  • Transparency Disclosure

    I talk about the products that I use and love on my blog, and sometimes share links to where you can buy these products, if you'd like to try them yourself. Some of these links may be affiliate links, which just means that if you buy, I get a few pennies to help offset the costs associated with running this blog, like my domain registration and hosting fees.

    I only share links to products and vendors that I have used and have a good relationship with. As an example, I usually buy books through Amazon, but I cannot participate in Amazon's affiliate program since I am a resident of North Carolina (due to state tax laws). Therefore, I will still link you to books at Amazon, despite the fact that I am not using an affiliate link. I'm not going to point you to another bookstore where I could get an affiliate link, if that's not a store or vendor I use.

    It gets monotonous to tell you in every post that I use affiliate links, so I will not identify them in each and every post. If you ever have a question about a link and whether it is an affiliate link, you can contact me and I will let you know.

    Your trust is important to me; that is why I only stick to vendors I know, use, and trust myself. Vendors like Amazon, Hero Arts, Two Peas in a Bucket, Ranger, Tsukineko, Jerry's Artarama, the National Association of Photoshop Professionals, ProBlogger eBooks, the Thesis Theme for WordPress, Gravity Forms, and BlueHost, to name just a few. And, if someone were to give me a free product to try in exchange for a review of that product, I would let you know that, too. So far, I haven't been that lucky! ;-)
