Sorry!

First off, I would like to address something that has come to my attention.  I was approached by a lady interested in sponsoring our challenges as they are a "new" company.  I was excited about new images and the chance to help them if I could, so I thought- this will be fun!  We came up with a little idea of an image selection contest because my entire year is already full for sponsors but wanted to try something out to help get her name out there....It was brought to my attention by a couple of people that there is some "speculation" about her images and the close likeness of that of the images from Lori from By Lori Designs.  Now I do not personally own any images from By Lori Designs, but I have heard of Lori Boyd and she has an absolutely spectacular reputation....so I went on the hunt to check out her images as compared to the "other people" and in my own opinion, the similarities are not purely coincidence.  So for the record, I do not by any stretch of the imagination condone this type of behavior at all and have been on several DT in the past that have dealt with image theft of some description.  I would like to publicly apologize to Lori as this is not the example I want to set with this challenge blog and most definitely not behavior I want to encourage.
