First of all, please forgive me for any typos, etc.
\nI’m currently battling the illness of the century
\nwith Jedi bacteria in the form of Bronchitis…
\nand for the past 18 hrs. have been a wee bit
\n‘light-headed’ to boot… =\/<\/p>\n

Anyway, onto the post:<\/p>\n

Some people collect stamps, coins… tags.
\nMe? I collect pirates, thieves & the like
\nto add to my Wall Of Shame… apparently. >.<<\/p>\n

I really hate blowing the whistle on these people.
\nAnd I really hate being their target.<\/p>\n

BUT! It is what it is, I guess, which is why you
\nwere probably sent here by one source or another to
\nread the latest & to be given the knowledge of
\nwho to avoid in the tagging & kit designing
\ncommunity. I thank you for stopping by. \"smile\"<\/p>\n

The latest perpetrator is Angela Picard.
\nSome of you may know her by her ‘generosity’
\nin the way of offering so many ‘wonderful’ FTU kits.
\nWhat you didn’t know is that those kits contain
\nitems she has stolen from other designers’ kits-
\nbasically taking their hard work & claiming as her own…
\nand to add more salt in the wounds-
\nshe’s demanding others ‘respect’ her hard work
\n& time she puts into these atrocities.<\/p>\n

What I’m asking myself even now is what hard work?!?
\nThe work of her posting on her Google+ account
\nor in Facebook groups asking for people
\nto send her free kits she can steal from?<\/p>\n

Here’s a few examples of her ‘hard work’:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Last Thursday night I’d seen her post her
\n‘newest’ Halloween kit in a freebies group on Facebook.
\nI thought it rude how she demanded
\npeople respect her & demand they add her name to
\nanything they make with the kit….
\nand I was appalled that she ripped someone
\nfor posting a comment in the form of a sticker
\nthat said ‘thank you’. Like, seriously?
\nGratitude is gratitude. Be thankful they
\neven said thank you in one way or another. Pfft!<\/p>\n

So I ranted on my own FB page about it &
\nwent to work.\u00a0While at work, I had a funny feeling
\nabout her & decided\u00a0just out of curiosity
\nto download her kits when I got home.
\nFunny thing is, her kits aren’t available
\nfor some of us:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

But as I scrolled through her posts in one
\nfreebie group, I did notice something-
\nAt one time she took a kit from Tezza’s Designs
\n& slapped her designer name on it to offer as her own kit:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Apparently she got busted for that, but still…
\nIf it’s one thing I’ve learned-
\n99.9% of the time if they have ripped a kit once,
\nthey’ll continue to do so.<\/p>\n

So, I dug further into the group & saw she even
\nripped from my ‘Time 4 School’ kit,
\nwhich I’d posted on my blog on\u00a0Aug. 12<\/strong>\u00a0of last year.
\n*It has since been reposted on this blog\u00a0here<\/strong><\/a>.<\/em>
\n-Magik 03\/20\/2021<\/em><\/p>\n

Her kit she advertised on Aug. 19- a whole whopping week later:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Yet she is claiming I stole from her…???
\nHow is that possible, Watson?<\/p>\n

Now look at her kit preview again:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Do you see those books on the left?
\nHow about the alarm clock?
\nHere’s a screen shot of my kit,
\nopened in a folder on my computer:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Keep in mind that my kit was posted on this blog
\na full week before her kit.
\n…And there’s a 50\/50 chance those water-colours
\ncame from my kit too:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

On a side note… the books she took from my kit
\ncame from here:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

It’s a grey-scaled template, meaning ‘I’<\/em> had to colour
\nthe books that are in my kit…
\nColours that are part of my\u00a0colour palette
\nFOR that kit.<\/p>\n

I’m not sure which offends me more-
\nher not leaving a ‘thank you’ for my kit
\nor her not respecting me by adding my
\nname to her creation? LMAO<\/p>\n

Oh, and Angela has accused others
\nof ripping from her kits, which I find ‘amusing’:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

And I’m betting she’s still ripping from kits.
\nI have seen the kit previews & I recognize
\nstuff from other kits… so again-
\nand I can’t preach this enough-
\nbe PROACTIVE in looking at kits from
\npeople like this.
\nChances are, they’re using your kits
\nto make their own.<\/p>\n

Thank you for reading.
\nFeel free to share this post with everyone you can.
\nI’ll be adding Angela to my Wall Of Shame\u00a0as well. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n
