Wise words once shared with me: “Your opinion of me is none of my business”. Everyone at one point has been more negative than necessary. As a matter of fact some of the above comments are rather harsh in response. Negativity is all around, seek to understand. Love your blog Mandi and your creativity even if I don’t always like what you like I love that you do your thing!!

I find it so weird/sad that people would read a blog just to make a rude comment. If you don’t like the content don’t read that blog amiright? Wasting your own time at that point. People who make comments like that are not only crappy but also lazy. It is a lot easier to destroy than it is to create, you choose to create and you do it so well. Thanks for writing, please never stop!

Well, that was certainly a creative way to diss somebody! I haven’t gotten too many rude comments (thankfully) but the few that I have were really funny like that, too. Once I was doing a few holiday projects with common household items, and I framed a little cardboard coaster from Target. A woman left a comment saying that I wasted money buying the coasters if I was only going to frame one. Uh, I used the rest with our drinks! 🙂 Haha.

FYI – I bought that rug for my son’s bedroom. It is beautiful. HOWEVER, it is very scratchy, and I ended up returning it. It’s not the kind of rug a 3-year old can roll around on and run trucks back and forth across because it’s just not good on bare skin. Would be great in a dining room or adults-only space. Just wanted to throw that out there for anyone who is interested in it.

Oh girl. I hear ya on the negative comments. 100 at-a-boy’s all go out the window when you get one stinker who has no diarrhea-of-the-mouth filter. I happened to bump in to one of those blogger bashing sites the other day and read some pretty nasty things about myself and blog. Ouch. Talk about going in to such a deep depression that only 10 Swig Cookies could remedy. You rock. You’re the queen sizzle. Glad you could see the humor in the comment and make a funny out of it. Keep on keepin’ on.

MJ yeah, no one has to like ALL of a bloggers projects and ideas. But that doesn’t mean they are allowed to be mean about it. It doesn’t cost a penny to be nice. Or at least tactful! Something like “this isn’t my style, but what an interesting idea” or if you don’t like it, then save your self 5 minutes and just don’t comment. This is how I approach reading blogs. Because, really, don’t we all get enough criticism and hurtful words as it is? Let’s end the cycle and be nice and loving to those around us.

I came across your blog via the decor8 site and I love it. I’ll definitely be returning to it again. Well done on your approach to the negative comments!

In reply to MJ.

MJ I completely agree that different opinions don’t equal right/wrong. I 1000% do not think that everyone should praise all of the things. I actually shared it because I thought it was pretty funny and so that people who don’t blog might relate a little bit better to that article knowing that its not just major sites like Elle Decor that get backlash. I really appreciate you opinion, thanks for stopping by!

Cyber bullying???? Aggressive???? LOL
Anyone who needs total acceptance might be better advised not to get into blogging.
Mandi wears big girl panties and handles such minor stuff as this like an adult.
Good for her. I’d rather make a pair of leather booties to wear on wet ground and still keep my feet dry. And I guess I’d not use a whole sofa skin to do it. Different strokes for different folks.
