Good morning!  I just received this is an email and felt compelled to share!

We all know those cute little computer symbols called ‘emoticons,’ where:
means a smile and
is a frown.
Sometimes these are represented by

-(

Well, how about some ‘ASSICONS?’

Here goes: 

(_!_) a regular ass
(__!__) a fat ass
(!) a tight ass
(_*_) an asshole
{_!_} a swishy ass
(_o_) an ass that’s been around

(_x_)  kiss my ass
(_X_) leave my ass alone
(_zzz_) a tired ass
(_E=mc2_) a smart ass
(_$_) Money coming out of his ass
(_?_) Dumb Ass

I’m still on a search for creativity break, but I’ll be back by Monday!  Mojo is still in Aruba!

As my title indicates, there have been some changes on the BAD Side over the last week.  Sometimes change happens around you that you don’t like, and then sometimes you need to make changes for yourself that you hope are good.  When I decided to leave full-time work as a legal secretary some 15 years ago, I was scared but knew in my heart that things would be okay.  They were!  I’ve never given a second thought that I didn’t make the right decision for my family then.    With that being said, there are more changes today, besides my decision to leave Stampin’ UP! earlier last week. 

I have worked with Rubbernecker Stamps for over 2 years now and have enjoyed every minute of it.  I am honored that I was given the opportunity to work with Dave and Pat, the owners of Rubbernecker, and to work with such an excellent design team.  I love you girls like my sisters!!!  However the winds of change have blown in, and today I am leaving the Rubbernecker family and moving on to wherever and whatever new paths might lead me.  One must seek their own adventures and I know there are plenty more to be had!

I hope you all have a fabulous day, and thanks for stopping by today!

There was a post made this morning on the Rubbernecker Blog that the Wacky Wednesday Challenges are being discontinued and the team was going to take some time off.  Please understand that I did not write this post, and this was not my decision.  If you have any questions or comments, please contact Dave at Rubbernecker Stamps.  Thanks!

As I write this post my heart is heavy and I’m really quite depressed.  Due to circumstances beyond my control, all of my scheduled classes have been cancelled.  I’m terribly sorry if you have already enrolled in some of them, please request a refund from Rubber Stamp and Scrapbook Expo.  Where I go from here, I don’t have a clue . . . it’s been a pretty tough week to say the least.

EDITED TO ADD:  This was not my decision and everything is great with my family.  No worries there!

Good morning all!  I’m running rather late today as I crawled out of bed at 9:30 and I’m still on my first cup of coffee.  I had Stamp Club last night, and after yesterday’s Stampin’ UP! announcement, I had to inform my club that it was their last, that I was resigning from SU and moving on.  Luckily they all understood and I believe one of them will be stepping forward and continuing with club.  Anyhoo, it was a rather stressful day here yesterday and I was rather worn out after club left.

It is Rubbernecker WACKY WEDNESDAY and Bev is the hostess this week.  Please check out the Rubbernecker Blog for all the deets on the challenge and play along with us.  Don’t forget that everyone who links a card will receive a 10% discount on their Rubbernecker order . . . just use the code ww at checkout.

I’ll be back later after a pot or two of coffee!

Oh and by the way, if you are a Stampin’ UP! Demonstrator and I have you listed in my blog roll and you want to be removed, please let me know.

EDITED TO ADD:  For all curious about the changes, this link provides excellent details:
