The 'Deeply MADLY in Love' card is highlighted and this 100% Recycled LOVE pack is sure to get the message across to your significant other. See below! Hope you all are having a great week so far. I finally got to go see 'CloverField' last night and was pretty impressed. It was much better then I thought it would be. Recommend it !!!!

Colorful Versions of the UK

Hope everyone is having a SUPER duper nice weekend so far! Its so nice to just relax at home, away from the busy streets on the weekends! I was going to go to see 'CloverField' today, but quickly changed my mind when I saw the loooong line! Oh well, maybe next time. Shot my UK card collection today, here's a pic of the pack of cards currently available via: MadeByGirl. This 100% RECYCLED card pack retails for $11.00 and brings all 4 designs along with some white envelopes! (Blank inside)

YELP !!

Storefronts can be just as interesting and unique as the interior of the stores. I know I'm always drawn to cozy and colorful looking ones. The window displays always help to catch my eye, so business owners, make sure you have some good stuff in your windows. I got these cool images from Yelp - this site is awesome (its basically a review site for businesses, very helpful) you can search for many types of businesses throughout the U,S. and many of them even have pictures like you see here. I spent such a loooooong time on this site, I lost track of time! Maybe some of you recognize these stores??

WAS COMPLETELY KIDDING

I can't believe that a reporter and a few other people (including a friend's concerned dad) thought it is serious that I went for a SEX CHANGE?!?!?!

HONESTLY PEOPLE! Like, a real sex change? With a synthetic penis from a Thai vengeful housewife? Using my new penis to TYPE??!

Which part of those sound even slightly conceivable?!

The reporter was all like asking my managers:

"Why did she get a sex change?"

"How long has she felt this 'manliness' for?"

"How much did it cost?"

"Why did she finally decide to do it?"

KUAKUAKUA!!

Anyway, now for the truth.

The truth to why I haven't blogged for so long.

IT IS BECAUSE....


I AM ACTUALLY A DINOSAUR (disguised as a human) AND DINOSAURS HAVE BETTER THINGS TO DO.


I mean, honestly... If you were a T-rex like me, transported through time to come live in 2008, would you just stay at home and blog all day long? I mean, during MY time, all there was to do is to chew up little dinosaurs and roar and roar! IT'S SO FUCKING BORING I TELL YOU.

Now, I can play video games, go online, shop for clothes, get mistaken for an SPG etc... GOT LOTS TO DO!

I do miss my dinosaur pals though... Roarer the T-rex, Jennifer the lovely swooping bird sort of dino (sorry I can't spell the names you human scientists gave us, and if I use dinosaur language you guys can't understand me), and even Jimmy! Jimmy looks like Barny except green! I totally miss him whenever I see Barny.

So yup. Stop hounding me or I will transform back into my fearsome T-rex self and bite your heads off.

I mean it! I'm totally a dinosaur and it is totally believable! What do you mean this is even a taller tale than the sex change? It's totally true and I'm hurt from your baseless accusations.

Does it make a difference ???

With so many awesome and creative companies out there I'm VERY curious what most people think of packaging. When I order something online I LOVE getting it in a pretty or creative package, just makes it that much better! To me, it shows a certain amount of effort was put into it, and I appreciate that. I'd love to hear what other people have to say about this.

These pics are from packaging I place my cards in. For all of my greeting cards, I use brown kraft paper (recycled) and hemp twine! Any thoughts on how packaging makes you feel when you receive a product? Does this type of effort from a store make a difference to you?? Shop at: MadeByGirl.
