6% of Downloaders....

leave a comment.....seriously???..............
That means 94% of freebie snaggers are not leaving a comment, or saying thank you.
And that does not include the nice people that have emailed me and are saying prayers for my family......thank you......but really..............would you be feeling the love?

    So sorry you are still having problems with this:-( Proud to say I am one of 6% and donate when I can. Your concerns have made me diligent about finding ways to thank everyone who offers a freebie. Maybe there needs to be a way for people to sign in to get it? I have a new blog and I have already put your blinky on my sidebar:-)

    I understand your frustration, and I feel it too since I do comment. Not sure how to change it, and I would hate to see you go away. I'm sure sending them out by e-mail is a major pain, so do what you have to and we will understand. (We may not like it but we will understand.) Thank you for all you do for us. URInMyPrayers.

    Am pleased and proud to be part of the ONLY 6%....Come on girls and gays, it's not fare on Paulette, her teamp and the wonderful work they do for us to be pleased.

    But it's true that "if ou give someone, your finger, they will want your hand". It's probably not what you say in English, but bet you understand what I mean.

    It only takes 2 min to leave a comment so....

    After your previous post about not leaving comments, I've made it a priority to comment on everything I download. It must be frustrating. People are always in a rush nowdays. I look at your site every day, one of the first after checking my email. I don't always download. You keep me inspired to come up with some ideas on my own. I really appreciate all you do.

    Hi Paulette, I am glad to be one of the 6%. A little thank you should not be such a big effort; if you have time to download the freebie; you should at least take the time to leave a nice comment. To those 94%: be nice when you take somebody else's work!!!!! Regards

    I am so sorry you are still having trouble, I like Judy have made conscious effort to comment on any freebies I download (plus I now know how to do it by adding my name - I couldn't always do it through google account!lol). It really brought it home to me when I saw how many were downloading and not commenting the last time you mentioned this - it's very disheartening, so I am very sorry this is still happening

    Just reading your sentiments is such fun.... you're brilliant!!! I don't snag them all. I have more sentiments than time to create cards with all of them.
    But it is sad that still such a small percentage of the downloaders leave comments....
    On the other hand.... look at it this way: soooo many downloads means that the 'snaggers' do love you a LOT!!!

    Hi Paulette.
    So sorry you are feeling unloved.
    I love the freebies you share with us and try to remember to say thank you. So thank you for the past freebies you have shared with us all and thank you for todays freebie. I will keep you and your family in my prayers and pray you soon feel much more love from the crafting world where I'm sure you are really appreciated even by people who forget to say thanks.
    Sending hugs.

    Sooooooooo sorry that ppl still don't know the phrase "THANK YOU", you know the saying: what goes round comes round,one they those rude ppl will get it back and maybe then just then they will know the meaning of that two little word.
    Your blog thought me how much that 2 little word means to ppl like yourself and ever since I comment cos I know how much feedback means to the person who gives.

    Hi Paulette
    I'm sorry to see your sadness and disillusion again.... I haven't been nabbing freebies of late, as I only take the freebies I will use, I'm not just a collector.
    With my own family issues, I've not been visiting so much .... but you're in my prayers daily, and if there was a special prayer request, I'm sorry that I missed it.
    Thank you for being YOU!!!

    Thank you for your designs. I try to leave comments when I come to your website. I will say I have been amiss. When I get your email I have a tendency of not leaving a comment because there is not a link there. I will try to followup by going to your website so I can thank you properly.

    I always TRY to leave a comment but sometimes, different blogs won't let me.. I end up in a loop that says my email will not work... other times it works just fine. I can not determine what I am doing wrong or why this happens.. I am going to copy this and email it to you if I have that problem with this comment...

    That's shocking! I thought it would at least follow the 80-20 rule (20% of the people do 80% of the work...or in this case 20% of the people say thank you?)

    Kaylie and I love you, Paulette! We always say thank you to ALL artists for any freebies we take. You all put your hearts and souls into it and are so generous to share them for free. The least people can do is say "thank you." Their mothers would be so disappointed in them!

    Paulette, I truly understand your frustration. When I spend a lot of time to make a special card for someone, it means so much to receive a comment. Sadly, most of the time, I hear nothing. I hope that more people will give you the thanks you deserve for being so very generous with all of us. A very big thank you from me. Prayers for your son also.

    I really don't understand people anymore. Did they not learn about manners or just common courtesy. When given something you say "Thank You" - it is that simple. Of course many of these people won't be reading the comments we are writing to you either. Sad! Very sad!

  51. ShellySeptember 14, 2011 at 6:28 PM

    I'm part of your 6%. It's simple - if I don't have time to leave a thank you, I don't download a freebie, even if it means I miss out on a limited time freebie.

    I'm so sorry to hear that such a low percentage of people leave comments. :( I had thought the numbers of comments were up from what they used to be.

    Sadly, I see a low number of thank you's on the most of the sites that give away freebies. I love and appreciate the freebies that you are so generous with, but I sure could understand if you felt the need to stop giving them. No one likes to feel unappreciated or used. Big hugs to you, Paulette.

I give you credit where I use your work, and am happy to have your badge on my blog, or my cards on your blog...

I am new to cardmaking and digistamps so please know that there are grateful people out there that didn't intentionally mean any disrespect. Your free images (and others like you) allow new people like myself to start digital scrapping and we are very grateful. Thank-you.

Even on those days I don't comment I am thankful, but I should tell you. Your blog is one of the highlights of my day. I try to buy items from the store and join clubs, not just because your stuff is awesome, but as another way of saying thanks for all the freebies. I know that you are going through a tough time right now and you are in my thoughts and prayers.

    Too often I've tried to leave comments on blogs, and found it difficult to figure out 'what i am" I don't want a google account. Open ID doesn't work. I dont' have a blog or URL to list. Sometimes anonymous doesn't work, OCCASIONALLY it will but only if i do a preview first. I do appreciate all the freebies and lovely projects available to view, but have wondered why my e-mail doesn't work for commenting. (and I'm crossing my fingers i can get this to post)

    I am ashamed to say that I am sometimes part of the 94%. Not all the time, but I will make sure I leave a comment in future, not just to you, but everyone. I do love your work and it is appreciated. I have not been around much recently, so have no idea what is happening to you and the family, but whatever it is you are in my thoughts and prayers.

    Hi Paulette,

    I'm in total agreement with you and find it very disheartening when offering an image which is downloaded over a 1000 times but only 25 comments are left.

    I love giving and put a lot of love into my images but am now offering less and less due to this problem.

    I salute you for shouting this out as I didn't want to offend anyone by saying how dissappointed I was with this issue.

    Hugs

    I try to leave comments each time I download but must admit sometimes I neglect to do so. I will try much harder to leave some love each time since you and so many others are so generous with your talents. Thanks again - your site is one of my favs!

    A good reminder. However, not being computer savvy, I do not always know how to leave a comment on these sites. Ocassionally it works for me, other times I try and try with no result. I try under Anonymous as haven't worked out the other options yet. So here goes on your site. Love, Sue from Oz

    I totaly hear you. I'm really new to blogging. Only a couple months now. At first I was just happy to see on my little global image, where people were viewing my blog from.

    But now, seeing the numbers that have viewed my blog, and how many actually leave a comment.....it's almost concerning.

    Do people not like what they're seeing? Is my stuff that bad??

    But then when I see that I have like 23 followers, and some that have 100's or 1000s of followers, and still they only get a handful of comments. I AS feel bad.

    I guess people are always in that 'rush' mode and don't stop to smell the roses. Pitty. Cause patting someone on the back makes both feel good - doesn't it!

    Thanks for all you do.

    Wow are you feelin' the love!! I thought I would never find the end of the comments section lol. I have been a follower forever and must admit that I don't always leave a thank you note. Funny how we think, I thought you would have so many you wouldn't have time to read them. My bad! I will make a better effort to have you on my grateful list. Thanks and blessings for all you do!!!

    Thank you for all the wonderful images and sayings. I haven't always commented and I don't always download, but I love checking you almost every day and seeing what you have come up with. I will try to be better about commenting, especially when I download, but know in your heart that you are appreciated and anyone who sees what you do knows how creative you are and I'm sure doesn't mean to disrespect what your are doing. Our prayers are with you and hope you know you are loved!

    I have been absent for a bit and am sorry to come back to hear about the on-going issue of NO comments. I learned about the need for these quite awhile ago and have been a 6% person for quite some time. All you do is so very appreciated and your work is spectacular! Please be encouraged by those of us who love you! Keep on keeping on! Dee

    Hi Paulette, I am guilty of not always leaving a comment when I take one of your freebies. I sometimes take one or two or more on the same day and leave a comment on only one. I have not visited as often lately so hadn't heard about your son. Will pray for you and your family. I do really appreciate your talent and generosity. Regards, Roxy

    Thanks for all you do for us, I do try to comment. I'm fairly new to all this, I comment under annonymous, not everyone has this facility it's when they don't that I can't comment. I'm not sure that I want lots of different accounts to comment. Maybe I should make a list of places without the facility and not visit them or maybe digi designers could add annonymous to theier lists to make things easier for the newbies. This wasn't supposed to sound negitive and I am really greatful for what you do. I'm just a bit over awed about what I should be doing.

    Hello, I am new to the digi world and I apoligize for not taking the time to say thank-you. I have gotten a few of the digis, I have not used them yet because I have to understand how they are used. I enjoy looking at all of the spectacular work, it is so beautiful and amazing how much talent is represented on this site.

    God bless you for everything that everyone does to make all this come together.
    Thank-you. Jaye.

    I'm happy to say I am one of your 6%. Every once in a while I have trouble with my Google account and it won't allow me to post a comment. Haven't figured that out yet... but when that happens I always shoot you an email letting you know why I didn't comment when I snatched digis.

    I've been away for a while so I'm sorry to hear you are still having problems with getting comments/thank yous. So sad.

    I appreciate what you do for me and the others and thank you from the bottom of my heart.

    I just tried again and I am still having an issue I think with google I have had problems with leaving comments with my google account and must confess I just stopped...after reading this I once again feel very guilty as I did good for a while and then I had the problem. I love all your freebies and have bought from you from time to time...but i will try hard to be better and not just here but on all the freebies. I am going to try to post this anonymously that sometimes works for me thanks again and your family is in my prayers.

    it's awful that no appreciation is shown for all the work that is done on the websites and the digitals that are provided to us free. I do say thank you to at least 75 to 80% of all the freebies that I copy. I would hate for these wonderful artists to thrown in the towel and quite providing these delightful digitals. They are what make out cards so great!!! Thank you!

  107. Vicky GouldSeptember 16, 2011 at 3:51 AM

    I am guilty of NOT always saying thank you, however, I do put the artist name next to the digital when I save it and try to always give credit when I use it. For all the hard work you do finding and downloading digitals I truly thank you from the bottom of my heart!! God bless.

    Been gone for a few days so I'm trying to catch up with all the wonderful graphics you discover for us. I would say I leave a comment 99% of the time. The only time I don't is when I can't locate the (hidden) comment box. I "always" look,but if isn't visible (to me)fairly soon I usually go on. However, I DO leave a bit of mental love and a thanks. I know that may not show, but I do appreciate all the gifts.
