Hi Brenda! I can't blame you for being "underwhelmed" at the lifting of your photos (your property) from your website! I looked at the blog again, and did not see your bobbins... maybe someone has already gotten the message. On the other hand, you WERE in excellent company, because at the very bottom of the page on the left-hand side, is a control for... either a video or music. I clicked it (trusting foolishly that my computer is protected - ) and lo and behold I'm listening to a bit of music by Eric Clapton. And I seriously doubt that the person who put that blog together had permission from Clapton to use his work - especially without attribution.
Their logic is obvious, however - only steal from the best!!
