I love to make cards but found myself often spending way too much money at the craft and scrap-booking stores. We all know about buying on sale and from the clearance bins, as well as the yard-sales, thrift stores, and the dollar stores for cheaper craft items.

The ones they stuff in them with the information to subscribe to the magazine. They all seem to have a boarder. I cut this boarder out and insert a piece of white paper or cardboard and use it for postcards or put it by my phone and list phone numbers in it and have also used it for matting for around pictures.

I just do not think that people see the irony in what they are doing when the husband says "I can not find a job," or "I don't make enough money," as a reason to send his wife to work. If a man cannot find a job, why is it that a woman can?
