Been awhile, eh? You may or may not know, this is my favorite time of year, and I just couldn't resist doing a couple. Just want to remind you, please don't alter them. I've noticed so many out there being resized and distorted. I've also been informed and seen for myself some of my tag requests being used for profit. I will no longer do tags for those that have done that. Sorry, this is fun for me, not so someone can use them to make $$. I don't necessarily mean selling them, but to profit from the use for whatever reason.
Today was a pretty relaxing, boring day. Back to work tomorrow after a nice long weekend. I should be happy for the time off, but damn it is never long enough. Lazy sod I am, eh? LOL Only a few more weeks before my vacation at Christmas. I will no doubt use a couple of 2 hour passes as well as use the one other day I have. Use or lose it is the policy. Probably use it during the middle of the week when my son is off and do more shopping. I've often bought him gift cards for the local malls, but they have now instituted a fee to buy one. A fee??? You've got to be kidding me! Talk about total greediness. It's not enough that I am spending a couple of hundred dollars to use at your stores, but you want to charge me for the privilege? Bite me! Rest assured I won't even be going to that mall. My son agrees. He also needs to help with a few items for his girlfriend.
Hope everyone had a great day... and a wonderful weekend. Back to the grind tomorrow.
Hugs

Are you kidding me? They're charging you a fee to buy a gift card? That's the nuttiest thing I've heard! ::shaking head::
Love all the snags! Thank you.
Off to sign your guest book. :)

Wonderful tags!!!

I can't believe that the mall is charging a fee!!! How awful! I wouldn't use it either! I hope you have a great week! I can't believe people were using your tags to profit in any way... so sad. :(
be well,
Dawn
Donna
I always love your Christmas time graphics with all the snow and the warm fuzzy type feelings they provoke. I agree about the mall that charges a fee for the gift cards. There are many other places that will accept your money without the additional fee. Hang in there at work, those vacation days will come soon.
Sam
a fee for a gift card???? no way!!!!!!
love the snowman!!!
Thanks for the reminder that Christmas vacation days are not that far away! I need something to look forward to during this horrible season. bah humbug ;)

Donna, those tags are beautiful !!!!!!!!!!!! Thank You for sharing, Hugs Lisa
Well I hope your work week goes by quickly and without any problems....have fun shopping with the son...that will be a great way to spend some time together...
I heard about stores charging to use their gift cards...is that not a kick in the butt or what? I do not understand that kind of rip off...
Take care

Adore all the graphics Donna .yes it's a pity stores are getting so greedy.I went to one and the girl never wrapped anything,when I asked her for a bag,she replied,oh! we who now charge for the plastic bags they put your goods in,when I was told this I replied,well you best put the goods back on the shelf then thankyou I am out of here .I am disgusted .LOL!! I ask you what next? and I walked out.I was furious.So there profits were well down that day.LOL!!I hope you both get sorted with your gift list.Thankyou for the sangs they are beautiful.Take Care Have a lovely Monday if possible God Bless Kath

Love the snags Donna.
Everything seems to be about money these days, and how to make a quick profit.
Have a great Monday.

THESE ARE BEAUTIFUL ~ such a wonderful talent you have! I am especially thankful that you share that with all of us!
Have a great Monday & week ahead!
I love this time of year too!
Hugs ~ Lois B
You do right to avoid the Mall in question Dee. I can see less footfall through their doors because of their greed! What a cheek!!!
Lovely tags. They are helping to set the mood of the season to come already.
Thank you.

Cute,cute,cute graphics! My favorite of winter is snowmen! I love them and have a fairly decent collection here at home in my Christmas decorations and then getting tons of them via tags and snags...it just makes me smile!! LOL
That's crazy that the mall is charging for gift cards! Simply rediculous! While we're living here in Germany we're trying to buy our family and friends authentic German gifts that they and we will not be able to find (at least not easily or as cheaply) when we leave here! We go to little towns and Christmas markets and find unique items! Which I love!!
Have a great Monday!
What a nice bunch of snags, I took em all! I can't believe people are selling your work! Not me! I'm not that smart.. or stupid what ever way you look at it. I have to go out and finish shopping myself. Linda

I think your graphics with the falling snow are the best I've seen.Some make it fall too fast. The second one looks like real flakes.Beautiful.
I haven't been charged for 'buying' gift cards yet,if they ever tell me they are charging they'll get a 'bite me' from me,LOL.
I closed that journal,no one visited,but the graphic I had up (they had you direct link to their site) changed and it was 'nasty'Not at all what I wanted for that journal...oh well..
Have a magnificent day....

Some people just can't understand simple T&C's, can they, Donna. Have a good week.

I can't believe folks are selling your work. I'd be ticked too.
LORI
Yes, I can tell this is a favorite time of the year for you...the tags are great. A fee? Wow, I don't blame you for not shopping at that Mall. Hope your vacation will be very relaxing...and full of joy.
Hugs and love,
Joyce
What a great time of the year to vacation. Good for you, enjoy when it rolls around.
Brenda
thank you for the snags....whoever used them for a profit are thieves.
most gift cards, like at WM, dont charge you anything. Gotta watch some gift cards expire in a time limit and if the person doesnt use them in that time limit you lose the cash.
Love, lisa
Great snags hun TY for sharing them :)
Thanks hun and always know .I would never do that to you or anyone else. That is a shame that someone would do that. Mammaw(Hatty)
I haven't signed your guestbook yet sorry :( Love the graphics can't believe people would be using them to make money!! Outrageous!! I know what you mean about time off work never being long enough lol
Jenny
I sure hope no one was using your tags to make money! Great snags and thank you.

Donna, hello :) Been sitting here today (home alone as my sweetie is traveling for the week), playing music, dancing, eating, lazing (no work at all involved)... it's been wonderful!
Your snag are all beautiful! Thank you for sharing! I enjoy using your tags within my family website... am from a family of 14 children ~ all grown now with children and grandchildren ~ most of them. They enjoy your creations as much as I do! Thanks so much for sharing your daily stories, as well as your beautiful creations! Hugs, Carla
I don't understand why people have to steal and mess things up for you Donna.
Ithink your tags are wonderful and I appreicate you sharing them with me...you have cute ideas and such
Donna In TEXAS
Lovely graphics nobody does it better. Love Joan.
These snags are awesome, Donna (as always) and thank you SO MUCH for sharing! Christmas is my favorite time of the year, too. When I think of what Jesus did for us, I'm in awe. I just hope that when everybody goes shopping and gets caught up with all the "buying" frenzy, they remember what Christmas is all about. Do you think you could do a snag with "Jesus Is The Reason For The Season" on it? Or have you already got one you could put up again so that I could snag it?
Thanks a lot,
Cynde

Having a relaxing and boring day on a Sunday is great. Glad you got to do that and create your tags. I snagged the snowman. Thanks for sharing with us. :)

Geez leave it to a few to almost ruin it for everyone. Glad you're still offereing. It seems awful to me that someone would steal (which is what it is if they are using YOUR work for profit) anyone's work. I would think your name on them (trademark like) should be good enough but maybe you have to do the trademark thing as suggested.
BTW Lovely tages!
Luv,
Promise
Hoping your week is good to you ~ Wonderful work! Take care and enjoy!
Katie
I snagged. They are awesome. Ty. I will go sign your guest book right now, lol. ((((Hugs)))))
Love,
Cindy xo
I had just heard some more problems with some of the gift cards..They expire or have a monthly fee if not used...I don't know why they would have something like that when they already have our money.....
Hope you have a wonderful day tomorrow...
Sheri
Maaannnn.... You do AWESOME snow!
:)
Thanks for the great snags D .
OMG..... How cheeky...... thats seriously taking the 'P' ;o)
As for people taking and using your tags and trying to make money out of them...... thats out of order . I appreciate each and every one that is made as i do not do psp myself and the idea that someone would use someone elses talent and time is appauling

Beautiful tags! Thank you for sharing. Hope the days will pass fast until your vacation time comes along :) Hugs, Maria
I snagged the snowman ~ too cute! Thanks =)
I agree the weekends are never long enough!
I am taking a vacation day christmas eve....so I will be off that sunday, mon and Tuesday.....I can't believe that mall charges a fee....sad isn't it! Hope you are having a good week...
Sorry people are mis-using your tags and doing things with them they aren't suppose to....you work hard on them for us...and I am so thankful you share your talent with us.
Hugs

Very sorry to hear that some are taking these and using them for profit, I had to take my paintings off my profile for the same reason people were copying, printing and framing them. It is sad to see this happening but I guess some will do it. You tags and graphics are wonderful and i greatly appreciate all you make for me.
I'm sorry your tags have been used for the wrong reasons, Donna. I can't believe someone would do that! But, then again, nothing surprises me anymore when it comes to people...how sad is that?
I've never heard of paying a fee to a mall for a gift card. You can bet I won't buy one, then!
Hope you have a good day.
Pam
I checked out your guest book but didn't sign in! :0
I'm taking our snowman D ... he'll love New England just fine!
Thanks!
