What a lovely thoughtful name "Velvet Sacks", I can see myself sitting with my grandmother at the table, with her holding a vevlvet sack, pulling out trinkets and sharing the story. And a simple note in regards to this post in particular, did you ever see Pretty Woman? Julia Roberts tells Richard Gere in a tender moment "it is easier to beleive the bad stuff" It is a struggle sometimes to forget all the wonderful comments and have the negative ones stick, I am glad you are part of Kim's life to help "unstick" the negative comments and pull up the positive ones!!Catiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13211189736220105987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21612081.post-1148773609516718432006-05-27T18:46:00.000-05:002006-05-27T18:46:00.000-05:00Airmee99, I'm so sorry to hear about the loss of y...Airmee99, I'm so sorry to hear about the loss of your daughter. I can't imagine the pain of that kind of loss. After reading your comment, I went to your daughter's webpage; it's a beautiful tribute to her.

What a terrific, talented bunch of ladies. I've enjoyed seeing both your words and your work on LE.<BR/><BR/>Noel, special thanks to you for setting the record straight in the thread you started on LE the other night.

Kim talks about you often and I know it hurts you to see her hurt, it's every mother's nightmare. <BR/><BR/>Kim has so many admirers that the petty few shouldn't bother her but I know it does. As c commented "cream always rises to the top". Thanks for your comments on your blog, it means a lot to me too!nan16https://www.blogger.com/profile/16273247335538935934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21612081.post-1148438712034218572006-05-23T21:45:00.000-05:002006-05-23T21:45:00.000-05:00I've looked up to Kim as an artist for a long time...I've looked up to Kim as an artist for a long time.

I got lucky twice in the "daughters department," and I'm so grateful to have both of them in my life.<BR/><BR/>I've lurked on LE long enough that I feel like I know some of you.

She is the one artist on eBay I have admired and enjoyed looking forward to seeing her beads at any time, and can only dream of the day I can be 1/2 as good!!!. I am so happy to see all the positive comments and so happy to be able to say how I felt about all this "GOSSIP" .Kim has always talked about what a wonderful mom you are to her on her site and it is so nice to meet you here. She is an incredible artist and you are very lucky to have each other.<BR/>Amanda Craigmyle<BR/>THE CRAFTIER SIDEAmandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03912094009480950600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21612081.post-1148417975193878982006-05-23T15:59:00.000-05:002006-05-23T15:59:00.000-05:00The cream always rises to the top in the end!CThe cream always rises to the top in the end!<BR/>Ccarolynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07164058088348870227noreply@blogger.com
