I guess some people will go to a lot of trouble in order to deceive. :-(<br /> <br />I hope that you and the rest of the sellers are able to get some kind of compensation.<br /><br />KimberlyNiesz Vintage Homehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11952472758360034508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8326860682126929175.post-19093265100199072432011-01-18T12:33:00.389-08:002011-01-18T12:33:00.389-08:00Why oh why can't everyone just be decent and h...Why oh why can't everyone just be decent and honest!!

What we all create, with our heart and soul, results in something deeply personal-a part of us, so to speak. This whole incident is so disrespectful to all those who were cheated. <br /><br />I'll let you know how it all turns out eventually (and too bad it can't be over a couple of diet Pepsi's) :)Valerie Boersmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08372768206512562126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8326860682126929175.post-27873056235939846162011-01-17T11:47:31.183-08:002011-01-17T11:47:31.183-08:00That's awful!
