FAQ


questions asked but never answered

1. BLOG POSTS

All off the stories, ideas and design projects on The Polished Pebble come from my day to day life.  I sometimes find the best blog posts are about little things, like making your own granola or turning your yard waste into wonderful compost.   Often readers tell me what they like too.  If you have an idea, photos, a house project or a great story to share, I'm all ears!  Most importantly... I try to keep it real.

2.  PHOTOGRAPHY

Unless otherwise noted, all of the photography on this blog is mine.  I am not a professional photographer, it is just a fun hobby.  Using photographs found on the Internet or on other websites, can sometimes be useful when trying to pull an idea together.  I always try to give readers the source of the photograph.  If you see a photo shown that has been used without permission, PLEASE let me know so I can give you attribution or remove it if that is your choice.  If you would like to use any of my photo's please send me an email and link back to The Polished Pebble.  For businesses and freelance writers,  I charge a $250 dollar one time photo usage fee.

3.  GIVEAWAYS

I'm always looking for great gifts to giveaway to readers.  If you have something you think I might like, please let me know.  If the item doesn't seem appropriate, I do sometimes decline the offer.  I also have giveaways of special things that I really love, which I purchase and give awayas a gift to a random reader.  Giveaways are posted in a timely manner in the order they are received. No items less than a $50 dollar value, please.

4.  PRODUCT REVIEWS

I love doing product reviews and plan on doing more.  If you have something that you would like an opinion on, send me an email about your product and ideas.  I never review or endorse a product that does not have contextual value to my readers.  Beware, I will be completely honest and fair, so make sure you are sending off something really cool!
