Wednesday again and time for another of Mrs A's Bloomers so pull up a chair and stay a while.
Today I'm back at the same job as before but 5 yrs down the line and gone through a fair few bosses by now but that is not the main story.
The office I worked in was just a stones throw from the High St so it was very convenient to use you lunch hour for essential shopping! We had a 'Next' at the other end of the street to the office but if you got your skates on you could get down there and back in the hour. I had seen a dress the day before that I had my eye on and decided I'd go back for it the following day and try it on before buying (as you do). I had a Finance meeting to go to straight after lunch but reckoned I had plenty of time so off I sped. Yep they had the dress in my size so a quick whizz into the changing room to try it on. Hmm, did I didn't I . A twirl this way and that and yes I finally decided I would buy it. Gosh was that the time? A quick change, pay at the desk, grab my carrier and a mad dash back up the high street. Phew, made it just in time.
The meeting duly over I was back sitting at my desk when one of my colleagues walked past and then came back and stood in front of my desk, gave me a strange look and asked
"Why are you wearing your dress inside out???" .

You mean we're not supposed to show the pretty stitching and tags? lol! And I thought that was the point of the pretty stitches. Gorgeous card, lovely use of snippets - that image is fab Karen x
ReplyDeleteOh my...I wonder what the people in the meeting thought you were up to on your lunch hour!
ReplyDeleteGreat image on this card! She looks like a force to be reckoned with and I bet she never puts her dress on inside out!!!

Great story Mrs A and Such a beautiful card. Love that image and your fabulous design xx
ReplyDeleteI love my Wednesdays at Mrs. A's yarn shop! Just kidding, I know they are too funny NOT to be true and I love them! I wonder if you spark memories in others like you always do in me. Sharing is fun like that and so are trips down memory lane. Hope you are feeling better, Mrs. A! Big hugs! xxoo Darnell
ReplyDeletePS Love your stickeroo and goosey cards in your prior posts, too!!

ReplyDeleteLovely card. I saw it on Make it Monday. I enjoyed your story. Thank you for the laugh.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing a laugh and of course your lovely card too!! Fab digi stamp & design. Hugs Ann xx
ReplyDeleteJust had to hop in before I trot off to bed for my last decent sleep for a few nights. All packed and sorted here. You are having a finger wagged at you Mrs A - NO parties!!
ReplyDeleteLOVE you card and the tale does make me giggle - only you, as I've said before!
I think drop cutting as done by our lovely Mary Mac is what some folk refer to as 'gutting'. Am sure you do that - where you cut the middle out of card you're using for layers to make it go further?
Hugs, Di xx..........and BEHAVE!
a Ha how fabulous is this Mrs A well done .
ReplyDeleteThank you for joining us at our :
