Another draining, emotional day yesterday was. Layoffs SUCK. I shed tears for this lady yesterday - she has been with the company almost 30 years - I would guess she's about 50. She's dying. Yes, DYING. She's on dialysis waiting for a kidney transplant, and she just went blind in one eye. She's not married....no kids...her father died a few months ago, her mother passed about 10 years ago and she has no siblings. And now, the one thing she had to keep her mind off of all her *stuff* was taken away from her because we let her go. My God. I saw her leaving in the morning with tears running down her face...just...so very sad.

Anyway - so I made bunches of Easter cards this past weekend - still playin' with my pom poms. HOWEVER - these cards no longer exist. The pom poms apparently don't stick with AdTech, they probably need Tombow glue - they started to shrivel inwards and then the edges curled up...just a mess. I pressed and pressed, I have this heavy tool on my desk that I pressed on them, and no, these bad boys wanted to ruin my day. So, I tore these cards apart, saved the embossed cardstock part and the back of the card to use on a scrap card someday. This is not my week, I tell ya'. So - take a good look at these cards now - because you'll never see them again - ha!
Peace in your 'hood, Girls.

Well, you can't win 'em all. At least you gave the pompoms a try. I love the embellished paper, though.
Well - they were cute while they werea live...peace be with you pom poms!
They were cute while they lasted. I'm so glad you are making use of the pieces. :) It's the tree hugger in me. All parts must be reused in some way.
I am very glad you still have your job, told you they couldn't live without you around.
Awww, that's so sad for that lady! :( What a horrible thing to have happen on top of everything else she endures.
Too bad about your cards. Better luck w/ the other adhesive.
They were cute while they lasted. :) hugs!
I love these cards...I need to get that folder.
