The Quiet

I am a quiet person. Sometimes that quietness is mistaken for passivity, for submissiveness, but it is more of a live and let live attitude that I have most of the time. Don't you wish more people would live like that?

 I really have nothing else  to say right now other than if you like burlap (I don't) here is a wonderful site with all sorts of colors of burlap already dyed for you! I especially like the pink (not really) but if you do well there it is all ready for you to use in all of your home decor ;)

  2. FOR THE QUIET ONE: Get a life. Who the heck cares if you like burlap or not. Get on with your own life and stay outta other people's business. WhY don't you heed to your own words.....that live and let live attitude. I wish YOU would live that way.

  3. So how is this post offensive to you? You obviously were upset by it for some reason. Most people would just read and wonder what the heck it was about. I live and let live dear. You should stop trying to start the drama.

  4. You both realize how old this post is right? I posted this over a month ago. Hmm seems like somebody is bored.

    ReplyDelete
  5. talk about bored.....you must have been bored to even have made the original post. and its offensive to me because you are hating on someone. haters....sux.

  6. And I moved on a long time ago you know. Over a month ago by the date on this post but it is obviously something that you can't move on from. LOL This doesn't bother me one bit that you posted it on your facebook page. Such trivial things from people that have nothing better to do.

  7. There are much more offensive things in this world than little old me posting about not liking burlap.

    ReplyDelete
  8. Oh and just to point out that you are hatin' on me right now so that really makes you a hater too.

    ReplyDelete
  9. Wendy...this is tia and you know exactly what you are doing. The reason that I am just seeing this now is that I never go to your blog. I have no reason to and by the number of your followers, not many others do, as well. It's funny that you posted this right at the same time I posted my pink burlap charms and wreath. I and everyone else know exactly what you are doing. You can deny it all you want but we know the truth. And you must stalk my fan page just like so many because you were so quick to comment. I love that so very much. Have a great day!

    ReplyDelete
  10. Yes I knew exactly what I was doing when I posted that. It doesn't bother me one bit. And I don't stalk your facebook page. I only went there after the first comment was made to see why so many people were viewing my blog. You're right. I don't have many followers and I really don't care about that. This is not a place that I use to show how popular I am. I don't need that. I don't need to feel like everybody loves me to have some self worth about myself.

    ReplyDelete
  11. Yes, of course it doesn't bother you. Not surprised. You lack a heart and a soul. Very cruel nasty person. Have fun with that ;)

    ReplyDelete
  12. Oh and I am quite sure you were here before. I use a lovely little program that tells me where people live that visit my blog and wouldn't you know it that I've gotten hits from the area that you live in. In fact from the time I started my blog until now I've gotten the most hits from virginia than any other state in the country besides my state. Seems like a coincidence that I'm getting a lot of hits from that area today too.

    ReplyDelete
  13. OMG! I am laughing hysterically! You have some serious "single white female issues". Trust me, if I would have seen this in the past 4 weeks, I would have commented then. Everyone that knows me knows that to be true. I wouldn't have waited all these weeks. Keep having fun with it ;)

    ReplyDelete
  14. Oh honey you're puttin' on the damage control saying I have serious stalking issues. You know I don't care what people (especially people that like you) think about me.

    And it seems you're the one who is having fun with it on your facebook page. So YOU keep having fun with it. Like I said it doesn't bother me.

    ReplyDelete
  15. I find this unbelievably comical. Actually, I am the one who found this post today and if you really used your little program, you would see that I am not anywhere close to VA. You'd see I'm further south than that so I don't believe that for a second. So, what was the purpose of this post, really? It seems to me that you need to do some soul searching and find yourself. Had you ewe taken te time to et to know Tia and who she is, you would find that she has a heart of gold. I've never come across someone so closed minded and deceitful. I hope you hVe found some clarity in this post.

    ReplyDelete
  16. Oh well I wasn't talking about just today. I was talking about since I started my blog which was only a few months ago. She said she never comes here but she does. She just won't admit it.

    I only know Tia through the internet and email and what I see on here is how I have to form my opinion. I don't see a heart of gold. I see lots of lies to cover tracks to the truth. Also the nasty phone message she left me a few months back tells me that she is the one that needs to search her soul.

    ReplyDelete
  17. Who gives a good gosh darn who comes to your blog!? That's why you have it, right? For people to look at??! You really need to get over yourself. This is the biggest bunch of ignorance from someone who claims to be a mature business person. You opened up This can of worms...once again! Apparently you are diseased with boredome! Grow up! Seriously! Get over yourself!

    ReplyDelete
  18. I am so over myself. How about you get over myself too and stop posting here? Talk about the pot calling the kettle black.

    ReplyDelete
  19. Thank you for sharing about the burlap. I am so sorry you have to deal with such nasty people.

    ReplyDelete
  20. I can see how ugly that person is making comments and you know it is ONE person making all the comments. Looks like you have a crazy person stalking your blog. Crazy is an understatement maybe they should go back to school to learn how to spell! LMAO

    ReplyDelete
  21. Actually I do know how to spell, it was my crazy Iphone that I was on and I damn sure wasn't wasting any more of my battery on your dumbasses. And, yes it was me that was just that one person. And, no, We are not crazy. Don't you think that if we stalked this blog, we would have commented over a month ago?! Seriously, you women need to grow up!!! Please find something better to do with your time....like maybe make some butterfly wings to match your straight jacket! You are by far the most ignorant person I've ever come in contact with!!!! Maybe someone needs to go back to school and learn manners!!! You will crash and burn one day for being so mean and ugly and I can't wait to stand aside and LMAO!! Now,you wanna throw stones, I'll throw back!!! Let it go already. "Live and let Live" Immaturity and bullying will get you nowhere in life!!

    ReplyDelete
  22. And for the record, the comments that Tia made, she made them under her blog name. And, if you use your little "tool" that tells you where the hits came from, you will see that it's coming from somewhere else but I am pretty sure you don't have that little tool b/c that was just a lie like everything else you say!

    ReplyDelete
  23. Google analytics is the tool. You can use it on any page to track views and who is coming in and out of your blog or etsy shop. Google it and you will see that I am not a liar :)

    How is it that a post on a tiny blog with no followers is getting so much attention? Why is it even worth anybody's time? You are calling me crazy but I spent a whole 3 minutes posting that post a month and a half ago but these comments have been going on all day. You are putting so much energy into something so trivial and if that isn't crazy and hypocritical I don't know what is.

    And I am still not getting how the post I made was bullying but if you think it is then you are doing the same exact thing on a bigger scale. It is so sad that you can't see what you are doing is exactly what you accuse me of doing and that, my dear, is what is laughable here.

    Yes I see you are just defending yourself against a person that never even named you as the inspiration of the post. So was there really a need to defend yourself if I have barely any followers and your name wasn't used. People wouldn't even know about it if you didn't post it on your fan page.

    And if you didn't stalk the blog before you sure are doing it now ;)

    ReplyDelete
  24. Wendy,
    That post was your way of communicating with Tia. Nobody is bullying you at all. I just think that you can't let things go, so that's why you posted that. You just posted it to see how long it would take for someone to see it and retaliate. Why did you post it if it had nothing to do with her? Nobody is stalking you either. You do have talent and you do make quite beautiful things and I'm sure that some times you can be a good person but you do not show that through this whole thing with Tia. I wish that you would show that live alet live attitude more often. Why can't you just leave well enough alone? I truly hope you can find peace and let it be. She actually forgave and forgot a long time ago. Tia knows she is a good person and she has a lot of great people in her life that knows that as well. She has an extremely busy life and really could care less about you at this point. And when I told her today about that post, is when she got upset. It was so obvious that was geared toward her. I am done here. You have nothing nice to say at all and I do not associate myself with close minded people. Have a good day and have a good life. I hope that one day you mature and realize you are not being a good person.

  25. your google analytics may NOT be working quite well today as i am a very early commenter on this post and i don't live anywhere near VA or even south of VA.....google analytics would tell you way west of VA.

    why don't you just tend to your business venture and let tia tend to her's. there was absolutely no common sense in you posting that initial blog about burlap....the only reason you did it was to make some DA dig at tia. gosh....the insanity of this blog all started with HouseThatCrowBuilt. and that's all it is...insanity.

    ReplyDelete
  26. that's it...i'm done......better things to do....like watch the NCAA tournament. Way to go Butler and keep on plugging away BYU.

    ReplyDelete
  27. The post I made was about Tia but I was just letting off steam. When she left that false negative feedback well I never really defended myself did I? I left her feedback that got removed only because it had other shop links and a personal name in it which is against etsy Terms of Use (look it up) I didn't know that at the time or that feedback would still be there.

    A month after that I made a post here to blow off a little steam about the whole situation and give myself closure. It was not a totally public bashing of her like she does with me by posting my name on her fan page and such. Just a tiny dig that no one probably would ever see and then I moved on from it.

    I see Tia can twist words and do damage control and that is fine. She can call names to re-focus the attention from her own immaturity. She can tell me to stuff my fat mouth with oreos and snickers all she wants. It is so very JR. high but she needs to realize that she and her fans are acting the same way.

    And the funny thing about it, sarah, is that you are her whipping girl. Her go to girl when she needs someone to speak for her but wants to pretend that she isn't puppeteering the whole thing. When she wants to pretend that she is ignoring the whole thing and "moving on" when she can't let a tiny little post on my tiny pathetic blog drop.

  28. Wendy how can one person have so many issues with so many people. I just looked at this persons Facebook and I see this is a common occurrence with this gal! All I can say is don't waste your time on such a dishonest person. I can tell she is not a truthful person! She leaves a bad taste in my mouth!

    ReplyDelete
  29. I was trying to post but dont think it came across what is so interesting at the end of the day TIA is standing behind a "CAUSE" which is her ploy to make her self feel better! I agree with everything you are saying she is very HATEFUL and funny that the things she is saying they are really all about her!!!

    ReplyDelete
  30. She is trying making her self feel better by posting to her friends to make her feel sorry for her when if they knew behind closed doors what she says to other people they would be appalled! They just know the TIA that she is trying to portray and believe me its not PRETTY!

    ReplyDelete
  31. honestly, this is what Tia wrote.... "ugly"....have you seen me" now does this tell you anything? I am headed to church to pray about all of this.....this girl and her Sarah have nothing better to do than play the pitty poor me card! Everyone has had hard lives she isnt the only one! Its just such a wonder when one person can stir up soo much drama! Let her keep posting these things on HER FAN page for her 2000 people to see because if people are like me I have taken her off because HONESTLY I am sick of reading about it and person I think she brings this all upon herself!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  32. Wendy,
    You and your "friends" on here are talking all kinds of crap on here about tia and her friend and how they have issues and such but it seems that you and yours are doing the same thing. You keep talking about how she can't let it go yet you can't either.. So, why are you trying to make yourself look innocent here when you're just as guilty??!!! Wow, You say it's all Jr. High from them but you're doing the same damn thing. What the heck???!!!! If I were you, I would delete this whole doggone post. This is absolutely ridiclulous and absurd! I've never seen women act so cruel. I think everyone needs to re-evaluate themselves here. I think everyone should go to church and pray about this because at the end of the day, you all have families, you all have good hearts (somewhere inside there) and there is no reason to bash one another. So, ALL OF YOU need to grow up and stop bashing one another. And, another thing, would you say this stuff to her if you were right in front of her??? Or on the phone with her??? Probably not. You are all saying nasty things because you don't have to show your face. Now that's called being a coward.

    ReplyDelete
  33. This is Tia and I don't need to have anyone speak for me or post anonymously. I have nothing to hide. Wendy, I have let it go. YOu are cruel and there is no sense in that. Yes, I spoke out of anger. It doesn't make me a bad person...it makes me human. I have done nothing on my fan page to show that I am a liar. If you up there don't like what I do with my "cause" then don't bother with me. Why would you? And to bring that up is pretty low. You don't know the first thing about me. God is my vindicator and should be yours, too. Wendy, this is the second time you have done this to me and it needs to stop. I'm not doing this to you. It is rude and uncalled for. And as for being "pretty" I too know what has gone on behind closed doors and there is no way that you and your little friends (and I know who they are ;) ) can look in the mirror and call yourself pretty. It's in black and white baby. I wish you the best but I will tell you if you do this sort of thing to me again, there will be ramifications that are beyond me. It is truly rude and uncalled for. Good luck to you.

  34. Oh, and I'm bringing this on myself? I'm not the one who has made 2 posts on my blog about this. I've not said a word or done anything to anyone. This post is ridiculous and it doesn't even pertain to Wendy's jewelry. I'm not an ugly person nor am I a beauty queen. It's just not nice to be called that. Let it go and move on. I have more people who know me than those who don't know me and only speak out of ignorance. This is my last time to come to this blog so go ahead and comment and post whatever you want. I will keep on truckin' and doing great!

    ReplyDelete
  35. Wendy she is a very UGLY person inside! I cannot believe one person has so much hate! When someone has to dote on themselves that is a red flag. You hit the nail on the head with this one! Oh I would be scared of her ramifications is she going to tell you to eat another snickers bar? LMAO

    ReplyDelete
  36. Well since this is my blog I am going to have the last word here. I do have two posts here about some thing that you have done to me but I never attached your name to it. I never defamed you here. I'm sure only the people that would know what those posts mean were the people you chose to talk to about the situation. But when I posted those posts I needed to vent about the situation. People vent frustrations all the time on their blogs.

    I see you have deleted what you posted on your fanpage. You may not have posted things on your blog but you have posted plenty about me on your 2000+ fans fanpage and then you delete once people start telling you to take the high road. Hmm I wonder how many posts here you would delete if you were able to. I can tell you this I will never delete anything here because I want people to see how I handle the situation with you and your friends' comments and then I want people to see how you treat other people that just happen to post a tiny vague post on their insignificant blog about a situation and experience that was frustrating and awful.

    I understand your personal cause. I never said anything about your cause. Some anonymous person said something about it and they are entitled to their opinion.

    And when you were posting this post to your fanpage I think your focus from your cause was a little hazy there.

    And since this is MY blog I will comment and post whatever I want. I don't need your permission to do anything.

    ReplyDelete
  37. Funny she took the link down so her 2000plus could not see the stuff she is posting!!! Girls really at the end of the day she is not worth it I have completely removed her from my Facebook and life. I truly only go on there when I need a good laugh! Live is too short and she and others like her will get what she has coming to her!!! Most people that have these businesses have them to supplement their income. If a person comes up with a cool
    Idea and they post it because they want to sell it and make money and someone (Tia) comes along and copies it ... It sucks!!! Nothing anyone can do about it but move on. It is harder to be original and simple to copy someones hard work!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  38. Reading this is so sad. You all are giving us stay at home creative moms, with businesses a bad name! And in front of your customers no less! If you have a beef with someone, why can't you email them privately? Why all over the Internet on your blogs and FB??!! If you attack someone, human nature is to defend yourself, so send an email! We all have our own customers, most of us live in different parts of the country! There are plenty of customers out there so leave the whole copying thing alone. Last time I checked, no one had a copyright on different shapes of glass! We should celebrate our creativeness and support each other as women! It looks to me like this is more jealousy than anything. So maybe stop looking at each others blogs/FB pages if you can't handle seeing someone else succeed! Focus on your own business and your own customers. Jealousy will rob you of your peace and creativity! The attacking of each other was nasty...so hateful. I was most taken back by the comment that Tia was hiding behind her cause! I gasped when I read that! Seriously ladies, I'm sure most of you are moms, I for one CANNOT imagine what it would be like to have one of my precious children afflicted with diabetes!! I have a girlfriend who's 4 year old was recently diagnosed and she is living in hell right now! Whoever wrote that should be ashamed!!

    ReplyDelete
  39. Wendy

    I have removed her from my Facebook. I have seen her negativity go on way too long and she will not have any support here! I am sorry you have had to deal with people like this. How childish she is coming on here and saying that you have no right to voice your opinion!

    I was a customer of hers and have purchased some jewelry thinking I was supporting a good cause! I will no longer view her page nor will I purchase anything else from her.

    Thank you for showing her true colors!

    ReplyDelete
  40. She is someone that loves to draw attention to herself!!! Does she really need to let everyone know how much she donates to diabetes, almost 100%??? right!!! Or how hard it is to have 5 kids??? She needs to get over heselg and quit spilling all your business to everyone, we do not care!!! She feels the need to post way too much on facebook to make people feel soory for her. Wendy, you keep your head up, you did nothing wrong!!!

    ReplyDelete
  41. OMG!!!!!! How old are all of you?

    ReplyDelete
  42. To the second to last person who commented: IF NO ONE CARES THEN WHY ARE YOU READING HER FB????!!!!!! Thought you didn't care!!!
    All of you are ridiculous!!

    And Wendy, I have been a supporter of yours for a long time but I am appalled that you are allowing this to go on on your blog!!!!

    I would be very ashamed to let people know that you are condoning other people to talk bad about someone on your own blog. I find it senseless and cannot believe someone like you allows this behavior. I thought you were above that..

    Wow, I am surprised and very disappointed. I thought you were all grown women?

    ReplyDelete
  43. I'm right there with this last person's comment. I have been a fan of yours on Etsy for a long time and have followed your treasuries but I am disgusted that you have not only done this once but you have done this twice now about this person. How can you be ok with that? And some of these comments are absurd like they really know this Tia person. I haven't been a fan for very long but long enough to know that she supports this cause and doesn't deserve to be degraged about it. So what if she shares a lot about herself. More people should be real like that. But Wendy, I have removed you from my Etsy circle and will not buy from you again. You have really outdone yourself this time and it is appalling.

    ReplyDelete
  44. Tia you are so good a posing as all these anonymous people or is it Sarah? Your whipping girl! LMAO

    ReplyDelete
  45. And talking bad about people on their blog? Take a look in the mirror TIA!

    ReplyDelete
  46. Has everybody seen the posts I posted on this blog about this person? They in no way say her name at all. But I have been mentioned at least twice with my shop name and everything on her fan page. Please don't come here and please don't purchase from me if you are appalled at my venting about a situation I was involved in that was very frustrating to me. Please don't post if you feel that the way I vented about that situation was way out of line. I really feel I was reasonable about but you each are entitled to your own opinion for sure and I encourage that. I just wish people would own up to their opinion and stop posting anonymously so I don't have to think it is Tia posting everything here.

    ReplyDelete
  47. OMG!!! This last one posting (before Wendy's) is sooooo nasty! Well, I will come fourth and say that my name is BrandyL from Texas and I posted about how sad I thought this was and about how taken back I was that one of you said Tia was hiding behind her son's diabetes! That is so heartless! So there you go, they weren't all Tia or Sarah posting anonymously! I only came fourth and posted because I have had to deal with crazy, jealous women with my business too and was just trying to tell you all that this behavior is awful.

    ReplyDelete
  48. And for the record I NEVER ONCE posted anything on your fan page. I would NEVER do that. And just because someone else does it that I may speak to every once in a while does not mean I would ever do it or condone it at all.

    I don't think you are hiding behind your cause. I never posted that. I think your cause is a great one. I totally understand it and I think that the act of donating is a wonderful thing. Plenty of people donate to causes. That doesn't automatically make them a saint though.

  49. ummm....i just posted on here about 15 min ago and for some reason the post has "vanished". anyway...GUILTY-i have posted anonymously (i.e. posts dated 3/19 @ 9:50 & 9:51 pm were my last 2). frankly the reason i posted anonymously is i don't have an id to select from the dropdown option...sorry. anyway, my name is susan and i live no where near tia....i live approx 1000 west of VA. I really don't believe tia has any whipping girl (or girls) posting comments on here. i think tia is probably one of only 2 ppl that are posting under a true id. this has just gone on too long and too far...don't y'all think there are more serious crises going on in this world today. let wendy go about tending to her business and let tia do the same. something was shared with me earlier today, so i'm thinking i'll share it (again) with all posters. So for whatever it is worth:

    People are often unreasonable, illogical and self-centered; FORGIVE THEM ANYWAY.
    If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives; BE KIND ANYWAY.
    If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true enemies; SUCCEED ANYWAY.
    What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight; BUILD ANYWAY.
    The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow; DO GOOD ANYWAY.
    If you find serenity and happiness,they may be jealous; BE HAPPY ANYWAY.
    Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough; GIVE THE WORLD THE BEST YOU'VE GOT ANYWAY.
    You see, in the final analysis, it is between you and God; IT WAS NEVER BETWEEN YOU AND THEM ANYWAY

    Peace out (and no more posts from me).

  50. Yes I received the comment in my email but for some reason it didn't show up here. Thanks for re-posting.

    ReplyDelete
  51. Tia has everyone fooled!!!! Let her defenders defend her who needs to post about how much money her husband makes etc??? There is no winning with this girl and her crew. This is a blog and a good spot to talk about things!!! What you guys arent seeing is that Tia has pissed people off all over the united states! She is not original, she steals other peoples ideas and calls them her own!!! The reason why people don't put there names on the post is she harasses people and by giving her your name gives her a target and she can't lash out at anyone! I love the way she has taken down all the drama and only leaves what makes her look good..... After she just wrote a novel
    About how she was going to leave it up for her 2000 plus to see!!!! Yes jd is a terrible thing but she brings all of this extra drama on herself and then she writes another novel about what she gives!!!!

  55. Let's see she has gone on mean people suck---- she should be talking about herself... Another forum for someone to feel sorry for her! But she posted under her own name ... Another thing hidden from her 2000plus fans!!!! I am done with all of this she is just simply crazy!!!

    ReplyDelete
  56. Whoever you are above, I'm on here because the subject just so happens to be about me. I didn't mean to use the word "swear" in a bad way. Probably was a bad choice of word. I guess they shouldn't say it in a court of law either. So I do apologize about that. I have not been posting anonymously at all. That's all. But I think it's funny you all act like you know me so well and bash me and even go to my page to see what I am writing so you can put it back on here but can't address me. That's called a coward. And you take every single word I say and twist it to feed your own fire to make it what you want it to be. Someone said that I hide behind my cause which is a horrible thing to say to anyone. And that I do this to supplement our income. I answered that. What I"m saying is that I don't need to tell anyone what our family makes but you all have no idea yet you act like you do! And by me saying that I donate nearly 100% of my sales to the JDRF is a great thing. Most people do these businesses for their own personal gain. I don't. Heck, I'd go live on the streets if I had to if it meant I could heal my son. No amount of money or anything means a darn thing to me. But you all have taken something positive and twist it to make it the way you want to make it. And you all say you shy away from the negativity yet you are constantly feeding it. Wendy, I think you have a great talent and I really like your new stuff. But please in the future if you feel the need to bash me, would you please have the decency to call or email me? I would greatly appreciat that. Oh, and this is Tia.

  57. Within 5 minutes she went back to mean people suck and corrected it.. Don't you have 5 children to take care of???? You are commenting like every 5 minutes maybe you should heed your husbands advice and get out of this crazy business!!!! Then people are free to create and post on Facebook and know there is one less copier in this business!!!

    ReplyDelete
  58. Tia you can only think back to all the people you have attacked in the last year maybe should should apologize to all of them and be sincere and then maybe people would give you a break!!! But you don't think before you speak it you want it you involve others and create a huge tornado and then think just a simple I am sorry is good enough!!!! You know nothing about the people that you steal from!!!! You did not know that maybe I was on the street and I
    Worked hard to make something and then you come around and say ok well I want that at any cost!!!!! It's my livelihood not yours... You need tontake time and reflection to your past and the people you have burned
    And maybe that can start your healing process!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  59. So, to everyone up there that is sitting here and saying that she is crazy and how you are done with this...blah blah blah, why do you keep posting? If you are so done, why do you feel the need to talk more about the situations? Why is it that Wendy can't even get a single comment for her beautiful designs on here and her hard work, yet she can get 50 some comments on negativity and drama???!!! I think everyone is guilty here. Don't ya think? Apparently everyone is overcome with all the drama. I don't get any of you whatsoever! It's a shame that it takes negative drama to bring you people out of the woodwork. And, I too do not have a google account or I would proudly post my picture for you to all see. This is ridiculous!! When does this stop???? I pray that each and every one of you develops a true understanding of what's going on here and whoever posted earlier about letting this go on on your blog is right. I wouldn't want people to know that I allow such drama to take place on my blog.

  60. My children are in bed. I like how you above make these comments about copying but why don't you point out all the unique things that I have done which is more so than anything that I have so called copy. I have said things out of anger but I am not perfect at all. None of us are. I know I have hurt others and I also know that I have been hurt more times to count. It goes both ways. I have been sincere to those few that I've had a falling out with and you know what? All of them but one are now back in my life and it's better than ever. What does that tell you? I am not trying to gain pity or sympathy but you all act like I'm a horrible person. YOu have no idea what has been done to me and no, I haven't shared it on FB. Only my closest friends know. And since you seem to know so much about me and seem to be so enamored with this, then I would be more than happy to discuss this with you like two adults. Good night.

  61. One question to all of you!!! Since nobody ever ever ever ever mentioned who this post was initially about, how is it that soooo many of you know who's fb fanpage to go look at? Hmmmmm.....that tells me that there's only a certain few people that this could be.....

    Wendy is right...she never said who it was that she was talking about. I find this very interesting. Wow, you people don't hide things very well.

  62. To Tracey above Tia posted this on her FB for everyone to see. Maybe you should get all the information correct!

  63. No Tia I have no idea what has been done to you with the other people that you have had a falling out with. I only know what I have done which was to stop responding to your emails about a few designs of my own and glass that I agreed to cut for you. To stop responding to you was my own personal decision and I should've been more mature enough to talk to you about my concerns and the fact that I didn't like helping you with the copying of other artist's work anymore. But I don't like confrontation and I just felt like if I ignored you you would go away. I was definitely wrong about that and the public negative false feedback you left for me on etsy was wrong and you know it. I was angry about it and posted 2 posts to vent. ONLY 2 posts and neither of them named you at all. I feel like I am being so redundant here because that is all this is really about. I don't know what else is going on or your history with these other people and I really don't care at this point either.

    I do feel bad that this is going on on my blog but I won't erase comments. I feel like I have told my side of the story here that not very many people have gotten to hear from me. I feel like the story that a lot of these people from your fan page have heard is one that is filled with embellishments to make me look awful.

    And the comments about thin mints are digs about my weight. I feel like the message you left that I should shut my fat mouth and shove more oreo's and snickers in there was about the way I look. I don't really know how this figures into anything other than it makes you feel better about your own self. Yes you are lovely on the outside Tia but it is the inside that needs some work.

  65. I am a outsider looking in (of course I don’t have all the facts... but enough...I am sure someone else can fill in the blanks) but can possibly fill in the facts for these people that would like to know what is going on. Let me EXPRESS THAT I AM A FRIEND of someone that Tia has copied.
    HH has a product that she made and HTCB cuts the glass. CC takes the product of HH and asks HTCB to cut the glass so that she can COPY HH’s product. Of course being the UPSTANDING person that HTCB is she contacts HH and tells her that CC is trying to copy her designs. So of course, that makes HH question CC why and then the ugliness starts. The emails, ugly messages, nasty posting went on and on if you are reading this then you know! It was on her page but she deleted. CC was relentless in her bashing of others when she was the at fault party. READ THIS PEOPLE THIS IS IT – CC wanted HTCB to copy what HH made. This is it … she cant be original!! So time passes a few months go by and CC gets her eye on MetalL well she decided to copy something from them and not only did she send the same nasty emails posts and blogs that she did before she involved her metal cutters. Because she is going to be right regardless she wants to prove that a copyrighted item can be used if you put your own “SPIN ON IT” her words! Once confronted CC did the same. She took MetalL’s item to her cutter and copied it exactly. There are others we have heard it’s a small word and facebook connects people in ways that you would not believe. So POINT being CC could avoid all this drama if she would just mind her own business and not copy others. I would be happy to ask these three companies that I know personally and get the saved emails that she blasted to them so that the world can see what she says to other companies behind closed doors!!!!

  66. Hey, to the last person up there, this is now Sarah. I have not posted on this stupid blog since yesterday. you really need to grow up and get a life. I have absolutely nothing to say to any of you!!! The only person I have anything to say to is Wendy and I have done just that. I don't need to do any damage control. All of you are only saying these stupid, pathetic things becuse you are masked. You have something to hide behind. I would bet my last dollar that none of you, absolutely none of you would ever say these things to our face. This has to be the most immature thing I have ever come accross. I hope all of you feel better about yourself. I know that I'm a good person and I treat my friends and family with respect and that's all i need. Step back and ask yourself if you are acting like a mature adult and would you want your kids to ever treat people this way??? I can bet that the answer is no.

  67. To the outsider looking in.......you have it just a little twisted. You should probably get all the facts straight first. Some of it you have correct but some of it you do not!!!!! CC had issues with HH waaayyyyy before any of this happened. This is so stupid.

  68. And, to the person up there that commented about Tia posting this on her fb......obviously you all aren't "fans" of hers...right? So, still the question remains.

  69. Funny if you have nothing to say why do you say?

  70. TWISTED??

    Really, facts are listed by several people and you are still trying to deny it!

    It is what it is! When you see when ONE person having so many issues with MANY people there is something not right with that! Facts are listed and she copied (Several people)...Admit it and be done!! Create your own things!

    ReplyDelete
  71. I agree create your own items apologize to these people and move forward! If you continue to copy people this anger will not go away!!!! You are so big at admitting your faults admit it here and your facebook and then we will all go away!

    ReplyDelete
  72. She did admit when she was wrong...She did apologize for what she felt was wrong and tried to explain herself which was the truth but none of you would listen or believe it. She told you what her intentions were....and you wouldn't hear of it. Maybe if you would listen every now and then instead of running your mouth nonstop, you could get the point. Y'all need to stop...it's ridiculous.

  77. ummm...nope.....I can promise this is not Tia. You're not as smart as you think you are.

I'm a southern girl with manners.

  78. We are not throwing stones we are speaking the truth. The truth that you dont know! She has this big novels about how she has nothing to hide and I post something on her WEBSITE which is the truth by Sarah... Only thing is the thing with HH happened a long time ago but it happned! And then we put in on her Fan page BECAUSE they need to know she is a fake, she copies and she stands behind a cause. GOOD DEEDs dont need to be put in black and white and if she was doing all of this and was really standing for a cause that is why we have NON PROFIT organizations! Its all a huge scam!

  79. I am pretty sure you dont know who I - we are - there is a group of people that she has done this too!

  80. Okay, part of what you said is true and she will be more than willing to admit that but you have only known of Tia maybe 3 months. You don't know shit else about her. You don't have the complete truth. Maybe if you got it all down right, nobody would disagree. She will admit her faults but you are flipping the truth around. But, like I said, you won't take the time to try to solve it. You are so one sided. And if you are trying to say she is a scam for her cause you deserve to burn in hell. That is what she does for her son that is sick!! How dare you question that. You really have issues.

  81. Trust me, I know who each and every one of you are...would you like me to call you out? Because I can, and if I were a vindictive person I would post all of your alls nastiness too but I'm way better than that.

  82. Post what you like we have come this far but you are way way off from who you think we are!!! Funny that whoever you are is admitting the faults but Tia is not! It would be nice if she would have a come to Jesus with those into which she has single handedly pissed off! You can post names if you want but I am sure that would cause major consequences! All those would come to a end if Tia would write another NOVEL on how she has taken others people's hard work and made them her own!

    ReplyDelete
  83. You are an absolute waste. She admitted what she did wrong so why don't you just except it. And, she told the truth about the stupid snowman glass and admitted that. She also tried to explain how everything went down with the whole "Metal L" thing but noooooo, there was no listening..
    so, if you know who I am then that tells me I know exactly who you are ;)
    Let it go already. Is it not exhausting for you to keep up this stupid charade?
    Really, ladies....when are you gonna act your age?

    ReplyDelete
  84. Your words and "semi admitted wrongs" dont mean anything if you continue to copy, look at their facebooks, get other people involved and continue to as you may! We can pick this up tomorrow I am headed to bed - my silence does not mean that I agree with what you are saying it just means I am tired for today!

    ReplyDelete
  85. Ok will she admit that she is copying people? Because I think that is what this mostly is about.

    She knows I have emails with other artists' photos in them. Emails with her asking me if I could make those items for her. So she tries to make me out to her customers as a crazy jealous liar so they won't see that I am telling the truth about her wanting me to copy these things for her. It is not necessarily the copying I am angry about though. Yes I don't think it is right. But the fact that she is saying I am a liar and that she never sent me any emails like that is truly what I am angry about.

  86. I am sad to say that I think this person will never change and she is who she is. She has enemies for a reason and that is how it will always be. :(

  87. Hi Wendy. Here is your apology. I'm sorry. I'm sorry for whatever it is you think I've done to you and with that said, I truly believe you owe me an apology, as well. I explained myself which was the truth about the snowman glass from YEARS ago. I even explained it to Heather. It was one of HER customers on Etsy who contacted me to make one for her. You all can go look it up on my Etsy page. At the time, my business just got started, I needed the money because we had to pay $10,000 out of pocket for my son's insulin pump and frankly, I just didn't know any better. I'm sorry. I really am. I'm human and make mistakes yet you all expect me to be perfect. From that day on, I never once posted those online ever! I sold that one or maybe the buyer ordered 2 but never did I put them online. I only made them for my friends and family and that is the God's honest truth. And you all have crucified me literally over it! And for what?

    The only pictures I remember sending you were of some beaded chains that I NEVER asked you to copy 100%. I know that for a fact. I honestly don't remember sending anything else but I do know that after a while in this industry, I made it a point to specify that I would like something similar. I also think it's funny that Heather has sent my pictures to 2 different suppliers (that I know of) asking for the same things they sell me. What she didn't know is that they are my friends on Facebook and notified me of this. And just the other day, someone actually sent pictures of my work to a friend of mine who buys from Heather. When someone sees something they like, they send the picture to see if it can be done to their taste. There is nothing wrong with that. You all...and I mean, Heather and Kim Naumann have tried to make me out to be this horrible person and you have allowed all those hate comments on your blog. What does that say about you? And you had to "vent"? Why Wendy? That burlap post was months after our falling out? Hadn't you moved on? Why feel the need to vent about me? And couldn't you have called me up or emailed me? I mean, why?

    ReplyDelete
  88. You do beautiful work and have a great talent and I think it is a shame that you haven't gotten any comments on your beautiful work yet over 80 comments on this hate. Wendy, I'm not a bad person and I don't have enemies all over the place. Did you all stop and think that I'm a human being with feelings, too? And how come NONE of you can recognize all the unique things that I make that do not look like everyone else's? And it's ok for Heather to admit to me in email that she copied off of me? Heck, she used to call me and send me emails wanting to know where I got my stuff cause "she just had to have it" and grilled me about how I did trunk shows. I was very very sharing. But it's not ok for me and that is just not fair or nice.

    And as for the Logosagogo thing. Here is my message to them below. Not that it's anyone's business but I was NOT trying to copy from them at all and deep down, they know it. They act like they were so stunned. I spoke with them on the phone telling them that I was wanting the metal blanks that spell out MOM because my customers would love them but wanted to decorate them myself. When they told me they don't sell the blanks, that is when we found Texas Rustic Metal to cut them. I made mine different, too. What is so wrong about that?! It was no surprise and I was not being dishonest in the least. You all have burned me at the stake and it's just not nice. I have feelings too. Did you ever think what was on the other end of all the hatred? I'm a good person with a great family and many friends and really don't deserve that. And I do apologize about the Snickers comment. I spoke out of anger but then again, I'm human and I'm quite sure you are not perfect and have done the same things and your children probably have too and as their mother, you correct it and learn and evolve.

    ReplyDelete
  89. And I'm 100% sure all those anonymous comments came from 2 or maybe 3 people. And to say that I "hide behind my cause" is probably one of the lowest things anyone could ever say to another human being. And even though you did not type that, you have allowed that and that is shameful. So again, Wendy, I'm very sorry. I'm not sure how many times I can say it but do know that I am sincere.

    Hi there. A friend of mine shared your website with me and I love all of your things.
    I also make jewelry and buy and sell to others, as well. I am wanting to place a
    wholesale order with you but was also needing some custom designs for my local
    schools. I was also wondering if you ever happen to do anything with lacrosse?
    I have a bunch of lacrosse moms who are my customers and I think they would
    like something like that. I also wanted to see if you sell just the blank pendants
    so I can do some and put my own unique spin on them. Please let me know
    what your wholesale details are and any information you might need from me.

    thanks so very much,
    tia

  90. Tia I am responding to this same email you sent me in a more lengthy manner but I just wanted to post here that this is NOT about you and HH or anybody else really. It is about things that went on between you and me. It just so happens that HH's designs are involved here. So I can understand her frustration about all of this but I am not doing this to defend HH and your copying of her items. I think she has been defending herself for quite a while now and she doesn't need me to do it for her. I am really defending myself against how you left false negative feedback in my shop and then portrayed me in a crazy jealous manner when I defended myself against that false negative feedback with the feedback I left you. Then you posted my shop name on your blog so that everyone could bash it after the feedback was removed. I never responded to any of those posts on facebook. I decided to vent a little here and that was it.

    ReplyDelete
  91. Okay here was my response to your email just for everyone to see since you are still talking about it on your fanpage:

    This is not about you and heather hansen and whatever is going on with you two and her crew. It is about the situation between you and me. It is about how I stopped responding to your emails. I made a personal decision to stop working for you because I didn't like the way you would send pictures of other artists work and ask me to copy them. Yes I know the conversation about copying has focused on the snowmen.That is only because it is one of heather's more unique designs and you sent me the photo directly from her blog which I found a year after I started cutting that glass for you. From other emails I have from you stating that boutiques were hounding you for the snowmen I don't believe a word of the story about the customer on Etsy. You did sell them to boutiques. You said so yourself.

    When you asked me to do the snowmen glass for you I did not want to do it because of how I found heather's photo of it on her blog. I know I should've been mature enough to say to you that I didn't want to help you copy others designs anymore but I just didn't want the confrontation ( I saw how you talked about heather) and I don't like lying about how I feel to try to make up some other excuse to stop doing work for you. So I stopped responding to you. That really is all I was guilty of until you tried to publicly attack me with the false negative feedback you left. Was the necklace really cracked in transit to you? I still don't believe it for a second.

    You did not have to type all that back story up there. I just don't really care about all that. I don't really care if you copy heather or anybody else. I just wasn't going to help you do it anymore. This could've been over with a long time ago if you hadn't felt the need to get back at me for not responding to your emails.


    Also I posted that a mere month after that stuff happened. Yes I was still angry about it especially since you bashed me publicly on your fan page after the etsy feedback was removed. I would never post on you page to defend myself so I posted on my blog that no one ever looks at and had even less followers on there when that was posted. And I NEVER said your name or shop name anywhere like you have done to me.

    The burlap post was posted on a whim. The reason behind it was irrational and stupid. I do check out your facebook from time to time and saw the pink burlap and how you said you dyed it. I'm not exactly sure why but I didn't believe that you had dyed it because why dye it when you can just buy it? Yes the post was stupid and it still is. If you dyed the burlap well then good for you. But i never named your name there at all like the way you have tried to post my name on facebook and make me out to be crazy and jealous. I vented and that was the last time I really thought about the post and then I moved on.

    ReplyDelete
  92. Part 2:

    Tia I know you have feelings too. It just seems that all those feelings focus more on yourself. Why do you feel the need to post my name on your fanpage? What kind of satisfaction do you get from watching people put me down? Do you find validation in it? Does it make you feel better about yourself? Also why does this seem like a recurring theme on your fanpage? Do you think that you can take digs at people over and over again, make the SAME mistakes over and over again and then explain how you are only human and you made the same mistake yet again but you should be forgiven for it because you are only human? It doesn't work that way you know. If I make a mistake I learn from it and most likely will never make that same mistake twice. But like I said this is a recurring theme and situation for you and I just wonder why.

    I never once asked for an apology. I don't care one way or another because in the end actions speak louder than words. I would love it if you would admit that the etsy feedback was a lie and the necklace wasn't cracked but I know that will never happen.

    I am going to search through my emails now and forward them to you. They are there in black and white and you can't try to talk about glitter and stuff and try to explain all of that stuff away to me. I am not one of your sheep with the wool pulled over my eyes and I never will be.

    ReplyDelete
  93. And then you got angry cause i won't do what you want me to and you start bashing me on your facebook page again. Hmm. I'll be sure to take screen shots of everything that will eventually be deleted though (like everything else you have ever posted about me)so I have proof of what you say about me and you can't twist the words to make me look like the liar and you look like a saint.

    ReplyDelete
  94. Wow, you got an apology from her and that's how you resond???!!! I see that Tia hasn't responded anymore but it seems you aren't letting it go. I actually have followed all of you artists for a while and I actually emailed one of them a while back b/c she seemed to be so negative all the time but she seemed to back it off a bit after she probably realized she was kind of being nasty. Tia really seemed sincere in that apology. You should have just accepted the apology and moved on instead of tryin to keep proving a point! You seem to be a lost cause!

    ReplyDelete
  95. No she emailed me again she didn't respond here.

    I never asked for an apology like I said previously. So if I never wanted it why should I accept it?

    And besides she wasn't apologizing to me about what she actually did to me. She copies others work but that is not what this is about for me.

    The problem I had with tia is that she publicly lied about a product that she bought from me by leaving false negative feedback in my etsy shop. Really I don't need her apologies even for what she did to me. I would like an admission that she purposely lied about the necklace being broken in that feedback to be vindictive but that will never happen. She has a reputation to uphold even if it is a facade.

    And I agree with you that I am a lost cause. There is not a thing in this world you could say to me to insult me. And this is MY blog so my point will continue to be proven until no one else responds here.

    ReplyDelete
  96. Wow, you seem to have a lot of hate! I wasn't trying to insult you whatsoever. I am very far from mean. It just feels like you are keeping it going for no reason at all. Do you have proof that she lied on that feedback and even if she did say that she lied you don't even seem to act like you would accept an apology then. It's sad that you are acting that way about it.

    ReplyDelete
  97. No I don't have a lot of hate at all. It really seems it is the other way around. None of this would even be on here if Tia and her fans didn't come here to comment. I don't comment on her page when she puts my shop name there and links to stuff there. I just let it go when she does that.

    And have you noticed that there are two posts mentioned here about the situation with Tia and the one that is about the necklace that tia claims to have been broken in transit has absolutely no comments on it but it is much more recognizable as a dig against Tia since she made that whole feedback thing public on her fan page. How is it that I have mentioned the so-called broken necklace here in these comments but she never once tries to defend herself about it? If it weren't true and the necklace truly was broken in transit you would think she would be more angry about that post than this stupid post about burlap.

    Also I have sent over 900 packages out on etsy and NOT ONE of them has ever been broken in transit. I package my items very well. So it just so happens that the one necklace I send to Tia gets broken enabling her to leave me negative feedback? Seems awfully suspicious to me.
