I have been SO darn tired lately. I was just here reading my comments because I KNEW it would make me happy, and they DID!! MWAH!! But then I realized I forgot the most IMPORTANT thing I wanted to say in my earlier post...
I have ONE thing and ONE thing ONLY to say about the drama that is going on at DST about me!
Team, Customers, Fans, Friends, THANK YOU! Thank you so soooo VERY MUCH!!! You guys are LOYAL man, I mean LOYAL! 100% of ANY Drama that arose about me, MY TEAM and the the new Shoppe was QUICKLY stopped by SOOOO many of you! SHOCK, I was TRULY SHOCKEDDD! Not that I didn't have faith in you but for you all to REALLY go out of your way to come to my defense BLOWS me AWAY! Thank you, thank you all SOOO VERY MUCH!
I am off to make something for you now :)!

OMG ....how could someone???? What's there name and let me at'em... (I promise not to hurt them to bad) {evil grin}. Wow, I guess I must have missed it. {shrug} Probably a good thing though cuz I probably wouldn't have been so nice. So I feel so excited to be the dang someone beat me at the first comment on y our blog today {big'ol grin}. I so hope you are getting some rest and your little one has his mommy back..oh yeah, and I'm sure your husband is glad to have his wife back. LOL Ok so I'll leave you alone. {hugs} Hope you have a WONDERFUL Friday! And I'll check back later on you.
hey christina, your customer service is great, you are such a great person and sooo sweet and dear! If one or two don't think that way, ok, thats their problem and shouldn't be yours! You have done anything you and your team could do! You're all the best!!!
And now, get some rest and enjoy the success *hugs*
You are AMAZING A-MAZING!!! And any drama brought up was MAYBE one comment out of THOUSANDS praising you!! You go girl! You deserve any and all successes!
You're just going to have to accept that you are loved - then the unbridled enthusiasm, affection, and support you receive won't surprise you quite so much :D
Hey, just so you know (even though you've heard it a million times by now): you seriously have the COOLEST, most incredibly inventive, and knock-your-socks-off-outrageous inspiration gallery on the planet!
I have emailed you twice since I first placed my order at your site using your contact form.
I have tried using two different email accounts on my end and two different computers.
One of the files is corrupt. Three days have passed since I first emailed you and would hope that you may at least respond to me saying you got it and will help. I know for me, I try to acknowledge people within 24 hours even if I can't help them right away.
Would you please let me know if you at least got my request?
Order Number: 1542 - Lil Fan Fare Corrupt File (I've downloaded on various computers and only have two download options left).
:)
Hello,
I am having problems on your site, I love your stuff, and would love it all. I know you are busy, but I have placed an order, your site went down and I am unable to get my stuff for which I have been charged. I am having communication problems. Looking forward to resolving this asap....
thanks and congratulations on your site. Hope the bugs are out soon.
Hugs,
Linda
Ok I don't go there much so I don't know of this DRAMA but I'm confused as to how someone, ANYONE could have anything bad to say about you!! Really that's just nuts,, you are fantastic, and I've had NOTHING but pleasent interaction w/ you. So to whomever they are, they can go STUFF themselves... lol
hallo, congratulation for the great success of your shop, i could tell a lot of what i´m thinking about you in german, but i´m sure you won´t understand, so you have to take the short version in english, you´re great, your creations and the way you handle it. i took my part of the drama, it took me a really long time to get the files i paid for, but that´s not your fault. the problem is, you have tooo many fans and each of them tries to get the kits the same time. let me just repeat what denali said 5 comments earlier.
hugs, nighty
Ya gotta know there are people who just love to get their panties in a knot! Just gotta ignore them and feel sorry for them :)
Hope things smooth out for you and the site!
I love your designs. They are so original and by far the best I have come across in digital scrapbooking. Love the work and despite the initial problems with the web site. I came back, and I am happy I did. I must also add, from a web designer point of view, your web site looks absolutely amazing. It pulls you into its own world.
Christina....you are so gracious. A real LADY! And Talented to boot!
I don't have a lot of your products- so I don't really consider myself as a "fan", but I could smell that crap a mile a way and needed to speak out... BTW- did you see the view count for the threads? LOL
Well...I'm sure we've all heard this growing up "You can't please all of the people all of the time." Guess this is just one of those cases...besides, it seems that there are people out there who ENJOY being miserable and creating DRAMA!! It seems to make them feel VERY important!! Regardless...I love your stuff...I think you have handled this with grace, and tact, and WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY more patience then I ever would have been able to...I'd have told her where to stick it quite a bit ago. So Kudoo's to you for being a bigger/better person then I am sure a lot of us would have been.

Thank you for the extensive explanation! This was my very first time purchasing from you and I honestly did not know what was going on...now that I do, will you please add me to the list of people who due to your technical difficulties was not able to download items purchased. And know that I definitely will be a regular, because I love the stuff in your shoppe!!

I love, that you see the good site of the drama.
All your customers, team and friends would not have had the chance to defend you, if not someone had said something, so we all had possibility to show, how much we love you.
now you know (as if you did not before :-))
I just recently discovered your work viewing the previews and layouts at DST (which I also just started going to) and was very excited about your designs. I appologize to your regular fans who couldn't get there order because I was on there too trying to get everything NOW! It's just too cool! You have resent me a link for the one that I couldn't get, but that still didn't work. I'm going to sneek in and try it again in the wee hours of the morning when hopefully most everyone else is sleeping and your site isn't so busy. If I still can't get it, I'm sure that you will help me when you can after the dust settles. Keep up the great designs and ignore the negative nellies!
Love ya girl...Don't listen to the drama...
Keep creating.
Although I am still having trouble with Customer Service (I can't get them to answer me), when you have such an awesome store and collaboration with SP for a store kick-off, I fully expected the difficulties and I must say that whoever had anything bad to say is a complete idiot if they expected something different. CR rocks and French Countryside is the greatest kit EVER!
I don't understand why people have to cause the drama in the first place. Can't we all just get along and give patience, understanding & compassion to each other the way we'd like others to give it to us if we're in a sticky situation? Hugs to you Christina & you're rockin' team! People need to remember that you've barely had time to breathe since you started putting your designs out here. And, with all this excitement, none of it will be worth it if your family suffers or if you're beyond exhausted. OK...I've said enough. ;) {{Christina}}!
Christina we know you love us!!!!
Ok, I'll admit....I really wasn't gonna commenton this...but it's just buggin' me!!!
I think that comment from Holly McCaig above was totally unprofessional.
OK...I feel better now! ;-)
Hi Christina,
Oh I wasnt going to even get involed in the DST drama... but I finally had to get my two cents in... I was in a mood of all moods that day thanks to several different "DRAMAS" going on in my own life... and seeing that about such a sweetheart just put me over the edge royally.... and I held back on what I really wanted to say as I didnt think that it was the right place to do so.....
Just know I luv ya girl... and I know u are doing the best you can... and your team has been fantastic too....
I agree with Sondie's comment... about a previous comment here... UNCALLED for.... and totally wrong place to address the situation.. Shame shame...
Anyways... I luv ya girl...
Get in touch with me when u get a chance... I have some thing I want to talk to you about.... Unrelated to any of the drama...
Hang in there and stay strong!!!
HUGS

Rah-rah-rah! Sis-boom-bah! Christina Renee Designs are the best! Rah-rah-rah!
Always gonna be your cheerleader, CR! You RAWK!
I had tried to get onto the store earlier this week and had problems connecting. Now I understand why!!! Just so glad that I checked back. WOW! Thanks so much for the great sales and the wonderful collab kit! I am happy to report I purchased 10 items with 25 files. I was able to download all of them with no problems!!! Thank you so much!!!! BettyJoR
well!! personally, I just discovered your designs about the time you were going to open your new store.
SO, I waited patiently, checked the site, just to tease myself. I wanted to wait for the grand opening. I didnt want to miss anything. But, I did. I missed the first few days of GO. So, I missed all the drama. I am sorry that people dont understand the MAGNATUDE of your undertaking.
DONT THEY UNDERSTAND THEY ARE BUYING FROM A FAULOUS DESIGNER that is imho is of the level...so many want your designs. Its a tag sale at MACYS!! (do you watch So you think you can dance? I want to screen like MARY...you are on the hot tamale train, girl!!)
Okay...of to BUY!
jules
Just wanted to throw in my support for an outstanding designer! Christina, I LOVE your stuff ~ I don't usually buy anything, since I design it myself, but I find myself coming back to you again and again. Just bought the Collab Kit - oh man! How delicious is that?! I can't get in to download it... but I'll keep trying! I sure can't get mad because someone is making so many sales her site goes down! Haha! Best of luck, Girl!
Oh! And I just realized you just live "down the street" from me! I live over in Frisco!
I think you are handling things great, Christina! I'm so excited for you! Your stuff is awesome!
Christina........I love you and your stuff !!! I have read about the drama and all I can say is that you did your best to resolve it !! You are so in my top three of most awesome designers.....not only when it comes to the gorgeous scrap designs but also the person behind the designs. You are so generous and sweet. Love ya !!!
Hugz,
Biancka
I have your back too Christina! Don't bother yourself with people like that. You are AWESOME!
Khristy
Dearest Christina - don't know what the fuss is about, but you need to go take care of YOU, ignore the horrible people and CREATE, CREATE, CREATE ... I need to spend the DH's money on something, right? And what better than a Christina Renee kit!!! Hugs and love to you
Sorry for the yucky ol' drama. :(
Just wanted to let you know I LOVE your new designs! I'm HUGE fan of your amazing work!!! THANK YOU!
Jealously is a curse Chicky! Don't let them get to you. Keep your head high and soak up the excitement! Your stuff RAWKS girl!!
xoxo
I totally agree with the person that said jealousy is a curse. I'm so sorry that a few negative, rude, and self-centered people feel the need to create drama, and then try to stir it back up when it is starting to die down!
Christina, you are the BEST and having problems with a GO is almost inevitable in digi-land these days!
I also agree with those who have said that there is some very unprofessional behavior going on. Especially since the really ridiculous and uncalled-for stuff is coming from designers and store partners!!! Now that the dust is settling, I'm glad that some are showing their true colors. I like my hard-earned $ to go to nice people whenever possible!!
drama again? LOL! I've been so out of it the past couple of weeks!
With your AWESOME designs, I totally EXPECTED that your grand opening wouldn't be smooth as silk...but that's life! Gotta be patient for something that's just amazing, right?!?!?
I was, and I think you and your team did a FANTABULOUS job!!!! Congratulations!!!
I just discovered your blog and I LOVE your scrap style! I look forward to seeing more of your work! I was not able to get into your store, but I'll be back and try again real soon! Thanks so much.
Hugs,
Nadine
I missed all the drama! LOL! You are awesome and so are your designs... and so there is bound to be people who are out of sorts about that!
We love you and we're all here to support you through thick and thin!
Stef
LOL I'm loving some of the comments your getting. See girl...if you are not creating your AMAZING work...then us loyal fans would haven't nothing to spend our money on. Now with that being said. ROCK ON GIRL!!! Who cares what others think... it's what your TRUE fan and team believe is what honestly matters and we think you are IT.
I hope your feeling better today... keep us updated. Tell your hubby
"Happy belated Birthday" for me.
