Sunday's Featured Stamper

Today's featured stamper over on SCS is Mary, aka Petal Pusher. She has a super fun gallery. I loved all of her cards, but I loved this one the most. It is so simple(took me five minutes to make this card from first cut!!) and so cute!! I stamped the chick from the Gina K. set Just So Hoppy designed by the wonderfully talented Melanie Muenchinger. I colored it with my Barely Banana and Apricot Appeal markers. The paper is all from the prints pack, which is a Stampin'Up first level hostess set. I started with Apricot Appeal, then Bashful Blue& Whisper White. Three white brads in the bottom corner and a bashful blue striped ribbon tag and done!! I am so happy to get to stamp, I had a long day. I kept my nieces this weekend(since Thursday), if you didn't already know, and I have to say, I am EXHAUSTED!! I do want to tell a story about this weekend though so here goes. I took my two youngest nieces, who I kept from Thursday to Saturday, to McD's to play on Friday. We were there forever because I got sidetracked by another lady that was there who gets to talk to other adults about as much as I do(that's the polite way to say she talked A LOT!!). We had to have been there for over two hours, and they were exhausted. I needed to go to the store, so we loaded up, drove across the street and got out of the truck to go into the store. My niece Madison, who just turned 4, told me she had a headache(apparently code for something completely different but I will know next time). So, while we were in the store, we ran through the medicine aisle and got a bottle of Children's Motrin(my god that stuff is expensive). The three of us walked up to the checkout and there were two registers going, each with at least 4 people in line. So, we got in line, and then I heard her make a funny noise. I looked down, her eyes got big, she covered her mouth, and I asked her what was wrong. She uncovered her mouth long enough to spew her lunch all over the floor!! At first, I stood there dumbfounded, then she started crying. I was trying to console her, all the while thinking, how the heck am I going to clean this up. I looked around for help, and no one would look at me. I asked the girls at the register if they had any paper towels, nothing. I then had to leave my two nieces, my arm full of goodies, a pile of yuck, and run to the paper goods aisle, take a roll of paper towels off the shelf and then run back. I cleaned up the mess, scooped up my niece, payed for my stuff, including the paper towels, and left. So why am I telling you all this you wonder, well here is why. The next time you see someone in my situation, or one very similar, try not to look away. 8 people in line, two check out girls, who knows how many workers, and no one could help me. That is just sad. To think I had to leave a screaming, sick kid by herself to go get paper towels, while every one just watched made me ashamed to even be a part of my community. Where have all the nice, kind, considerate people gone. I can remember working at a convenience store and having to help people out, but I was glad to do it. If I had been a bystander, I would have never let the mother(or Aunt in my case) go get the paper towels or whatever, I would have got them for them. Please ladies(and gentlemen), tell me I'm not alone. I know you all probably don't want to hear all of this, but hopefully someone will read this, and decide not to look the other way. Thanks for looking, and reading , and for all of your support. Have a great day and be kind to one another!!
