Many people are unaware of what is "theft" of graphics. Many people do not understand the difference between what is allowed to be done with graphics and what is not. Here are some basic out lines of what you can and can not do with graphics on the net: Uploading graphics from one Graphics site to any other Graphics sites, is considered redistributing. Redistributing graphics with out the artist permission is STEALING! Photo Bucket is NOT Public Domain and many of the graphics there are there without the artists permission. Many people do not realize that they should set their albums to PRIVATE to keep their Pictures and graphics from being stolen. Many do not realize that if they are collecting graphics they like in their albums they are also allowing those graphics to be stolen if their album is not set to PRIVATE. That is very unfair the the artists of those graphics because many people do not realize that PHOTO BUCKET and site like it are NOT PUBLIC DOMAIN. Photo Bucket is NOT a good place to get graphic resources (graphics you can use to make graphics or layouts). If you use graphics from Photo Bucket chances are that you are stealing somebody's hard work, or Personal Pictures. If you are using graphic creation sites such as Blingee or Imikimi to "make" graphics even if you crop off the site name, it is stealing if you redistribute them by uploading those graphics to other Graphic sites. Those site are for making PERSONAL graphics for use on PRIVATE sites such a family web pages, memorial sites ect. only. DO NOT use graphics found on Glitter-Graphics to "make" graphics or layouts, it is STEALING and against the TOU (terms of use)of the site. PERSONAL USE ONLY means you can use the graphics to decorate and send to friends on personal sites such as here on GG, MYSPACE, Private Family web sites and private memorial sites. Taking a graphic and "altering" it (adding a background, frame, wording or covering over parts such as the signature tag) does not make that graphic yours, it is still stolen unless you have gotten permission from the original artist to use the graphic. Do Not use any art that you do not know who the artist is or where it is from, and always give credit the the artist who's work you use. There are many sites on the net that provide resource artwork for making graphics. Make sur to always follow each artists ToU. Thank You to all of my friends that have made me these wonderful graphics! I download and save EVERY graphic made for me. I have a huge amount of computer storage space :)

May bring no tear to any eye.
When this New Year in time shall end,
Let it be said I've played the friend,
Have lived and loved and labored here,
And made of it a happy year.'

Happy Christmas Eve dear friend,
Hope you've got everything done
that you need to for the BIG
celebration tomorrow,
I still have a few last
minute preparations to finish,
then I can kick back & enjoy
the day :)
And hope that through the hustle & bustle of the season,
we remember to keep CHRIST
in CHRISTmas, for afterall if it
wasn't for our Lord & Saviour
Jesus Christ, there would be
no christmas to celebrate :)
And what a free gift he offers to all of us,
it is the gift of salvation, do you know him
in a personal way, if not & you'd like too,
just pray this prayer, dear Jesus,
I know I'm a sinner & believed
you died on the cross for me
& shed your blood for my sins,
come into my heart & save me
I pray, in Jesus name, Amen :)
It's the best gift you could ever
recieve this christmas,
if you said that prayer & meant it,
then you are part of the family of God :)
And if your already saved,
then praise the Lord my
fellow servant in Christ :)
I pray you seek him by reading his word,
the holy bible (King James Version), if you don't already,
so that you may have a closer walk with him,
as I strive everyday to know him better :)
Merry Christmas :)
Hugs,
P.S. That comment was not planned,
once I started, it just flowed out
from there, that's God working
in & through me, Praise be to his name,
for he alone is worthy :)

"Christmas is forever, not for just one day,
for loving, sharing, giving, are not to put away
like bells and lights and tinsel, in some box upon a shelf.
The good you do for others is good you do yourself."
~ Norman Wesley Brooks, "Let Every Day Be Christmas"
Siabhra,
May you have the gladness of Christmas which is hope;
The spirit of Christmas which is peace;
The heart of Christmas which is love.
Blessings, Rita

Thank you so much for the beautiful comment... I truly appreciate your kindness. I was so worried about you because I didn't know how you were feeling...I kept you in my prayers though, because I know this is a sad time for you, and I wanted to give you some encouragement during this holiday season...God will be with you and see you through it. Just keep your faith strong in him, and you will make it through.
