The FBI is Watching

I have a friend who is a big social media junkie, yet she is terrified that "they" will find out information about her. 

Almost daily she posts links to articles about internet hacking, identity theft, false profiles, information piracy, etc.  She also posts daily updates about where she is, what she ate, how long she hung out, and her upcoming plans for the rest of the day.  No one has to hack her to find out what she is up to. All they have to do is be her Facebook friend, subscribe to her Twitter account, read her blog, or send her a friendly email.  She certainly doesn't make it hard for anyone to find out information about her.

Since I'd hate to break it to break it to her that "they" probably already know everything there is to know about her, I'll just keep my mouth shut. And I won't tell her that her life is too boring for anyone to hack either.  Yes, because that would be rude.

All Natural

I had a friend who used to pester me to try her skin care regime because she just loved the way it made her face look and feel.  I'm sure the fact that her sister sold the products in question played a part of why she wanted me to try it as well.

I'm quite pleased with my current skin care products.  I don't need to find a demonstrator or have a home party to buy them, and I certainly don't need to save up for them.  In fact, I just walk into the drug store and pluck them off the shelf.  That said, however, I can be experimental in the name of getting you to shut your piehole up.

There were far more steps than I'm used to with slapping on this and dabbing this, and slathering on that and wiping the other off.  The end result was my face itched and itched along my jaw line.  It went on and on until I scrubbed my face raw to remove all residue of her superior skin care products.

When I saw her the next day I told my friend that those products gave me a rash.  She pondered that for awhile.  "Huh, that's weird," she said,  "since all they are all natural."

Yeah?  So is poison ivy.

World Card Making Day

Here's the first card of the day, pre-breakfast:

I wanted to make this card to honor the dandelions on my blog (in the upper right hand corner).  The sheer ribbon is actually curly, until you squash it flat onto the bed of the scanner.  I plan to make some cards for Operation Write Home today but this will not be one of them because I put glitter on the dandelion.  Glitter is a no-no for Operation Write Home cards.  The day is still young!

The Fine Print: Stamp by Stamp Rosa (HM now distributed by Stampabilities), colored with Copic markers.

I have a stack of pre-printed patterned background cards on my desk, so I thought I'd try to use them:

 The Fine Print: "Happy Birthday" by Endless Creations, cake by DeNami Designs, Snowman by A Muse Studio "Chill of Winter" set, "warm wishes" by Hero Arts, patterned cards by DCWV.

And some more patterned background cards:

 
 The Fine Print: Bursting Blooms by AMuse Artstamps, "Smile", bubblegum ink and ribbon by A Muse Studio, "Good Day" saying and girl by Inkadinkado, patterned cards by DCWV.

Continuing the patterned card theme:

The Fine Print: "Autumn a Second Spring" by Stampendous, Leaf Punch by EK Success, glitter paper by DCWV, Pirate Girl by unknown (image given to me), patterned cards by DCWV.

And a couple other ones and then it is beddy-bye time:
