Thanks for letting us know. I like your designs. The extra downloads might be due to the Crosses and such that make wonderful Easter gifts. I already had them, so didn't need to download again.
1983Thats cool I need to donate later on when you are up and running Thanks for letting me know. You have awsome patterns!!!!!

29801Happy Easter to you as well and will wait til you are back up to download design. You are so gracious with your designs.
48168Rather than answering everybody in this thread separately: Thank you all for your comments and uplifting words. Our "break" is not a disaster - just an unconvenience at this time. In the end it is better to have "too much traffic" than "none" :c)
13586To B & M -
I have so greatly enjoyed and appreciated the gifts you have offered on your site and have been a regular visitor for a long time. I can understand why people would want to see the wonderful designs you create and download them.
I'm sad for you that you have been put into this predicament, especially considering your generosity in offering such beautiful gifts.
I'm glad that other people have now found your site and can share your designs.
Your designs are unique and stitch out so perfectly.
I especially thank you for the beautiful Easter bags you created and offered some time ago. I'll be using them and my family will be delighted with them. Also the little FSL butterflies are just enchanting.
Thank you for letting us know the situation and that when things calm down again we will be able to visit you once more. I look forward to looking at your designs again in a month or two.

7293Thank you for letting us know what has happened. Your designs are wonderful--and you have been very kind with all that you have shared with us. Guess, it does not take very many Yahoo groups to overload any site. H&*

22300It is not a surprise to me that so many people want your designs. They are both beautiful and unusually
creative. I am most grateful for your generosity. I am also grateful that you will be back in May. I'll be waiting for your return. God bless you.
9945I am so sorry that the donations were eaten up by the volume. I am not sure wether to be happy for you or sad. I am glad you let us know because I would have hit the panick button if I saw your site off line. Happy Easter to you as well.

We are not sad - we got a lot of lovely feedback from people who obviously didn't know our page at that point. We're just glad we caught the problem before it became too big. I was just checking the web-log files of this weekend, and it seems my assumption was right. Most "referer" links came from yahoo-mail-groups, and if many people download the whole webpage at once, it just multiplies up. I think once people "know" about the site, the traffic will be more distributed and easier to handle.

360429Thank you for the explanation and the wonderful designs you have so generously given to us
57801Thanks for all you gave us and I hope you will get your link away from where it's get wrong. Made some of your lovely butterfly's, chicks and from the bags I will make a doily. Hugs from Holland and hope to see you back in May, Have a great Eastern, Yvonne
34172So sorry that your expenses tripled. The designs are wonderful, and it's no surprise that other people loved them. Perhaps this will give us all a little extra incentive to stitch out some designs for the holidays or for gifts or our own use. Thank you so much for offering these beautiful designs.
Hugs,
Jacqueline
