Just Keep Swimming, Just Keep Swimming...- Fab Friday @ Tiddly Inks

Somehow, it being Friday today escaped me until this morning. So, I'm slightly late with my Fab Friday post. But, I do know what I was distracted by in order to forget that it was Fab Friday today and therefore I should have scheduled a post for 1:00am this morning.

It was a giant bag of Jujubes.

I'm talking about a Costco giant-sized bag of jujubes. And by giant-sized, I don't just mean the bag is really, really big, I mean that it's sized for an actual giant. A fairy tale giant, not like an Andre The Giant (may he rest in peace) giant, more like a Jack and the Beanstalk giant. And, even then, the giant probably wouldn't be able to eat it all in one sitting.

Not only was I distracted by the GSBOJ last night, I was really distracted by it this morning. See, I'm working from home today (for a bit anyways, I'm hoping to also get my craft on - fingers crossed!)......and working from home/being at home with a GSBOJ sitting near my right ear, with just a wall separating us, well, that's a recipe for....normally I'd say disaster, but it doesn't really qualify as disaster scale in the grand scheme of things. It's certainly a recipe for me repetitiously putting jujubes in my mouth until I have a stomach ache.

So, what's a person to do in a situation like this? Well, this is how I normally handle it. I go hide my eyes in the livingroom while I task my kids with hiding the GSBOJ somewhere in the house...."And, for crying out loud, hide them good so I can't find them!" And, problem solved.

Now, if I could just find where I hid my willpower, I'd be all set.

That was a very long intro for a card that has absolutely nothing to do with candy. But, here it is all the same....

Not sure if this is obvious from the picture but it's a hair gel card.  Man, I had a time making this!  All small plastic baggies are rectangle shaped, right?  But the bigger, more square ones, are kinda big for a card.  So, I ended up having to cut the sides off a bag, and then masking taping them shut once the gel was added.  I'm not completely confident with my baggie-taping job and I'm pretty sure it's going to blow hair gel out the side at some point.  Still, it looks pretty cool right now anyways.

I used Wryn Just Keep Swimming.  Yep, and now that I typed that (and my title) I'm going to have Dory's voice in my head for the rest of the day.  Finding Nemo was an absolute favourite of my middlest when he was a pre-schooler so I've seen it many, many, many times.  Have to admit, I wasn't too upset when Cars came along and knocked it out of his top spot.....always thought Finding Nemo was a touch dark at the beginning for little ones.  Though I grew up with seeing Bambi's mom get shot and that freaked-me-out scene in ET with all tents and ET all flaky white.....and I turned out all right.

Except for an extreme case of GSBOJ gluttony, that is.

If you need to distract yourself from a not-good-for-you indulgence why not go check out the rest of the Fabby Friday makes?  You can see 'em all right here.
