Thank You for All That You Do:)

It takes a lot of time, energy and commitment to keep a team working; one which is often a thankless job done behind the scene so....
This is the place where we can, as a team, thank those who have helped us along the way and show them that they are appreciated and that we thank them.
So tell us who they are, favorite their shop and post one of their items you truly love.

[Former_Member]

Noel I hope you know that everything you do is noticed and deeply appreciated. We love you and thank you for keeping us from becoming some big gooey mess on the floor of etsy as we sure would end up if not for people just like you. Thank You!

I admit I'm not that familiar with the team, having only a few books on offer.
The more so I appreciate the person who keeps this team going.

Noel, thank you!

I like this book:

oh gosh golly - thank you Ivy - I do have to say that the Bee you all see is only because Noel keeps my evil, nasty, angry little evil twin "Rebecca" in-line and she also makes me promise stupid things like "play nice" or "let's just stay calm and see what happens before you lose your mind" - you know crap like that - she is damn good, amazingly patient and a hell of a leader - she is my example of what a leader should be:)

[slumbersoft]

Noel,
Thanks for being our fearless leader. You are great and I love your shop.

Hi Noel,
I am just beginning to get more active with this team and listing my loved books I have to part with.  Thank you so very much for making this be a Fabulous Team on Etsy!  I am so thankful to be a part of this "Vintage Books Team"  and seeing probably more books, etc. that I want, rather than I can ever sell.

Thanks so much for your hard work to make this possible for all of us and other Etsy Book lovers to find the unknown or hard to find reading material we are looking for.

You make it so exciting to browse through Team Members shops in the discussion threads and finding new friends with this Love of reading we share!

Blessings, Cyndi

PS: I can never stop at One so I selected two books, LOL!

Noel,

although I am new here and do not know you or anyone else well as yet, I know how important it is to have someone who will take their time to keep things going for the rest who participate in whatever the activity may be.

I would like to add my thanks and praise to that of the others who have come here to acknowledge your very important and appreciated efforts on behalf of us all.

Wishing you great success and enjoyment in your chosen path!

Warm regards,

James Dixon

Oh Noel, Did you say, "Hollie Hobbie" Book? I am so tempted but I just spent my Paypal $$.. Maybe later, I adore Hollie Hobbie!

Smiles, Cyndi

[Former_Member]

This team consists of members who sell a few books, sell only books, sell no books but love reading, and those who are just freaks about books.
Now you Noel are fair, equal and honest; promoting all of us, caring about all of us and basically being there when we so need you.
So you may be bashful and that is o.k. but "I don't give a fiddler's fart" what you say (pass that one on to your kids - it is their heritage) you work your rump off.

Yup I am Irish as you may have already guessed from my pic with my boy Rastafari (who is ironically Hungarian).

REMEMBER NO matter where you come from, where you are now, what you sell or what you do this team is about books and reading and learning. We should be proud and ensure our team's tag is noted in your stores VBTeam

Thank you, Noel! All of your hard work is appreciated! I was so excited to find an active vintage book team on Etsy...it means a lot to me to be in a supportive team with like-minded people. Thank you!! :)

Noel I am so lucky to be a part of this team. You are such a fantastic leader. Thank you for your support and for showing a sincere interest in helping other people succeed.

Noel you make this team just that - a team - we are not books - we are people who sell books along with so many other things. The fact that you treat us all the same is the difference. Love this one:

I would like to thank Stephanie who years ago was the creator of our team tag "vbteam". While I have been looking at threads from years ago I have uncovered that if not for Stephanie this team would no longer exist (in my opinion) as when the team was first created there were no real guidelines, etc.

So STEPHANIE I did not know just how long of a battle you fought to keep this team alive but I am ever so grateful that you did!

Ellen - you showed the initiative to create a place where new shops could get some help as they get on their feet.

That showed a lot of initiative and creativity.

You bounced your idea off the leaders and asked for their input and support before you went ahead with anything and that is a sure sign of leadership skills.

Sheryl - you know how much I value you not only as a teammate and sounding board but as a friend. An extremely intelligent and knowledgeable one at that. Your paper ephemera ideas blow me away every time I stop by your store.

JIM - some of you know that Jim was a dedicated and hard working leader on this team for many moons.
Although Jim has stepped down he is still one of our strongest supporters and is ALWAYS there for me when I need him. Not once has Jim ever told me I was crazy and not to bother him anymore.

In fact Jim is the one who supports me when I get an idea (no matter how bad it is - and there were some doozies). He always gives me a push to just go ahead and try it so thank you for not giving up on me Jim.
