Hmmmm - I think I'm guilty at times of the one word response. Never mean to sound abrupt, but sometimes I don't have a lot of time, and don't want to ignore the pictures without making a comment so the person knows it has been seen and admired. I'll be mindful of that in the future and my apologies to anyone I may have offended.
To add to my earlier post about people letting us know when they have received a packet, I neglected to add that most times I have received lovely PM's, handwritten thank yous and even little gifts of appreciation. All of which were much appreciated and I always PM a thank you.
