me and my bad hair day...

i planned to spend the whole day beavering away in my studio...but alas it did not go as i had hoped. i think the problem started early on because i had chosen to dress in an outfit the same color as a 'Nestle Mint Aero chocolate bar'...proceeded by a hairstyle that would have made any bird happy. we have run out of conditioner in our house...not surprising as i have two teenage daughters. Instead of going to buy a new bottle, my man insisted that we use up every little bottle of stuff in the cupboard first.

now i am sure all you lovely ladies out there realize that if you pay a ridiculous amount for your hair, that you also have to buy the right product to put on it! my man says that isn't true...how he would know is beyond me, after all the minute his hair grows beyond an inch he claims it is attacking him and i have to razor it all off...

so he hands me a large bag full of all those samples you pick up in hotel rooms...do not be under the impression that i spend a lot of time loitering in hotel rooms. oh no, this is what my man brings back when he has travelled on business trips...i knew it was risky and i have learnt yet another valuable lesson. hotel shampoo and conditioners do not help you if you have a tendency to frizzy, fried hair...they contain some unique formula that doubles the thickness and volume of your hair so that it is completely unmanageable and you stand a good chance of losing your car keys, purse, even a small child in it..

i think the outfit, mixed with the hair issues was enough to cause my lack of creativity, but added in there was the problem of waking at two in the morning in a cold sweat saying "crap" because i realized the order i had placed for 'one thousand business cards' late last night, is missing one vital ingredient, the address of my etsy store...

so there we go, try as i might i could not seem to apply myself today...i did do a bit of this, a bit of that and of course some of these. but it was all a bit of a struggle...

on another note (in the vain hope of distracting myself from the 'business card' horror) i give you a package, that landed on my doorstep yesterday afternoon...it was sent from the lovely Luna1171 aka Laura, who had scoured her local thrift store and sent me a ton of slips she had found...

i really do wish i lived near Laura, not only does she seem to possess a lovely and kind spirit, which i hope would rub off on me, but she also has a wonderful knack of finding great bargains while thrifting...like this sewing machine, it is just so perfect even down to the color blue..and if i lived near her, she might let me look after it for her every now and then

and one last thing, i have a cyber pal ( i know, i actually have a few now...it sounds so exciting)...i love to read the comments she leaves and the emails she sends...she is witty, she is blunt and she makes a mean cupcake...gigibird this is for you..."squeak"
