When I say I have no card mojo.....

do you believe me now??????

the previous cards were

according to a recipie!!

this is what happens when I am

left on my own to create

a card without

guidance...

I am not embarrassed

I just thought you might like a

good chuckle!!

this last one is dear to my heart...

I am a sucker for misting!!

and the 3rd circle is a mirror

so do you believe me now

I have no card mojo?????

Words for Women to Live By

1. Aspire to be Barbie -

the bitch has everything.

2. If the shoe fits -

buy them in every color.

3. Take life with a pinch of salt...

A wedge of lime, and a shot of tequila.

4. In need of a support group? -

Cocktail hour with the girls!

5. Go on the 30 day diet.

(I'm on it and so far I've lost 15 days).

6. When life gets you down -

just put on your big girl panties and deal with it.

7. Let your greatest fear be that there is no PMS

and this is just your personality.

8. I know I'm in my own little world, but it's ok.

They know me here.

9. Lead me not into temptation,

I can find it myself.

10. Don't get your knickers in a knot;

it solves nothing and makes you walk funny.

11. When life gives you lemons -

turn it into lemonade then mix it with vodka.

12. Remember, wherever there is a

good looking, sweet, single or married man there is

some woman tired of his bullshit!

13. Keep your chin up,

only the first 40 years of parenthood are the hardest.

14. If it has Tyres or Testicles it's gonna give you trouble.

15. By the time a woman realizes her mother was right,

she has a daughter who thinks she's wrong.

I felt I needed to share this with you.....
