About this Blog

A Big Thanks

First of all, thanks so much for visiting this blog. I do appreciate your visit.

I've received several comments. They made my day. I've already implemented some of your suggestions. Thank you so much. The comments were very nice and very reassuring. Thanks again.

My Blog Policy

Before I describe this service, I want to let you know that I manually choose the freebies based on the picture that I find. I reject several freebies whenever I think the picture is not appropriate (the question I ask myself is: would I like my children to see this? If the answer is may be or no, I do not publish it). After classifying them, I double check the pictures again, to make sure I did not "hit the enter button" by accident. However, it might happen that the blog that a selected "freebie" goes to, is not appropriate. If this happen, PLEASE LET ME KNOW!!! I will check and remove the freebie IMMEDIATELY, and remove the blog from my list. This blog is supposed to be SAFE. Thanks so much. I do appreciate.

The Service

If you like what you see, please add me to your blog (see below for animators, or just add me to the blogs you enjoy list). Or, if you do not have a blog, mention in the "thank you" message where you found the freebie. This is the way blogs are propagated. If I feel that the service is not being enjoyed, I might stop doing.

It is somewhat labor intensive... There is an automated part, but there is a manual part. I select every single freebie, and classify every single freebie that you see displayed in this blog. Because of the time it takes, I usually do not go over all the blogs I have in my list. However, most likely blogs will be checked at least once a week. Processes are in place to make the classification more efficient, but it still takes time (and I LOVE to see all the amazing work that is out there! ).

The Links

All the links take you choose, takes you to the actual blog, and not to the server where you get the freebie. Please, remember to leave some love for those who are making the freebies. It takes a lot of time and work to make them!

If you have a blog that offers Digital Scrapbooking freebies, and you do not see any of your freebies mentioned here, and you want me to add to the blog list I search, please leave a comment, including your blog url. I will add it to my blog list as soon as I can. If your freebie is mentioned here, I thank you for making that freebie available: I know it is hard work. You are always welcome to leave a comment.

To Remove a Blog

If I am displaying the freebie from your blog, and you want it removed, please leave a comment. Please, start the comment with something like "REMOVE THE BLOG", and let me know the url of your site/blog. I will remove your freebie image as soon as possible. I will also remove your site/blog from the my search list. Once I remove your blog from my list, please do not request to put it back.

Regarding What you See

If the picture depicted does not correspond to the freebie, well... there are several reasons. I will keep trying to improve the "intelligence" behind getting the right picture-right freebie match. But, it is not a manual process, and I will not do it manually.

There are several reasons you might not see all the freebies you offer depicted here. For instance, I might have not "reach" your blog that day, the software cannot recognize that your blog might have a freebie, the picture the software recognized I could not categorize. I will be working in some of the issues, but it will take time. (In the meantime, if you want, you might consider looking at some of the blogs that I can capture their freebies). I apologize, but there are time constraints, and "wrist" constraints.


I hope you enjoy!
