Boycott a site that stole a design from a Mompreneur!!

Hello everyone! I wanted to spread the word on this one. Trisha has become a great friend through the blogging community, not just as someone I respect, but someone whom I think is a truely good person. She started Bambina Ballerina and has amazing products. I visit her blog everyday, and this is what I found on there today. Please help support moms who work hard to create something original and have people stealing their ideas.

***************************************************************************************

There will always be healthy competition out there in the boutique and designing world, but I wanted to tell you about something blantanly disgusting as far as copying someones idea.

I dropship my product for a lot of websites, meaning that they sell it for me, and I create and ship. Recently I went to one of my past dropshippers to check up. I had to take down my stuff because of a fire a few months ago, so I couldnt dropship. I wanted to let her know that I was back up again.

Guess what I find?

She has recreated, to the exact dimensions, my product and design and is selling it as her own. Not only is this tacky, it should never be accepted in the community of boutiques.

Come up with your OWN design, your OWN ideas.

Look at this very, very POORLY constructed ”hairbow holder” from my stolen design

Lets see…bodice shape..check, ribbon on the back..check…bows on the front..check..ribbons around the middle..check….criss cross on the bodice..yep, got that too.

The only thing she doesnt have is class, respect, her own idea, theme, and lets not forget, a product anyone would want to hang in their home.

One thing my dad taught me..if your gonna take someones idea, make sure you do it BETTER then they do. I would not let this hang in a boutique, much less in my daughters room.

BOYCOTT STEALERS LIKE TUTUGLAMOROUS.com

Instead, if you want a quality, beautiful product that is original, amazing, and full of detail, not a cheap knock off, go directly to http://www.bambinaballerina.com/ where I specialize in handmade gorgeous products day in and day out for your Princess.

Monday ramblings

Hello..

I am around again. I wrote this huge babbling e-mail to Crystal and I thought I should write everyone else on here.

I’m thinking about opening an online business. Yep… because I need more on my plate, I need more money.. I NEED to be home with my kids. I miss my little girls, I miss taking them to the park and singing to them. I miss nap time and waking up to a baby cooing to me. I miss the “Mommy” calls from the bedroom when Issa is awake. I miss bathtime when lunch was too messy. I miss going to the pool with them and letting them play in the cooling waters. I need this, now I just have to STOP talking my brain out of it! We are our worst enemy, and I’m proving that daily!

I keep jumping back and forth on dating. I think I will NOT do it for a while. I’m still in love with Kris. I hate him, don’t get me wrong, he pisses me off, but I love him dearly. I see him all the time and I don’t think I’m ready to move on. How fair would it be to start dating someone, knowing full well that my heart is still broken?

Work is kicking my booty lately! No time to just play!

READ Gorgeously Green… Please Please… if this book doesn’t make you realize how dire it is that we pay attention to what we are putting into our bodies, then nothing will. We can be stronger, healthier and more radiant women, if we are more careful with what we do with ourselves. I am making the change, it only takes one week/month at a time… what would you be willing to change?
