I am so sick of this mess and you are right, those bushes look awful and where are the birds? Nuff said! Your card is fantastic, what a neat idea with the vellum.Mickiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05808743985279888887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6798914461149907138.post-76625845677336513052011-08-05T11:10:43.223-05:002011-08-05T11:10:43.223-05:00Poor lil finches....

Even FOOD, like canned pineapple, made in China on the can. What?! Ridiculous. This morning on ABC's Good Morning America I was informed we might have ANOTHER recession. Does anyone know when we got OUT of the 1st one? Perhaps they can ask all the unemployed people that question or the people who have lost thousands in stocks? ABC must reside in lala land because as far as my wallet and I are concerned, we never got out of a recession. That statement this morning just ticked me off. There are people who bought houses for $500,000 and now they're worth half of that. But, hey, the recession ended right? Hmm, don't think so.LORRAINEBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13512039429752565895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6798914461149907138.post-63083975562299916242011-08-04T14:28:27.264-05:002011-08-04T14:28:27.264-05:00So beautifully done Lydia.

It will make it to the top of my crafting to do list.<br />I hear you on the economy and cheap stuff. I try to avoid going to WalMart. Even tho things are very inexpensive there, everytime I buy somthing I think about the person (or, sadly) child, that had to work 10 hours at slave wages to make it. I would gladly pay a few dollars more for things so that they could be made in the USA.NancyKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14822023375049295371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6798914461149907138.post-65806193881855623352011-08-04T13:21:12.789-05:002011-08-04T13:21:12.789-05:00OH YES--this is a PET PEEVE of mine that's don...OH YES--this is a PET PEEVE of mine that's done on an even grander scale of ugliness ALONG OUR HIGHWAYS in GA!! are you kidding me?!? how in the ever-lovin' world were you EVER convinced that taking a mower and rotating it on its side and shearing off tree limbs and bushes with it would be MORE ATTRACTIVE?!?! you go, girl! i'll vote for you as beautification director of austin! great card, too!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04687339205571651753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6798914461149907138.post-5595668167284926982011-08-04T10:26:01.988-05:002011-08-04T10:26:01.988-05:00my hubs went out of business. he couldn't comp...my hubs went out of business. he couldn't complete w/the scalp & run companies. He wanted to do quality work for small businesses and homeowners. he had a few accts that would pay late or bother him on his time at their house. the small biz accts were lost to the scalp & runs.<br />boo. hiss. that is not landscaping. it's butchering with no thought or care in methods of pruning for proper growth. grrr.<br /><br />on another note. I love that card! :)stampylisahttp://cupcakebreath.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6798914461149907138.post-3387691290993310742011-08-04T10:10:47.527-05:002011-08-04T10:10:47.527-05:00I agree with your landscaping statement.

It drives me crazy when landscapers smother the base of tree trucks with mulch....it only sets up a home for pests and disease. <br />Now on to that lovely card.<br />It is so pergamano - ish .

Unfor...I think you've hit the nail on the head. Unfortunately it's a neverending cycle as the lack of good jobs and pay leads to people not being able to buy quality goods and then it all just gets worse. Of course, if the government would consider making doing business here at home more lucrative instead of just watching corporations slide away, that wouldn't hurt either. All in all it's a frustrating situation... and one that makes me change the channel on the news every time anymore. lol<br /><br />In other news?
