Message from Monique...

On a personal note, I would like to request a moment of silence for our messagboard friend and fearless Bug Guide leader, Admin Becky.  She was let go by PC yesterday due to "workforce reduction".  She is the last person they should have cut, as she made an enormous difference on the messageboard, which is a huge profit machine, and was always there to answer everyone's questions and take care of issues.  An amazingly valuable asset to PC, and not replaceable.  Admin Becky, you will be greatly missed, and the world of Cricut will not be the same without you!!!

    Monique, congrats on going big time with your new shopping cart application!

    Can't understand why pc has to cut anyone. They are making a killing and always bringing new stuff out for us to buy, which we always do!

  53. I love your card! Sometimes a cup of coffee or tea is not just a drink but a few minutes to relax and ponder whether it be about friends, life, work or a task to be completed. It's also a great socialism tradition. TFS

  72. I am so very saddened to hear about Admin. Becky. This is what happens when companies grow too fast and forget that their most valuable assets are their loyal and taletd employees. PC already has enough customer service issues. I have noticed-lack of common sense in many of their decisions.

  73. What a sweet card! I'm sure your sister will love it.
