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.

I knew there was something being kept from us about Anne!! No one can be that sweet unless they are living on a caramel-topped Blue Bell ice cream and cupcake diet 24-7! Thanks, Deb, for spilling the beans!
Well, every vice has its price!! But as Anne will tell us, I'm sure, sometimes it's worth it!!!
Oh, my gosh, I'm not sure that I should have looked at this while taking a sip of coffee, lol! You are too funny, and I'll be sure to stay tuned to see what the 'Riley' and the mouse have to say!

Yakky - could this realy be true - I did hear a rumour that staples were in BUT I thought I read it in a craft magazine!! Alas poor Anne, God love her...she obviously has another side that is not seen by us all - we may have suspected, but nevber was it clear until now!! I love the disguises both Schirmcat and MS Ryan have used...but obviously they didn't count on a private Investigator catching them out....here's to you Anne...and to your recovery...I will send you choccies darling!! LOL!!! Thansk for sharing Deb!! {{{hugs}}}

Yakky, wow...I think Schirm will have to put you on the top the the Naughty list for this one. Good to see those hoarded copics get out of the box.
