Something For The Scrapbookers

Here's something for all of the scrapbookers and / or cardmakers out there - or maybe it's for their husbands!
I'm not trying to offend anyone with this, but I read this recently and got a laugh out of it and I thought someone else might too!

She learned to stamp on Monday;
Her embossing was quite fine;
But she forgot to thaw out dinner,
So we went out to dine.
She did backgrounds on Tuesday,
She says they are a must;
They really are quite lovely,
But she forgot to dust.
On Wednesday it was birthday cards,
She says that chalking is fun;
Shading, blending and water coloring,
But the laundry was not done.
Her card swap was Thursday,
Using green, blue and red;
I guess she really was engrossed,
But she never made the bed.
It was shaker cards on Friday,
Using techniques she just adores;
Bet she never seemed to notice,
The crumbs on all the floors.
I found a maid on Saturday,
My life is now complete;
My wife can stamp the house away,
The house will still be neat.
Well, ‘tis already Sunday,
And my forehead is feeling damp;
I fumed, I raved, I ranted,
The maid has learned to stamp!

Thanks For Dropping In!

You Never Know!

You never know when I'm going to show up on here!
After Christmas, I guess there just wasn't anything going on that I considered bloggable (is that a word?).
We had a great Christmas - we managed to spread it out quite a bit!
Now, I guess you could say that we've settled back into our normal routines - Mom got some of her scrapbooking supplies organized in her new storage unit. Dad built a set of shelves in the basement, so now we have some more storage space. I've been trying to do some organizing myself besides working my regular job.
We went to an auction today for a little while. We didn't get a whole lot - the stuff was going pretty high. Among my purchases was a box of cassette tapes - it looks like I got some pretty good ones there.
You may also be happy to know that I've removed the Christmas songs from the music player at the side of my blog and I rearranged the other ones!
Thanks For Dropping In!
