Before we get to John Jones, let's talk crumpled flowers. Some of you wanted to see how I made the flower on the Wanted tag. Here's a video Tutorial, and the finished tag with the flower I made. The stickles are still wet, that's why they look a little gloppy, but they dry awesome!
OK, John Jones. You may have easily gotten Lindsay in your good graces, but me..... well let's just say that I have a lot more experience with men. (Afterall, Lindsay sells scrapbooking supplies to women all day.) It's this experience I speak of that has led me to be less than trusting of the male species and since I'm a skeptic by nature anyway, you kind sir, are gonna have to work a little harder to win me over!
When I read your initial response, my gut didn't say, "Awwww, how sweet." Nope, not me. I thought, that's a competitive women, getting her hubby to comment to double her chances. Why would I think such a thing? Because it's just what I would do!!! But, the thought was sweet and so I played along. Then....... day # 2's comment. Well, it seamed sort of "Eddie Haskel-ish" to me. You know that too sweet to be true sort of feeling! Not only are you claiming to read up on her hobby, you are claiming to want to engage her in conversations about it. Is it just me, or does this seem like something a women would do? I have never heard of a man wanting more communication about anything.... especially his wife's hobby. Jaded, I know! Red flags went flying.
So, do you have any hope? What could a poor man like you do in order to sway me?
First, you must answer the following questions:
1. How long have you been married?
2. Are you a fan of Cricket the sport?
3. Do you have a Cricket cell phone?
4. Why do you need these brownie points?
5. What reward do you plan to cash these brownie points in for?
6. What kinds of paper flowers do you know how to make?
7. Does your wife know your username and password for commenting on blogs?
8. What name does your wife comment under?
9. Did she comment yesterday or on the prize post?
10. Do you like to embellish things?
But John, you can't just give me your answers. You must answer the questions on video, hooked up to a polygraph machine with Jack Bauer as the interrogater! Then, I may believe you, but no promises!!!
Will I give you a prize even if I don't believe you? Hmmmmm, I don't know. I'm fickle. What can I say, I'm a woman!
