People can't afford to buy things on apps.I know it's wrong but people do it because they don't want to BUY them so maybe do a free pack?

^^^^^ yea

I suggest doing some free packs because it makes it less tempting to steal and it gives them the stickers they wanted!! 😉😉✨

Yeah, nothing against anybody, but some people really CAN'T afford them, I also see that you don't want yours stolen, maybe do free packs??

I already said--I UNDERSTAND that not everyone can AFFORD $2 for a sticker pack--but that is STILL NO EXCUSE. Why are you guys justifying STEALING??? WOW. As far as "making a free pack"--This is MY WORK, MY JOB. would YOU work for free? no. there are PLENTY of people who do buy my packs & there is NO JUSTIFICATION for STEALING. if you don't like it, that's your choice-but I am not going to tolerate the stealing--it's not ok.

^^ did that....& that's when I noticed the stealing. so no more. I am done.

and THANK YOU -hippie-! at least SOMEBODY is not making excuses for this STEALING nonsense! appreciate you.😘

im so sorry! people need to stop!

thank you!💜

I absolutely agree! unfortunately I have no say in HOW PicCollage presents my packs after I turn them over. But I couldn't agree with you more.

I totally understand!

no offense stay_strong_xx but I'm erasing that comment so as not to give the thieves anymore ideas 💡 lol. but thank you heaps!

thank you iluvsushi 💜

I know. i understand. You work hard for these stickers, and people who don't wanna buy them JUST CUT THEM OUT WITH A PERFECTION....And it's not cool. Miriam works hard guys.. and ur wasting time by cutting them with perfection. Stealing should not be justified. No excuse. Please DON'T STEAL MIRIAM WORKS HARD YA KNOW SHE HAS A LIFE

I really understand your point of view. You work hard trying to make a living out of what you love to do and people are stopping that. Every person on this planet has to make a living. But if you steal, you are making life harder for the people (in this case you) that are on the receiving end. So to all the thieves out there I have two things to say. Firstly, if you were in Miriam's place and people were stealing your hard work, you would react the same way, so why do you do it? Secondly, if you like the work that much, why can't you pay two pounds for it (I am British, so if you say dollars don't correct me like other people have been doing as it is really annoying). My final word on this is I may not use paid for sticker packs, but I know that if I want one I should go and buy one, not steal it. So Miriam, you have every more than every right to be annoyed.

Sorry for the length of my comment

thank you so much Candy578! I would never correct you--I do know what pounds are & I love that you are British & proud!🇬🇧

thank you Stay_Strong_XX as your comment & suggestion really was most helpful and even insightful!💜

and i just want to thank everyone who has been understanding. the few who are stealing are not necessarily hurting my profession a great deal but when I caught onto it during my Lollie Shoppe contest (stealing the stickers to enter the contest), it was discouraging and very disappointing. the main reason for having a contest like that was so that I could SEE exactly HOW my stickers were being used and acquire some feedback. as an artist it is so rewarding to see my stickers being used & to find out how everyone likes them or even what improvements can be made for my future packs. unfortunately this contest only shed light on the theft... I could not tell who had purchased them and who stole them. if you put yourself in my shoes 👠 for a moment, you could see how confusing & difficult it was to choose a winner. I even discovered users stealing stickers from my INSTAGRAM ACCOUNT! it was reeeeally disappointing. 😞 i guess i just never expected it.

^i agree with you Miriam (love your name by the way) it is really disappointing to see other people clip out something and use it without buying it. I would NEVER EVER do that. I understand that many people really want the stickers, but for free...but they have to realize this is your job and that you like seeing people use your creations. when people cut them out, it's disgusting to see. I'm so sorry 💕

^and I agree 💯 percent, no one should steal someone work period. When I get $2 I will definitely buy your stickers 💕

I know you work really hard on your stickers and it is your job.They are really great,they truly are and I'm sorry if I offended you.I didn't mean to do that.Really honestly I'm sorry if I did that.People don't think before stealing them.Maybe you could take this as an opportunity to make a contest or something idk 😐 If people steal the stickers they must like them at least.... Just keep going on and making more stickers and ignore the people who steal.I'll bring the issue up to pic collage and hopefully it can be stopped for good :( sorry again if my 1st comment offended you

ok then I won't bring it up if you don't want me too :)

TO ANONYMOUS 67: I already explained EXACTLY WHY I did ONE contest that required the use of my newly released sticker pack at the time. I have done HEAPS for the users & my followers. I am done explaining myself. Users can either be respectful & do the right thing or deal with the consequences.

I am not discussing this anymore guys. I addressed the issue, it's done. I DO NOT need or want anyone getting involved or involving PC. I can do that for myself. thanks to everyone who was supportive & understanding.

Stealing is just NOT COOL PEOPLE. Miriam works really hard and her stickers are amazing. Not being able to afford $2 stickers isn't an excuse, either. They're worth the money, and if you don't have that kind of money, don't buy them. Stealing is illegal - it's simple as that.
