I didn't mean to go off on a rant yesterday, I just feel badly for my friend and sad that they have to struggle between sharing their journey and closing up shop because of a few lame arse, lazy people. This topic is one I am going to keep exploring because I think that the more we shed light on it, the less likely people are going to feel it's okay to steal intellectual property. They can't claim ignorance if we're all talking about it. Right?!
Thanks to Rachel at One Pretty Thing for posting my foam hearts necklace this past week. I love this blog because she takes the time to gather up rockin' crafty links for you and I'm always honored to be featured there.
February is almost over and we're that much closer to spring. I'm trying to stay on the sunny side, but I think it's okay to embrace the rainy days too. In fact, I've begun collecting images of people with umbrellas, which must be my subconscious mind's way of reminding me to open myself up to a little rain sometimes. It can't all be sunshine, lollipops and rainbows...because you need a little rain to make the rainbow. Here's what the Crafty Blogger Gang has dished up for your entertainment and edification:
