It is with a heavy heart that I upload this photograph that I have taken of both the famed stamper, Schirmcat , and our notorious friend, Anne Ryan. based on Schirmcat's card here..
As you may know, Anne Ryan has been battling her alcohol and hill billy heroin addictions at the Betty Ford Clinic. It is has been a long, long road for Anne - or Ms Ryanne as I prefer to call her. She has had many delusions and has created many cards featuring me as a jailbird -ess, a smoker, an old lady in St Gregory's home for the aged, among others. Finally - the truth had to come out - and who better than Schrimcat to know about that.
Schirmcat - our beloved and wonderful stamper - pictured here in a Mouse disguise - ran across Anne Ryan*cleverly disguised in a spandex Riley suit * weighing herself at Over Eater Anonymous - one of the many services that the Betty Ford Clinic offers to Anne Ryan - and yes....................Anne Ryan currently weighs.........650 lbs!!!! And that is after 3 months of struggling with her diet with her stomach stapled shut to better her chances of dieting.
I feel leaden hearted to have to report to you this difficulty that Anne Ryan is having, as she is a dear dear friend of mine, but once Schirmcat informed me of our dear friend's difficulties...... I felt I had to share them openly with the split coast stampers so that we can better understand and support our dear friend Anne!
Fabulous gallery Schirmcat.......... and Anne Ryan, I cry tears of concern for you............ thanks for looking!!
I'll be back later to comment.

Poor, poor Anne! I'm so sorry to see all those staples. Funny, they don't show at all in her avatar pic. I take it that you based this on Shirmcat's card and that her card is pic of the Ford clinic? I'm sure Anne will be rubbing elbows and telling stories all about y'all to her new celebrity friends at the Ford clinic. Won't be long til the paparazzi gets wind of this. Then there will be no hiding the truth cause we all know if you read it in the paper, it must be true!! Better stock up on big sunglasses and disguises like Kelly did last Christmas.

Yes, sadly I knew about Anne. I 'm not surprised about Schirmcat. After all - something had to be contributing to her delusions - we all know she was seeing Dr. Feelgood - and not socially!
As for Deb - She's been in the Betty Ford off and on with Anne this whole time. I see by the fact this is not her normally OCD work that she's back in and only able to get her hands on primitive art supplies.
