ADVISORY!!!!

If there is only one thing that you read on my blog and spread around, please let it be this.

There is another person out there using my nickname: LuvinCreations. Her name is Bella, and she owns a group on Yahoo called "Creative Memories". Let me reiterate, this is NOT me!

All variations that I use: LuvinCreations, Luvin'Creations, Luvin' Creations, MissLuvz, LC

All tags that I create follow a similar format for filenames: lc12_artist-tutorial_name
Although this may not be exact, it's similar for every tag that I have made or will make in future. Also you will find somewhere on my tags: LC'12

The 12 is just the year that I created the tag in. If I have to include hidden blurps in my tags in future, such as a watermark, I will do so just to avoid this trouble. In the future, from this date forth, any and every graphic that I make will have "image information" in it. This is not removed when saved, no matter how many thousands and millions of times something is saved.

I have been copyright compliant 100% since 2003 (just after my best-friend Bobbie passed away), at least a year before she created her group on Yahoo!.
Some may have a bit to say about becoming CC and not always being so, but you show me a single person who has been playing with graphics as long as I have, who has no stains on them. You won't, so shush about it. Be glad I have become so and learned and grown.

Anyway, my point is this: If you want to be ensured it was created by ME and not this person who wouldn't know anything about copyright if it up and slapped her in the face, CONTACT ME. I don't want to forget to check an email account for a few months, or years and end up dealing with over 3 hours of reading and replies to emails. I do not have the time for it, with work, school (going to 2 colleges) and family. I have enough on my plate that I don't want to deal with bullshit like this.

To those who emailed me that claim to know me, SHAME ON YOU! How could you claim to know me, and send me shit like that? I will be the bigger person in this and won't broadcast the people's names and some of the horrible things they had to say about me, I will leave it at this... You are horrible people who should look at themselves and their own lives before degrading me.

(I apologize for the viciousness of this post, but I needed to get this information out. I can be a massive bitch, and very cruel when provoked. In fact, I'm rather amazed at how KIND I was in this whole post and in the email replies that I made tonight.)

Reaching Out

I have noticed lately that a lot of the old PSP tutorial writers, scrap kit makers and various other creators have given up on their sites.

I can understand the need to make room for new things, or just not having the time to maintain a blog or site anymore, or just the lack of funds to do so (for those who were paying to do so). So I am making this offer to anyone who would like to take me up on it. If you would like me to host your pages and files on my site, I will do so. You just need to contact me.

I am doing this for many reasons, the biggest being, I hate seeing the resources that were once available and used in tutorials being lost and no longer available. These creations are all a piece of history, and have taught many people new and creative things.

Each person that wants me to host their items will get their own subdomain, and they don't have to do anything other than point me to their files or send me the files they need hosted. In an email, make sure that you state clearly that you are giving me permission to host your items. I do not and will not claim anything as my own, ever.

You can contact me by email at miss.luvz[@]gmail.com or on yahoo messenger (missluvz05).

Please don't let your hard work fall into the ether. There are so many wonderful things out there that it would be a shame to lose it all no matter what the reason!
