    I am SO sorry to hear that your accountant has pancreatic cancer. This breaks my heart. I pray that God will give him a miracle and heal him. I pray that God gives him courage and strength, and I pray for his family as well.

    Please don't worry about the MOC coupons. That is nothing compared to what he is going through. I had so much fun participating in the MOC. That made it worth it for me! I, too, was getting worried about TLP. I'm so glad you informed us of the situation. I'm sorry you are under so much pressure with this. I wish there were something I could do to help.

    That's an option, Sandy. I'm all caught up with the challenges so far (except what's coming up in AJ for May, which haven't been posted yet). I guess I'm just a fast scrapper and I always try to pace myself, but I never do. That was just me talking - I'm easily bored I guess and it would be nice to have specific challenges or just do two pages for every challenge. Haha

    @lmccandless In the grand scheme of things, coupons for a scrap challenge slide waaaaaaaaaaaaay down the list of priorities in life, especially when facing a life battle. Ya probably coulda given a heads up sooner- to avoid the questions- but YOU too are human and when life gets crazy,:circles each of us are prone to drop at least one ball- me? I've dropped many! So, "Grace, grace!":heartlub and prayers for the accountant and his family!!!:angel

    Reading this thread is so heartwarming, all the love and support shown by our amazing members. Prayers to your accountant and his family as they deal with his illness. And hugs to you Laura @lmccandless as you work through the process on your own with Jason.

    @lmccandless Laura, thank you for the MOC update and summary and reassurance about TLP. I am sorry to hear about your accountant and will keep him and his family in my prayer.

    Thank you and your team for everything you do behind the scenes and online. It’s a stressful time for you and I echo what other members said about the MOC coupon.

    Thank you our dear, sweet Laura for being YOU! We are so blessed to have this family of ours and all of its members, including your accountant. Everyone is so important! When a family member suffers, we feel their suffering and fervently wish they didn’t have to go through it.

    He and his family are in my daily prayers. I’m also praying for you and your peace because I understand how emotionally traumatic and stressful things like this can be.

    Just know we love you and support you. I’m more than happy to forfeit my gift certificate if it helps the situation at all. Your peace of mind is more important to me than $20. Much love!

    @lmccandless What a sad thing to hear. Prayers to him and his family. Thank you so much for the update. Don't fret over the MOC GCs. The later we get them the more new stuff will be in the shop for us to drool over!

    There’s always the Why it works challenges to complete ladies!

    As for the update, thank you to all the behind-the-scenes people at the Pad, for me it’s not about the GC, it’s about scrapping and this community for me. (Although I am SO curious to see who the new Polly and Guest Polly’s are!) Wishing you strength and give our best to the accountant and his family, this is so horrible....

    Cancer is a terrible disease and unfortunately almost everyone has been touched by it these days, my thoughts are with all the family and friends. Like others I just loved the MOC and the satisfaction of completing it. Take care of yourself and please don't stress about the timing on the vouchers.

    I am so very sorry to learn of your friend's illness. I wish him the best. I am pretty sure that most of us do the MOC challenges for the experience, fun, tons of layouts completed, etc. The GC is a wonderful bonus, but certainly not the reason that I participate in these challenges. You will get this. Don't stress. Much love to you and everyone involved at The Lily Pad.

    So sorry to hear of the his health issues. That is so hard. Prayers for him m and his family. I appreciate all you do and am no hurry. I love the challenges because it really challenges me creatively. I have really learned a lot and scrapped some stories or ideas I never would have otherwise. Anything else is just a bonus.

    This thread is such a reaffirmation to why I so love TLP! No disrespect intended but designers aside, this is such a wonderful community I'm so proud to be a part of! :grouphug

    It's so sad news. It's completely understandable what you are facing and how difficult it must be. Take your time, it's not a top priority in my life, MdR! I'm here for pleasure, first. Certificate is just a bonus. Thanks for everything.

    Wow wow wow. Look at this thread. I'm with everyone else who has said that this is the coziest, friendly, supportive, most love-filled place on the web. I am so happy to be part of this community.

    Biggest hugs to all the people behind the scenes. Our certificates will get here when they get here, they are not going to lose their value. I am looking forward to scrapping my way to and through another MOC next year!
