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.

YIKES!!! I thought I was bein' a stinker today, but I think you've cornered the market on naughtiness, Deborah! I am no match for the likes of you. OMG! You and Miss Anne have me rolling on the floor with laughter. I've gotta go see what she did to you yesterday. Whew! Thanks for the laughs! This is too cute.

Oh my gosh, this is hilarious! I must say I am shocked though because Anne hids her problems so well. In her avatar she is one classy looking lady. Must have been a lot of air brushing going on!
I really think you better run for the hills though, I heard some of those Hill Billy heroin buddies are looking for you.
Too, too funny. Great card.

Oh dear, Deb, I am sorry to not comment sooner! I was traveling back from NJ where I was vacationing and now I have ARRIVED in Rochester!
Oh Anne, I am sorry to have outed you but today is the day that I've ARRIVED you see! I must air all my dirty laundry and be the FS with a clear conscience! But I must admit, I am the one that is looking unfit and not-so-trim...see my little belly...it's from all the seafood I ate in Jersey, dang those mussels drenched in garlic butter! They get me everytime!
And Ms. Debbie, I love your coloring and your Featured Gingham that is oh so fitting for my ARRIVAL! Thanks so much for playing, and for leading today's Anne Ryan Intervention, hee!

Oh My Gosh... Anne is gonna get you for this one...LOL. What a clever way to let us in on the "news". I am hoping Anne is healing well. You really should leave her alone. She is down and out...
