A little beef...

I have not wanted to post this because I want my blog to be uplifting and positive, but I just can't keep silent any longer. Please, please, please don't copy anyone's photos, artwork, or text without asking them first. I cannot tell you how many times I have visited someone's blog or website and found my photos and/or text that has been copied word for word, typos and all, with no mention as to where they got them. I am so flattered that people actually like my work and want to share it with others. However, I work very hard to create and photograph my projects, and write my copy. As you can tell I am a horrible copywriter so I wonder why anyone would even want to lift my copy. LOL!

I am more than willing to share my ideas

  2. Lisa,

    I'm so sorry! I've read both of your posts on this subject. I am guilty as charged. Please forgive me as I'm new to blogging and still learning the etiquette. I ruthlessly copied your Tickled Pink birthday card (I did give you credit with a link to your site) but I did not ask your permission. I promise I will ask in the future.

    (ashamed)
