I wish more people held others accountable for their words and actions. I told myself I would keep my mouth shut this year. Well that's never been who I am as a person.
If you feel the following resonates with you..so be it. I don't want your business. Trust me when I say, it's okay. I'm not going to block anyone. Though it's tempting. It usually backfires or people just get another account/person to stalk me.
Here's the truth. I get messages ALL the time. All the time. I get messages how I learned, where I get things, etc. It doesn't bother me. I mean it does and it doesn't. In all honesty, I've done it. I've messaged people where they got a file or if something is their works, etc. I've even gone back to buy the item from them. Not to copy but show my support.
What I really dislike are those individuals who forget where they came from. Someone shared with you where they got things, you watched someone else make something, you got inspired from someone.
My business relys on word of mouth. Have I pi**ed people off. YUP am I still pi***ng people off. YUP.
If you don't want to share where you got an attachment. That's YOU not supporting the person you are buying from. If you are selective in sharing who you buy from and intentionally exclude one person over and over. It's disrespectful.
I've had wreathmakers message me on Etsy/IG/TT/FB to ask how I made something. Tell me they aren't buying from me. Just so they can make it themselves. I've had people copy my ideas- teach my ideas, just because they can. Wanting to flex. Guess what....it's all part of the game.
I've had wreathmakers ask me to copy someone else's work. Sometimes I say no sometimes I'll say yes. When it's NO I tell people to, just buy from them. I respect the other person. I can guarantee 1000% the same RESPECT is not given to me. Guess what..the times I copy, I don't respect you.
I have wreathmakers asking other attachment makers to copy me. Even people who worked with me before. The game is a 2 way street people.
I've had wreathmakers ask me where someone got a particular sign, attachment, anything. SO THEY CAN COPY. I've had wreathmakers tell me they wouldn't know how to design with an attachment. Asking for inspiration photos of how it's used.
So bottom line. Stop being a bunch of HYPOCRITES. A hypocrite is someone who says they have a particular "moral" belief but behaves in a way that shows they are not sincere. So if you are asking someone else to copy, or you copy...don't go bitching about being copied!!!!
Like I said...if it resonates with you. It's meant to. Please take your business elsewhere.
Have the day you deserve.
