I am amazed that she has not run out of steam yet. She's starting to get a little crazier sounding, though and this is good. Just makes her reporting to the "authorities" all the more authentic. Saying that they are giving her case numbers-puhleeze!!!! The only case number she will get is hers.
On one of the "fraud' posts, she states, in huge, bold letters that "Tax laws do not accept ignorance". U, I sure hope you remember those words-you see, I know something you don't-and when you find out, I hope I am there to see you eat those words. Would you like me to bring some salt-you can add them to the words and to your wounds.?
BTW, everybody, check out http://www.ulljas.com/ Nope-it isn't her site. Somebody bought the name out from under her. . It's a fact filled site with links as to who the fraud really is. (Grab that mirror Ullja and you will see who I mean.)

Artfire kiosk now on Facebook
This is so cool. Artfire has created a Facebook app for the verified members, that will put your studio on your FB page-either your personal one or your business page. It works a lot like the Rapid Cart feature -click, fill in info, pay and you have purchased from an artifre shop.
I was amazed at how easy it was to install, too. I'm mostly all thumbs when it comes to techno stuff like that, but the instructions for adding it were amazingly simple. It might have taken me 10 minutes to put it on both pages. I love this new feature.
Add something to your Artfire studio and it automatically updates to your kiosk on FB. Here's the Help Guide link. https://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=help_guides&op=facebook_kiosk If you are a verified seller on Artfire, you should use this. The kiosk link is in a tab, so it's not like it you are spamming friends and family with your work. That's one of the things that really appeals to me about it.

Friendship
Freindship is one of those words that means something different for each individual. The following story illustrates what it means to me.
Recently a group of people I am friends with had a serious falling out with a friend I will call friend B. Things were said and written that were taken the wrong way and it turned into a first rate disaster. The whole thing made me incredibly sad because I liked all who were involved. Then, even more unkind things were said. I didn't really say anything, because I figured it would die out. It didn't. I found myself distancing myself from the group telling myself I had other things on my plate, but when I looked at the truth of the matter, I realized that I didn't like what they were saying. It wasn't right-pure and simple. I usually have the ability to see both sides of an issue which can sometimes really complicate my life when situations like this arise. I was still friends with people in this group of friends and I was still friends with B.
Then, something wonderful happened for B. As soon as I heard it, I was grinning from ear to ear and couldn't wait to congratulate her. I was so happy for her. Other people weren't and again, there were unkind things said. I spoke up, saying basically that I thought it was great. I'm sure that did not earn me many brownie points, but I had to say it. After saying that, I withdrew a little more. A few days later, a friend in the group, friend A, made it known that she was very sad and down over what had happened. Now A has had, what to me, is a rough year and is a person with a very kind heart. I had no doubt that she was indeed, feeling awful about what had occured. It made me feel bad for her because she is a friend, too. She and B had been very close. I hated the fact that 2 friends of mine were no longer friends. After giving it careful thought, the next time B and I were in contact, I let her know in a roundabout way, that A was sad over the broken friendship. She seemed kind of surprised, but after we talked a little more, she said that , she would be open to seeing what could be done to patch up the friendship. That made me happy. B also told me that she was going to do something so that some of the friends in the group would not feel caught in the middle of this problem. and she did it. It wasn't unkind or anything, but again, within the group there was a lot of dissention over what B had done. That was kind of like the final straw to me. I told B I was going to stand up and speak my piece. She told me I didn't need to defend her, but she also knew that she couldn't change my mind about it. She knows me pretty well. So I spoke my piece, again saying why B had taken the action she did. I was tired of all the crap being said and didn't care.
The group felt that I was "telling tales out of school" and in a way, I suppose I was. I lost many friends in the group. Was it worth it? Yes it was. A and B are talking and working on repairing their friendship. I am still friends with both of them and dear friends they both are, too. Do I miss what I lost by doing this? I do, but knowing that my friends are working on the friendship they nearly lost forever helps fill the void of what I lost by intervening. I know they will be there for me while my personal life unravels like badly made twine. That's what my idea of friendship is.

Some thoughts and some things I have learned
1. The incredibly talented artists who have been slandered in the fraud blog are representative of what the blogger wanted to do, but couldn't. She is jealous of the talent they have and their creativity. I think that has a lot to do with why she "allegedly" bought their beads last year and"allegedly" resold them as "her" creations. She wanted credit for the beauty of the beads. I've always thought that to create beauty, beauty must be inside your heart or soul. It seems apparent that this blogger doesn't have that.
2. The amount of venom and spite that one person can spew out is amazing. I didn't think a human being could contain all that much hate and not explode. I can't stand being mad for 10 minutes, let alone carrying on a vendetta like this. That's carrying a lot of anger around for a very long time. Wonder how her health is? Bet that BP would register on the Richter scale.
3. I have realized that Etsy admin can be...responsive. When I reported the sock puppet purchase she made from me, I got an uncanned email from them. I was quite surprised. I'm used to that on Artfire, but not Etsy.
My mom always saw the best in people, no matter what kind of idiots they were. I have tried to do that through out my life also. It usually works, but not now. I despise bullies and that's all this is-cyber bullying, cyber stalking, whatever you want to call it. I call it cowardice. She knows she will never have the level of talent these people do, so she tries to harass and bully them. Well, guess what? Somme people can't be bullied. I know several people like that and I am one of them.
This blogger claims to be a Christian woman. She needs to remember that "pride goeth before a fall".
