I just tried to email you but thankfully noticed the no-reply address before I sent it out ;-) Here's what I wrote...<br /><br /><br />Cathryn, I'm astounded and impressed that you don't have a mobile phone! I cannot imagine life without it now....I've had one since I was 19 (2000) and now have an iphone, complete with email and internet on the move (it's a pretty crappy connection but it's there if I really need it!!). As a freelance musician, you really need a phone but well done to you for holding out!!<br /><br />I've decided to give everyone who left a name suggestion a wee present as a thank-you, so if you email me out your address to andersonrebecca[@]mac[dot]com, then I will get some beads in the post to you!<br /><br />Rebecca x<br /><br />PS Love the idea of naming a collection the Heralds of Spring! Great idea!!<br /><br />On 13 Feb 2011, at 15:41, Cathryn wrote:<br /><br />Cathryn has left a new comment on your post "Messing around with Picnik": <br /><br />I absolutely loved that last piece--and kept thinking of The Harolds of Spring!

I don't have one and don't plan on getting one either. I'd be so lost--I still haven't figured out how to load up music to my FUZE MP3 player! lol <br /><br /><br /><br />Posted by Cathryn to Songbeads at 13 February 2011 15:41Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14254291271007836270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8504705839924585584.post-68434485679832563212011-02-17T14:03:05.468-08:002011-02-17T14:03:05.468-08:00Cathryn-

I just stopped buying on Etsy because they've decided that the site should be "new and improved" and opted me in to an e-amil sharing scheme after I specifically told them not to. Love handmade and will always support it, but I do so elsewhere now.<br /><br />Thankfully most of my favorite Etsy artists have already opened shops elsewhere for the same reason I'm shopping elsewhere.<br /><br />Have you tried Aveeno daily moisturizing formula? It was recommended to me by two people with eczema, and all of the people I know with sensitive skin love it. Aveeno Etsy or elsewhere, I just hope you find something that works!tattytiarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18408220720084181008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8504705839924585584.post-83164189967585767662011-02-15T01:27:06.419-08:002011-02-15T01:27:06.419-08:00Unbelievable!!!!

But no matter who the owner, what horrible (and poorly trained!) customer service! I can't believe the guy actually said that to you... Either they went to a cheaper-to-make formula, or they think for some reason they can sell more of the new and "improved" version. In any case, obviously they've decided they don't care about the old and very loyal Burt's Bees fan base. Hope you're able to find something else that works for you!Mel Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08650096480471632691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8504705839924585584.post-41787240077760603892011-02-13T11:29:36.920-08:002011-02-13T11:29:36.920-08:00Putting customers first?

Does it really take a rocket scientist to figure out that if people do not like a new product they are not going to buy it? Therefore the bottom drops out of that "bottom line", which is to make mega bucks. But in this crazy day and age big CEOs ruin a good company and instead of getting reprimanded they get a great big multi million dollar bonus.
