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 :) ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()

"Fairy lights twinkle in the trees nearby.
Excited eyes sparkle and spirits are high.
Across the rink, the skaters twist and twirl;
On ice, their skates create an ornate swirl."

"Whooshing down the hillside fast,
Trees and people blurring past,
Runners carving out the snow,
Like an astronaut I go.
Blasting into outer space,
Rocketing at record pace,
Through the stratosphere I fly;
I’m commander of the sky!
Won’t return to Earth until . . .
I reach the bottom of the hill.
~ A poem by Elaine Magliaro
I have wonderful childhood memories
of sledding down the hill at one of
our local parks. We have received
a beautiful blanket of snow overnight,
and how I wish I could go back in time
and experience one of those winter
afternoons when I would "carve out the
snow," and then gather with my friends,
in a warm kitchen where we were served
hot chocolate (mine was white chocolate)
and cinnamon toast by my sweet grandma.
I guess I am nostalgic with a new year
fast approaching. lol I hope you
too have some dear memories to "warm"
you today...whatever your weather.
Hugs, Rita
