Meri Meri Quite Contrary

Meri joined us this summer and hit the ground running! She's already a well known community member to so many. Her reviews are very thoughtful and always informative. She's one of our beauty and home experts at Viewpoints. She's reviewed anything from kerosene heaters and crock pots to tweezers and designer perfume.

Round of applause for our new Publisher's Circle member, LoveisJoy

LoveisJoy is quite simply one of the sweetest, smartest and most kind-hearted people we have at Viewpoints. As a respected member of our community, many look to her as a source of inspiration and a beacon of light. Her personality truly glows even through the computer screen.

Pamela (aka LoveisJoy) is a budget conscious, pet lover and domestic diva who loves quilting and crafts. As a grandmother, she's always looking for great learning toys for the kiddies and other quality gifts for her family. Sewing and quilt making is her self-taught speciality. She joined us back in August 2007 along with her hubby, TheBard. The two have contributed so much to our content and community in such as short time.

If it's sewing advice you need, Pamela can surely help. Check out her review of the best computerized sewing machine she's found on the market so far. For examples of her beautiful work... check out the quilts on her profile page.

Pamela writes with a lot of genuine feeling and honesty. So much so that she's even been known to bring some to tears with her heartfelt contributions like her review of Pet Euthanasia. Lots of readers can identify with her experiences which is why she's one of our most prolific reviewers.

In the words Lionel Richie... she's once, twice, three times a lady for sure. Stop by and give her a BIG CONGRATS for reaching the Publisher's Circle with 400+ reviews!!
