She learned to stamp on Monday
Her embossing was quite fine.
She forgot to set out dinner,
So we went out to dine.

She brayered backgrounds Tuesday
She says they are a must.
They really were quite lovely
But she forgot to dust.

On Wednesday it was birthday cards
She says that chalking's fun.
Shading, blending, and watercoloring...
But the laundry wasn't done.

Her card swap was on Thursday
Using green and blue and red;
I guess she really was engrossed,
She never made the bed!

It was shaker cards on Friday
Using techniques she just adores,
But she never seemed to notice
The crumbs on all the floors.

I found a maid on Saturday!
My week is now complete
My wife can stamp the hours away;
The house will still be neat.

Well, it's already Sunday,
And my forehead's feeling damp.
I cursed, I raved, and I ranted--
The MAID has learned to stamp!!!

also found on ebay- USA that people are selling some good (some naff!!!) scrapbook 'sticker poems'...and the daft souls have typed up the poems into their listings...so all we have to do is 'copy'n'paste' them ...choose a font...colour etc and away we go...some graet 'free poems'

I have been obsessively (so what's new!) hunting for poems etc...as i think some of my 'frilly' cards will 'fit' sentimental stuff...but was getting 'issed off as i kept finding the same stuff on different websites... so this 'scrapbooking' stuff i found was 'refreshing' ...and i reckon if i 'google' now for the stickers ...i will find more 'new' poems!!!!

Hmmmmm...yes obsessed is an understatement!!!

(i sent coppertop that baby card i put in the gallery...and found a humourous 'pregnancy' poem....that is what started me off on this 'quest'!!!)

Classic case of perseveration then my dear....join the club

Ive learnt to cheat now....run around the house spraying febreeze on everything and then a couple of squirts of Mr Sheen in the air and hey presto the house smells like Ive been busy all day....luckily he never ventures into my den so doesnt get to see the pile of cr@p thats covering the floor...I seriously am wading through a sea of card off cuts and got I a brad embedded in my heel tonight(OUCH!!)

question is...is it possible to be tidy when making cards????

(i found a 'stringy-glue-thread' from my glue gun.....hanging off my ceiling saucepan rack!!!!

(how the heck did i manage to do that!!!!!!?????)
