I guess once you put what you have put your creations online I don't think there's any way to prevent from having your ideas stolen which is sad.<br /><br /> I pin other people's creations but if I ever "copy" everything it's always with my own twist to it just like you did! I don't think there will EVER be an answer that will please everyone!

This was truly a great post and thought there would be so many comments. Everyone must be pinning today! Love 2012 for the extra texture in the frame and table top, it pops so much more. My own take is that sometimes there is way too much inspiration on the internet, the social media sites. It is then that I need fresh air/space and quiet time to clear my head and mind and find my own essence again. Like all of life, Pinterest is just another outlet or escape. It can be positve or negative and it is up to each of us to decide what fills our minds/hearts and souls and overflows to others.

I can recognize your home on Pinterest (without watermarks, etc. because it is you, your "voice", your fingerprints slapped all over it.<br />Trying on someone's style is just like trying on a bra. If it's uncomfortable and ill-fitting...we just don't buy it. Worse yet, is stuffing it with kleenex trying to make it fit and then pass it off as ours.
