I found some cards in my signature colors! I left the back blank so I can include little notes to my customers. Ordered them in heavy stock gloss. I think they're perfect!
Laugh, laugh then laugh some more! Men VS. Women
WOMAN'S PERFECT BREAKFAST
She's sitting at the table with her gourmet coffee.
Her son is on the cover of the Wheaties box.
Her daughter is on the cover of Business Week.
Her boyfriend is on the cover of Playgirl.
And her husband is on the back of the milk carton.
WOMEN'S REVENGE
'Cash, check or charge?' I asked, after folding items the woman wished to purchase.
As she fumbled for her wallet, I noticed a remote control for a television set in her purse.
'So, do you always carry your TV remote?' I asked.
'No,' she replied, 'but my husband refused to come shopping with me,
and I figured this was the most evil thing I could do to him legally.'
UNDERSTANDING WOMEN
(A MAN'S PERSPECTIVE)
I know I'm not going to understand women.
I'll never understand how you can take boiling hot wax,
pour it onto your upper thigh, rip the hair out by the root,
and still be afraid of a spider.
CIGARETTES AND TAMPONS
A man walks into a pharmacy and wanders up & down the aisles..
The sales girl notices him and asks him if she can help him.
He answers that he is looking for a box of tampons for his wife.
She directs him down the correct aisle.
A few minutes later, he deposits a huge bag of cotton balls and a ball of string on the counter.
She says, confused, 'Sir, I thought you were looking for some tampons for your wife?
He answers, 'You see, it's like this, yesterday, I sent my wife to the store
to get me a carton of cigarettes, and she came back with a tin of tobacco
and some rolling papers; cause it's sooo-ooo--oo-ooo much cheaper.
So, I figure if I have to roll my own . so does she...
(I figure this guy is the one on the milk carton!)
WIFE VS. HUSBAND
A couple drove down a country road for several miles, not saying a word. An earlier discussion had led to an argument and
neither of them wanted to concede their position..
As they passed a barnyard of mules, goats, and pigs,
the husband asked sarcastically, 'Relatives of yours?'
'Yep,' the wife replied, 'in-laws.'
WORDS
A husband read an article to his wife about how many words women use a day.
30,000 to a man's 15,000.
The wife replied, 'The reason has to be because we have to repeat everything to men...
The husband then turned to his wife and asked, 'What?'
CREATION
A man said to his wife one day, 'I don't know how you can be
so stupid and so beautiful all at the same time.
'The wife responded, 'Allow me to explain.
God made me beautiful so you would be attracted to me;
God made me stupid so I would be attracted to you!
WHO DOES WHAT
A man and his wife were having an argument about who
should brew the coffee each morning.
The wife said, 'You should do it because you get up first,
and then we don't have to wait as long to get our coffee.
The husband said, 'You are in charge of cooking around here and
you should do it, because that is your job, and I can just wait for my coffee.'
Wife replies, 'No, you should do it, and besides, it is in the Bible that the man should do the coffee.'
Husband replies, 'I can't believe that, show me.'
So she fetched the Bible, and opened the New Testament and showed him at the top of several pages, that it indeed says . 'HEBREWS'
The Silent Treatment
A man and his wife were having some problems at home
and were giving each other the silent treatment.
Suddenly, the man realized that the next day, he would need his wife to wake him
at 5:00 AM for an early morning business flight.
Not wanting to be the first to break the silence (and LOSE), he wrote on a piece of paper,
'Please wake me at 5:00 AM.' He left it where he knew she would find it.
The next morning, the man woke up, only to discover it was 9:00 AM and he had missed his flight Furious, he was about to go and see why his wife hadn't wakened him,
when he noticed a piece of paper by the bed.
The paper said, 'It is 5:00 AM. Wake up..'

The perfect gift for romantic lovebirds!!!
I found this very adorable unimitten for all the lovebirds, and yes they are everywhere.
I envision an elderly couple, married about 60 years, taking a leisurely stroll on a beautiful fall afternoon.
Or maybe empty nesters that walk everyday to stay healthy. Even in the winter.
If you know that one couple that ALWAYS hold hands this would be the perfect gift. I can just imagine the smiles and warm feelings this adorable mitten would bring. Especially to people passing by.

I Love My Cats, REALLY I Do!
As I'm sitting here typing on this blog-my wonderful Lotto has decided it is time to mess with mama! He's sitting right next to me, right now. We're talking about a cat that can open drawers and doors. Not big drawers, those plastic organizer ones. He's taken an eyelash curler, from one in the bathroom, and played with it. He has also taken my BC pills out to bat around. I was glad we didn't have company!!
Right now he's going after pens, tools, bills(he can keep those!) He's trying to take my glasses off my face(he also does that at night when I'm reading in bed). Oh, now the headphones!! Little shit's purring the whole time!!!!
WHY? WHY DOES HE DO THIS???!!!
He gets in these moods once in awhile. Don't tell me he's doing it for attention, he gets lots of that!
LOTTO! STOP IT!!!!
Daddy's just laughing-I don't see what is so funny.
Damn it Lotto!
Oh, ok, kissy kissy. I love you too. Sorry mama yelled at ya.
FOR THE GIRLS
~ One of the mysteries of life is that a two pound box of chocolates can make you gain five pounds.
~ The reason women over 50 don't have babies is because we would put them down and forget where we put them.
~ It's time to give up jogging for your health when your thighs keep rubbing together and starting your pants on fire.
~ What happens if you confuse your Valium with your birth control pills?You have 12 kids, but you don't really care.
~ Skinny people bug me. They say things like, "Sometimes I forget to eat." Now, I've forgotten my keys, my glasses, my address and my mother's maiden name. But I have never forgotten to eat! You have to be a special kind of stupid to forget to eat!
~ What is the best way to forget your troubles? Wear tight clothes.
~ Why is it harder to lose weight as you get older? Because by that time your body and your fat have become really good friends.
~My mind doesn't wander, it leaves completely.
~What happens when you leave an outfit hanging in your closet for a while? It shrinks two sizes.
~ It's nice to live in a small town, because if you don't know what you are doing, someone else does.
~ I read some article which said that the symptoms of stress are impulse buying, eating too much and driving too fast. Are they kidding? That's what I call a perfect day.

I LOVE FINGERLESS GLOVES w/alpaca wool
For the last couple years I have been in love with fingerless gloves. I wear them all winter. They can be layered with gloves for extra warmth OR style.
Well I also love alpacas and their wool(see my earlier post). I found an Etsy shop that offers fingerless gloves in an alpaca wool blend. The prices are good also.

Another Household Tip
I received this in my email-pretty interesting....JW
Peroxide VS Bleach
This was written by Becky Ransey of Indiana (a doctor's wife), and I want to share it with you. She was over recently for coffee and smelled the bleach I was using to clean my toilet and counter tops. This is what she told me:
"I would like to tell you of the benefits of thatPlain little ole bottle of 3% peroxide you can get for under $1.00 at any drug store. What does bleach cost? My husband has been in the medical field for over 36 years, and most doctors don't tell you about peroxide."Have you ever smelled bleach in a doctor's office? NO!!! Why? Because it smells, and it is not healthy! Ask the nurses who work in the doctor's offices, and ask them if they use bleach at home. They are wiser and know better!"Did you also know bleach was invented in the late 40's? It's chlorine, folks! And it was used to kill our troops.
"Peroxide was invented during WWI. It was used to save and help cleanse the needs of our troops and hospitals. Please think about this:
1. Take one capful (the little white cap that comes with the bottle) and hold in your mouth for 10 minutes daily, then spit it out. (I do it when I bathe.) No more canker sores, and your teeth will be whiter without expensive pastes. Use it instead of mouthwash.

2. Let your toothbrushes soak in a cup of peroxide to keep them free of germs.
3. Clean your counters and table tops with peroxide to kill germs and leave a fresh smell. Simply put a little on your dishrag when you wipe, or spray it on the counters.
4. After rinsing off your wooden cutting board, pour peroxide on it to kill salmonella and other bacteria..
5. I had fungus on my feet for years until I sprayed a 50/50 mixture of peroxide and water on them (especially the toes) every night and let dry.
6. Soak any infections or cuts in 3% peroxide for five to ten minutes several times a day. My husband has seen gangrene that would not heal with any medicine but was healed by soaking in peroxide.
7. Fill a spray bottle with a 50/50 mixture of peroxide and water and keep it in every bathroom to disinfect without harming your septic system like bleach or most other disinfectants will.
8. Tilt your head back and spray into nostrils with your 50/50 mixture whenever you have a cold, plugged sinus. It will bubble and help to kill the bacteria. Hold for a few minutes, and then blow your nose into a tissue.
9. If you have a terrible toothache and cannot get to a dentist right away, put a capful of 3% peroxide into your mouth and hold it for ten minutes several times a day. The pain will lessen greatly.
10. Put half a bottle of peroxide in your bathTo help rid boils, fungus, or other skin infections.
11. You can also add a cup of peroxide instead of bleach to a load of whites in your laundry to whiten them. If there is blood on clothing, pour it directly on the soiled spot. Let it sit for a minute, then rub it and rinse with cold water. Repeat if necessary.
12. I use peroxide to clean my mirrors. There is no smearing, which is why I love it so much for this.
"I could go on and on. It is a little brown bottle no home should be without! "With prices of most necessities rising, I'm glad there's a way to save tons of money in such a simple, healthy manner!"This information really woke me up. I hope you gain something from it, too.Pass this on .. And on .... And on!
Seda's First Big Public Walk
We took Rebee and Seda for a real long walk on the Trailway in Flushing.
It's beautiful this time of year!!
It was Seda's first long public walk. Started out kinda bad but she ended up settling down. We came across about 30 other dogs, joggers, walkers and bikers. No problems!! I was very happy with her. Reb's been there alot. She's never a problem. I was more worried about her getting worn out because of her age but she proved mom wrong. She still had energy when we were done. I, on the other hand, found out I am out of shape!!!
Farmville
I feel like I'm in the minority when it comes to Farmville. EVERY time I go to my personal facebook page, someone has done something in FARMVILLE!!! I think it's a cult. I really do. I REFUSE to get sucked in!!!!!
HELP!!! There EVERYWHERE!!!
Dollar Tree Direct

Scam Alert!!!
I got an official looking letter today. I am including copies so you know what to look for(above,click for larger view).
Researched the NAPW and found interesting things! I am also including a link to one of them
According to this website-once you return the card-someone calls you trying to sell you a membership. They get really pushy trying to get your cc number.
It has a postage paid card to fill out and return. Welllll-I'm gonna!!! I wrote scam on all the lines and I AM returning it! LOL!!!!
We need bigger uncluttered checkouts!
These big box stores need to get bigger checkout counters!! Just got home from Dollar xxxx and the MAIN THING I went there for was not in my bag!!!!! Four pair of reading glasses on the counter and the cashier totally missed them because of all the junk they have sitting there. These things are small enough-they don't need to put impulse purchase items there. Everyone that walks in there makes impulse purchases anyway! We as customers should not have to do their job. We are busy getting our money/debit cards out and figuring out which way to swipe it!
Just had to vent!!!
Man, those glasses were so cute too!
I still love Dollar xxxx though!!
Detroit Lions
One thing I really want to see in my lifetime is the Detroit Lions win the Super Bowl.
I'm thinking I may not live long enough!!!!!!
New Christmas Items
New Christmas items-great for everyday or as a stocking stuffer!Halloween items now on sale!
Good Times!! GO BLUE!
We had a little fun at work this week do to the Michigan-Michigan State game this weekend. I'm true blue and Karen is a Sparty. We tried to one up each other all week! I put GO BLUE!! as the screen saver on the computer she uses. I put a jersey shaped bottle cozy on her back window wiper blade(she drove all around with it on there!LOL). I sent someone to tape a sign on her back that said GO BLUE! Had her for a couple minutes until another Sparty told her it was there!! She put a donut in front of me with green frosting and a big white S! She called my extension CONSTANTLY blaring the State fight song!
We laughed so hard even when one of our evil attempts failed!
I'm looking forward to April Fools Day!! She didn't work there last year-and I hold the record with 22 people I got last year. And YES! I keep score!
Monday morning could be VERY interesting!
GO BLUE!!!!!
I LOVE ALPACAS!
OMG!! Alpacas are so adorable!! And oh so soft!!!! They had all kinds of items there made from alpaca wool. I want it all!! Warmer than traditional wool and as soft as cashmere!!
Plus there is a whole industry in the USA and items are made here!!
I had no idea how many farms there were just in Michigan. I hope everyone starts supporting this industry!
You should have seen them laying in front of the fans. They looked very spoiled! It was an indoor event but every pen had real sod, large fans and bags of hay hanging. They don't even have to bend down to eat. Pretty social to. Click the link below for more info.

My new signature packaging
My new packaging! This will
be my branding-pink and black! This is it! I'm sticking with it. They are my "signature" colors
For mens items, I am using a silvery gray tissue paper with black and white ribbon. The gift tags included are a gray textured linen paper. I'm thinking pink would not be appropriate.
