Boring but very important!
Recently I have people ask me if they can use examples of my work either in articles, in study work or on websites, I have no problem with this – as long as you ask first! Recently I checked my stats and found that I was getting loads of hits from one site, checked it out, no link, couldn’t understand it, and then I realised that they were using one of my images! So I had to remove the image, she was using up all my bandwidth!!!!!
So this is the situation I’m in, so by default anything I create is copyrighted.
So I’m going to add this to the site, and you will always be able to refer to it im my side bar.
This means that other people can modify, improve, recreate, etc. entire designs or elements of my designs for personal use but not for commercial use. You can read more about the details, restrictions and requirements on Creative Commons website.
For me personally, if you do want to do anything with my work, just ask! Please, because if you link to an image and nab all my bandwidth, I will delete it, and you will lose the image too, so please just ask.
Hey that is the mean sounding me over now!

Hi. I totally deplore anyone who uses anothers work without permission and I would never do this. As a new blogger however I spend an awful lot of time on some blogs, methodically going through their links to other blogs as a means of researching whats out there, looking for blogging groups to join etc. I just wanted to say this as one day you may find someone else who is spending ages on your blog, and this could be the reason.
p.s I found your blog this way, a link from Lu Summers

I share Karen’s thoughts. I do the same as Karen because even looking at some great stuff people create makes me happy and cheerful. And sometimes I find some inspiration to do the things in my life that I keep postponing forever (which are not connected to the things I see on other people’s blogs). Thanks for sharing beautiful things with us!
