To all of you that have been adding comments and little notes of appreciation and encouragement.....I appreciate all of them so much.
Now that I have calmed down a tad...lol.........Just think of it this way.....if someone kept coming to your home ever day, and you handed them a gift, and then they just turned around and walked away with the gift...........would you be hurt, would you be confused, would you keep giving that person a gift every day?
Because that is what every designer that shares freebies does....gives you little gifts. Sure you can justify it by saying that they are doing this to get you to their blog, their store.....but even so, it is a gift......and I can tell you from my experience that there are sometimes thousands of snags to get that one sale.
So, please don't let it stop here, and don't let it die down (Don't make me get angry again..lol).....Say thank you for those gifts.
Thank you for reading this.

Luckily I think you will recognise some of the names that do try to remember their manners!

THANKS a MILLION
ReplyDeleteMost of Paulette's freebies stay up permanently, so please try to download only when you have time to leave her a thank you for each freebie.
ReplyDeleteMaybe we should post on our blogs a button similar to the one for people who steal digi images. I would be willing to put a button on my blog that reminded people to leave love when they snag images. :-D
ReplyDeleteThank you Paulette. There are several of us who really do appreciate all you do!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your work! I really appreciate it.
ReplyDeleteFeels good that you have calmed down but sometimes one's gotta express their anger too or else people walk all over you....However I just wanted to let you know that I appreciate your generosity.
ReplyDeleteWell said Paulette!!! I hope we all remember to appreciate your generousity as well as others. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteOf course someone should say thank you when they are lucky enough to have you give them the gift of your talent! (Wouldn't want my Mom or Grandma to be ashamed of me!!) So THANK YOU, PAULETTE for being so generous with all of us.

LOVE your talent!! TY sooooo very much for the FREEBIES! You are gracious & persistent!
ReplyDeleteBe abundantly blessed! D :)
I'm pleased to know that people responded to your words. I don't understand why people just take the freebie and don't read the blog, I love that you share a small part of your self with us.
ReplyDeletewell i sure someone didn't leave you a nasty note. if they did.......shame on them.

I used to snag and run quite awhile back, then I realized it only takes a moment to show appreciation and sometimes that's needed. You do such beautiful sentiments and do such a fantastic job on your images, I hope you do know that we adore them and you also for your kindness in giving, and for creating them for those of us untalented people.
ReplyDeleteSometimes snag 'n runners need to be reminded of what they do...
You are so generous it seems to me more people could write a simple 'thank you.' Looks like the numbers have been going up, but not as many as it should be. I'll fight for you! :)
ReplyDeletePaulette - I'm new on the site (found from SCS) - Follower 900!!! and I must say - I really love all your work, thanks so much for your freebies...you are so generous :-)
ReplyDeleteSorry but I do want to thank you so much, with hugs Shirleyxxxx
ReplyDeleteIt is just rude. What is sad, is that it isn't just here - but all around us. I hope your followers take the hint and thank you always - as you are one of the most generous people I know.
ReplyDeleteI am guilty of snagging and running and I apologize profusely for that. I've sent a personal email in the past expressing my gratitude and your efforts definitely do not go unnoticed with me. I just get so excited with the sentiments (normally waht I grab) that I forget to leave love! Again, my sincere apologies and heartfelt thanks for all you do. Have you joined "Stamp Out Stamp Thieves"? It's for digital artists.
ReplyDeletePaulette, I for one really appreciate you and the gifts you give so freely. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I buy when I'm able. God Bless you!
ReplyDeleteno...thank you! We love you!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad that folks are remembering to take time to say thanks for all the great images you share with us, Paulette! I know I sure do appreciate your generosity and greatly admire your talent!
ReplyDeleteThanks for all you do! Your digis are great and you are very generous! I do appreciate all of your work and your generosity
