More Pink & Green

Can you tell I love pink and green together? I think every one of my cards this week has contained these two colors! I am definitely on a bright color kick. Enough of those boring, muted, deep, rich colors of winter. It's time to spice it up a little in the card department!

I brought this bird stamp set to the cabin with me last weekend because I hadn't used it in months. The designer paper that I used was my friend Lue's (remember, I forgot all my paper?????). I really like the paisley look of it!

I've done cards like this one before, except I added the photo squares in the corner and the scalloped sentiment this time. I like how it turned out, although I can't imagine making more than one of these....too much work! I need simple, easy, non-complicated designs when I'm trying to stock up my personal stash.

For those of you who are interested, my interview went pretty well yesterday. I was a little rusty, but the woman who was interviewing me was pretty laid back, so I don't think I got dinged for too much! She has another interview today, so if I don't hear from her by end of day today, I have to call her Wed, since she's leaving for a business trip either tonight or Monday. I can't remember.

I went bra shopping yesterday after my interview. I went to Nordstrom's where they have "professional" bra sizers (is that even a real job?) Can I just tell you, bra's are expensive??????????? Jeepers. The one I had chosen was $78, so after thinking about dropping that much money on one item, I put it back on the rack and left thinking I could just go to Kohl's instead and probably buy 10 bras for the price of the one I turned away from at Nordstrom's. Well, I did go to Kohl's after Nordstroms. I bought 2 bras (which I didn't try on first) and three pairs of underwear for $80, promptly brought them home and found out they didn't fit, even though I bought the size Nordstrom's had just measure me at. Go figure. Doesn't that just irk you? I wish the government would regulate clothing sizes and force all manufacturers to abide by them. What a waste of time. Now I have to bring the bras and undies BACK to Kohls and decide whether or not I'm going back to Nordstroms to buy the bra that costs a small fortune but fit perfectly, or go TRY on other bras at Kohl's? The key here would have been to try on the bras at Kohl's before I purchased them, but please, I had just done that at Nordstrom's and didn't feel like stripping down AGAIN in Kohl's. Since I wear a bra every single day, it's probably worth it to buy something that's high quality and fits perfectly. It makes perfect sense, but since we're short on cash these days, I thought I'd be frugal and try and get more for my money. I'm not sure that's such a great idea when it comes to a piece of clothing you wear constantly!

Well, have a wonderful day, I think spring has FINALLY arrived here in MN!!!!! Woo-hoo! Yesterday it was over 50, and I think by tomorrow we might have 60's! The sun is shining brightly in my eyes right now through my office window, and I love it! Hopefully it will melt all the snow away by the end of the weekend!

Hugs,
