I'm sorry to hear this. What happened to make you come to this decision?

I do hope you come back here!!you are a lovely person of this cute family. So please no farewell, but see you later I hope!

I know I felt just the same, still here lol, but might well end up doing the same as you. God bless and take care

Sorry to see you go, and wonder what has happened to make you leave. Your contributions here were always appreciated by me, and it's sad that something has recently happened on this site to change the warm and welcoming feeling of the place. I, too, stopped watching soap operas as I felt they didn't do a thing to uplift my life.
My prayers will be with you.
Love,
Jacqueline

I understand what your saying and I was talking with another cute who has left and other than collecting designs and getting and giving sewing advice I too am disapointed with what it has become. My life is too good to cluter it up with negativity.

You certainly will be missed.I've gotten upset many times with some of the remarks.But I wont let that miserable ruin it for me.But do hate to see you go.Bless you always/Shadoe-Jane

May this be a wake up call to all of us that the words we speak are powerful. There is life and there is death in the power of the tongue. Let us speak life.

I do hope you will check once in awhile so we will know yu are ok. Will surely miss you bunches............

I respect your decision, however I will miss your presence here, you always had a positive attitude, and a loving way of answering that made a difference. Blessings. Lianne

So sorry Teri, you will be missed, I looked forward to hearing from you with your lovely comments, enjoy your life and laugh lots,
Sheryl

Dear Teri,

I understand where you are coming from. I am going to miss your great input on this site. Please don't go forever, but drop by now and again.

Love and blessings Chris

Dear Teri, Yes it is SO sad to see what has happened to this WONDERFUL site - it USED to be the place where I USED to come to enjoy myself and find refuge from all the hassles in my life, but alas NO MORE!!

I now only pop in now and again and from what I too have seen posted lately I am TOTALLY amazed at what I have read!! I am appalled by what I have read in some of the postings and just shake my head in amazement that SOME of these people have the audacity to think that THEY rule CUTE!!

They should catch a WAKE UP and realize that they DON'T RULE CUTE and it actually BELONGS to Ms Veronika and SHE is the OWNER and makes the RULES ..... NOT THEM!!! The sooner the better for CUTE as before long there won't be many people left... or is that perhaps the object of their 'game'??

I really do miss the 'old' Cute but I know that the 'damage' has been done and there is no way of it EVER being the same again - What a pity!! And to think that I thought we were such a Wonderful 'Cute Family'!

I am sure that there are a lot of us that will be joining you and not even be 'popping in' to Cute at all real soon!
Just too much 'Drama' here!

I wish you everything of the best .... Take care!
Hugs

Some things that people have said on here have made me wonder what is truely going on behind the scenes that I am not aware of. I don't know if there is alot of history that us "newbies" are not aware of, I am sorry to hear about your decision to leave. And I do agree with the immature nature of alot of the comments that are said. People need to realize that we are all here for a common purpose, apparently we all like to sew and enjoy embroidering. People need to mentor the "younger" crowd of future embroiderers and realize that some are looking towards them for advice and leadership!

Teriout our dailyo ab At this point I do not know what has happened to make u feel this way. I only got through 3 quest. & read you had left so here I am in personals before reading anything else. I love & respect you. I think u know that without my saying it. In my 71 yrs I have found there is no utopia. there are always people & things that satan throws in our path to hurt or trip us up as we go about out daily lives, the thing is they are always going to be there in this imperfect world & God if we will let Him gives us the grace to love them anyway not what they do or say but their make souls. Jesus tells us we r to love others as God loved us. I do not make judgement on what I do not like about what they do or say I simply pray for God to teach me how to love them & to be an example to them and others. I know u must do what is in your heart but I will miss you so very much. I had really hoped to one day get out to see you. I will come out to see my bro. one of these days at Manhatten Beach, Ca. much love to u Lillian

Hi Teri, I am very sorry that you had to make this decision. The climat on this site has changed and that is sad. I hope that you can leave all this behind you and focus on the things that are really important. Thank you for all you did and take care. Martha

I am sorry to hear it.This is your decision,I do not know what happened but you will be miss

Hi Teri--I understand your feelings, but at the same time, not alot of people knew what was going on. I was one of the people who got conned and sent money to help out (who I thought) needed help, so I certainly didn't "look on and do nothing". Today I was telling my mom about this website and we were discussing how in "cyberspace", people can make up their identities and life stories and fool alot of people--and yes what happened is like a soap opera. I have sent a PM to Letvia. She was sweet and caring and was fooled just like the rest of us who tried to help. We'll miss your opinions and postings of all your escapades. I hope you and soooo many other Cuties take your break, and be back when things are better around here. Take care, Daisy

I'm so sorry to hear this. I'm not sure what is going on here... I wish you all the best and will think of you. Without your postings I wouldn't have learned about my new "felting" machine...it should arrive this week. I was looking forward to sharing things. Please take care of yourself, you will be missed.

Sweet Teri, I have no idea what this is all about, and I'm sorry you feel the way you do, but it's your choice. I'll miss you sweetie, and wish you all the best for the future, hope things work out your way and that you are happy, healthy and whole. You take care beautiful lady, love and hugs to you.

I do not know what this is about either and am not happy that you are leaving I will miss you and the information , love and friendship you give to this site. I hope you reconsider as there are those that love you. Take care Lots of Love Lisa

Oh dear Teri, I'm sorry you finally took this decision, I will missed you so deeply, you always have been really important to this place and hope you change your mind. I have been thinking to do the same thing but I can't do it, I continue considering all the Cuties my family.

Love you girl.

Letvia

I do not know what this is about either and am not happy that you are leaving I will miss you,
Hugs Yvonne

Teri, thank you for your friendship, love and kindness you shared during your stay here, I surely miss you! Hugs Vix!

Dear Teri, I will miss you greatly...
Please take care of you, and may God always bless you and yours.
Love and blessings,
Yoriko

I WILL SAY THIS TO YOU AND ALL OTHERS READING MY REPLY...I WILL NEVER TAKE SIDES AND WILL NEVER BE ONE TO HOLD ANYTHING ANGAINST OTHERS...NO MATTER WHAT WE ALL DO, WE ARE STILL GODS CHILDREN AND AS GOD WEEPS WHEN HE SEES HIS CHILDREN ARGUE AND HURT EACH OTHER IN DIFFERENT WAYS, WE STILL HAVE BEEN GIVEN THE CHOICE TO CONTINUE ON OR STOP AND FORGIVE....I too am sorry to hear this and wish you all the joy and happiness you can possibly receive on this earth,,,May the LORD fill you so full of love, you will come back and let it flow on to all of us again...Sending you a big hug and smile to brighten your day and life

Sorry to hear Teri and wish you all the best. You will be missed

I am sorry you made that decision, but can fully understand it. What hurts me most is that the question is unsolved, only the victims of the con know what's going on and the do-er gets away with it, maybe even ready to try again. Hugs and love, Martine.

I'm so sorry that whatever has happened, has led you to this decision. You will be greatly missed here! Take care of yourself and your family, and may God continue to bless you!

Oh My Dear Teri, I do truly understand where you are coming from but I wish you wouldn't let the "ONE" bad apple spoil the whole barrel.

Many people have spoken out of their hats without even knowing what has been happening here and some demanding to be filled in, without realising that those of us who do know, cannot speak out openly for legal reasons.

I have been staying in the background as I do not appreciate having my integrity being called into question, but I do understand some newbies not taking what I say purely on faith and trust, because newer members do not know me.

That is no excuse though for the older members questioning my motives, they should know me better than to think I could ever say ANYTHING out of nastiness or bitchiness.

What is that saying? "Don't shoot the messenger"!!!

So, like yourself, I considered leaving, purely because I have enough to deal with and life is too short to put up with some of the crap that has been going on here lately.

BUT, then I thought, why should I let this last incident drive me away.

I'm not the guilty party, I was one of her victims, and if I leave because of it, who is going to be here to watch out for all the other Cuties and make sure it doesn't happen again?
What if she realises all the old Cuties have left and she decides to come back?

No, I don't give in, or buckle under to con artists, cheats, liars, bullies or anyone else who thinks they will take advantage of me and cause me to cower and slink away like a cur with it's tail between its legs.

I am a good person, I am a fighter, I am a defender of the people.

I will always stand up for what I believe is right, I will never run from a fight when good is on my side. I will raise my voice and my hand in defence of the oppressed, the weak and the defenceless.

And if I am left here to do it on my own, then so be it.

I do hope you will change your mind, Teri, you are much loved and needed here.

You are an integral part of Cute and a valued friend and as much as your leaving will leave a big empty hole, I respect your decision and wish you well my Friend.

Hugs n roses, Meg

I am a relative newbie and do not know what happened, but want to wish you all of the best and Gods richest blessings. I believe that He will never let things get on your way that you cannot handle, so peace be with you and you will be welcomed with open arms if you want to come back. Hugs.

Girls I have received an overwhelming response via email and I wanted to log in to say .....

Please give me time.

Too much went down over the last week on CUTE (I don't want to discuss this openly with names and such), and unfortunately has taken a toll out on me. I had to make a stand for some injustice going on for months and month regarding a particular member in this forum - and girls, that was NOT easy. This needs to be a safe place, one that we can come to and let our hair down and know we are somewhat protected (does that make sense?).

I care deeply for each person I have befriended here on CUTE! It was very hard to write what I did yesterday and it will be even harder staying away from the daily chit chat that has filled something inside of me, but like I said, I do need time.

I will log in for my PMs and freebies occasionally that Veronika has blesses us with, but I must refrain from seeing the community postings for a duration. I NEVER knew the ramifications of one person's actions over the last week in CUTE could shake the ground so hard in this community. I am truly sorry to those victimized that I didn't speak up sooner... but I just didn't know how to approach the problem. Will you all please forgive me?

For those of you that are in the dark and don't know what we are all talking about, please remain there... this shouldn't turn into a gossip session, a witch hunt or a campaign to ruin someone's life... We need to all be on guard to recognize wolves that come into the neighborhood in sheep's clothing and stand up for what is right! Confront the issue, inform those that were involved and move forward. We need to all heal from this event and find forgiveness in our hearts towards one another.

Each one of you is very beautiful… like I’ve said before, together we all make one heck of a quilt!

I know that a lot of people are wondering what this is all about. It is really too bad that there is always some kind of drama going on here as you mentioned. I haven't been here as long as a lot of people, but I do wish it was the way it was when I signed on. I wish we could all rememeber that we are ALL here for the same reason. We do ALL have something in common and that really should be the main point. I'm sure there will be a calm again. . .but there will probably be a storm brewing.
:o)

Teri, I have to respect your decision, but I am very sad to see that you have had to make it. You are one of the people that makes this such a wonderful place. When I joined and for a long while, this was one place that was always friendly, loving, and helpful with an awesome set of prayer warriors for those that needed them. It has been sad to see some who have been so quick to take offense and read insults into comments that were intended as mild, polite requests. And the latest controversy, which I know very little about, is the most tragic of all. We can only hope the the ones who make this a wonderful place can show by example what makes it so special. Something has been lost certainly, and it will never be quite the same, but I hope it will get back near to what it has been. All the best to you and I hope to see you back here soon.
Hugs and Love, Lois

Dear Rosie,
I so hate to see you go. But I do understand. Sometimes the deeds done by others take such a toll on someone that they just have to take a few steps back and just breathe.....I will miss you and your always beautiful post. Yes, some have tried to change things here to suit their liking, but all in all it is still Miss Veronika's site and I, for one, have no right to walk in and make it something that I did not have the vision to create.
Cute is and always be first and for most a site for us to learn about embroidery. The personal tab is such a joy. I love to hear from others about their lives, families, interest and adventures. Those who live in far away places give us an in-site into their cultures that most of us will never have the pleasure to personally know. So many times, so many prayers have lifted members up before the throne of God asking him for his blessings concerning our different problems in our daily lives.
When one is missing, we all wonder how they are or if they are ok. Babies being born are welcomed with heart felt prayers and words. Goodbye's are said to those who pass weather we know them or not. But with each and every word expressed, we each see into the lives of those we have come to love, admire, trust, laugh with and cry with. Newbee's have to be taught, seasoned ones must have the patience to teach and ALL of us must carry on the name of this site. It is our job to protect everyone here. To see to it that all that venture into the Cute world, if the time comes that they feel that they must go, that they know that their time spent here was a joy.
I so respect you and Meg for the stands you took. Not everyone would do that. And although I have not agreed with every stance taken here with some of the postings, I still respect that fact that these people have been here longer than me, and that things got out of hand. Things are done a certain way for a reason. You don't twist a lid on a jar from right to left for years and then decide that your gonna twist it the other way because you want to and make it right. It still will not close.
I wish you all the best. My prayers are always with you. This will heal. Yes, things will be different. But sometimes we all learn the hard way. I look forward to your return. Until then, Sweet Lady..

Teri i am so sorry that it has come to this. Was lovely to see you back. I was so excited that i even told Meg "She's back" But sadly not for long :( so my friend take your time. Pop in to let us know how you are doing. Take good care of yourself . Thinking of you always. Shalom x x
