It's all his fault I have to go to the mall today.
I do not like shopping for clothes. Stamps, yes. Clothes, no.
How can I best punish him for this injustice? Suggestions?
Oh? Maybe you don't care about my first-world problems and would rather see some one-layer notecards that would make a lovely--and very quick--gift for someone.
I don't blame you. Cards are much more interesting than clothes.
The following cards were made with Papertrey's Happy Trails set. I made two of each, for eight cards total, which fit nicely into Papertrey's clear card set boxes.
Off to the mall. Wish me luck. I'm going to need it.
Best of luck at the mall then.
ReplyDeleteI had to go through this loop last year (and for the same reasons!!!) prior to a cruise - it was hell (the shopping ... NOT the cruise!!!)
Happy New Year to you and your family and readers/followers

I've been procrastinating making some holiday thank you cards that I need to send out. Thanks for the reminder that I can go CAS. Love your cards.
ReplyDeleteI totally understand your feeling about dress shopping especially formal attire. We have a wedding to attend in March and I need to buy a dress. Yikes.
Thanks for these ideas! When I started reading, I thought the card pictured first was for hubby to thank him for giving you an excuse for shopping. LOL
ReplyDeleteThis is probably too late for you this time, but my formal attire advice is to buy a black skirt and fancy or sparkly top instead of a dress. I have a long, floaty black skirt that I wear over and over--and it even has a stretchy waist, so it still fits as my weight goes up and down over the years. And then I can get a different top when I want. This route is much less expensive than buying a dress, and you can change up the look much more easily, instead of wearing the same dress over and over. You can often find a lace tee with sequins or glitter for not that much money. And you can wear the sparkly top with black pants or even jeans, for festive but less formal occasions.
ReplyDeleteHope you got the little black dress, Susan ... always a classic! Lovely cards ... thanks for the reminder of how clean and simple CAS is! Happy New Year! Anita :)
ReplyDeleteOuch! I feel for you. I am the same i do NOT like shopping for anything and formal is worse. Fo people still have black tie events? Bwwwhhhha..I try to bow out even at semi formal but sometimes a girls gotta do what they gotta do!! I hope it's a lovely time for you but usually I am at the thing thinking "I'd rather be stamping". Unless its good friends of course.
ReplyDeleteNow you know, I sure hope you have a photo for all of us, of the 2 of you all decked out! I am sure you will find the perfect dress~ :) Black tie affair - Oh La La~ Have fun!!
ReplyDeleteLOL, oh dear :( May the force be with you!
ReplyDeleteYour note cards are beautiful - lovely idea!
Lovely set of notecards, Susan!
ReplyDeleteHave fun shopping - I too hate shopping for clothes. It's one of the joys of my retirement - I no longer need fancier clothes for work and can spend the rest of my life in cords, jeans, sweaters, T-shirts, etc. (hopefully no-one will invite me to a formal event!!).
i am short too, guess that is why we despise shopping. i love to shop for stamps they all fit!! :D enjoy your time.
ReplyDeleteGood luck! I hope you find a lovely dress with fabulous shoes to match.
ReplyDeleteI think I saw you at Target today...but not dress shopping!
ReplyDeleteWell, I was at Target todaywith my boys! What Target were you at?
DeleteNear the Dayton Mall. In town with my daughter and friend to reserve party stuff for an August wedding (we live near Richmond IN). My sister and I read your blogs, so I had to text her that I recognized you! Your boys are cute in real life too!
DeleteYou should have said hello!!!!
DeleteHope you had fun shopping! The note cards are great.
