And a big congrats for calling out JCS on their policy and for having the big enough impact to make them change their ways. Their loss for not inviting you to the 2022 issue but standing by your principles is what’s important.

I decided to add an extra Poll in the Ornament FB Group in light of your post and you're doing rather well in the voting!<br />So happy they have taken notice of the stance you have taken.

I have thought for a few years now that the quality of the Ornaments issue has deteriorated, and after buying this year's issue I had pretty much decided to stop buying it in future. I have little doubt that the lack of payment for designer's time, materials and postage has contributed in some part to the decline, so perhaps paying the designers going forward will help bring the quality back up. It looks like you have had an impact going forward, so congratulations on making a positive change even if it might have come at a cost to you. Wishing you the happiest of holidays and all the best in 2022!Melaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14721625858879821146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5920668240196977458.post-88488022260889488092021-11-24T08:26:07.792-06:002021-11-24T08:26:07.792-06:00My Frosty Friend is so adorable, Belinda.
