Jilanne,
I am in tears after reading your post. Thank you for your support. Sounds like you have been through the ringer as well! I wasn't even going to say why I needed stress relief when I entered this contest. We have been leading a horrible secret life. I am in search of hope. This Scrapbox is a material item and I do know that but it would give me some freedom. Some of the old me back. It would be stress relief because I never get to go down to the basement and paper craft. All of us who made it to the top ten deserve to win!!!! I can say although it would make me happy beyond belief to be the winner I can see the odds in the polls and I do have the "woe is me story". The truth is I need my papercrafting, I need it. I love it and it is something I am good at!!! Unfortunately "Woe is me" and for the people who are upset that I shared my story or think that I shouldn't have opened up, thank your lucky stars you don't walk in my shoes!!! Believe me everyday that this contest has gone I have thought about dropping out because it did get negative. But that is okay, it is what it is. I take my life one day at a time that is all I have!!! I am thrilled that I made it to the top ten!!! But most of all I am so happy to be making new friends!!!!
Best Wishes,
Carrie
P.S. It is funny that you mention the lady that has the son with tourettes because she has been on my mind as well. In fact I was rooting for her to be in the Top Ten. I would love to help her in any way possible. My heart goes out to her!!
