It started innocently enough… Sgt Saldanha mentioned one night in briefing how he used to work for UPS in the warehouse. Me, wearing my normal brown shirt or brown pants or something brown somewhere, blurted out “Oh- my dream job is to deliver for UPS!” This took everyone by surprise, as they’ve worked with me as a dispatcher for 17 years now. Did they really think this was my dream job? LOL- silly men. Since then, my long time friend Gerald (we double-dated at the high school prom, now we work together 20+ years later and NO, i’m old but not THAT old!), greets me with “What can Brown do for you?”.
Kim, another co-worker/personal friend/stamping buddy, also knows of my love affair with UPS. I mean, how can anyone hate a guy wearing brown shorts, showing off tan legs and bringing GIFTS? As a Stampin’ Up! demo- (demon, as i frequently tend to type), I see a lot of Anthony- the UPS God who delivers my route. Funny thing about Anthony- he also delivers to my sister on his commercial route- he gets around. It’s okay. I love him anyway. Kim presented me with a gift bag, snuck into my locker while I was away last weekend- inside: a UPS die cast airplane and a UPS hat- courtesy of her close friend who is a safety manager for UPS. Incidentally, UPS has never had a fatal road accident, or plane crash. So I guess her friend is doing his job. In my mailbox at work, Gerald put a UPS pen. I have GREAT friends!!!
And now for a Challenge card. There is a Dirty Dare challenge going on at SCS to celebrate 3 years of the Dirty Girl Fan Club. So current and former Dirty Girls are inviting us to get dirty with them.
For SweetMissDaisy/aka Anna Wights challenge- Animals, and for Genie1314/aka Jen’s sketch challenge, I humbly present you my first (and only until next week- another weekend away- this time- Scrapbook Getaway at a beach house!) Dirty Girl card:
This is done on Purely Pomegranate Textured cardstock – it’s a 5×5 card. Then I used Old Olive textured cardstock. Basic Grey Phoebe is the Bird panel, Wally the cat and the flower panel. Purely Pomegranate double stitched ribbon finishes it off. The Wally panel is raised on dimensionals. The sentiment “Happy Birdie to you!” is from AmuseArtsStamps. This is also a swap card- so I’m making 6 of these, plus a couple extra for me!!
