If you call, they will answer

The day after I posted the OSF's funny about people in the scrapbook biz, I found this in my email:

Hi. I saw your blog post. I wanted to check to see if anyone from Making Memories had contacted you for help.
Let me know.
Thanks

This was from Jenny. From Making Memories. 

Since then I've been in contact with the service department at MM, and my Slice is back up and working (with the exception of tiny designs that still distort a little bit, but really, that's just nitpicking right now). 

Who would've thought posting a quirky comment from the OSF would get me such a quick answer!

Thanks, Jenny, Ashley, and Making Memories!

The funny for today...

So Chris overheard me leave a message at Making Memories, about my awesome wonderful beautiful amazing Slice die-cutting machine... that is suddenly not working properly. I had received a ticket number when I contacted them via the website a few weeks ago, but when I hadn't heard anything, I went to check the status of the number, and it said the ticket number had been completed and closed. 


I was sad about this.


So I called and left them a message explaining the situation. And when I got off the phone, Chris piped up with this:


"You know, I bet it would be really great to work at a scrapbooking company."


To which I replied, "RIGHT?! WOULDN'T IT?! IT'S MY DREAM!!!" Because, see, I didn't realize his statement was a) facetious, and b) leading to something else.


He continues:


"Because all day long you'd get people calling with (switch to girl voice), "Um, hi! So sorry to bother you, and I hope you're having a great day and all, but I have a problem with my scrapbooking machine, and, um, see it won't cut out my star! And really, all I want is to go back to my scrapbooking! And I really, really love your products, so hopefully you can help me fix this star problem please?"


Touche, OSF. Touche.


But, um, seriously, Making Memories? If you end up reading this, I would really love it if I could cut things out again. Pretty please?

I heart scrapbooking

I got a really fun toy last week.

The Making Memories Slice.

It is amazing.

Basically it cuts out everything I want for me.

I like things that do menial tasks for me.

So in honor of my new fun toy, here are two recent paper scrapbooking pages (as opposed to the digital route I've been going lately).

First one: Me and the OSF

Second one: Ryan and I on an infamous friend date.

Some scrapbooking goodness

Been getting that creative urge again lately. Hope I can find some time soon in between new jobs and boyfriends ; ) to get back into this more regularly.

1:. On being 24 for one last day...

2:. On the adventure of turning 9....

3:. On best road trips ever... (this is my layout that was in July's Creating Keepsakes, by the way. Not at all one of my favorite layouts, but if they're going to pay me for it, I certainly don't mind!)

4:. On taking a day trip to Julian in January... and finding awesome brick wall backgrounds!

This one's for you, Katelyn!

Perfect lighting + willing friends (er, maybe not so willing in Brian's case) = fun in the backyard!

And, because Katelyn likes my "picture memory things" I made one for her. :) Here's a compilation of some fun shots from our impromptu backyard shoot.
