Blah, Blah, Blah Plus Canines and Cookies…
Anyone else hoping to get all their holiday shopping done by Thanksgiving? Usually, I like the hustle and bustle of the holidays. The thought of having to fight for my own space while being preggers makes me want to vomit! How’s that for holiday spirit?! LOL! Of course, this downer comes after the airport last weekend…
We got in about 11pm and Tony took Ellie to get the car {believe me, that was the bigger hassle of the two} and I went to go get the luggage. I left with 2 bags and came home with 6 {5 if you count the backpack that Tony had on him}…thanks to Tony’s shopping and very generous baby shower gifts! I knew that I could wait inside, but decided to make it to the curb so Tony would not have to park, unload Ellie and come find me. I had 2 rolling bags, 2 shopping bags and my purse {believe me, it’s a bag!!}. I put the 2 shopping bags on top of the 2 rolling bags and started to make my way out. Well, one of the shopping bags kept falling, the handles ripped, etc. It was more of a pain than it was probably worth, but I wanted to get to the curb. Would you believe that not one person helped a pregnant lady at now darn near 11:30pm until I was almost outside and the bag fell off again? Plenty of people looked, but no one helped. As someone that keeps the door open for someone behind me, etc., I found this to be quite rude. Yea, I know that I shouldn’t expect help but it sure as hell would have been nice to see a little human decency.
So enough of my blah, blah, blah and onto my stampin’ stuff! These project feature more The Cat’s Pajamas new release from this week. The first is a card that uses a combo of stamping, cutting, punching and {Slice machine} die cuts to create a very 3 dimensional card…
A couple of detail shots…
I embossed the small snowflakes with a transparent pearl embossing powder {Stampendous} and then punched them out with a small circle punch to create ornaments for the tree…
This next recipe card project was a lot of fun to make using the new TCP Glitzy glitter and Coolvetica alpha…
Detail shot…
these are the 2 most stinkin’ cute cards I have ever seen! LOVE the Christmas tree/dog/package card…how creative and adorable!
And, isn’t it a shame how people can be so indifferent…so sorry for your struggles the other night.
Loving it!!!!
It’s amazing to me how thoughtless and aloof most people have become towards other people. I understand that people are more frightened now, but a pregnant woman struggling with bags in an airport?? Not much of a threat! I love those cards, especially the one with the Christmas tree - it’s gorgeous!
And I am hoping to avoid holiday shopping altogether this year. DH is still unemployed and if I can’t make it myself, they ain’t gettin’ it.
I know what you mean about people coming to help you. I’m also the type that opens doors and helps others. One time I was at an event that I was wearing a dress and heals (rare for me) and I was walking with a present and some other things. Well, I went to walk up three steps and miscounted and missed the top one. Of course, I fell on my face and everything went flying. There were tons of people around. You think someone would have helped me pick up my stuff or even ask if I was Ok. Nothing.
I would’ve helped you if were there. Mari
Sadly, I think people are getting more rude by the year. My husband and I were just talking about that the other night. I’ve already got all of my Christmas cards done and I’m determined to have all of my shopping done by Thanksgiving. I don’t think I can deal with all of the rude crowds this year without having a major panic attack! And to be pregnant on top of that? I couldn’t even imagine!
On a happier note…..I LOVE your recipe card! I do a Christmas cookie swap every year and you’ve inspired me to make cute recipe cards to go along with my cookies
Just love the Christmas Tree card. Very special I would feel to receive that in the mail!
People are just rude and self centered. I had an accident recently and it was 8am in the morning on a main street - you know not one person pulled over to even ask if I was OK. If we all just take a moment each day to make a difference by helping someone what a different world we’d live in!
Hope you finish all your shopping soon.
love your card with the perfect ornaments. So pretty!
Man was horny, so he dropped him… man is evil!
Love your card, super super cute! So festive and cheery!
oh jen that card is the best! just love how you did the snowflake ornaments!
as for the rude people - sad but does not surprise me
Sorry to hear you had such a bad experience at the airport.
your card is too cute, and I just love that recipe card, so neat with the “sugar” on the words
Totally cute tree, love the stamps and ohhhhh for that SUGAR on the card, almost looks good enough to eat.
