Hi there,

Well today I will be playing a little bit of catch up. I love the things I do on my website, and of course sharing them with you too. One thing I have noticed is that I have at least 4 deadlines each week, that being the MIM, Take a pic Tuesday, Challenges on Fridays, and the Scrap it Saturday. Each of these events I love, and will continue with - the best that I can.

I just want to give you a gentle reminder that I am not Wonder woman, nor do I claim to be. I was a little peturbed when I recieved an email this week, stating someone’s dissapointment that I didn’t have the Make it Monday up yet. I know this person meant well, but to be frank it did hurt a little.

First and foremost I am a wife, and a mother of 4 young kids. That will always be my number 1 priority. So if my life with those priorities, gets in the way of me posting something on here, then that is just the way it will have to be. Please remember that I do love what I do on here, but it is FREE for all that view it. With my different committed posts I do each week, they are for fun and inspiration. I really don’t want to set expectations that just may not happen becaue I am caring for my family, or responsibilities. So if i am a little late posting them, I always apologize, but I won’t accept being told off for not having it up in time. I do know however that many of you are thankful and I truly appreciate your lovely comments you give me!

On another note, please remember that it is proper ettiquette to acknowledge the original creator of different pieces of work. I do the tutorials to share with you all, but I don’t appreciate people claiming it to be their idea or not mentioning the original creator. I do my utmost to create something for the Make it Monday, that has never been seen before. I make up the templates, measurements, and ideas by myself without scrouring Splitcoast or other people’s websites for the ideas. Please be reminded that you should credit who has created the original piece of work, when you duplicate them and display something on your website, classes etc. I know most of you do and I thank you sincerely.

Okay so I am sorry to start my post off with the heavy stuff, but I really needed to get that off my chest

So onto some more fun stuff……
