That would have been nice of her to contact me first, but maybe it truly was just "absorbed" by the writer, who internalized it and thought she was creating her own story. I see how that can happen!<br /><br />-PamPam of Eastlake Victorianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18149348967860577425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2250953785318479931.post-43790255130344961322011-02-03T06:52:50.085-06:002011-02-03T06:52:50.085-06:00Sounds like Plagiarism to me!

Although, my weakness is in coming up with unique and interesting things to write (which is why my blog sometimes sits with no activity for awhile!). I'll keep that in the back of my head.

I really harbor no ill feelings, and I certainly will continue to buy the magazine. Thank you very much or saying my post was better than the article... that's what I love about blogging: good people sharing ideas about things they know and love. As I am an ad-free blog, I'm not in it to make a buck. But if I were selling my original crafts, etc., on Etsy, I would be really mad if somebody ripped off my ideas!<br /><br />-PamPam of Eastlake Victorianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18149348967860577425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2250953785318479931.post-77337495463043957852011-01-24T17:28:12.618-06:002011-01-24T17:28:12.618-06:00Hello Pam,

What I would do is write a pleasant letter to the editor of this magazine saying that you are very flattered that your post was the obvious inspiration for their article and that you would be very happy to be a contributor for future articles.<br />Nothing may come of it, but It could also lead to a nice little gig that brings in a little money for something you love doing. You are, after all, Queen Victoria, they would be so foolish to pass up on this opportunity. They are obviously in need of real talent. <br /><br />Anyès<br />XXAnyes K.

Is there no integrity? I guess one only has to look at our politicians and leader to see a lack of integrity. It seems power / money is the root of all evil. If you have something good, someone will take it from you. It has happened to me more times than I care to remember. Only once by a magazine. Copyright law dosen't protect, the lawyers win there. So only thing is know that the thief will also be stolen from, as everything that goes around comes around. Then, one forgives and moves on. They will have to answer for it at the pearly gates, that is how I handel it. Your post was much, much better Pam, and I will be less likely to buy this mag in the future. Seems you are handeling it with maturity. You are not alone.<br />Integrity is a hard thing to learn...wonder if they teach it in school these days...<br />Think I will try your cleaning ideas soon. Spring is approaching, I think. It has been a winter that dosen't want to give up the snow.<br />Think good thoughts, thanks for listening.<br />♥<br />MarcieThe Rustic Victorianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11061053386942991282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2250953785318479931.post-29709965916529379642011-01-21T18:44:52.877-06:002011-01-21T18:44:52.877-06:00Hi Richard-
