Cheer up Creative Cafe this is not about Entrecard Competition!

[Jill]

Creative Cafe members who are not also Entrecard members are lucky at the moment because it is so depressing over there. All the changes and fuss going on up until now I just kept saying "Wait and see" and "It will probably be Ok" and "Just give it a try". But now it's even worse. So many members leaving. So many members upset. So many members disillusioned and fed up with the latest changes. I am not even going to say what the latest changes are now because there have been so many over the last few months. And now member's comments banned on the blog and in the forums and members even being banned altogether now I heard just for being unhappy with the system. It's supposed to be a community but it doesn't feel like a community at the moment at all.

And that's when I thought maybe I have been neglecting our Creative Cafe community lately really. I don't want you our very important members to feel upset and neglected in any way and if you are an Entrecard member as well as a Creative Cafe member you probably feel like a bit of TLC is needed to help smooth over the troubles.

Well how about a Cheer Up Competition? Instead of the moody blues lets have some fun and cheer around here. The rules of the competition are to cheer up the members in anyway you can think of. Could be an amusing blog. Could be making friends with some new members with some friendly comments. Could be a good joke or satire. Could be something creatively spontaneous you think of and share with us.

We've got about 20000 Entrecard credits and $20 spare for prizes at the moment so lets see what we can come up with in Creative Cafe to cheer us all up in the next few weeks and I will be awarding the prizes out in our 2nd year Anniversary of being open which is between the first and second week in November. The prizes will be distributed depending on how many entires we get and I hope lots of you our lovely Creative Cafe members will enter and that will cheer me up if you do as well!

Bye for Now

Hi Jill
This is flawed and out of sequence so I re-entered it in a separate blog. Is it alright if you remove these entered here? Then it won't appear twice.

Glad you are enjoying the blog posts, I really need to update that soon. I gave up work earlier this year to be at home more for my daughter and to have more time for myself, but I don't know where the time goes. My day just passes so quickly, I still don't have the time to do everything I want to. We are still planning on moving, but the housing market isn't very good at the moment plus the exchange rate for the UK pound and the Australian dollar has dropped alot in the past year which is making our move difficult at the moment. We are keeping our fingers crossed that things start to pick up soon.

Thanks Lizzy. I'll do another blog about the Creative Cafe Cheer Up Competition and send it round to all our members next week. By the way I have enjoyed reading about your Australian trip on your blog recently. Glad you had a good time. Are you still planning on moving over there permanently? Bye for Now Jill

What a lovely idea Jill!
