Wow chain mail. When I was in school chain mail was something you hand wrote and handed to your friends personally. I took great pride in asking if it was a chain letter and if it was tearing it up before reading it. I remember my friends thinking I was insane for doing it. I took such great pride in it, I guess I should feel sorry for them since they actually hand wrote 8 letters.
We did used to write letters to each other as well, I'd always draw a frog at the bottom of mine. I can probably still draw that frog from memory

Does anyone else have constant problems with submissions to groups going in the wrong folder? So many groups have reported that this is the case to me lately and I have noticed it in my own group.

If the submission had the group  folder it randomly decided to send it to on he notification then I'd bloody well notice! I've reported this many times to no avail and it's getting worse. I don't bother submitting much because I can't guarantee it goes in the folder I choose.

I tend to go into the folder I want then hit 'Contribute' then check and triple check the drop down only from that point on wards I have no visibility of what folder it did put it into.
I wish the Site updates would have something other then Sta.sh changes! I care not for Sta.sh.

Still plenty of spots in the Give a Feature/Get a Feature, I'll be keeping it open for another week or so before awarding the prizes. Agh! I keep getting 500 errors when I'm browsing the site, it's so annoying.

I'm forever leaving groups that I used to get my submissions in, but now they are elite so I don't even try any more, if I do, always declined. It's sad when that happens and it just means I'm less likely to join and participate in groups. The bar just gets raised higher than I seem to be able to keep up with.
I'll cull groups I'm no longer participating in.

Rules
1. For each of the 20 first people answering this journal, I will put their avatar and the three deviations I like most from their gallery on the list!
2. If you answer, you have to do the same in your journal, putting me on the first place (or up the top if you already have one of these going). The idea of this is not to get a free feature, it is to spread art around for everyone!

Why does the cat insist on bugging me when all three of my desks are a mess with fabric scraps, pins, paper, patterns, scissors and great now he's chewing on something *sigh*
But I finally made my Bossun hat out of an old red handbag

It's my birthday end of next week so if anyone is inclined: Sakura from Gate-7 would make me immensely happy (especially after that latest chapter, Frumpybana is usually my fav, but hot damn Sakura!). Or if you are up for a challenge any of my OCs or fandoms or just come and say hi, trust me you'll make my day.

Cosplays are coming along (as in piles of fabric, but at least I have most of the bits now).
And Happy Easter!
