Just going to Vent for a Minute....

This was my response to a comment in the comment section of one of my posts....
I will leave that persons name off since my goal is not to single out that person.... here is my response to that person being unhappy that some of today's freebies went POOF~!

_______.....I appreciate all my readers very much, and yes, I know that they come from all over the world....with that said...there are over 2,000 freebies on this site....I would guess more than any other site.....and they have been left up for years.
But, I get in a funk every now and then, and let the people that SNAG and run get to me....Both the freebies from today that have gone POOF~! had over 200 downloads before I took them down....and guess how many people said thank you? ONE~! Some days it just gets to me.

    You have every right to be annoyed! Your work is very nice, and you are very considerate to put up so many free images. I'm sorry that some thoughtless people forget that.

    I did say I was disappointed that I missed an image but I wasnt mad or anything I hope I didnt hurt your feelings. I adore your images and I can pretty much find any image or sentiment to fit any card I want to make. If I missed one then phooey on me. So if I ever miss saying thanks then know that I am grateful for all your generosity.

    i understand completely I used to free .gsd files and stopped doing it because I NEVER had even one thank you despite all files being snagged, it is very disheartening.. i dont get all your freebies but admit I don't always say thank you for the one's I do as I'm always in a hurry to get offline...so THANK YOU for all your wonderful generous gifts, they are truly appreciated :0)

    I totally understand. I try to leave a thank you on most of what I download, and hopefully manage at least a 90%. I have a started a freebie sentiment on my blog once a week, and "get" it. Out of over 600 downloads last week, I ended up with less than 10% saying thank you. 90% sure would be nice. :)

    I'm glad you got in that funk and took the time to remind us all that you are giving to us so the least we can do is say THANK YOU. And to say THANK YOU to other's that give of there talent so freely. So thanks for the reminder. It's sort of like seeing someone on the street they are looking straight in your face and don't say a word..how hard is it to say Good morning, Good evening or give them a nod something. Just that online we can't give you that nod, so's here's one to ya.

    I always feel so sad when I download an image and see how many have taken it and how few have thanked you. I'm surprised that you don't get fed up with us more often.

    I have to say that I actually thought it was quite humorous when I came to an image and it said, "Poof, it's gone!". Just figured my timing was off. :)

    You're a treasure, Paulette and I hope that people will start to cherish you like they should. Thanks for being the wonderful person that you are.

    So sorry to hear not everyone is commenting. I'm not taking all your freebies, but when I do I always comment. Sometimes it's hard to come up with a nice comment, especially when english is not your motherlanguage, but I guess you forgive me the spelling mistakes.
    Hope more people start to comment, because your generosity is heartwarming.

    But I am not of those people Paulette ;) I thank you every time when I dowload a freebie of yours. Because you are so kind, giving and amazing - there isn't enought words to describe you.

    I am sorry, that many people don't thank you. I understand that it gets to you, you have every right to be angry!

    I apologize that my comment hurted your feelings. I thank you for the freebies, but some of them I never have a chance to get, because they are poof by the time I wake up. But never mind, that's nothing compared to what some people do to you. I didn't know so many people don't thank you :(

    I think you have every right to be upset and I guess you can include me in the group you would be upset with. I'm one of those quiet ones. It is not intentional. I have left a comment or two but find I always run into a snag in the process of leaving a comment. I have to sign in and then sign in again so that I'm not sure if I'm doing this right. But I said all that to say THANK YOU for all your hard work and your generous heart for offering such beautiful freebies! I love them!

    I don't always say thanks; it's not that I'm not thankful, but a lot of times I go straight to the download from Google Reader... Sometimes I leave my comments on the 4shared site instead of here. And some days when I have a lot of time, I go back and leave comments on things that I already downloaded. All that to say, THANK YOU PAULETTE!! You are very kind to keep giving us freebies even though we don't always behave... :D

    I don't think I have ever downloaded one of your free images but I have been lucky enough to find several free images recently but I don't think I have said Thank You to those people. I can't believe I was so insensitive! I'm not that rude in person so why would I be over the 'net? I am very sorry that I have not been saying Thank you like I should and I appreciate you pointing out the error in my way. Even thought I have not received any of your freebies, my very sincerest thank you for sharing your talent with all of us. And thank you to everyone I have gotten freebies from recently - you will all be receiving personal thank you's from now on!

  38. Georgiegirl2012February 22, 2011 at 3:41 PM

    It's confession time - I don't always say thank you. I try to, and I whilst I am not a talented artist who generously donates much of her artwork (as you and so many others do) I can still appreciate your frustration at not being thanked for what you do. I have just gone through some of your images, and I think the only one I've downloaded is the owl from a day or two ago. It would be so easy to download all the marvellous images, but I am trying to only download things I think I will use. And when I use them I link back to the original artist and credit them with the work, and at that point comment on their blog. I will try and do better on thanking at the first stage. I hope you feel better for your vent - sometimes it is necessary and I am sure all your fans/followers/freeloaders understand the reason why. xx

    Sorry that this has happened to you. You have every right to be upset. Let me explain why I don't alway leave comments. It become very annoying to go to each site and to have to sign in each time I want to leave a comment or I have to do the security thing, which I have poor eye site and have a difficult time with. But recently someone told me about google chrome and I no longer have to sign in at each site, it keeps me signed in. This has made it much easier to leave comments. I will be sure to "always" leave a thank you from now on. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you for all that you do. May God continue to bless you with you talent.

    As another freebie designer, I want to thank you for posting this. I have a tracker on my site as well, and can see when I've had hundreds - if not thousands - pageviews/downloads, but only wind up with a dozen or so thank yous. Creating the items that we do takes time and effort (and resources!), and we're putting that time and effort into something we're GIVING away - we get nothing our of that except the appreciation those who download offer.

I like to say now thank you for sharing because without people that is so kind to share their work for free I wouldn't have much to craft with. So if I ever forget again I am always greatful to people like you for share their hard work with people like me that don't have a lot of money to spare all the time.

    I am VERY thankful for the freebies you give. I'm sure that many of those who have never said thanks ARE thankful too. Please forgive us...some of the sites want most of your life history even to post a thank you that sometimes I don't bother because I really don't want to give out my personal information just to say thank you.

    Thank you again and Bless You for what you do - you ARE appreciated VERY MUCH. :)

    I'm really glad you expressed this! I have taken freebies and not taken the time to say thank-you. Not only will I do better on your site, but on others as well.

    Thanks for opening my eyes and for sharing your wonderful talent.

    Thank you and please forgive. So much time it takes to create your work, and I as one promise to take time to thank you when I snag one of your sentiments. Your creativity and your willingness to share them with us is appreciated.

    SO sorry that you are obviously under-appreciated! I promise you that any images I download I always say "thank you" for. I do not understand why so many people cannot be bothered?? They can see it is upsetting the designers and that more and more are stopping freebies altogether or making it harder and harder to get hold of them. You seem to have tonnes of new stuff every time I vist - you must be one of the most prolific designers! and even if I do not download, I enjoy coming and seeing what you've done. Thank you for your lovely site and your generosity. I hope this rant will encourage at least some people to remember a Thank You in future!

    you are so very generous with your creativity and freebies. i, for one, do not say thank you often enough, but i DO thank YOU, from the bottom of my heart for EVERYTHING that you do. you have earned your cloud in heaven. you cannot please everyone and, unfortunately, it seems lately that there are just some people out there that like to stick a thorn in our sides! well BUGGER - or should i say BOOGER to them!!!!!

    hugs and a HUGE THANK YOU!

    You mean to say that people were leaving negative comments about your freebie?? They should have listened to their moms "If you can't say anything nice, then don't say anything at all!" That's just rude. I leave a comment for every image I download, and sometimes I even leave comments for ones I mean to download, but don't get to. Thank you for your continued hard work and enthusiasm.

    I must apologize to you...Sometimes I will download while at work and I go through things very quickly. Your digis and sentiments are very much appreciated, but it is so awful to snag and run. So on that note thank you for all of the freebies I have downloaded with out leaving a comment. I will try to make a point to be better at commenting!

    Hm-m-m, inconsiderate people out there! Everybody just take a moment to see what is happening to our country because of corporate greed. It's turning us into a 3rd world country. If you don't like what they're doing to you, then stop for a moment to say "Thanks" when you need to. Greed affects us all.

    I am sorry that I have not said thank you often. I do love your freebies, but sometimes I am unable to post a comment on some sites and it becomes frustrating so I failed to keep trying. Thanks again. I understand your feelings and will try to do better.

    I think your site is one of the best anywhere. I don't always take the time to thank you and for that I apologize. I particularly love the variety of digis that you provide us.

    For all of those who have NOT left a comment, I apologize. I've not done it on your site but I will admit that I've snagged and run on other sites. You are right to feel a bit unappreciated. For all of us who have been rude or just thoughtless - my sincerest apologies. Those of you who supply freebies to those of us with limited funds are a real blessing. May God proivde you with an EXTRA measure of grace today.

    HOORAY FOR YOU!! I don't blame you for venting and letting readers know how you feel. These are YOUR creations and you have every right to pull them at your discretion! We are not paying and the least we can do is show a bit of appreciation for your generosity! I love doing for others but after a while when they don't appreciate it or recognize it, I start feeling used!
    We love your postings and respect that this is your blog and we are visitors! Thanks for all you do!

    I am so sorry that someone had to ruin your day like that. The fact that you are willing to give away the wonderful freebies that you do is a testament of how giving you are. Please know that I do appreciate every image that you so kindly share with us and I really hope that you will not let the thoughtless words of another ruin your day/weekend. Hopefully you will see by the amount of people that have posted to this just how much we all appreciate you. I make sure that I leave a thank you with every image, but it never hurts to be reminded to do so. So thank you so very much for sharing your incredible talent with the rest of us.

    I am sorry to say that I am one of those hit and run people. I love your designs that is why I come back to you. I THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart and I am sorry that I have been so thoughtless. Your designs are awesome and I would be sorry to see you stop designing because I was amoung so many who are thoughtless. Again I am sorry. Thank you for the designs that you freely share with me.

  106. Regina130February 28, 2011 at 9:48 AM

    I am sorry to say I am one of those people who enjoy your designs, but don't take the time to say thanks. I am so sorry. I know that you work hard and I sure do enjoy your designs. You are an awesome designer and I sure would be sad if you quit. Don't be discouraged, I didn't mean to be so thoughtless. You are right to feel the way you do about people grabbing and not appericating your hard work. I will stop to thank you when I grab your designs. Thank you for your hard work and effort that you put into these designs.
