~*Darlene*~

I'm so sorry to hear how nasty she was to you!! That is just terrible. You are a great person and IMO this just shows how she is not a good person and you are better off without this person. Sending big hugs to you!!

What a JERK!! You are better off without her!
She wouldn't have made a good hostess with that attitude anyway.
Call the next person on your list, I just know you will do better!!

I've been thinking about you all night
I've desperately been trying recently to control my dreadful temper and see 'the other side' and spread some love and all those nice positive things.
Having given it careful consideration - LET ME AT HER!
I'm working on it but hey I'm not perfect and I just can't forget this so I had to come back.
You ARE VERY talented and she IS a AND I would cry too
Just try and forget this one Melissa it's all you can do - It's a shame it was your first call as well but some things are sent to try us (I think my LIFE was sent to do that LOL) You're gonna be GREAT!!!!
again!

Oh my Melissa, I am so sorry you had to deal with someone so rude and ignorant. Sadly enough, there are people out there like this and you are MUCH better off without her. You handled yourself wonderfully by being polite and that just shows what a super person you are!!! It's called "class"!!
If I lived closer I'd have a party with you!!!!

Melissa, I'm so sorry you had to go through this. That was totally uncalled for.
Please know we all love you here and that your a kind, compassionate and classy lady. Don't let what one mean person says stop you from going out and continuing with your dream!!
