A letter to digital users

Friends, there has been a huge misunderstanding. I received an email stating that I had reported someone or a group of people for copyright infringement. This is not the case and I want to clear this up with anyone reading this that may have that impression.
 I DID NOT report anyone.  I give my digis away because my when husband died what work we did was together. I can't do that work anymore. The pictures that I give away have been washed in the tears of my grief. This blog has been very personal for me and I know I don't write very much or say very much, but this has been a way for me to work out my sadness at losing my best friend in the world.  Recently I stopped drawing because I just didn't feel the passion to even pick up a pencil. I have been trying to get back to drawing a little something everyday.
The only thing that I ask is that they are not mass produced like printing them out and sold. Anyone can use my images using a handmade process and sell them.Of course there is a need to print out the image to color it and incorporate it into a handmade card.
I hope this clears up what has been said and we are all still friends.
