As the lady was your friend, I would have thought that she would have said something, and not just stand back and take all the credit!! Even if I'm blogging and I see a little verse that I like, or something like that, I always ask the person before I use it, and then I always do a link to their blog. It's only good manners really, isn't it?!Southhamsdarlinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12285980805569582676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-869677804884144678.post-73838511953011892262011-11-04T14:40:06.028-04:002011-11-04T14:40:06.028-04:00This happened to me once.

I had posted one of my seasonal collages in a online scrapbooking photo gallery, because I like to share and really don't mind if people copy my ideas, but a friend of mine found that an online store had copied my seasonal collage almost to the T and had offered it as a tutorial on their site. I wouldn't have minded, except they didn't give me credit. I could have contacted them, but just let it go. Maybe if they had been charging for the tutorial I might have said something to them. I try and always give credit if I copy someone's idea.Jen-uinely Inspiredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06461929215336269432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-869677804884144678.post-29344015367195059122011-11-03T22:20:30.584-04:002011-11-03T22:20:30.584-04:00Have to agree with Laurel.

Yes, give credit where credit is due.<br />It's fun to be inspired by others, and it's fun to be inpiring to others.<br /><br />It's hard to pin-point just who has an idea first. <br />I have seen so many blog posts that claim to be original. How is that? I've seen the same idea dozens of times before.<br />Same with recipes...etc....<br />Hmmmmm.....Kerinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16836707727301350889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-869677804884144678.post-32080260286366224092011-11-03T22:14:31.602-04:002011-11-03T22:14:31.602-04:00As the oldest of 4 girls my mom used that saying o...As the oldest of 4 girls my mom used that saying on me all the time :) I think people should always "give credit where credit is due". But I know that doesn't always happen...this is a toughie out here in BlogLand isn't it? I agree with Debbie, fun to get inspiration from others sometimes...but put your own "spin" on it :) LaurelLaurel@ChippingwithCharmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10731606396098435413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-869677804884144678.post-45714166230149975812011-11-03T19:24:15.956-04:002011-11-03T19:24:15.956-04:00Great thoughts here, and I totally get what you ar...Great thoughts here, and I totally get what you are saying. To me, being inspired is great, but putting your own twist on it is even better..it makes it your own, however with an initial influence.Debbiedooshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18206855970605853635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-869677804884144678.post-83843909138914700322011-11-03T19:07:22.621-04:002011-11-03T19:07:22.621-04:00It's so funny because on my last post I talked...It's so funny because on my last post I talked about how I can be such a copy cat...LOL!
