I havent been on here in a while, due to some issues that have popped up into my life. What I considered a pothole is now just a bump in the road. In fact a cross road that led me to think deeper about my small business. I love what I do and I am going to continue to post and create all of my designs. I had fear to post in the past due to another designer copying some of my line. I know that imitation is the biggest form of flattery but in this case it was down right unethical. I posted a note to my Facebook page airing my frustration on this matter never mentioning names and somehow she got wind of it and said I attacked her. She "deemed them as her own and thought I was malicious and uneducated" on her designs that she stole. She must have felt guilty for the exact duplication of a few of my pieces and has since removed them from her page. Hopefully she gets a creative bone and designs something that is original and stop making excuses that her "clients wanted my designs." She considers this her "hobby" not a business, so therefore it is okay to steal ideas and charge people for it. Anyways I am done with my venting...After all this is my blog and I can yap!
Onwards and upwards. I have a great show planned next weekend and am traveling 3 hours south to do it. I am tying it in with a nice visit to a wonderful friend of mine in Temecula! My dear friend Kari just had a beautiful baby girl and I can hardly wait to shnooozle her!
I am also creating new things and am serving up a little piece of delicious everyday...eye candy that is! Remember...YOU SAW IT HERE FIRST! LOL Happy Almost hump day!
