I want to star by thanking Anonymous who had discovered my designs in other places under a different author’s name. Thank you so much - whoever you are. I have been absolutely burning with anger all weekend. Not because of Anonymous “The Informer” (to her I am eternally grateful), but because of Anonymous “The Thief(s)”. Can you explain to me what they get from stealing other people’s designs, repack them (without my TOU of course) and upload as their own? They didn’t even bother to make their own preview…
The only positive things I have to say about people like that is that they are kind enough not to sell my designs and making money on my freebies (as far as know!) and they have really good taste in design…
So if you by any chance are one of the culprits back here for more - STOP IT! Try making your own designs. When you find out how much time (and money) it takes you might think twice before stealing from others.

If you are a fellow designer of freebies you might want to check out these sites for your designs:

http://www.downturk.info/
If you on your way around cyber space see any of my designs posted by others than me, please let me know by posting a comment or sending me an email.
Finally, a BIG thank you to Beth from the UK for saving my weekend with her really kind "thank you mail" - I love that kind of mails. It's nice to know that appreciation wins over abuse.
But enough about that - I can feel the anger coming back… I better read Beth's mail again before I go on...
Ahh, that's better.
Today I give you more love - another Valentine Alpha in gradient glitter from pink to silver. You get a full alpha (including Danish Æ, Ø & Å) with numbers and symbols.

Thanks for the alpha! I'm so sorry people are pirating your designs. It's really sad how some people are. . . no respect. :(
Hello Trine!
Sorry about your week-end...
You may think that people love your designs too much!
If I see something, I'll tell you.
I'd like to know who is this person...
Thanks a lot for all your gifts and love!
Friendly. Kisses from Sim.
thank you so much for the pretty alpha & all your freebies..I'm so sorry someone would do this to you or anyone for that matter..sending hugs your way..Stacey
Just a quick note to let you know that a link to this post will be placed on CraftCrave in the DigiFree category today [01 Feb 12:00am GMT]. Thanks, Maria
Thank you for all the wonderful files you make for us. I always love them.You are very talented. It is so sad that some people do not have a conscious and steal from others. Yesterday, I read a designer is done sharing her designs because of piracy. I wonder if hers were on the sites you listed?? What a shame! What goes around comes around! Ann
So sorry! I saw another designer post the same sort of message today about her designs being used in an unauthorized manner, so you unfortunately aren't the only one. It is SO wrong, and hopefully whoever is doing that will STOP!!
Thanks so much for your alpha, and for sharing your creativity with us 'good' people!
Thank you so much for this wonderful alpha! I appreciate all your freebies very much. I'm sorry to hear about your bad experience. Sending you hugs. Ann from New Zealand
Sorry to hear that you have also been affected by those who steal designs. Another designer who offers gorgeous freebies was also affected and her designs are also offered on that Downturk site. Hopefully you have some recourse.
A BIG THANK YOU for the stunning glitter alpha. God bless!
This is beautiful, Thanks so much
Oh, it makes me so angry to hear of these instances of piracy!! I hadn't heard of anyone doing this for quite some time, but in the last couple of weeks I have seen several designers complaining & being very upset. It is a very great shame, when these gifts are used in the wrong way. I sincerely hope this person or these people grow a conscience very soon. Thank you so much for all that you share .. it is truly appreciated! xxx
Thank you so much for this fun alphabet! It is exactly what I have been looking for!
