confused, angry,... just a few things I'm feeling right now... It was brought to my attention that we had a slightly negative comment left on one of the blogs participating in the Whimsical Wonderland kit. It says, "Thanks for the awesome freebies... But may I say, its almost more headache then its worth, some times you girls don't post your freebie on time, some people have limited PC time and to keep going back to see if she finally posted gets a wee annoying..Then one blog says go here and nope its some where else. More headaches... But thanks for the efforts. Happy Holidays!!"
Normally I let things roll off my sleeves. I know you can never please everyone with every thing you do. I've learned this through many things and mainly from making signatures for people on various sites over the past year. Everyone may love it but the person you're making it for may hate it. We all have different tastes and that's one thing that makes us all so interesting. But that comment really bothers me for several reasons...
More headache than it's worth? Then don't download it. No one is forcing you to. Kind of like forums that you don't like what is being said, don't read it.
We don't post our freebies on time? How can you put a time on this? Make note that the girls helping with this kit are in different times zones, completely different time zones. We have me in Central time, a few in Eastern, Flergs in Australia which puts her about 15-17 hours ahead of all of us, etc. So I'm not sure how we can be late... we are posting when we have time as we all have lives and like I said are in different time zones so it's impossible to get us all online at the same time to post everything at the same time everyday.
You have limited PC time? Well great! We've made this easy for you... all links are permanent so come back and download them whenever YOU have time.
One blog linked to the wrong blog for the next day? Oops, we're human... we make mistakes and we're sorry.
Also, let me point out that we all have husbands, children, jobs outside of being on the computer, families, pets, hobbies other than scrapbooking, etc etc. This is fun for us and that's why we made the kit. We do it when we have EXTRA time so I'm just baffled by that comment and the negativity. If it's such a headache then why bother. Like I said, I normally don't let this stuff bother me(I'm also very open and will speak my mind whenever if you haven't noticed), especially with things I design b/c I make them for ME! It's my creative outlet and I enjoy it. So if I design something someone else wants to use then that makes it even better for me, if not then I'm still happy. I'm just one of those that thinks don't like it, don't do it.
Sorry for my vent. I just don't understand people sometimes. All of the positive comments have been wonderful though! I did get an email with someone having some issues opening the files from all of the days and they were able to open one of mine. I'm not sure what the problem is but I have asked the other girls. I do not run Vista because it limits a lot of your programs so I'm no help when it comes to it. Hopefully we'll be able to help you soon though!

wow, I'm sorry that a sour pickle has to show up like that!
ReplyDeleteThis makes me mad just reading that someone was that negative. I can't believe that all of you have gone to all this trouble and given so freely of your time and talent and someone didn't have the intelligence to keep their mouth shout!! Sorry that had to happen. Maybe that person was just having a bad day and feels really upset that they took it out on your friend. Anyway, Thanks for all you have done. Merry Christmas!
ReplyDeleteThank you bunches and bunches for this wonderful event - I just discovered it yesterday and I'm having so much fun seeing the beautiful creations inside! You rock!!
ReplyDeleteSheesh!! I'm going slightly bananas trying to download everything, but I do think it is worth the trouble. If I didn't, I would stop. What a bleepty bleep bleep for leaving that post! May they be cursed with the slow download speeds (sometimes just bytes/sec) that I am getting!!
ReplyDeleteAnd a BIG THANK YOU to all of the designers doing this!!
I will never understand anyone that is getting something for free that bitches about it. Sorry someone put a damper on this for you. I think all you ladies that helped in the kit are awesome and I can't think you enough. I am having a great time collecting the kit.
ReplyDeleteThank you ALL from the bottom of my heart.
It's a wonderful kit
YOU GO GIRL! Talk about ungrateful! You have all stated clearly that the link are permanent -- anyone who wants them can come back next week when the fun is over. I personally like going to get my 'goodie' everyday. Keep up the good work and don't let the sour-puss get ya down. Some people need to learn to not 'byte' the hand that feeds them. haha! Thanks again for everything! :-)
ReplyDeleteWhat a neat kit. Thanks for sharing your talent. I for one really appreciate your effort along with the rest of the gang. All of the crew has done a great job.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you posted this blog post. No one should have received a comment like that - especially since all of you ladies are doing this for us for free. I wanted to thank you for all the hard work you and the others did. I truly appreciate it!
ReplyDeleteSeriously . . . who doesn't like shopping? I always feel like I've headed out for the day, searching for a bargain. I hit this link, that link - voila! There it is! And guess what? It's FREE! Even better!
ReplyDeleteSo sorry that someone had to complain to you for issues THEY were having. My hubby always gently reminds me in situations like these that we never know what is going on in the person's life. Just say a prayer for them and move on.
There are a TON of us out here that LOVE what you girls are doing. We appreciate that you are willing to share your designs.
Bless you!
I have to agree with you all. THANK YOU SO MUCH for sharing your hard work with us all. A big part of the fun for me is the search & finding so many people all across the world that love the same thing, scrapping in one form or another. Everyone who takes the time out of their busy lives to share with the world deserves our respect & not being flamed like that. Thanks so much for the wonderful xmas kits!! Happy Holidays :-)
ReplyDeleteJody
crud - people suck sometimes ay! - don't worry - you guys are doing GREAT!!!
ReplyDeleteHow sad to be reminded just how negitive some people can be... I would like to express how excited I am with this kit!!! I have enjoyed each and every part that has been posted to date. I am relatively new to digi scrapping (since May) and TOTALLY appreciate all of the freebies out here for us to use. That is one of the main things that attracted me to digi scrapping in the first place...the low cost. As a SAHM there is not a lot of extra $$ for hobbies, and this allows me to create beautiful pages to preserve my memories and not use a ton of $$ we don't have on supplies. I am so thankful to you and all the other designers who take the time to share the beautiful kits with all of us.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for the beautiful freebies! And a big thank you to all you girls who collaborated in making the kit. Don't let any ungrateful person ruin your day, you can't please everyone anyway. There's always someone who feels they need to complain, sheesh...lol. Happy holidays for you and your loved ones!! :o)
ReplyDeleteEveryone out in the Digital World that Loves all the work that all of you did to put this kit together. There is another person that is very popular, and makes great and beautiful work, had some nasty comments, so she just opened up her own store and startee chargeing for what she was giving away. Sometimes I wonder if those who are selling theirs, are the ones that leave the nasty comments, to discourage you from enjoying giving yours away. I worked with the public before I retired, and there is always some people you can never please.
ReplyDeleteThanks Again
Wow, some people are jerks. You are nice enough to create something wonderful for us...and give it away for free and they still complain. I want you to know how much I appreciate your talents and gifts and don't waste any negative energy on icky people. Life is too short....Thank you! Thank you! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry someone left a negative comment. I just wanted to say that I appreciate your hard work.
ReplyDeleteIt's too bad someone made such thoughtless comments. I don't understand how people can complain when they are getting something for FREE!?! Like you wrote, the links aren't on a limited time period, so it isn't like she would miss a day. It reminds me of the people who complain when they don't get a freebie on sites that usually give regular freebies or at crops where there isn't freebie, they forget that these are GIFTS, they aren't paying for them and designers giving gifts, aren't stores they paid money to in order to get anything back later on.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, know you are making many more people happy with your daily promotion!
Happy Holidays!!
Seeing as how day 8 isn't posted yet it won't do any good to post where to find it. Patience is a virtue...
ReplyDeleteWow!!! That was absoultly RUDE!!! I mean you guys spend all this time working on this, to be NICE!!! Not because you have to but because you want to. Whoever made that comment if your readinf this. How can you be so rude, and self centered. Do us all a favor, and don't download this kit everyday. You don't deserve to have this awesome kit!! To all of the designers. Thank you so much for a lovely kit!!!
ReplyDeleteJeez that WAS rude!!! Sorry we went to all this effort and it's still not good enough.
ReplyDeleteYou go girl, tell em' like it is... I have your back. I get those kind of mean spirited comments all the time and it just gets me mad when I think about them doing that to you. You remind me of my daughter and I will get fighting mad when someone says nasty things to her and I feel the same way about you. I am a designer but I love to get stuff from other people because I usually end up wanting something new and fresh that I have not had to make and then look at for days. You are very good at what you do, so keep it up and if you get a chance stop by my blog and say hi.

It is a FREE kit!! How can people be so rude to complain! They have no right to complain about a FREE kit that has PERMANENT links!!! I am disgusted. They must have some serious issues, and I hope they choke on their free stuff.
ReplyDeleteI would just like to add my comments. As an old age pensioner I have very little money to spend on my hobby and I appreciate all the freebies that are available from caring designers such as yorself. I just love this kit it is so beautiful and so diverse and I am so thankful that I have the opportunity to download it. Some people are just naturally ungrateful and usually everything is about them. I really don't think it will do any good saying anything about such people as they really think they are in the right. I just hope it doesn't make you feel like you don't want to produce any more freebies that will make this old lady very sad.
ReplyDeleteLots of Luv and
MERRY CHRISTMAS
Carole
I would just like to say "Thank You" for all of your hard work. It's a beautiful kit and I really appreciate that the links aren't going anywhere anytime soon and I can download them whenever I can get to them. THank you, thank you!
ReplyDeleteFirst I must let you know how much I appreciate your talent, your time and most of all your committment.
ReplyDeleteNext, I'm glad you expressed your frustration about that commenter. There's one in every crowd, but I hope you don't let their problem get in your way.
I totally agree! When I saw that comment, I was furious! Yes my time on computer is limited, but did I complain? No because I knew the time you guys have put in your kits along with your real life! That is really so low of the person!
ReplyDeleteOther than that... I want to thank you ladies for those wonderful kits! I haven't "unwrapped" them yet but I'm excited to have some freebies!
they complain when something is free!!!!!!! If you want the freebie, you put time into getting it, if not just skip it, don't complain about it. don't let that person get you down, they will most likely find coal in their Christmas stocking....
ReplyDeletethanks to all the designers for this wonderful kit, it is just amazing. I am enjoying each "surprise"
Thank you for your hard work for a darling kit. I have downloaded all of it so far and it is darling. I am sorry that someone has to be so negative and discouraging. I hope that the positive comments everyone is posting will far outweigh the negative comments of a couple silly people. You are all appreciated for your hard work! Also, because of this collaboration, I have seen your other work that I would most likely not have found had it not been for this freebie. I have bookmarked several kits for sale by many of the designers that have contributed to this kit and plan on buying some of the items after Christmas. Thanks again.
ReplyDeleteHey, YOU GO GIRL!! I can never understand why someone would leave a negative comment for something they are getting for FREE!! I am not a designer nor am I very "good" at digital scrappin' but I am VERY THANKFUL for the freebies that I cannot create on my own. I will thank all of you a thousand times over if I can erase just one bad comment from a LOSER!! THank you x1000. Merry Christmas Marsha
ReplyDeleteI sure hope the comments don't change your mind about scrapping... your creations are wonderful! There always has to be a "thorn" somewhere and two of them made it to the blogs... sheesh! I, for one, am so very grateful for all the wonderful creations. If I have to come back then so be it! How can anyone actually complain about freebies! They're gifts!!!!
ReplyDeleteANYWAY, I'm actually here to say thank you but just had to put in my two cents. THANK YOU! Awesome creations!
I am SO sorry you ladies have received such RUDE comments! I run a blog for another scrapping site and we receive quite a few of those too. I have been very frustrated and disheartened by the scrapping community lately. I have always seen it as a caring, considerate group. Boy have my eyes been opened! Here you designers take time out of your very busy lives to SHARE something and people complain about it?!??! Unbelieveable is all I can say!!
ReplyDeleteI must take some blame myself though. If all of use that ARE greatful for the generosity would leave comments that would help some. It is just as rude to take something and not take the couple of second to leave even a simple Thank You. So I apologize for not leaving a THANK YOU until now. Thank you for taking the time to share your talents with us all!!
what goes around, comes around. the wheel turns .... and maybe she was just having pms, who knows? anyhoo, thanks much for this lovely, totally amazing kit!!! you girls ALL RAWK!!!
ReplyDeleteI would like to be able to say that I am amazed there are people like this out there, but unfortunately I'm not. So sorry that one of them had to land here. You all are doing a wonderful thing. I am just getting started in digi scrapbooking...don't have a clue how to use what I am downloading, but I am sure looking forward to learning. AND when I do thanks to you all I will have lots to play with and use! I can't thank you all enough!!!!
ReplyDeletethank you so much for your beautiful work ......can't imagine any negative things to say....I just started learning how to scrap online...Wow!
ReplyDeleteso much fun:)
Thank you again for ALL of your wonderful work
Merry Christmas :)
i am so sorry that somebody left some negative comment. I think the kit is absolutely gorgeous, and what a christmas present, early too :) I have so enjoyed checking the site everyday and have found some wonderful designers and gals that I would not have otherwise. I love this kit as much, if not more than some of the holiday ones I have purchased, and it is so much more than just a holiday kit. It is a beautiful gift -- and there are so many of us that truly appreciate the time and energy that everyone has put into this mega mega mega kit, for free. Thank you for all your generosity. It does not go unappreciated!
ReplyDeleteif they don't like the freebies tell them to feel free to go BUY what they want! I however love them and really appreciate all the effort it takes to share. Thank you all soooo much!
ReplyDeleteWell I think most of the comments here have said it all. There is not to much more to add so I will just thank you and wish you the very best this holiday season. Will continue to look forward to your beautiful designs. Ginger
ReplyDeleteThank you! Ignore the negatives, some people just don't get it. Plus she probably thought she was being "nice" with the thank you, and didn't realize how negative it sounded probably. No clue, I always just hope for the best. Thank you for your time!
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry someone felt the need to leave negative comments. I'd just like to thank you for all the time and effort that's gone into creating all these amazing free downloads!!!
ReplyDeleteTHANK YOU!!!!
Wow, that makes me mad, too! You guys are all so sweet to take all the time to make the kits, upload them and get them to us!! I'm so sorry that someone had to ruin your day!! I just discovered this wonderful group of kits and I want to thank you all soooooo much for keeping them up for a longer time!!!!! You all ROCK!!
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas!!
Karen
People like that give me a pain. I live in South Africa and as most of the Kits available for sale are in $s it would be really expensive for me to buy all the kits I like. For this reason I rely a lot on freebies.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for this wonderful mega-kit. I plan to have lots of fun with it!
Hope you had a good Christmas and have a safe and happy New Year!
It's so nice that you all did this. Of course there would be a few glitches, like you say, you have lives, and the internet isn't perfect! Thanks very much, and I am enjoying running around collecting this! Thanks for leaving it up for those of us that just found you guys!
