It took a bit of digging but I figured out who stole Spiderbite's journal idea.

The same woman is also encouraging others to misuse Priority Mail boxes for the long term storage of children's art and school paper.

This is prohibited by the PO and she knows it.

She'll probably pull her box idea entry as soon as she reads the waiting to be moderated comment I left on the page but in the meantime, here it is:

It makes me sick to my stomach that people like this can hide their dishonesty behind their religion.

"That’s when I remembered an idea I read about in Family Fun Magazine. One clever Mom suggested using Priority Mail boxes to store kid art projects. I use Priority Mail to ship all my MeckMom Etsy Store orders, so luckily I had a pack of these flat rate boxes sitting in the garage. I pulled out three boxes and labeled them with each child’s name, teacher, grade, and the year. Next, I started sifting through their stash and pulled out my favorite pieces. Then, I let the kids choose a few of their favorites. After that, I went through their family inbox (that’s where I temorarily store stuff I want to keep) and added a few more items to their box (like school pictures, awards, mother’s day cards, etc.).
My plan from this point is to take a video of each child going through and describing the treasures in their box. Once that’s done, we’ll pack everything up, seal the box, and move them to the big, plastic container in the garage.
It’s not a permanent solution - eventually I hope to make DVDs of each kid’s photos, art, and videos. It’s just a great way to keep everything organized (and off my floor) until I have time to take on the bigger project. The flat rate boxes are available for free at your local post office or online at usps.com. Just thought I’d pass it on."

Yes, MeckMom, they are FREE if you USE them to SHIP your PRIORITY MAIL. They are not FREE for household or storage use. You know this because you AGREED to this.

Now I'm off to educate the idiots at Family Fun magazine.

She's a thief wrapped in the trappings of sanctity. I mean wth gave her the idea that it was even slightly ok to buy a journal from Spiderbite so she could come up with a "how to" and then have the balls to plan on offering monster journal diy kits in her Etsy shop.

Ok, that was a super run-on. But you get the point.

This is almost funny. I say almost because it's mostly pathetic. She sent me an email telling me I am now banned from posting on her blog and informing me that "further harassment may result in legal action."

MeckMom, you're violating FEDERAL LAW and openly encouraging others to do the same via your blog and YOU want to talk about legal action?

You steal another person's intellectual property with the intention of making a profit on the back of her hard work and effort and YOU want to talk about legal action?

Does the expression "unclean hands" mean anything to you? It should.

How dumb can one woman possibly be?

She's all freaked out now 'cause lot's of people probably came and visited her blog - and not as fans.
