 Theme Week Tube Collections [for YOUR theme week subscribers!]

Starting, Feb. 25th, 2009: Some collections at the Lil' Ave. shoppe...are now available for "YOUR" theme week sends. [Collections will be clearly marked that are available for this type use.]  ::As a buyer you can purchase these Lil' Ave. collections and the collections "CAN" then be used to send out to "YOUR" own "theme week "email subscribers."  ::Your theme week subscribers CAN then place those Lil' Ave. collections in their OWN protected members area, for their members to use in their "finished end use creations."   [Theme weeks are usually limited to #10 subscribers, so keep that in mind.]  They are "NOT"  to be "resold" to your own  members [or "resold" in your shoppe area, or "resold" period.]  Doing any of those things would sort of defeat the purpose of me having a shoppe area of my own.  ::All other shoppe terms of use apply" so please read them and if you have any questions, plesase contact me, using the shoppe contact form::

[Thank You.]
----><----
::Donations:: From time to time I do donate tube packs to try to help out with fundraisers etc. Recently, these events have gone from "lending a supportive hand for those that truely are facing unforeseen hardships"....to "other reasons" that I can no longer continue to support. I care and I want to help my neighbor when I can, and have donated many, many times over the years, without asking for anything in return.  However, the requests for donations have increased to the point that every few days I receive requests asking me to donate [even from people that I've never heard from before, and  have never bothered to purchase and/or even visit my shoppe - until they want a donation.]  While I may contribute to fundraisers for a "good cause" I am no longer able to donate to every "auction/raffle or "just because" benefit. ::However...for " those other type requests" if you wish to contact me, I will  consider - [1.] offering a shoppe credit [at a very nice discount], for your benefit. ::Try to remember that I create because I enjoy it, but also to maintain my webite and to make a little $pending money just like you::  [2.] I may also consider trading with you. [This way...all sides win, nobody feels as though they are constantly giving, while others are always on the receiving/asking end.]  .:Thanks for understanding:.
