I have to say Nagi as well she is just awesome I wanted a few frit samples and she sent me a whole box. Just such a sweetie

rncats2003 · #32 2007-07-31, 5:05pm

I vote for Mr. Smiley too. What he is doing to help out someone else is so commendable. What a fantastic gesture.

NLC Beads · #33 2007-07-31, 5:13pm

I vote for BubbyAnne - she can use a smile.

lunamoonshadow · #34 2007-07-31, 5:17pm

I vote for Milyn! (Smilyn here on LE)...She sent me a totally fun box of shorts, with the most hysterical little "inserts" in it--she had cut out pictures of SHORTS from a catalog as inspiration!!! I sat in the post office parking lot laughing myself silly!!

chrissij · #35 2007-07-31, 6:15pm

Bonnie that's sooooo sweet of you to nominate me!!!

I'd nominate you in return, but I think Bubby needs it.

Phoenix · #36 2007-07-31, 6:27pm

Doing great guys- and you are welcome to nominate someone else if it catches your fancy

I like her sense of humor too.

I second that.

I whole heartedly think Sandy (slcuniques) should get it!! She has been so much help to me in so many ways lately! I have a box full of pm's from her loaded with great advice, info and help. First, see was full of wisdom when I came to her with questions about hosting my first exchange. I ran into a few unexpected problems and didn't know how it handle them and since she is the queen of exchanges I contacted her. She even gave me her personal phone number so she could talk to me about all the questions I had. How is that for help! Then she also wrote me practially a book of instruction on wire wrapping and gave me links for info and tons of extra help not to mention her valuable expertise!!

I had planned on making her something even though I felt a little silly (and embarrassed) sending someone so knowledgable a newbie gift, I have been trying to think of a perfect way to thank her for all she has done for me lately and this would be perfect!!!!

So, please consider Sandy!

Thanks!!

Shawn T! For being the BEST moderator EVER!!!!

or...if you want another name to throw in the hat....

Mintleaf/Alaina....she sent me the most special gift of glass last year! It made me CRY!!

or....Listenup/Kay..she *needs* more frit

--she provides all of us with such a GREAT resource with her amazing frit testing pages (and omg, what incredible patience to do all those repetitive beads, testing the frits in the "same conditions" for each frit, making all those sample beads, photoing them & posting them so we can see how they perform & make our buying decisions!!

josielv · #40 2007-07-31, 7:55pm

ohhh, ShawnT is a sweetie!!

beadbroad · #41 2007-07-31, 8:44pm

I have to put in votes for a couple of backstage people. Sylvie Anne is one of the friendliest and most positive people around, and Bairdbeads is another gem.

Aww, you're sweet Josie! Hey, how DID you like all those?! Have you used them up yet?

You need to send me pics of what you made!!!

calumey · #43 2007-07-31, 8:50pm

I nominate SuzyQ (Susan Sheehan).

She's always so generous with glass and tips. She got me hooked on glass, how can I not nomiate her?!

Plus, she's in a new home and new town. I think after the stress of moving, she needs something to take a breather and smile

joycerenee · #44 2007-07-31, 9:10pm

I nominate Moth. Her tutorials are fabulous & she's incredibly generous in sharing her techniques.

Joyce

angelique_redhead · #45 2007-07-31, 9:16pm

I nominate Jana. When we went to KC for Mr. Smiley's class she was really helpful, brought us stuff, recommended places to eat and stay and is an all around wonderful person. Thanks, Angelique

karla.p · #46 2007-07-31, 9:38pm

chrissij...always friendly, loves her girls to bits, and works on volvos! Also been thru a rough patch... love her to have something nice!

Phoenix · #47 2007-07-31, 9:39pm

ok- now I want to win the lottery so I can pass these out willy nilly!

silkys · #48 2007-07-31, 9:48pm

ya know .. Nikki does some pretty increadable selfless things . I will never forget her going back though threads to find pic of bead I lost so she could remake and resend to me .
There are so many here that have touched my life and the life of others . It will be very hard to pick jessica. I think I will send up some hopes for you to win the lotto .

charo · #49 2007-07-31, 10:07pm

I vote for jaccarney who was so helpful to me when I asked about her photography. She gave me all sorts of advice and was just great! I'm new here but she spent so much of her time to help me anyway.

Yeah, Bubby has my vote too, besides you.

debim · #51 2007-07-31, 11:32pm

I think Amber - *Naos* should get it. She is extremely kind and encouraging to people, freely shares her knowledge and tips. She has been incredibly helpful to me ( a newbie) anytime I have a question.

Phoenix · #52 2007-08-01, 6:50am

Keep it going guys - there's still time to nominate!

Heck- if you haven't been nominated- go do something nice and let someone else nominate you

lunamoonshadow · #53 2007-08-01, 7:47am

If I vote for NIKKI will you keep her from hurting me??

(I mean, she sends me care packages, makes sure I get a rod of coral so I don't go into total "new coral withdrawal" every time she gets more corals, she anneals my beadies for me, & well, she just all around ROCKS!! Plus I know she's making loads of beadies for beads of courage AND she runs lots of "charity" auctions on ebay--she's even got one up right now--the missionfish approved kind

--she's just an all around sweetie! Oh & her year has kinda sucked--they keep "losing" people where she works

...like, in *bad* ways....sigh....)

lunamoonshadow · #54 2007-08-01, 7:48am

Of course, with $25 worth of glass, Chrissij could make 10,000,000 of her tiny beads! And I

her beads that she keeps sprinkling throughout the community with abandon!!

Thanks, Debi ~hugs~ - but I got glass coming outta my...well, you get the idea!

Somebody else needs it more than me. It's hard to pick just one person, though. So many have been through tough times lately yet are still giving...

10,000,000!?!?! I dunno...

and as far as the with abandon sprinkling goes, I gotta' do "something" with 'em.

jensy · #57 2007-08-01, 10:03am

Hey, what about Corri Dawn for creating this site we are all addicted to. Without her we would not even be talking about this/

Yvon · #58 2007-08-01, 1:48pm

Mr. Smiley - the current fund raiser isn't the only big thing that he has done for others.

Um, can you delete all that other stuff before someone believes you?

Silkys and Lyn, thanks, I appreciate it, but I'm in the glass everywhere category, too - other people can use it more.

(But you did make my day.)
Nikki

twiggyinaz · #60 2007-08-01, 6:34pm

This thread is a great statement about how great this glass community is...

I personally have been helped by Kimberly Affleck more than anyone.

Her tute that she posted for her seahorse twisties is the one thing that helped me not only make stringers, but finally started to feel the glass and understand how it flows and stretches and also contracts into itself. I was amazed that she encouraged people to try to make their own seahorses...how many people would be that generous?

Also, when I met her at the Best Bead Show, she told me to spend my money on glass. She was sooooo right! Buying glass liberated me to play with colors and not be afraid to waste a little bit experimenting and trying new things.

I am completely "self taught", which in my case means that I have never taken a class from anybody. I have learned a ton from this forum, other forums and miscellaneous online sources.

These two acts by Kimberly have furthered my glass experience more than anything else. I have seen many posts where people are looking for help or have questions, and she freely gives what she can to them.

I know there are many people deserving a glass treat and recognition, and I am really glad I am not the one who has to pick from all these great testaments! Good luck Phoenix, this is going to be tough!
