Questions and Answers:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Question: You have a lot of great ideas! Where do you get them all?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Answer: <\/strong>I get inspiration from other blogs, other art and design projects I see around, and of course, the dollar store itself! Also, many of the ideas featured on this blog are from other blogs! Check for links at the end of the first paragraph to visit them. [the links look like this]<\/p>\n

Question: Can you give me more instruction on how <insert project here> was done? I don’t quite get it!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Answer: <\/strong>If a tutorial is located at someone else’s page (as approximately 90% of the projects featured on Dollar Store Crafts are), I make a point of not including ALL the info (the complete tutorial instructions) for the project in my blog entry, because I want to encourage people to visit the original project to see how to do it.\u00a0 I don’t like it when people copy my tutorials in entirety and post them on their own blogs, so I don’t do that to others. For more info, check the link at the end of the first paragraph in the blog post you are interested in. It’s enclosed in brackets and [it looks like this.]<\/p>\n

Question: Can I submit my ideas?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Answer:<\/strong> YES! If you have already made your own dollar store craft, please send me a link to your blog or website (where you originally posted it), OR send me details and a photo, or post on the Facebook<\/a> page. While I can’t promise all ideas submitted will be featured on the site, I try hard to showcase as many reader submissions as I can! My email address is heather <at> dollarstorecrafts *dot* com. Note about photos:<\/strong> Please don’t send ginormous photos! And, the clearer and prettier the photo is, the more likely I am to use your idea as a feature. Note about response time:<\/strong> I get a ton of submissions and email in general, and so you might not hear back from me, or it might take awhile for me to write you back. Don’t worry, I still like you! Email me anytime.<\/p>\n

Question: Hey! That craft looks an awful lot like something I already posted on my own blog! Did you steal it?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Answer:<\/strong> Nope! I (and my contributors) make efforts to credit all the people involved in blog posts. Sometimes DSC will feature a project that strongly resembles others available on the web; chances are, we weren’t aware of yours when we wrote our post. The web is wide, my friends, and lots of ideas have been done before. Sometimes I come up with something all on my own that someone else (usually Martha Stewart!!) has already done. This is part of the mystery of the collective unconscious<\/a>. But for real, I said I don’t like it when people steal my tutorials, so I don’t do that to others. If something I write strongly resembles yours, let’s just chalk it up to being kindred spirits\/of the same mind, okay? ‘Cause I promise I’m not the plagiarizin’ kind. But feel free to write me a friendly comment or email and point out your own awesome tutorial. If you’re nice, I’ll probably link to it. If you’re mean, I probably won’t. I believe the web is at its best when we are kind and friendly and generous. If you’ve posted a tute for free on your blog, then let the tute be free. I’ll set the example and provide all the tutorials I write for Dollar Store Crafts to you for free!<\/p>\n

Question: Can you make it possible to enlarge the print on your site so those of us who need it larger can read it easier?
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

You can do this on any webpage through your browser. For example, if you use Firefox to browse the internet, you can adjust the print by holding down the CTRL key and using your scroll wheel to scroll forward (or the + and – keys). Then you can adjust the print to a comfortable size. Here’s a page with instructions for other types of web browsers (if you use Internet Explorer or another browser, it will be covered here): Adjusting Text Size in Your Browser<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Question: Why do you have advertising and affiliate marketing links on your site?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Answer:<\/strong> This site is a for-profit site. That doesn’t mean we have sold out or will allow our editorial content to be compromised. We think writing for Dollar Store Crafts is the best job ever, and this site is one of the best on the web. Our first priority is to keep Dollar Store Crafts awesome!
