MEN!!!

Oh dear, dearies, I hope that post title doesn't earn me a lot of clicks from unsavory types!

But really, what can a gal say, when confronted with these creatures, other than a dismissive snort and the word, "Men!"

I must have gotten 30 emails over the "parlor" post. Kind emails, and many with their own horror stories of men messing things up!

WHY do they do that sort of thing? WHO is raising them to be that way? All the moms I meet aren't raising their sons to become lordly dictators over their poor wives - is it just something in their genes?

Sometimes I read about wonderful guys - but the cynic in me says, "Is this for real?" and "I wonder when he'll show his TRUE colors..."

Ha!

Hmph. I guess we can just keep on keepin' on down that yellow brick road. Of course, if I look behind me, I can't see much yellow. The path is simply littered with ex's. Tee hee. That part's funny! But all the broken dreams left behind aren't so funny!

Hope your day is going well, wherever ye be, m'dears! I keep having a UFO premonition, so watch the skies!

Free Easter and Spring Tags

Gosh, things change so quickly. I went from mentioning my parlor to having no parlor, all in a few days. My husband turned the parlor into a fourth bedroom, closing in my bookshelves and turning that end of the room into a closet, and removing a door to make it have just one doorway. No more parlor now, just a tiny bedroom. My husband is very elderly, and very, very controlling.

Well, we can laugh in life, or we can cry. I did a lot of crying over the years and on the whole, it's time to laugh. No more parlor, ha ha! ha ha ha! That's me laughing.


Here is the link to a trio of larger tags and 3 smaller "layering" tags for you - celebrating Easter and spring. Easter is April 24th this year - a late Easter.

Here's the preview of the tags - these are more religious and not so secular as I usually make - don't save these, as they will print too small. Go download (FREE and COMPLETELY PROFESSIONAL) the real tags from sendspace.com. But click to get a better look at the tags! They will enlarge.

Freebie Sheet of Printable Hang Tags - Old-Time Labels

Life and blogging - I can't seem to get the two to meet up in any compatible way.

But here's a link to my pro account at sendspace.com, where I have placed a free sheet of old-fashioned hang tags featuring vintage-style labels or advertisements. May be cute to tie onto a cabinet knob in bathroom or kitchen or parlor.

DO NOT SAVE THE IMAGE BELOW- IT WILL PRINT TOO SMALL - GO TO THE LINK AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS POST INSTEAD and FETCH THE GOOD VERSION!!!

We have a tiny parlor and it's my most favorite room in the house. I dream of getting a tiny ol' house, one from the 1920's maybe, and living out my life there. High ceilings, butler's pantry, just some HISTORY to the place. Modern homes are certainly convenient, but gosh, they lack HEART, in my opinion.

Here's the link, and don't go trying to "open" it - you must SAVE it or you'll just get a blank page and it might make YOU start saying "blankety-blank, this durn so-called 'freebie' has got me mad!"

I'll keep the link up for a week or two...
