Yes I know, the last review was stationary too...
and amazing, right?
Naughty... silly... etc...
But Gramkin Paper Studio is just straight up...
on the rocks... no sugar rim... funny...
To tell you my favorite would be impossible...
I just can't... This shop is genius...
Lets start with their line of Courtesy Cards...
Ya know when you FINALLY get a break from the kids...
and you sit down at Caribou to sip a coffee...
or maybe at the local Market to pick up a few things...
and just when you start to appreciate the quiet...
there they are... someone elses kids...
screaming, yelling... throwing stuff...
*You think... I COULD HAVE StAYED HOME TO HEAR THIS!!*
I have your solution... ;)

A wonderful way to ask for peace and quiet...
from one mommy to another... haha

Now... for you "all occasion" type needs...
when your not quite sure what to say...
you totally need the Lil' Bitch Box...
You can do a mix pack of 5 each of your favorite 2 designs...
OR - my choice... would totally be the random grab bag of 10...
because they're all amazing... you can't go wrong with that...

I could go on and on and on about all my favorite stuff from her shop.
And, when she aggreed to do a review/giveaway I was thrilled...
Why? Because its all so awesome...
Lucky me, I got to try out their Fathers Day Card...
and lucky you... you might get one too!
Its perfect... Zaq and I are always so silly with each other...
we have 2 boys, 11 months apart... and things here...
well, sometimes they are just pure insanity...
so this card is TOTALLY the perfect fathers day card for him.
I can't wait until he sees it!
There is no better way than this... to say... Daddy We love you...
Thanks for not leaving :) hahahahahahaha

A rad pack of 10 "Cut That Shit Out" note cards...

Note to Self Saturday: Keep your mouth shut!! You WILL jinx yourself...

I want to preface this blog by using the definition of "jinx":Jinx\, n. A person, object, influence, or supernatural being which is supposed to bring bad luck or to cause things to go wrong.

Now - for my story...
Ya know "they" always say - if its too good to be true, it probably is...
Or... if your toddlers being good at a restaurant, you NEVER say it outloud...
you dare even THINK it, because the second you do... expect a meltdown. Or, wow... I sure have gotten the house really clean today - just then, a tornado blows through your living room... and only YOUR living room. Or maybe even, yeah, it sure has been a swell day today right honey? Just then your mother in law calls and announces her surprise visit... for a week... and shes staying your spare bedroom... wow, now thats bad luck... OR, ahem... a jinx... but I had one yesterday that will compete pretty well with that...

I was driving with the boys to Wal-Mart... I had to pick up a few things...
Poly-Fil, Printer Ink, Vaccuum bags... a viberator and some lube, wait what!?
No no... i just made that part up...
that would definitely make the story more interesting though!
Now that your listening... ill continue...
... had to pick up a few things...
while on my way, I was thinking of what I would blog about for...
"Note to Self Saturday"....
and I was totally stumped...
*heres where it all went bad*
I thought - wow... I havn't really done anything stupid this week...
*GASP!*
So I got to wal-mart...
grabbed all my goodies...
(including a $9 eco-friendly toddler potty to keep in the sewing studio for potty training... I recommend one in every room)
I put the potty under the cart and proceeded to the checkout...
They nice lady while giggling with the boys rang me up...
and I put the potty back under the cart.
Just then, I realized I left my wallet in the car in my other bag.
OOPS! Silly me...
So I tell her Ill be right back, she holds my items,
and off I go sprinting towards the door pushing the boys.
While running out of the door the alarm goes off...
*Lets remember... I have hot pink hair, a half sleeve of tattoos... and piercings...*
So the lady stops me and as Im running out, I remember... SHIT! The potty is down there.
I hand it to her, explain I have to get my wallet... etc.
Well, that wasn't good enough... 2 people came over.
Asked for my receipt. I pointed down the isle...
exlained the situation and said, my stuff is down there, I have to get my wallet ill be right back. Walk me out if you want.
Im here to spend over $100, why would I steal a $9 potty chair!!??
Finally they agreed and let me go...
While walking out the door... BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP...
it went off again...
I pulled everything out of my bags... my purse shook out the kids blankets, etc.
At this point, I have a gathering of gawkers... (A month ago zaq bought me a pack of tongue rings from walmart...
Well, today - it was setting off the alarm. I dont know why...
ive been there a ton of times since... except for, the jinx...
So I pulled it out, handed it to her...
again... asked wehre my receipt was.
I had no clue... it was a month ago!
Finally after an almost 15 minute process...
the security lady realized that you had to get those out of the case and pay at the jewelry counter... adn they let me go...
I ran out, got my wallet... paid...
and hauled butt home with my VERY crabby babies at that point...

Recap:
15 minute trips can go terribly wrong when mixed with a jinx... always, always wear your jinx cup... (like a nut up, but better)

Note To Self:
When things are going good KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT!!! You WILL jinx yourself... Dont say it.. dont even think it... just go with it... also, when making a Bee-line to the wal-mart door... be sure your not "stealing" anything...

I Need You: Tell me your funniest, most horrible Jinx that you can remember

Dunno what to say? Say it with SEX! NEW GIVEAWAY!

Cat got your tongue?
Just can't find the right words to say?
Well, say it with sex...
Were moms, were busy...
we dont have time for all that romance stuff...
The whispering sweet nothings in our significant others ear...
Just not always gunna happen...
Slip a little sex in daddy's lunchbox...
so he knows when the babies go down... its go time. ;)
"Now... lets cut to the chase before the toddler wakes up..."

Sex is always good...
makeup sex.... breakup sex....
im sorry sex... special occasion sex....
well, HotTaTasFaktory has got you covered...
She has everything you could ever need to get your point across...

Say it sweet and subtle with...
"Every time i think of you"

"I get really really horny...

Or, perhaps a little more obvious is your style?
Then the sex positions card is for you...


Can't pick just one?
Got ya covered there too...
she has a few different 3 packs... of cute little mini cards...
packed just as full of sex as the big cards...
my personal favorite is this pack.


Now, if your REALLY feeling frisky...
you gotta snatch ...
anyways... you gotta snatch up the pirate coupons...
There are all sorts of super naughty orders to be handed out.

hmmm... may just have to get me some of those... ;) ;) ;)

Now, the question you may have... what do the men think of these?
Zaq Zrust (my fiance and baby daddy) took a gander at one...

he said, "that Lets Buck card makes me wanna run upstairs and get naked right now!
AND, its funny to boot!"
Speaking of which... did you know:
according to the hot mama behind HotTaTasFaktory...
"Laughter is one of the best aphrodisiacs"
So really, its like killing two birds with one stone...
your almost guaranteed to get some booty at the small price of $3.50 a pop.
How can you pass that up? Yeah, thats right... you cant :)

Can't spare the $3.50? Feel like paying for sex is wrong?
haha, just kidding... totally kidding...
