There are some bitter jealous people...Hi Brenda. <br /><br />There are some bitter jealous people around, and you're right we do all draw inspiration from each other. I saw your tutorial, and may I say what a fab job you did. The original idea may not have been yours, but the tutorial was. Go girl, and don't be out off by others who have clearly nothing better to do than bicker about who said what first. <br /><br />Take comfort in the fact that there are many ideas in this world that people draw inspiration from, that's why we don't just have one unique vacuum cleaner, TV programme, automobile, rubber stamp, etc ,etc, I could go on, but you get the idea. And do they all give credit to the inventor, I don't think so. You did nothing wrong.<br /><br />Don't let it get you down, you have lots of support from others, and to those who no longer wish to follow your blog....well it's their loss...but I bet they take a sneaky peak when no one's watching. <br /><br />Take care<br /><br />Hugs Debbie xxDaisy Chainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01919413606022653496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6648324448256287077.post-47332309717160248652009-12-20T16:07:03.097+00:002009-12-20T16:07:03.097+00:00Hi Brenda,
I've just come across your blog vi...Hi Brenda,<br /><br />I've just come across your blog via the Sir Stampalot Smudges Blog. First of all I think your cards are excellent. You are one very talented lady.<br /><br />I read this post and all the comments with interest. Because of the nature of my job I am frequently involved in ensuring that 'intellectual property rights' (IPR) are protected and not infringed. I have yet to see your 'roses tutorial', but have seen TH's as I followed his 12 Tags posts. But as several of the other comments have stated there are plenty of tutorials in blogland on how to make paper roses. The person who wrote the comment on your blog obviously doesn't understand the law of IPR. TH never claimed the method or the design of making the roses as his own, neither have you. The person who left the comment on your blog ought to have checked the facts, before rushing into print.<br /><br />Don't let them get to you. Jsut think of all the lovely people in blogland who obviously do care about you.<br /><br />I don't have a blog, but have added your blog to my bookmarked blogs.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6648324448256287077.post-65592050900575483652009-12-19T20:29:21.829+00:002009-12-19T20:29:21.829+00:00Oh Brenda..I cant believe that someone could be so...Oh Brenda..I cant believe that someone could be so nasty...who cares who did them first...all I know is that your tutorial shows us less talented crafters how to do it, surely this is what blogland is about...the sharing of techniques and ideas. So hun..dont give this person a second thought..have a ((hug)) and I must thank you for all your lovely and encouraging comments you leave on my blog...have a fab christmas...<br />Love<br />Jan...xxxLilyPuss Cardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16140779938705792697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6648324448256287077.post-13477713808779992502009-12-19T12:39:23.310+00:002009-12-19T12:39:23.310+00:00Hi Brenda, not been around for a few days and miss...Hi Brenda, not been around for a few days and missed all this nonsense. It is heart warming to read all the wonderful responses above you must be savorying each and everyone. New really new original ideas are few and far between, everything is inspired by something else and the flow of creativity is fed by that and each persons version is their own. You are one of the most creative and inspiring people in this fantastic art and craft movement that we are all part of. Probably your corrospandant has been inspired by you and has used some of your ideas in the past, and knowing you they will have been congratulated on the result. Quite apart from the fact that they are wrong because you preceeded TH with your tutorial, unless their work is all completely origional and unique the comment was hypocritical.<br />please do not stop your tutorials your caring sharing has done so much for so many of us. (((hugs))) and xxx of to catch up with the other wonders on your blog that have been missed these last few days.Zoechaoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06436679477049955594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6648324448256287077.post-51643365703041909082009-12-18T21:36:00.378+00:002009-12-18T21:36:00.378+00:00Good grief I'm moritifed that you should have ...Good grief I'm moritifed that you should have received this mail!

I love your blog and am very grateful that you did the roses tutorial -even though I haven't got round to trying it yet. The thing is - even if your tutorial is similar to TH's or anyone elses in fact - I don't visit his blog so wouldn't have seen it. <br />Just imagine if every time someone shared something with some-one else on a blog, no-one else was allowed to pass it on or share anything remotely similar. It doesn't bare thinking about. The more people like you are prepared to share their knowledge with less talented folk like me the more we can all learn.<br />Beeryl xxBerylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10490679271651403511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6648324448256287077.post-47926618804089049142009-12-18T16:35:06.920+00:002009-12-18T16:35:06.920+00:00Hi Brenda I have not been about as Ive been very b...Hi Brenda I have not been about as Ive been very busy but was upset to read this please don't take any notice these sort of folks are not worth it and keep up your lovely work <br />have a lovely Christmas too<br />Liz xxLizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04704668193051241749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6648324448256287077.post-3144715022626758452009-12-18T15:14:15.834+00:002009-12-18T15:14:15.834+00:00Hi Brenda, Ive only just noticed this post, as I h...Hi Brenda, Ive only just noticed this post, as I have not been on the blog for the last week or so.

I can be honest and say I have seen very simalar versions of this rose on several blogs all claiming to be the one that thought of it.<br /><br />And I am sure you did. I took some scallops and made flowers from them thought I was the fist and them came across at least 4 blogs that had thought of it too! we are crafters and I am sure at some point many of us find a tecqhneque and think I will share this (as most crafters do) and then low and behold another crafter has the same idea. <br /><br />Please do not be at all upset I am sure this person has just thought unjustly you copied but we know you and love you, and know you would never do this, the time you have listed others when you have used or even been inspired by others so any one who knows you will know this. <br /><br />Take it with a pinch of salt hunny.<br /><br />Love Dawn xxAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09454051870297280445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6648324448256287077.post-48610307150557564892009-12-18T10:14:13.867+00:002009-12-18T10:14:13.867+00:00I am confused why you were sent this message.

I, like many others, am grateful that you took the time and effort to prepare the tutorial to pass on your skills and knowledge. That's what teaching is about, if you could only teach something "original" then all the schools, colleges and universities would have to close down. We would never learn to read and write, etc, etc, etc, then were would we be?!!!<br />Big hugs, Clare xPinksyDoodleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08391383936911543959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6648324448256287077.post-34575907686575522502009-12-18T07:27:14.793+00:002009-12-18T07:27:14.793+00:00Brenda I think some people have waaaaay to much ti...Brenda I think some people have waaaaay to much time on their hands.

It makes me very angry to think that anyone could be so damned spiteful. Dont let the 'B' get you down, they obviously have no life and certainly have no love in it. They are quite obviously jealous of your natural abilities and your genuine love of creating and simply wanting to share your craft with like minded folk. I for one enjoy your work immensly and am very gratefull you squeeze in the time to make a tutorial for us and continually inspire us with your relentless zest for creating ! I don't know how you do it - but thank goodness you do. I am really sorry that you had to experience this awful person. Forget unfounded - its an extremely hurtful, upsetting and thoughtless act.
