I never used this section and I can understand why you have taken this stance. I do think it's a shame that a few have spoilt things for the many.

Joanna I too am 100% behind your decision. As a collector of your CD's, rubber stamps etc I have to say that I want the originals and NOT copies, they
look so beautiful within my craft room and I would never consider any other than buying them direct from yourself, in fact I have every one of your CD's
and love them all.
Happy crafting Yvonne |

I have never used the swaps forum either, but fully respect your decision. I agree with everyone else's comments. I can only hope the support you have
received over this decision helps you a little. With love and best wishes :Linda

I was a regular user of the swap forum and it was a great way to get rid of things you no longer needed and swap for things you could use.I must admit that i
did give away some cds that I no longer used(i can assure that they were genuine as I'm useless on the computer and wouldn't know where to start to
copy anything).I am really annoyed that yet again the actions of some ruin things for everyone else but fully agree with Joanna's decision.I made some
really nice friends through the swaps and am glad that I did not come across anyone dishonest.Joanna and team work hard and I must thank them for their
original good idea.I always thought it was safe to do the swaps as you don't expect anything underhand from Sheenies.
Once again Joanna and team thank you for having given us this privilige and I'm sorry that it has come to this.I hope whoever was involved is thoroughly ashamed of themselves. Trisha |

Hi
I only REALLY used the swaps forum once and made a really nice friend through it and we keep in touch via private email. Wouldn.t know how to make a copy even if I wanted too. What a shame Gill |

Joanna and all at Sheenie Towers has my full support in this matter!
I have several of Joannas CDs and was once asked to make a copy for someone! Needless to say I flatly refused and explained my reasons ( which I really shouldnt have had to!!) Those of us who abide by the rules are being let down by hopefully the minority who dont! But its Joanna and her wonderful team who are affected most! Its their lively hood thats at stake! Personally I think the offenders should be banned if they dont leave of their own accord! Happy Crafting Margaret xx |

I also was a regular swapper and have swapped many things (original cd's included) and luckily never had any problems at all.I will miss the oppurtunity to
do so but I fully support Joanna and the team in this decision but it so annoys me that the actions of a few dishonest people spoil things for all and i really
can't believe they had the front to do it on this forum of all places....some people have no shame

I have used the swap forum a few times in the last few months and have never been offered a copy cd, my reason for using the forum has been to swap parts of
the larger kits you get from C&C or QVC, I will miss it for this reason, but I am 100% behind Joanna and find it incredible that someone is cheeky enough
to copy and swap Joanna's cd's. It takes two to tango so someone has accepted the copies, or have I read it wrong!! Someone about 1 year ago (not on
this forum) asked me to copy a cd for them that I had just purchased, I said no, so I know it does happen.
Love Helen |

I really can't put what I'd like to on here else I'd be banned from the forum myself ...................
Suffice to say I hope the guilty people are banned from being on the forum at all......... we are all grown up people who know what illegal means. If they had stolen stuff from a shop they would be arrested. People who do this kind of thing make me sick. With you 110% Joanna, Richard & the team. C xx |

I have used the swaps forum a couple of times and have swapped genuine CDs. I have been very happy with the swaps, but I support this move 100%. It is bad
enough that copies are sold on E-bay, but to have the brass neck to offer copies on this forum is beyond belief!

I think it's a sad world when people steal from friends, because I am sure everyone on here considers Joanna to be their friend.

I've never used the swaps page, but I'm sure a lot of people found it really useful. What a shame one or two have to spoil it for everybody else. I
support your action though, Joanna. I personally wouldn't want a copy. I love to see all my cds displayed in my craft room, in their lovely cases!!

I'm another who has never actually used the swap forum, but I have had a browse through on occasion. I fully support your decision Joanna, it can't
have been an easy one to make.

I agree totally with your decision, Joanna. What an awful thing that anyone should feel that they can do this, and on your own board too. Although I have only
used theswap board once, I can understand that you had to take this action, and quickly.

As a recent swapper I will certainly miss the swap thread.
However, if it has got out of hand with copy CD`s I do understand why it needs to finish. Lynette x |

I completely concur with what everyone is saying and I think your message was very elequently put. Personally I have never used the swaps but I find it hard to
believe that this has happened. It is often the few that spoil it for the majority. Nannywendy xxx
