Theres her side and then theres the TRUTH!




Howdy do ole man Magoo here bringing you the 3rd installment of Jamie's story.  This time were bringing a little more truth to the matter with some documentation of WHO's telling the truth and WHO"s the liar!  Again the e-mails Jamie and I shared and Jamie's e-mail experience with our resident fraud
Therealsherrimitchell.

Original contact letter to Magoo:

From: Jamie
Subject: Dear Mr. Magoo,
To: Me, Mr. Magoo
Date: Friday, September 25, 2009, 6:20 PM

If I could meet you in person I would kiss you! Thank you for exposing your niece and letting me know that I am not the only one to be taken advantage of by her. It is a horrible feeling to have someone try to steal from you and her actions made me stop selling/creating for a long time because I was so hurt. I have wanted to comment to you on the blog, but honestly I was afraid she would figure out who I was and began harassing me again. She is very unstable and scary to deal with in any manner.

No more!  No one should have to cower to her empty threats anymore!  Now that they know they are just that, "EMPTY"!

She is possibly the most hateful human being I have ever met. Thank you for fighting the good fight and know that your blog has allowed me to put some closure to the pain she has caused me. Jamie

Your welcome and I'm so proud of you and the others stepping forward to share your unfortunate experience with TRSM.  The stories are identical because this is her pattern, this is what she does.  She lures you in and then when she is caught in her lies, copycatting and head games she spews forth empty threats, vile e-mails, and then spreads false rumors about what REALLY happened.  The more people come forward, the more speak out, the weaker she gets and the innocent are warned/saved. 

2nd contact letter to Magoo:

Re: Hey There Joe!
Tuesday, October 6, 2009 3:04 PM
From: Jamie
To: Me, Mr. Magoo

Hey Joe  :)

Lord no I have never spoken with her. Only through the emails I have copied for you below. She contacted me at my ETSY store (January 2008) and ranted and raved over my ledger paper and ephemera. She said she would love to feature me on her blog and show my "beautiful goodies” I said that was fine. Now, looking back, I believe she was hoping/expecting that I would send her the things for free so I could be featured on her blog.

No doubt she wanted those as freebies...she needs every penny she can get with all her financial troubles.  (All self-inflicted I might add). 
Might as well throw in thats about all she has is pennies.
She likes to present herself online as quite the opposite of what she faces everyday in her reality.

I shipped the order in a US postal flat rate box. I used leopard print paper to pack around and cushion the order. (This is important later:) I also used a decorative cutout of three antique eggs that I printed out on real ledger paper and placed on each item she ordered. Then I punched out scalloped cutouts of ledger paper as a Thank You gift. It was these pieces that sunk her ship in the end as you will see.

Sure did and you did good.  Everyone visiting will be able to see now as well. 

(Photo of the paper Jamie used to send to TRSM).

So. A week later I received a PayPal dispute saying that she had never received her order and wanted her money refunded.

(Sounds typical of her).

I had been running my store for over a year and had NEVER lost a package. I had over 700 sales at that point and was at a 100% feedback rating. I immediately refunded the money and went on ETSY to apologize to her. She had closed her account. So then I went to her blog to apologize and there on her blog were photos of the things she had bought from me and she was saying they were a "gift" from a friend!!!!

(Yep she lies, she lies more than she utters truths, and when confronted what did she do?  She pulled a RealSherriMitchell, read on).

I was speechless. I have never had someone steal from me before. My husband made screen shots (he does own a computer consulting company by the way:), and then I sent her the first email. The rest played out over the next two days and you can read all the emails and the PayPal transaction below.  Read them from the bottom up because I do not have the computer skills my husband has and I just copied and pasted them to Word.
(I put them in order for ya. See Jamies two previous blog entries ).

By the way, she blamed the whole thing on poor Madison. And you can see that she has a PayPal account with Madison's name on it too. Rotten. To. The. Core.

This one?  :O)

(Copy of original paypal transaction).

(What does a child, an 8 year old child need with a paypal account Sherri?)
What does she tell her customers when they ask why they are sending payment to a Madison and not A Sherri? What excuse does she use?  What lie does she give them?
(Makes ya go ...hum?)
 IT SHOULD!

I was terrified she was going to leave me negative feedback. I told two of my friends and one of them commented on her blog pictures saying "Oh, I see you got a package from Art-e-ology! She always puts those pretty eggs on her packaging!" That was the "Faerie Window" person Sherri refers to in her last threatening letter and another friend wrote her an email saying she could not believe she had stolen from me. Then Sheri removed the photos from her blog. The whole mess just took the wind out of my sails and I took a long break from blogging and selling. I know this is NOTHING compared to what she has done to you and your family, but it really shook my trust and goodwill towards people.

But then in July 08 I found your site (I was googling her trying to find her next blog) and then I knew who I was dealing with in Sherri. And the blog made me realize that it had nothing to do with me. She is just a horrible person and it was nothing personal. She does this to everyone. Even her own family. And for some reason that was comforting to know I wasn't the only one. And I have kept tabs on her ever since. Antique Paperie, SMDesigns, SherriMitchell Designs, Antique Cafe, The Blue Buckle, My Bella Paperie and on and on. I have a special folder in my favorites called, "Sherri Mitchell's Crazy File" LOL!!!! I am a little obsessed, but she is really a soap opera within herself and I can't help myself but check on her and watch the madness.

The comment she makes demanding I remove my blog post refers to this post:


I still blog and I have a lovely group of friends on the internet. You can link to my ETSY store from my blog also.

And, as you can see, I never removed that post. But I was afraid she was going to sue me. I did Google her lawyers and only found the first (Albetazzi) listed as an Oregon lawyer. Interestingly enough the names Albetazzi & Freidman do occur together on Google. They are the co-authors of a book about mental health. I have always thought maybe she was reading from her bookshelf when she wrote that email.
( I like that Albetazzi and Friedman part...fitting actually, is it not?  Mental Health and Sherri's lack thereof?).


Okay...time for ole man Magoo to interject here.  Lets spread some TRUTH here shall we? 
Oh Sherri?  Sherri?  Are you listening?  Watching?

Hum? 


That name sure sounds familiar.  Why thats because...Anthony Albertazzi is OUR lawyer!  Anthony Albertazzi, Angela Lee and Chris Ford.  All three worked for Magoo and family during our Mothers Probate and all three worked on our case.  Anthony argued the case and Angela, why Angela sat right behind me along with the rest of the family.  Lets see...there was the entire family on our side and then there was...Sherri, her lawyer Michael McCord, some other lawyer McCord hired and some female assistant there Sherri hid behind.  Where was Chris her devoted "*ahem* *cough* *cough* hubby?  You know, the one she MUST obey.  Where were her friends?  Where were her family members in support of her?  Simple: There are none. 


(Letterhead from Magoo records). 
Why would she falsely claim The Albertazzi Law Firm as HER lawyer?
Why not just use her own lawyer, Michael McCord?

You can google him, he'll come up.

Maybe...just maybe...because he wasn't to successful? 
My guess? 
HE is fed up with her psycho babble and obvious lies and has had enough of YOU!
Gee seems to be a pattern here with people who associate with TRSM.   

So. Long story short. No, I have never spoken with her. I have seen the blog posts that get removed every time she puts herself in a corner and she has claimed her family is out to get her in the past. And since no one else speaks up it appears to people (readers) who don't know her well that this is only a family matter. I know there are others out there she has swindled and stolen from. Too many to count probably. I am sure she is telling those good Christian ladies that you are all out to get her. I know that is why they keep being her friend. I can't believe they do that, but they do. My son is doing much better and can go back to school tomorrow:)
Love, Jamie

Sherri, I am so very confused. I just refunded you the full amount of your order from my ETSY store because you said it did not arrive. I came to your blog to apologize because you closed your ETSY account and I see the ledger paper and music sheets and scalloped ephemera I mailed to you in your ETSY order on your blog. What is going on? I am very hurt and confused.
Respectfully, Jamie Miller

I have been buying for 3 years - my German, Russian Music Sheets, Vintage Ephemera, from various Websites and Ebay. That photo on my blog is from a Pretty papers, and she uses Bird Eggs, News Prints etc... on all of her packaging. I just recieved it in the mail a few days ago, and It's my favorite. I did NOT recieve anything from you but a box with leopard printed tissue or brown paper (whatever that was). It had a hole in it, plus there were some kind of rotten cardboard pieces that literally made the Post Master and me sick. I am appalled that you think I would put a photo of merchandise on my blog and then ask for a refund. I do not operate that way.

How disappointing this is – Sherri

Luckily for me my husband runs a computer company and was smart enough to screen shot all of your photos before you erased them from your blog. I save all of my scraps from my ledger punch outs so it was as easy as putting a puzzle together. Thank goodness the store owner writes the word potatoes all the time so the handwriting analysis was easy. The ledger paper used in those punches and used to wrap around the ledger paper packet is new and has never been offered in my store by the sheet. I used it to wrap your paper because I thought you would like it.

How disappointing this is -indeed.

Gee I wonder who sent that ratty old disgusting, decaying, cardboard package of goods she claimed was yours Jamie?  So disgusting TRSM and the postman gagged?  I wonder if she found the sender of that box she accused YOU of sending? You think she even tried?  Probably not since that package was merely a figment of her demented imagination.  A pawn in her "Bully you into silence" game.

Hi Sherri,

Thank you for acknowledging the mistake and sending the money. Let's consider the matter closed.

From: skc_mitchell@yahoo.com
To: Jamie 

I hope that you tell your friends that I have re-sent your money and made an honest mistake. Anymore nasty or negative emails I will have to submit to my business Attorney. <---Empty Threat #1 (I challenge you TRSM to produce any of these alledged e-mails!  Hell produce your business Attorney as well, oh thats right its Tony Albertazzi right?  LOL!)  I have one listed as Faerie Window - and I have contact Info. Another, "ThouShall" and we are working to find an IP Address on that one. <---Empty Threat #2 Also 2 others I believe are the same IP, - (Name withheld), (Name withheld), and 2 others (that might be random) we are also working to find out about. It is considered Slander <---(she likes to throw that word out but it is she who usually does the slandering...) - what you are doing - It needs to stop completely. I have forwarded your Blog URL to my Attorney, (Who's Attorney?), as I believe what you have just done to me - by stating what you did on your latest Blog Post - I believe you should be held Liable for that, as anyone emailing you to know more about your post, and you in turn telling them my Name and my Business Name is against Internet Protection Laws standard with a registered Business, such as mine is. I do have rights. <---Empty Threat #3.

SO does Jamie, Jen and the many others you have conned, lied to and stolen from TRSM!  They have rights as well!  They have the right to not be treated in the manner you treat everyone...as prey.  They also have every right to defend themselves against you!  Oh and they have a right to an Attorney.

The matter will be considered closed once I recieve confirmation of your Attorny's name or Email (and why would she send that to you Miss Matriarch of Madness?) and also that Slanderous Blog Post removed.   I hope no other of your friends contact me, they will go straight to the inbox of Albetazzi & Freidman, my attorney's. <---Empty Threat #4
(Again who's Attorney?)

(Hum? I'll say it again.  I'm wondering if Tony's firm is aware that TRSM is using his good name and reputation to attempt to "Bully people into silence" ?).

Thank you, I truly do not believe you feel this was a honest mistake, and I think you made an even bigger mistake by telling others that I am a "thief" and a "liar" - I have 2 emails proving you used those words, along with my name and my business name.

(Where are they Sherri?).

Regards, Sherri

I've called you a thief and a liar for years because you are.

Thanks for stopping by and stay tuned theres SO much more to come.  My apologies for taking so long to get this up but I have been rather busy over the holidays as is everyone right?  :O)  Lets see...we have more victims, a Karaoke presentation from yours truly TRSM and now ladies and gentlemen she has resumed blogging so I'm sure we'll have a lot to talk about and share right here on TRSM.  Oh and something about all these ladies coming forward now to prove TRSM is a liar are all jealous...?  I'll be getting to that one soon as well.  Again thanks for stopping by, I appreciate it.

A lil birdie just told me...





Ladies and gentlemen we interrupt your regularly scheduled programming to bring you breaking news on the Twitter front!

Why in my daily detective travels I happened to click on TRSM's Twitter account and low and behold look what I was graced with...



"When you know better, just dont do as TRSM does"
"Next"!

Jamie's story part 2!

Here lil doggie!


Howdy-do ole man Magoo here bringing you the second installment of Jamie's story.
 This episode will show just exactly how TRSM lures in her victims. 
How she showers you with  promises and praise and once she has what she wants discards you like a dog bone, attempting to steal your trust of people and desire to create and share again. 
It is her "pattern" or "modus operandi"! 
(Etsy has since banned Sherri...not once but twice!).

Well lets just get on with it shall we?

The proof is in the pudding or screenshots shall we say?

The intial contact conversation.

Fan appreciation day Victim # 2!

Howdy-do ole man Magoo here bringing you the true story of another victim of TRSM's Scams and Jeckyl and Hyde personality. 

This is Jamie's story. 
Jamie was lured in with TRSM's usual tactic of e-mailing her prey with praise and the offer to showcase their work on her *well now defunct, no longer up*, "for now", blogsite.  (Photos to follow soon).  I wont waste a lot of time prefacing this one.  I'll just bring you the truth from the source herself.  Jamie's story in her own words, her own handwriting.





(From TRSM's blog a few weeks ago).

I give you Jamie's story:

Never be bullied into silence. Never allow yourself to be made a victim. Accept no one's definition of your life; define yourself.

~Harvey Fierstein

Ok. I won't. Thanks for the sage advice. How DARE you post such a quote after all you have done to hurt and victimize good honest people. But, thanks for the straw that broke the camel’s back.


My story is a simple one. I have a shop on ETSY. Sherri Mitchell contacted me and lavished me with praises and complements about my ledger paper and ephemera. She said that I was her new favorite store. She said that she wanted to showcase my shop on her blog. Sherri Mitchell purchased items from my store. I mailed them to her. A week later she sent a PayPal dispute saying that she never received her items. She did not try to contact me in any way before filing the dispute. At that time I had over 700 sales in my store and had never had lost a package. I felt terrible and immediately refunded the money to her PayPal account. Then I went straight to ETSY to apologize to her, but her account had disappeared. So I went to her blog to apologize to her and there on her blog were photos of the EXACT items she had purchased from my ETSY shop.

I then emailed her this email:


Sherri,
I am so very confused. I just refunded you the full amount of your order from my ETSY store because you said it did not arrive. I came to your blog to apologize because you closed your ETSY account and I see the ledger paper and music sheets and scalloped ephemera I mailed to you in your ETSY order on your blog. What is going on? I am very hurt and confused.
Respectfully, Jamie Miller


This was her response:


I have been buying for 3 years - my German, Russian Music Sheets, Vintage Ephemera, from various Websites and Ebay. That photo on my blog is from a Pretty papers, and she uses Bird Eggs, News Prints etc... on all of her packaging. I just recieved it in the mail a few days ago, and It's my favorite. I did NOT recieve anything from you but a box with leopard printed tissue or brown paper (whatever that was). It had a hole in it, plus there were some kind of rotten cardboard pieces that literally made the PostMaster and me sick. I am appalled that you think I would put a photo of merchandise on my blog and then ask for a refund. I do not operate that way.
How disappointing this is - Sherri


I had never had dealings with someone so hateful. I quickly let her know that I had screen shots of the blog photos and that I could prove the items to be from my order. The next day she returned the money to PayPal and claimed that her daughter had opened the box and that it had all been a terrible mistake. I emailed back and said “thank you for acknowledging the mistake and sending the money. Let's consider the matter closed.” I thought that by being polite and not engaging her, that the matter would be closed. The next email was to threaten me with her lawyers Albetazzi & Freidman because two of my good friends had tried to stand up for me and had emailed her and commented on her blog before she removed the incriminating photos. She threw in official sounding phrases like “Internet Protection Laws standard with a registered Business” and then she informed me of this:


“I have forwarded your Blog URL to my Attorney as I believe what you have just done to me - by stating what you did on your latest Blog Post - I believe you should be held Liable for that, as anyone emailing you to know more about your post, and you in turn telling them my Name and my Business Name is against Internet Protection Laws standard with a registered Business, such as mine is. I do have rights. The matter will be considered closed once I receive confirmation of your Attorney’s name or Email and also that Slanderous Blog Post removed.”


This is what my “slanderous” blog post stated:


“The silly when deceived exclaim loudly; the fool complains; the honest man walks away and is silent."


[Fr., Le bruit est pour le fat, la plainte pour le sot; L'honnete homme trompe s'eloigne et ne dit mot.] Author: Francois de la Noue ("Bras de Fer")Source: La Coquette Corrigee (I, 3)


And no, I did not remove it.

Magoo here to interject with his wily wisdom and wit  :O) 

1st: this is the link to Jamie's "slanderous" post:


2nd:  Hum? 
Albertazzi and Friedman?
Now WHY does that name sound so familiar? 
Could it be, hum? Could it be, thats MY attorney?!
 Yep ladies and gentlemen this is the law firm the family used to combat TRSM's psychotic criminal behavior during my mothers illness and probate of the estate.
 I guess TRSM didn't think to highly of her Attorney Mr. Michael McCord to use him to threaten anyone with. 
Maybe because...he didn't do to well when he had his time in court with us.  He hired another attorney to review the case a few days before court.  This attorney mirrored the "stuttering attorney" in the movie *My Cousin Vinny*.  For one it took most of an hour for him to say that the e-mails TRSM requested, (and payed a hefty price for I might add), showed there was definately hostile feelings between the two parties.  Well.....DUH! 
And 2nd he stated that the sale of the house in California should go on as per the will stated.
  My mother didn't own a house in California Homer. 
Her house was in La Pine, OREGON down the street a ways from you! 
The very same house THEIR CLIENT dwelled in.
Brilliant Mr. Holmes.
Yep she payed premium dollars for that great advice.  :O)

I'm sure Mr. Albertazzi thanks you for the advertisement however...LOL!  NOT!! 
Oh and YES...ole man Magoo will be posting scans of proof that Albertazzi represented our mothers estate and not TRSM. 
Scans of documents and his business card should do it.

In fact I'm sure Mr. Albertazzi will not be so happy to learn you have been using his firms name to "Bully people into silence"!!!!
(I'll forward those e-mails directly to him) 

See he knows you TRSM! 
Remember he deposed YOU! 
Remember you LIED throughout the entire deposition! 
He would never represent a pathetic piece of trash as you. 
Someone so low as to steal from a cancer patient, YOUR GRANDMOTHER, on their deathbed!

Carry on Jamie, I'm sorry....

But I am tired of being silent. (GOOD FOR YOU!). After she treated me so horribly, I stopped blogging and selling for a long time. My heart was not in it anymore. She ruined it for me because all I could think about was her and how completely hateful she had been to me. And yet she still had a blog and she was still out there treating others just as callously. I silently watched as she changed her blog names and business names over and over again. I silently watched as she would disappear and reappear over and over again. I would just add the new links to my sidebar. There were so many that I had to make a dedicated file for them. And then, many months later I found “TheReal SherriMitchell” <---thats me :O)  Teeheehee!  and I knew who I was dealing with in Sherri. And the blog made me realize that it had nothing to do with me. She is just a horrible person and it was nothing personal. She does this to everyone. Even to her own family. And for some reason that was comforting to know I wasn't the only one. And I have kept tabs on her ever since. I have seen the blog posts that get removed every time she puts herself in a corner and she always claims it’s her family. They are always out to get her. And since no one else speaks up it appears to people (new readers to her blog) who don't know her well that this is only a family matter.  I know there are others out there she has swindled and stolen from. Too many to count probably. We have to stand up and share our misfortune in having dealt with Sherri. It is the only way to stop her from taking from others. I’m not just speaking of the money. While that is her motivator, it is not the only theft she commits. She steals your goodwill. She steals your ability to trust. She steals your creativity. She steals the things you pour your heart and soul into. She won’t steal those things from me anymore. Because I will Never be bullied into silence. Because I will Never allow Myself to be made a victim. Thank you Harvey Fierstein. And thank you to the family members who have fought for so long to get the truth out. And thank you to the brave artists who have stood up for themselves and have been given a voice.

Your welcome Jamie  :O)

And THANK YOU for not allowing TRSM to bully you anymore! 
For not allowing her to silence you.
 For not allowing her to steal your desire to create and share. 
You can now join the ranks of Jen and others,
(YES there are OTHERS TRSM, and they will be speaking loud and clear on ole Magoo real soon...lol),  who have spoken up and shared their experience with us. 

The 2nd half of this story is coming soon. 
I'll be sharing a series of e-mail exchanges between Jamie and the evil one along with more photographic proof that TRSM is a Con, thief and a liar!
I'll even show you just how great a mother she truly is...hum? 
Wonder what that could be? 
Oh and stay tuned: VIDEO Kareoke! Yes I said Video!  :O)

Jen's story part 3---> Authenticity...

Howdy-do ole man Magoo here bringing you the 3rd installment of:

Fan Appreciation Day!

We'll keep this one short and sweet. 

We present you photographic evidence of therealsherrimitchell's unethical business practices.
 In other words her Unautheticity, her copycat practices. 
(Oh there are more, a LOT more but Magoo thinks he will save those for a later date).
:O)


Jen's original graphic.




Therealsherrimitchell's "original" graphic a few days later.

Interesting coincidence?

Thank you Jen! 
Thanks again for having the courage to speak up, to be a voice for all those who have suffered from TRSM's behaviors and practices, who were made to believe they were the guilty ones and TRSM is the victim.
To NOT BE BULLIED INTO SILENCE and TO BE YOUR OWN PERSON.

A friend of mine sent me a copy of this.  I thought it appropriate to include it here: 

Advocate Good Business Ethics


04/ 20/ 2005

by Tamara E. Holmes

As a small-business owner, you will run into companies whose practices you respect and those companies whose practices you do not. But do their practices affect your company? If those practices are unethical, the answer may be yes.

Ethics refers to a system of principles that govern right or moral behavior. Since one's values determine what one considers to be right or moral behavior, you, as a business owner, have the responsibility of coming up with a code of ethics that reflects the values of your company.

So what happens when a company wants to do business with you and they don't have the same ethical standards? Unfortunately, if your company does engage in business practices with them and they are unethical, the public might perceive your company to be guilty by association.

For example, if a company has a reputation for treating customers unfairly and your company takes part in a campaign with them, you may be subject to their image. The public might assume that your company will treat customers unfairly too, whether that is an accurate perception or not.

Another thing you should consider is whether you might one day be on the receiving end of unethical treatment. Say you discover that a company you have a partnership with reneged on a commitment or contract with another small business. Upon first glance, you might think that this has nothing to do with you. However, if a business doesn't honor its word with one colleague, why would you believe that it wouldn't turn around and do that to you at a later time?

A small business' ethics reflect the character of the owner. By witnessing a breach in ethics, even if it does not directly involve you, you're getting a glimpse into that owner's character, which should influence whether you want to do business with that person in the first place.

Unethical businesses in your profession – even if they are competitors – may pose a threat to your industry as a whole.

If your field of business has a trade association, you might want to bring up ethics and suggest that the industry come up with a code of ethics since your individual business could suffer if your potential clients and customers view your industry unfavorably. By placing an emphasis on ethics with your peers and coming up with industry-wide standards, you also might discourage other business owners from engaging in unethical practices.

While it's never easy to deal with matters of ethics, it's probably most difficult to confront this issue when your business is the one that has been violated.

Clearly, you won't want to do business with that company again, but there may be more that you can do. Check with any trade associations for that industry to see if perhaps the company violated an industry code of ethics. If so, report the company to its trade association, particularly if that industry's members are given professional licenses to perform their duties. Another thing you might do is report the business to the Better Business Bureau. The BBB is not only designed to protect consumers, but it works to protect the business community as well.

If you were on the receiving end of unethical behavior, don’t hesitate to report it. Even if you never receive a cent of financial remuneration for the breach, you might stop another business from falling prey to the same practice.


You just may stop TRSM from preying on you and yours!

Jen's story Part 2

Howdy do ole man Magoo here bringing you the 2nd installment of:
Fan Appreciation Day!

“Some people think that if they change the names of things, the things themselves will have changed, too”
David McKay.


This is Jen's story, sadly one of many who are stepping up to fight back once and for all.  Who are determined to rid this online artworld of the unethical pratices being perpetrated against the honest and innocent artists.  You see therealsherrimitchell is not the only player.  Those that align themselves with and or look the other way, those that do business with either knowingly or unknowingly play a part some way in the crime, the wrong. They carry the shame that goes right along with their participation.   


E-Mail #1
I had posted a photo of a tag gifted to me by a friend/fellow artist - someone who had been scammed, copied and harassed by Sherri. My post read I was thrilled to have an original tag.


Sherri is referring to a blog group that I am not even a part of but apparently she had been declined admittance into the group because of her sticky fingers and unethical practices. The group does not have the same name...the woman who started the group is a true Christian {in action & words}


Sherri has stated on more than one occasion that she is "the best" but of course on her blog she plays it very humble, telling visitors she isn't very good. Sherri claims people copy her, not the other way around. Yet time and again, Sherri's releases come days after another artist releases an item or changes their blog/store.


Sherri claims she did nothing but support and encourage me and say honest things to me. What about the people you told to stay away from my blog and not link to me Sherri? What about the people you told I had an ugly store and items? What about telling me you left Etsy Sherri? You mentioned the 600 sales you had in your 1st month of selling but you failed to mention being banned from Etsy. {And yes, we all know you got back on - got banned a 2nd time and have been creeping around on there on & off since} (You silly girl you Jen...:O) You failed to mention she has "others" selling her copycats for her in their etsy establishments/accounts).  

At any time you could have been honest with me Sherri, but not once did you speak the truth.




Of course, I have also gotten the "I'm sorry, I was misinformed" - "I am a Christian woman" e-mails but those e-mails mean absolutely nothing as Sherri continues as my shadow...a very unwanted, creepy, ominous shadow.

So, like pretty much everyone else burned by Sherri Mitchell I received the nasty, threatening e-mails followed by the I am a Christian woman and made a mistake or am asking for forgiveness e-mails. This seems to be her pattern. Sadly, the women I know who accepted her apology and gave forgiveness ended up burned by her again.

Jen

Thank you Jen...

Most people just are not "prepped" to deal with a sociopath.

They, the Sociopath  make THEIR lunacy seem normal, and imply OUR sanity is in question.
People close to them often capitulate to their demands...just to get away from them!

Boy these sure do represent what I've gotten and posted in the past two years dont they?
(There were more but we decided these particular ones will speak clearly).
Actually just as recently as last month with her disgusting lines about her own Autistic Uncle.
What I've been telling you and showing you is that she is the kind that while shaking your hand with a smile.
In the back of her mind she is viewing you as prey.

This Jeckyl and Hyde lives among you, soils the venue in which you reside, what are you going to do about it?

From An Angel of Truth...




Howdy do ole man Magoo here bringing you one of my most serious
posts ever.  I truly hope you read and read well what is written over the next few days or so.  I'll be bringing it to you as a 3 part story.
1. The experience.
2. The proof behind the pudding.
 3. The true colors of therealsherrimichell her so called Christian persona, a relationship with God of convenience meaning she's religious as long as it benefits her or she can make a profit, an unfortunate experience that I'm sure mirrors MANY of therealsherrimitchells victims out there yet to be told. 

(BTW a few more have now stepped forward so stay tuned folks these birdies are ready to sing). 

Do you remember when therealsherrimitchell use to say how working late at night she would feel her grandmothers presence?  How her grandmother use to sit atop her shoulder late at night whispering, "I love you Sherri".  Guiding her to Delusions of Grandeur greatness?  Well ole man Magoo just happened to be working late at night and ladies and gentlemen I give you the voice, the voice of truth, the voice that came to me late one evening.  I like to think she sits atop my shoulder and speaks from experience.  She came to speak her mind.  Came to speak the truth.  Came with the courage to stand up, fight back and in so doing just may save "one of you" from falling victim to another one of therealsherrimitchell's scams. 

Like an Angel of truth!

Listen to her story. 
I applaud her, applaud her courage to speak the truth, applaud her courage to warn others.  Applaud her courage to risk, backlash,  and non-believers. 
Well I believe her because I know for certain its the truth. 
I ask you to join me in support of her.

I give you the first episode of:
Fan Appreciation Day!

I give you Jen's story.

Activism and Closure



My name is Jen and I wanted to share my experiences with Sherri Mitchell of LaPine, OR, currently selling under the name of Punk Rose Paper at the time of this posting.

Most of you will know me as Artful Dreamer as I have been selling my art under that name for approx. 5 years now. For those unfamiliar with my background, I am a non-practicing physician and published author lucky enough to have been given the opportunity to share my art with others. I sold on EBay for several years {with 100% + feedback} and have briefly sold on Etsy {also with 100% + feedback} during transition periods for my online store ArtfulDreamer.com


Although I have remained silent about my experiences with Sherri up to this point the time has come for my voice to be heard.


Sherri befriended me through Ebay, contacting me with compliments galore for my work. Although my inner voice immediately whispered to be careful, I accepted Sherri as being genuine and sincere in her words. I was at the point of wanting to leave EBay to open my own shop and after chatting with others including Sherri, I took the plunge and opened artfuldreamer.com. When I was ready to open for business, Sherri offered to promote some of my items on her store vintagepaperie.com I was grateful for such a generous offer and made 2 custom pieces just for Sherri, a coined expression and a dress form tag. Sherri posted the 2 items promoting them as mine for all of 24 hours before her store suddenly disappeared.


I attempted to contact Sherri to see if everything was okay but she seemed to have disappeared as well. As I sat scratching my head wondering what happened, a message from a new friend came with the warning – be careful with Sherri Mitchell, she is not all she seems. I spoke with my friend further and was shocked to learn that Sherri had been in trouble for scamming people out of their money and for copying other artists. I contacted someone my friend had said knew 1st hand what Sherri was all about and I was appalled to hear what had happened to her.


I felt like the biggest idiot in the world. I had been duped/conned/used and lead astray. I couldn’t believe that I had actually called Sherri a kindred spirit - I thought we both held the same values – I couldn’t have been more wrong!


A few days later Sherri contacted me with a vague story about family issues forcing her to close her store. I told her I was glad she was okay and I wished her the best with her store.


I never told Sherri what I had learned…I never asked Sherri to return the items I had made for her with the understanding they would be promoted…I never spoke with Sherri again until I was forced to {mentioned later in this post}…I walked away…she did not.


Once Sherri put the puzzle together as far as me knowing the truth about her, she turned her anger on me. She contacted other artists telling them that I was spreading lies about her and telling them to stay away from me. She called my store and products ugly. She claimed that I was stealing her designs. She told people that we were enemies. All along…I did nothing. I said nothing. Good-hearted people who knew me to be an honest and caring person, told me what she was saying – what she was doing. I explained that I barely knew the woman, told them what had happened and left it at that. During all this, Sherri is using my ideas and designs for inspiration. I see. Others see it and notify me. I remain silent. I do not contact Sherri. I do not start a slander campaign as she did. My hope – she will grow tired and move on. One month Sherri had >3,000 hits to my store in a 30 day period and twice she had products almost identical to mine. I blocked her from viewing my store. This enraged her and unfortunately many undeserving people felt the backlash. I removed the block, hoping that Sherri had gotten the message. She hadn’t.


During this time I came to know the true personality of Sherri Mitchell. She had a true Dr. Jekyll/ Mr. Hyde personality. One minute she is saying the most horrible things about you, the next she is begging you for forgiveness. She tells someone that my store is ugly and that I {and everyone else} am jealous of her because she is the only true talent among us, yet she then comes to me asking if she can buy some of my beautiful items. I must admit, that e-mail was worthy of a reply. My response to Sherri; No, you may not purchase my items.


When I took my break from art due to health issues, I felt so liberated. I didn’t care or worry about Sherri Mitchell. Not long after I returned to selling art, the name Sherri Mitchell began popping up again.


I barely knew her…..I avoided her and ignored her….I left selling my art for nearly 6 months…and yet she was there waiting for me on my return. What sort of person becomes so obsessed? What sort of person uses religion and sympathy to gain her lucrative relationships? What sort of person mimics another artist and then claims the work as her own? What sort of person lies and steals and then when caught lays the blame at the feet of her victims?


It seems rather obvious the type of person Sherri Mitchell is. She cares nothing about how she hurts and uses other people. She only cares for herself. She feels she has been dealt an unfair hand and everyone around her somehow owes her retribution for that. The fact that those of us burned have done nothing but open our hearts to her and remain silent because we aren’t vindictive women like Sherri counts for absolutely nothing. Why?


I’d love for just one of Sherri’s supporters to tell me why she has more worth than me. Why I am supposed to sit back and watch my hard work get cloned and bastardized by a woman who only knows how to copy what she sees?


Why am I a worthless person in your eyes? Is it really the money? Is it really that simple and ugly?


I’d sit here with bated breath, but really, the answer isn’t important. There is absolutely no justification for supporting Sherri Mitchell once you have heard story after story or have read this blog. Whatever flimsy reason you have concocted to make yourself feel better about what you are doing hopefully brings you peace on judgment day because I doubt it will gain you much else.


Thank you for taking the time to read my story. Jen {Artful Dreamer}

Absolutely brilliantly written and told Jen, thank you for sharing that.  I am truly sorry for your inconvience and suffering.  You are, sadly, one of many stories out there, and right here, in ole Magoo's briefcase of goodies...I can add to that but only a few things for I believe it truly speaks volumes and speaks for itself.
Some truths from ole Magoo to you all  :O)

I barely knew her…..I avoided her and ignored her….I left selling my art for nearly 6 months…and yet she was there waiting for me on my return.

 It seems rather obvious the type of person Sherri Mitchell is. She cares nothing about how she hurts and uses other people.

She takes delight in seeing other people suffer at her hand.  Sadistic in her games of manipulation. 
No truer words have been spoken.

She only cares for herself.

Most Sociopaths do.

She feels she has been dealt an unfair hand and everyone around her somehow owes her retribution for that.

Okay I'm gonna spend a lil time here because as a relative who knows her all to well and one who has had the unfortunate experience of dealing with her insanity for 35 plus years now I'm going to try to shed some light on this "unfair hand" crapola.  therealsherrimitchell was never poor, (as a child growing up). Therealsherrimitchell actually was rather SPOILED living in a million dollar reconditioned inside and out grand ole Victorian.  An x-mas tree in every room of the house.  Servant.  Had anything and everything a lil girl desires, too much so imo.  Unfair hand?  This is what she uses folks to paint one picture when its not entirely so and she uses it against you, plays on your sympathies, tugs at your heart...JUST LIKE she uses her own daughter in her games by creating a Paypal Account in her daughter Madison's name instead of using her own...what answer does she give you when your sending in your payments to a child?   No therealsherrimitchell didn't live a bad life, was never raped or abused as she is SO fond of using against you.  Wasn't hated and picked on by family members then and now.  Fact is she abused us all her life, emotionally, and financially resulting in her being removed from our lives.  Why?  Because we know, she will never change.  My point?  TRSM is a liar.  TRSM is a victim only to her greed and delusional mind. 

Hum? Looks at ----> TRSM
Moniker or Scarlet letter, you decide.


Her unfair hand? 
Of her own design, her own creation.  She lied her entire life, does to this day.  She stole her entire life, (from every family member who ever opened their doors to help her), does to this day.  She was a manipulator as an INFANT, is to this day.  She scams not only innocent people of your treasured circle ladies and gentlemen, she scams anyone and everyone.  She is ladies and gentlemen...evil. (IMO)

The fact that those of us burned have done nothing but open our hearts to her and remain silent because we aren’t vindictive women like Sherri counts for absolutely nothing. Why?

Your no different to her than the vast trail of victims left behind her.  You are to her Jen...prey.

I’d love for just one of Sherri’s supporters to tell me why she has more worth than me.

Me to Jen.  What line of crap does a lifetime con, liar and thief , (lets not forget copycat), use to keep you all believing her over obvious documented proof to the contrary?

Why I am supposed to sit back and watch my hard work get cloned and bastardized by a woman who only knows how to copy what she sees?

Seems to me Jen some 
  PEOPLE in this community should re-evaluate their relationships.  Step back and take a look at the bigger picture here.  Is a dollar saved worth everything and all the time spent building a reputation thats valued and admired?  You may save a dollar today but is the value of your reputation, the blood, sweat and tears of your work, the future of your dream worth it? 

That, people of this business/community, you will have to answer for yourselves.

Ladies and gentlemen you no longer have to stand passively by wishing her to just go away as she has done with her desperately needed hysterectomy.  She did wish that away now didn't she?  Cured cancer through antibiotics to.  She hasn't a pot to piss in, nor a leg to stand on and her threats are as empty as her soul.
You can however, businessmen and women stand united, make a statement, make a difference.
