Honesty Is Awesome!
So, Krista Sahlin is so awesome! She sent me an email, and told me she appreciated my honesty, and people like me and told me to go ahead and use the code anyway! I feel so blessed!

Honesty or Not?
Today, I was presented with an interesting situation. I love to digi-scrap, and I have a few favorite designers that, when they create new products, I have to refrain from going shopping for them! Krista Sahlin is one of those designers. Her work is so much my style that I buy her stuff as often as I can, grab every freebie she has, and drool over her work; wishing I could "scrap like her" someday.
So, she had a drawing for one of her new baby kits for free. I entered, and thought, "Hmmmm, I'd sure like to win that!" I am scrapping my baby right now, and it would be perfect. When the winner was announced - it said, "Michelle" was the winner, and I thought, "NO WAY!!!" and emailed her immediately wondering if it was really me, or another Michelle.
She emailed me back saying that I was the only "Michelle" she could see who had entered and also on facebook and twitter. She congratulated me and gave me the code to download for free.
OHHHHH. The dilemma! I did not enter on facebook and twitter. I knew instantly it was not me. But, I went to her shop, code in my copy/paste ready to go and then felt my heart sink as the Holy Ghost was telling me that what I was doing was not right.
I knew it. But I really wanted that baby goodness. I walked away from my computer to think and ponder. As soon as I got to my bed, I knew I must reply to her email letting her know that I would not be using the code afterall, because it belonged to someone else. I am going to try to put a picture in here to show you how cute the darn thing is.

As soon as I sent the message off to her, I felt immediately better. Honesty is something I expect from my children. I am easy on them when they tell the truth. I am very harsh on them when they choose to lie and I catch them in it. So, I must do the same with myself. It feels good to do what is right. Better than using a cute scrapbooking kit for free...
