ADVISORY......

Freebies are powered by the amount of "thank yous" per snags ratio  ...and comments.
So as of today the freebies will stay up on the blog for 5 days instead of 7.
I don't put a ton of ads on this site.......but I do enjoy the extra cash from the income of the blog.  So I really don't need the freebies to be every day or up for a long period.  You have the power on that one.
All I'm going to say.

    Paulette - I know it must be discouraging when you share all your time and talent and get little response! I, personally, have donated to you and try to leave a comment if I download a freebie. But, sometimes I get in a hurry and forget - thanks for reminding me to be more appreciative!

    I am also guilty of often being in a big hurry and not taking that extra moment to thank you for your time and awesome freebies. As Kraftychick said, thank you for the reminder to be more appreciative. I forget you cannot read my mind as I'm saying, Oh, that's cool, and clicking to download. You're awesome. Thank you.

    So sorry that I am not expressing my appreciation more often. I am one of the guilty ones - I know I don't say thank you for each one. I will try to do better! I definitely do appreciate the freebies you provide!

    Don't blame you in the slightest, I would feel a bit miffed if too if my work was taken for granted.

    Thanks Paulette, for all of your wonderful freebie word art, and the work you do to bring us all antique and vintage images. We all must remember that you find the time to create these and are so very generoous to share so many of them free of charge. Thanks again Megan in Australia

    sorry Paulette - recently I've been snagging without thanking. In my mind, I had an excuse, but in the cold light of day, I realize it was wrong. I will do better!

    We're probably all a bit guilty of not saying "thank you" enough to a number of designers/artists. I agree with "ArtInMyHeartToo" ... I'm sure you can't hear me say "Wow! Just what I needed." I need to remember to say it in print more often. And, BTW, many other "freebies" are only up for 24 hours, so you are being MORE than generous to us. Thank you!!

    I comment on the ones I get. Some I have even comment twice on. I do appreciate your free sentiments and especially the images and papers.
    I understand how you feel about the comments. Yet I understand sometimes life is so crazy for people that they forget to comment. I don't think it is because they just don't care. It is because they are over burdened. Yet Appreciation only takes a Thank You. Edwina Brown

    Totally understand. I use to give freebie svgs. I enjoyed making and sharing. But it is a little sad to see on a given day that my freebie was downloaded almost 300 times and yet I may be lucky to have 4-5 thank you comments. You do a wonderful job!

    I guess I never realized that the comments were so important to the bloggers. I figured the bloggers could tell how much their work was liked by the number of downloads. I'm not a "social" person when it comes to the Internet and I don't participate in discussions or write comments but I will make sure to keep others feelings in mind in the future. We all think differently.

    Jen....a lot of the creators have stopped giving away freebies due to lack of commenting. Just trying to keep freebies alive.

    Dear Paulette, I am so sorry for taking your freebies for granted at times. I apologize from the bottom of my heart. It is just good common sense to say, Thank you! We teach our little ones as soon as they can talk then at times we ourselves forget to say it. I am going to try and be more aware of what I am doing online and thanking all of you that so freely share your love and talents with us.

    I can only imagine how discouraging it is when you give such a great talent of yourself and people just don't show their appreciation and love - all it takes is a moment to say thanks where as your talent takes such time and love!
    I appreciate and love all that you do for us!
    With much love, hugs, and friendship

    I too am guilty of not saying thank you. I usually go through a lot of the sites about midnight and I get up @ 4-4:30 a.m. to go to work. So I am sorry and I do appreciate all the work you put into your site. The rush I am in is not an excuse and I will try to do better.

    I visit this blog every day and sometimes I snag a freebie and sometimes not but I do appreciate all of them and what you do.
    For me, I will try harder to comment on every single one. Thanks for your generosity and sharing your talent.

    There have been few times when I haven't expressed my gratefulness. There have been times (this morning) that clicking on "comments", it doesn't connect. Today I had trouble with the "sister sentiment' and "Advisory". I switched back and forth between two browsers before one of them finally connected so I could add my comment. (I tried each one at least five times.) Had I not read "Advisory", I would't have tried two browsers or attempts to connect. The "whole class" will be disappointed because of a few bad apples. All this said, I understand.

    Anonymous....sorry that you had trouble trying to leave a comment.
    Unfortunately there are not just a "few bad apples" When you have hundreds/thousands of downloads and you see 15-20 comments or less....the remainder are not a few.
