Flairless Floozie Club

[bendipez]

This Flair thingie is driving me nuts!! Every Flair I put together looks like a blind monkey did it!! Then I look at all the wonderful goals everyone has and feel like a slacker scrapper. My goal is to just get my purchases downloaded before the link expires. So I'm going to embrace my flairlessness and be a flairless floozie(forgot who in the granny thread came up with the name) who's ready to join me???

[Margie]

love that name!!! and you know, i only did my flair so there would be a few up on the first when we announced it! i've not had time to stop and think about goals or make it pretty!!! maybe one day. (but don't tell anyone, i'm trying to set a good example, k?) :D

[swatkins56]

I'm a floozie, too. When I got back to work from Christmas vacation I was slammed, and I leave Friday to celebrate my Dad's birthday with him in L.A. So I'll get to my flair - someday. Maybe after I send out my Christmas cards.

Thanks for starting the club. Think we should make a piece of flair for it?

[jestep]

i like the flairs, but i probably wont do one. i dont even think i am noncomformist. i think i am lazy. and, my goal is to stay that way.

[sailingsue]

Oh Brenda! What a great idea!!!! I only wish I had seen your club before I spent multiple hours trying to come up with a flair. I would have joined immediately!!!

[KrystalW]

I am flairless. I can also be a floozy...so I spose this is the place for me.:)
I may get one organised one day, but for now, I need to stop procrastinating and get out of my scrapping rut.

[Leslie]

Oh Brenda! What a great idea!!!! I only wish I had seen your club before I spent multiple hours trying to come up with a flair. I would have joined immediately!!!

I'll say. Me too! :(
And I'm the one who had to turn off her signatures so that I could just read the forum posts without getting distracted by those shiny flair thangs! :love2:

[webfrau]

I'm not flairless just goal-less. Does that make me half as bad! :)

[Muma]

I'm not flairless but I don't care, I'm still gonna come in and say hi :D

[evergreen100]

. i think i am lazy. and, my goal is to stay that way.:rofl::rofl::rofl: :rofl::rofl::rofl: I think I just found a soul sister:D:D

Thanks for starting the club. Think we should make a piece of flair for it?
:rofl::rofl::rofl: :think::think::think:... a slight conflict of interests here maybe????

I am currently a Flairless Floozie, mainly for the same reason that jestep is...maybe Ill get round to it one day...but not the goal setting...Im definitely allergic to goal setting:) I like jesteps goal and Freda has one I like too, ie: No Goals:D:D

[Leslie]

Um, mine's under investigation.

[GailS]

I have a flair, but no goals. I don't do well with goals. I just like the idea of not having a million links in my siggie, because I always have trouble with that too! So I'm a half slacker like Julia I guess!! :D

[stitchmich]

haha! Thanks, Brenda. I feel so much better now that I can be a floozie!

[tif_gerber]

You ladies are cracking me up! I have flair and goals but it sure sounds like I'd have way more fun hanging around this group :)

[Roberta T]

I'm flairless and goalless too. I'm not a rebel, just lazy. I definitely think a flair is a good idea, a hilarity of contradiction so to speak.

[Teresa]

Oh yeah, a forum for me. Yes, I am proud to be a flairless floozy. I can add that right under my pride of being a rusty bucket!

BRENDA! I am still laughing - blind monkey!!!! Bwaaaahahahaaa! You're a riot! And I love the flairless floozie club! Too funny! I could join - it took me forever to get mine done, and I still don't like the way it looks. But I"m leaving it... A resolution NOT to be too perfectionist for me! :) ;)

[SuzanneCWalker]

Oh, yeah, and goals..... uhmmmm, see my BLANK spot? I don't even know what to set goals ABOUT!!!

[Cathiemarie]

I'm Flairless and defo a floozie with no goals so I guess I qualify. Just haven't had chance to figure the Flair Cards out yet.

[kaybutler@mweb.]

It was ME !!!!!!!!:rofl::rofl::rofl: But YOU took the Floozies and RAN with it !!:rofl::rofl::rofl: DEFINITELY count me in !

[mariafer]

i like the flairs, but i probably wont do one. i dont even think i am noncomformist. i think i am lazy. and, my goal is to stay that way.

Hear! Hear! I like you too was also at one time avatarless also... I added mine in July for Christmas and July and I am so lazy I confused Santa thinking it was my Christmas avatar and december and will probably do so next year too :yahoo:

[DixieMama]

Floozie, I can do....flairless?? too late...I'm addicted to the shiney things! :lol:

[Leea]

I spend hours working on my flair, then found that was too big in my signature for me....I wanted room for some more layout images, etc, so I changed it to a Reminder Border :) I'm putting in flairs for challenges I want to remember that I'm doing (and a few for fun or because they're pretty and I like them :) ) I do like looking at flairs in other signatures and seeing what cool buttons, etc. that they have on their flares :)

[PQ FRAN]

Oh Bendi, you just crack me up!!!!! I am your BFF 'cause I too am a FF (flairless floosie!)!

[Bugs1]

Well, I've got flair and I've got goals (who wants to bet if I even get half of that done). However, I can guarantee that that little ticker will probably never get moved. ;) Does that make me a half FF? OH..that would make me an F.

[GrandmaCrys]

I thought I had Flair, then suddenly the *gods* struck it down to tiny. So, what does that make me? :think: :think: :think: Nevermind, I might not want to hear the answer! :lol: :lol: :lol:

You guys are a hoot, but where in the world is Sabina???:confused: :confused:

[shazzt]

Margie made me have a flair AND a goal! Hmm - maybe we should make a "Flairless Floozy" flair :)

[Ruby Rynne]

I was just coming to volunteer to make you all one :)

[Roberta T]

Well, I s'pose I should get right on it!

[Ruby Rynne]

Here's one:

http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/data/6680/flair_floozy.png

And for the Goal-less Wonders (fits standard goal buttons bar):

http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/data/6680/FLAIR_GOALFREEZONE.png

Think of these as placeholders... We *will* draw you in to Flairdom eventually. Resistance is futile, etc.

:)

[Ineke]

I am a flairless floozie and proud of it!! Maybe I am like Roberta, not so much a rebel but more lazy and not good at setting or keeping goals!!

[Roberta T]

Well, I was bored so I thought I'd try the flair thing. I can see why some people had problems, but I figured it out and wrote this little tut!!
I thought I'd write this little tut for those who have been having problems making a flair card (Sabina?). It's quite easy when you know how.

1. Open a New Document 480 pixels wide and 360 high by 72 ppi.

2. Open the Large Flair Buttons folder and bring both into your program and onto your New Document.

3. Open the Designer backgrounds you have chosen.

4. Right on the Designer background jpeg, using your rectangular marquee tool, select all across the page and about an inch down. Copy and paste. The Transform and reduce this to a very tiny piece. Bring this into your document and it will be a manageable size to work with. (When you close the backgrounds, DON'T SAVE LOL. Then just clip two different bg's onto the flair pieces just like any Quick Click.

5. A tiny drop shadow makes them stand out nicely. The ticker is a lot of layers. If you turn all of them off one by one you can see what you are working with and choose what you want.

I hope this helps!!

I still haven't finished, but, hey, for a lazy person, I'm quite proud of myself!!!

[omio]

Oh my poor mother must be spinning her grave to hear that I've become a floozy.

[evergreen100]

I saw it a few days ago, and my headache is still with me:D:D

[evergreen100]

Not sure if I still qualify for this thread now:D...look what happened to my siggie:eek:

[Lauri]

Oh, :wave: sign me up for the flairless club (still not sure about the floozie part :lol:)!! I haven't downloaded a single button, but they sure are pretty. I agree with all the goal-less people, it's just not in me to set/keep goals. But I may have to stick that goal free zone in my sig, it's perfect!! Thanks Ruby!!

Oh and I'm :rofl: about the theme day/week/month here! Did you see the January theme?? Playing catch up!! Yep, I'm doing that ALL the time!!

[bendipez]

Wow!!! I didn't think there'd be so many of us!!
I'm a (flairless)floozie
She;s a(flairless) floozie
Wouldn't you like to be a (flairless) floozie too??

[yvspeck]

My destiny calling :D:D:D....

[beryl]

My name is beryl
and I am a flairless floozie....

[dagwood]

and I too am a proud flairless floozie...

[Fulltime RVer]

My name is Karen and I'm flairless and goalless.

[stitchmich]

LOL, ya'll are funny. I am flairless, but I actually had a goal. One page a week. Will you guys kick me out of the club if I keep my goal? Or is it lame enough that I still qualify? :lol:

[Christine]

LOLOLOL Oh my HECK! You guys are hilarious!

[guitargirl]

I think I need to join, too. I may eventually get some flair, but I just haven't done it yet. I do have a goal, though - to scrap some pages this year. :rofl: I think that's lame enough, right?

[guitargirl]

Hmmm... I just noticed I still have my Christmas avatar up - that may say something about why I don't have flair! :lol:

[Lisa Carter]

i finally did my flair thingy, but i haven't added my goals to it yet
i will have to do that later. But hey..got the background done and my personal flair
It's a start isn't it....LOL

Very, very nice "Miss Show Off" ;), I mean Lisa.. Now you do realizes that this is the "Flairless"... "Not"... the "Flair" Floozies... I think they have their own little club :D:D:D

[yvspeck]

Has anyone seen this???? http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/place/themes.shtml

After reading Omi response to this I think I'll run scared from this link :(:(...

[yvspeck]

I saw it a few days ago, and my headache is still with me:D:D


Oh now I know I am running......I should have ran from that darn Facebook thingy too:annoyed::annoyed::annoyed:

[yvspeck]

LOL, ya'll are funny. I am flairless, but I actually had a goal. One page a week. Will you guys kick me out of the club if I keep my goal? Or is it lame enough that I still qualify? :lol:


I thought about a goal and then stubbed my little toe... Think someone above was trying to tell me something? :lol::lol::lol:....

[ReneT]

You Flairless Floozies are funny!!!! :rofl::rofl::rofl:

[sabina_canada]

WHATTTTTTTT? i ...NOBODY told me there was such a thing as this FFC......fabulous - I am glad you took up the idea....
Now be serious, do none of you in here have flairs???????????

[sabina_canada]

ohhhhhh, I just read and I am delighted out of my skin....I have GOALS, BUT I don't have the flairy bits - my laptop won't let me....and I don't mind too much.....I am just so glad that I am not the only one. What a fabulous idea to open this FFC thread. Not sure if I can waffle daily because I do have goals, but I will try. Maybe this one won't be as busy as the GT.....

[sabina_canada]

LOL, I was Flairless Floozie from the start since PQ labelled me. My name is Sabina and I am a proud member of the FFC (Flairless Floozie Club).....omg, you guys make me laugh.

[sabina_canada]

Bendi, PQ came up with it and came running into the Feeding Thread and called me a Flairless Floozie. We are chained to the Flairless Button, hahahaaaaaaa. Wait till she sees this, she will die laughing.....Look at the GT, you will see her calling me a flairless flozzie when the flair thing came out and I said that I can't do it....besides the blinking and flashing was driving me nuts.....
LOL, yep, it's all P.Q. idea - I think.

[sabina_canada]

YESS, we need a button....what a great idea for this thread, Bendi..Maybe someone can create the button for us? but that would make us flairy and we don't want to have a flair!


I'm a floozie, too. When I got back to work from Christmas vacation I was slammed, and I leave Friday to celebrate my Dad's birthday with him in L.A. So I'll get to my flair - someday. Maybe after I send out my Christmas cards.

Thanks for starting the club. Think we should make a piece of flair for it?

[sabina_canada]

LOL, Tiffany, get rid of your flair, hehe. We are flairless here. Actually I am glad my laptop won't recognize the bitsy things but maybe I am also a rebel and non-conformist like one of you said earlier in the thread. Just going through all the comments and adding my waffle to it. Lol, as if I have nothing better to do....
what a great idea.....

[sabina_canada]

I AM HERE, CRYS.......I AM HERE......AND NOBODY TOLD ME of this fabulous thread....
and and well, I AM DEFINITELY A FLAIRLESS FLOOZIE BECAUSE PQ STARTED IT ALL WITH ME IN TOW....
Just noticed Fran, you must be feeling better.
hugs, hugs, pal.:D:yippee::yahoo::rofl:

:DI thought I had Flair, then suddenly the *gods* struck it down to tiny. So, what does that make me? :think: :think: :think: Nevermind, I might not want to hear the answer! :lol: :lol: :lol:

okkkkkk, back to reading the rest of the thread
which of course I missed because nobody told me about it and I don't normally
look in the forums......yeah, ok...it will teach me a lesson...check out the new threads or forums..



You guys are a hoot, but where in the world is Sabina???:confused: :confused:

[sabina_canada]

LOL, Ruby, I love the goal-less-wonders buttons, it's perfect.
But wouldn't that contradict our brotherhood????? lol, sisterhood?
though i do also like the flairless button.....
hmmmmmm......



Here's one:

[sabina_canada]

:Dlooking at omi's posting, I am developing a headache.......but ok. I am going back to working on my plopper..and leave you alone. Just hope this FFC will stay flairless...!
OMG, I can't believe this thread is for real, hahahaaaaaaaa.:cool::love1::yahoo:

[Cathiemarie]

I'm still Flairless and still a Floozie, but I had to get me a ticker - so come on girls, cheer me on - I just HAVE to acheive this goal.

[Roberta T]

You get a big cheer from me Cathiemarie!!!! Way to go girl, good for you. You CAN do it!! You already feel better, right? This is a goal I want to set too!

[sabina_canada]

WELL, I don't know, Cathiemarie, (grumbling) but where did you find the ticker???? I might just have a look - not that I am interested, of course, but one can always have a look.......do you think you could share the ticker site with me? lol.....I AM STILL A FLOOZIE, of course. Flairless too.

[jestep]

u go girl.....glad you quit. oxygen and breathe are such a fabulous gift....such a miracle and so wondrous.....had a yoga instructor last nite. we filled our lungs as full as we could sitting in the dark fully relaxed and counting to four. at four you are completely full of air. then, and all thru your nose, count to six exhaling. at six, your lungs should be empty. try it, and watch it all improve over then next few weeks....you will love the luxury of being cleansed by oxygen. i just loved it......so, keep that ticker up and work to move that slider. you have my best wishes and a prayer too.

[shazzt]

Good luck Cathie - hope you attain your goal. So much more to spend on digiscrapping :)

[Beachcomber]

I am a Flairless Floozie, too!!

You all are too funny. :D

Good luck, Cathie! You can do it. We are all rooting for you. :)

[GrandmaCrys]

I'm still Flairless and still a Floozie, but I had to get me a ticker - so come on girls, cheer me on - I just HAVE to acheive this goal.

Just think, CM, soon you can be *Flairless* and *Smokeless*!!! How great would that be, Sweetheart?
:party: :party: :party: :party: :party: (cheering you on...)

[omio]

I'm still Flairless and still a Floozie, but I had to get me a ticker - so come on girls, cheer me on - I just HAVE to acheive this goal.

I guarantee you can do it, kiddo. I was a 3-pack-a-day smoker for nearly 20 years. I quit in 1978 and haven't touched one since. Once you're past the physical part (which doesn't last too long, BTW), the REALLY hard thing is breaking your habits.

I couldn't believe how firmly entrenched my behavior was -- wanted a cigarette every time I answered the phone, got in the car, had a glass of wine, was happy, was sad........well, you get the point. And notice I said "wanted" not "craved." I would get so discouraged when people would say things like, "I quit 20 years ago and still want a cigarette." But wanting and NEEDING are two completely, completely different things.

Three things helped me quit -- hypnosis, wearing a big rubberband and snapping my wrist hard when I thought about smoking, and grabbing a glass of water every time I did something that was usually accompanied by a cigarette -- like answering the phone. I even ended up losing 10 pounds while I was quitting. :tup:

Also, as much as it always got on my nerves to hear people talk about taking things one day at a time, that's exactly what I had to do. To anyone who hasn't smoked it will sound ridiculous but the thought of never having a cigarette for the rest of my life actually made me panic. (I was VERY addicted!) But I told myself that I could do anything for one day and it worked. :D

My last piece of advice from atop this soapbox :love2: is never touch a cigarette again -- period. Don't hand one to anybody, light one for anybody, etc. And you will be amazed at the number of people who will try to sabotage your efforts -- really. I literally have not touched a cigarette or a pack of cigarettes since July 7, 1978. If I ever touch one, I'll take a puff. If I ever take a puff, I'll be back to chain smoking. People made fun of me for being so prissy about it but it worked. :yahoo:

You can do it -- yes, you can!!! :tup: :hug:

[LadyCarolyn]

Just noticed this thread . .. and how do you like that . . .. after I spent HOURS doing my flair thingie, I find out I could have been flairless . . ..!!!!!!!!!

You ladies have me rolling on the floor laughing, especially when I saw the Goalless Wonders buttons.

I think everyone is just having tooo much fun . ....way to go!!!!:rofl::tup::hug:

[bendipez]

No fair....flairs have invaded our thread!! Oh well, we love them anyway and soon they will realize our way is better!!!
Flairless Floozies Unite!!!

[bendipez]

OOps!! forgot...I need to come up with a T-shirt for SLC...any ideas???

[evergreen100]

Yea Cathie, you can do it!!!!!!

[bendipez]

Yea!! Cathie!!! You can do it!!

[bendipez]

Hmmm!! wonder if one of the designers would design a kit just for us.....

[tif_gerber]

OK, so this is my new favorite thread!!! I've even removed my flair so I could post :)

SABINA---I wanted to PM you so bad that your presence was being requested at the FFC, but I didn't want to insinuate that you're a floozie, even in good fun! So I'm glad you found your way in here!

And goals...hmmm...they just don't work out for me, especially when I look back through my gallery. I want to scrap what comes to me, not what I feel like I have to... The layouts in my gallery that I LOVE are those that weren't for a specific challenge or deadline oriented.

Will you all please have me now that I'm flairless and goalless???

CM - best of luck to you, honey, we are ROOTING FOR YOU!!!

[pieohpah75]

LOL! Great Club! You gals are HILARIOUS!!!!

I tried to do the flair thingy but baby tornado (my 2-yr old ds) had a different plan so I gave up. Can I join the club? I think it would be easier than actually accomplishing any goals this year...:D.

So is there a 12-step program to follow??

:yahoo: Finally! A place for me to land! :yahoo:

I am currently trying to get the %#*&^ thing up and running but I am having a miserable time of it. I was blaming it on the fact(s) that I am new, blonde, old(er),PSE impaired, and/or much like coming to the end of the internet, I had reached the end of my learning curve and couldn't put anymore information in to my brain.

I hope this helps!!

I still haven't finished, but, hey, for a lazy person, I'm quite proud of myself!!!

:( Roberta....thats part of my problem....:cry: I've never worked with a QC...and I can't figure it out....:cry::cry:

I'm a floozy!!!!:rolleyes:

[JenniferG]

I'm a floozie...I got the flair, but not the whole flair card thing...to much for me

[Pumpkin2]

I love this thread, so I'm joining. I was so glad I finally managed to get a few blinkies, I don't feel like spoiling my *interesting* signature.
And in order to not go with the flow I'm posting here - together with another 200 that want to be different. LOOOOLLL.

[kaliko88]

So if you're all Flairless Floozies does that make us Flair Babes? Hah! I can just see the competitions brewing. "Hi, I'm an FF." "And I'm an FB." Or maybe we should go even further with gang tats?

[sabina_canada]

lol, lol, Kaliko, I was just off to bed and then saw your posting. Now you are really putting ideas into our flairless fabulous fantastic floozie heads....maybe we can have a gang WAR? because of course WE think that Flair Floozies is the way to go!!!!!!!!!!!
Ha, let's see the Babes coming up with a thread like ours!!!!!!!!!!
I am off to bed smiling my flairless floozie smile which you dear Kaliko produced. Just think: having two GANGS at DSP, hahahaaaaaa. Have a wonderful sleep, FB.
Hugs from a confirmed FF.

[sabina_canada]

LOL, Tiffany, you are too funny. You removed your flair??????? well, welcome to the FF sisterhood.......
and WYNDY, I have the same problem: my brain fries up when I even think of a QC.......I have had tutorials sent to me, Roberta and Jennifer trying to help, I cannot do it. I am simply giving up the ghost and go without. Like I did without the flair, which makes me a very proud FF.
Hugsssssssss. I am off to my FF bed.

[Cathiemarie]

Oh Dear, look what happened to me

[suvgal]

I worked hard to make one and it doesn't even show up and it's really small in size. Haven't had time to try and fix it so can I join the cllub?

[wndyeliza]

I think of that card actually as the "Flair"....otherwise we have buttons or badges.

We are like Girl Scouts who get the badges but can't show them off cause we don't have a sash..:annoyed:

The reason I say this is because we have a badge for the FFC's (sounds like a wrestling association, like the WWF) So if we show that off, we are out of the club if we call it a Flair, but if its a "button"....we are so in.:lol:

[wndyeliza]

LOL, Tiffany, you are too funny. You removed your flair??????? well, welcome to the FF sisterhood.......
and WYNDY, I have the same problem: my brain fries up when I even think of a QC.......I have had tutorials sent to me, Roberta and Jennifer trying to help, I cannot do it. I am simply giving up the ghost and go without. Like I did without the flair, which makes me a very proud FF.
Hugsssssssss. I am off to my FF bed.

Sabina, have I told you lately that your my hero!:love3:

I had help too, and unless some one does it for me, I don't think its gonna get done.:lol:

[Roberta T]

I feel so sad for you :cry: because I love QC's when I want to be quick and easy. And it's so easy when you know how. Do you know how to clip one layer onto another?

[sabina_canada]

Roberta, I am not good with digital terms or expressions, but I work with layers all day, like blending and putting one on top of the other. Is that what is called 'clipping together'??????? I am hopeless because I normally play around but have no idea what I am doing. Though if a QC is like replacing a formal frame, I think I can do without. I normally use proper frames ? is it anything like this? I have at least five or six QC in my folders, but never used them, lol.......:o:o:(:D:doh:
:hug::hug:
it's like your kit, it's still waiting....
I think I am a little overwhelmed right now with some 2700 NEW files to organize. I think my organizer is going to throw me out....

[sabina_canada]

I feel so sad for you :cry: because I love QC's when I want to be quick and easy. And it's so easy when you know how. Do you know how to clip one layer onto another?

I just had a great idea: isn't it just as easy to use a plopper???????????????????
whoppee, why not a plopper instead of a QC???? Lol. Ok. Take a laugh at me. That's the idea of this thread. Let's laugh....because even if you were laughing I would know that it's not out of nastiness, but meant with love and understanding. That's what is so good about you FFs.....and well, alright, I include the FB too. Not that THEY BELONG! Let's be clear: a FF is a FF only if she doesn't have the contraptions of FLAIR! OTHERWISE they are a FB....

[sabina_canada]

Sabina, have I told you lately that your my hero!:love3:

I had help too, and unless some one does it for me, I don't think its gonna get done.:lol:

Wyndy? What????? Why on earth ? what did I do now?????
Hehe, I always get myself into trouble, but pls. tell me, tell me? I am in urgent need of a rise in my self esteem, lol.:p:lol:

[wndyeliza]

I feel so sad for you :cry: because I love QC's when I want to be quick and easy. And it's so easy when you know how. Do you know how to clip one layer onto another?

no. :cry:

[wndyeliza]

I think we need a FF blinkie....

No Goals, No Flair...All fun!

[Roberta T]

lol lol you guys are hilarious. I don't think I would want to change you. But, if you do want to use a QC, tell me, what kind of program do you have?

[sabina_canada]

Who are you asking, Roberta?
Me? well, I am using PSE 7......
but I guess, I am ok...with using ploppers if needed or frames. I love frames or messing around in general....besides my brain feels fried right now. Maybe Wyndy can do it....
Wyndy, stop crying, wipe your lovely eyes and get a tut from Roberta. She is amazing and you are for sure more clevererer than me....hmmmmmm, cleverer?
more clever? is that proper grammar??????
and where are all our floozie friends today? Now I am :cry::cry::cry:
I have to admit, this thread is better and smaller and more funner....(my daughter used to say that 'funner'...)..

[sabina_canada]

:oRoberta, when you clip a layer to another, is that just another way of saying 'move' a layer on top of another? or merging? what is 'clipping' a layer??????????
LOL....:o:confused::confused:

I like clevererer! :yes:

And proper Grammer....Yes, my Grammer was very proper..to the point to making you get your own switch when you were naughty.

Sure Roberta! I could always use help with a GC! I have a few in my files that I would like to use. Thank you!:yes:

[bendipez]

Hello my lovely floozies.....I hope you are all still flairless (the goals are okay as lon as you don't stress over them) am noticing in the Flair thread there are some who need our help so lets invite them to join us....Flairless Floozies Rule....

[sabina_canada]

yep, I am still flairless and intend to remain so......just don't have time for much else, lol.

[Beachcomber]

Hello Floozies. I'm still flairless, too. Happy Saturday!

[bendipez]

Greetings my flairless floozies.....I am surrounded by flairs and goals here in SLC but I will be strong and continue to be flairless ....

[omio]

Greetings my flairless floozies.....I am surrounded by flairs and goals here in SLC but I will be strong and continue to be flairless ....

I'm back home for the afternoon. Are you guys having a blast?? :tup:

[suvgal]

greetings my flairless floozies.....i am surrounded by flairs and goals here in slc but i will be strong and continue to be flairless ....

stay strong!!!! Stay flairless!!!!!

[kaliko88]

stay strong!!!! Stay flairless!!!!!

WE ARE THE FLAIR BABES. YOU WILL BE ASSIMILATED. RESISTANCE IS FUTILE. :rofl:

[bendipez]

I just spent 12 hours surrounded by flair and I am proud to say I stayed strong and am
still Flairless.....

[sabina_canada]

Also I WILL REMAIN FLAIRLESS, have no fear, dear Bendi, I am still around though rather silent the last few days......Lol, go away, you flairi babes, leave us pure flairless virgins alone.......Well, maybe not quite flairless virgins, cause I have a huge signature, but that's it....!

[omio]

I just spent 12 hours surrounded by flair and I am proud to say I stayed strong and am still Flairless.....

:yahoo: :tup:

[wndyeliza]

I too have been quiet...and Flairless. I continue the struggle to remain pure to the cause despite the temptation that is around me.

I will not give into the addiction of Flair, a slave to the constant need to collect buttons and count posts. I will not drive myself to the brink of despair trying to figure out how to make a Flair card.

I WILL BE A FLOOZIE! :tup:

[sabina_canada]

I totally agree and could not say it better. I also don't want to get into all this 'having to do this' and 'needing that' because I still have a life - even though it is scrapping, haha. But lol, I feel totally satisfied and happy without buttons and thingies......

Thought I'd give this thread a little love. Hope all you flairless lovelies are staying strong and staying flairless.....

[Limequilla]

I am just suspicious of all those overachievers....do you suppose they were in the Honor Society, too? ROTFL!

[yvspeck]

I am still riding the floozie train...But I have been awfully tempted but a few of those lovely flairs :D.. You might see me give in to one or two flairs but never going to have goals:D... I am a wind in my air, free like a butterfly, fly by the seat of my pants kind of scrapper... Ok I am just hopeless at staying on task:D!

Hugs to all Floozies, Kim

[bendipez]

My dear floozies please add this special flair for Carolyn a.k.a sammdc, when she sees this she will know that we are thinking of her and are here for her.....

[bendipez]

Just read Sabinas comment about this thread slowing down.. so c'mon floozies let's kick up some dust and make our presence known.

[dagwood]

Thought I'd give this thread a little love. Hope all you flairless lovelies are staying strong and staying flairless.....

still staying strong, not a flair to been seen around me

[tif_gerber]

Still here, still flairless (except for Caro's button). No goals, really, either. Hugggggs Floozies!

[wndyeliza]

Whats up with Caro? She's been through enough.

[wndyeliza]

:think:
OK, I"m wondering here Floozies....
I know I don't have the first clue on how to do this, but does any one of YOU know how to make a blinkie? If our thread is slowing down, lets blinkie them! After all, it ain't a flair! And we need to flaunt our stuff!:tup:

[sabina_canada]

ty, wyndy and bendi, about time too. I really really am jealous and green about this new thread for people around age 30 because OUR THREAD was just tooooo funny and great but we need more life here....
Glad to see you are still flairless. I am as flairless as ever, nothing around me either. Pure as a virgin and will remain so......
My heart was acting up some days ago and thought I had to go to emergency but so far so good. Soooo remaining flairless is of paramount importance. The less to worry about.
We need to keep this thread alive because that's exactly what is needed: a thread for the Sisterhood of FF and not as busy as the GT...I can't keep up there...lol.

[suvgal]

I'm still Flairless too! Have been too busy taking a class with Melissa...Elements for PSE. I use PSE for scrapping and decided it was time to learn what else I can do with it but it takes me so long to wade thru the material. I'm way behind in my lessons.
Have a sparkling day my flairless floozies

[SuzanneCWalker]

This Flair thingie is driving me nuts!! Every Flair I put together looks like a blind monkey did it!! Then I look at all the wonderful goals everyone has and feel like a slacker scrapper. My goal is to just get my purchases downloaded before the link expires. So I'm going to embrace my flairlessness and be a flairless floozie(forgot who in the granny thread came up with the name) who's ready to join me???

BREEEEENNNNNDAAAAA!!!!! THIS FREAKIN CRACKS ME UPP! I WANNA JOIIIIIBNNNNNNN!!! I'M A (sorry - screamin) floooosssssssiieeee tooooooo@

[tif_gerber]

Welcome to flairlessness Suz!

I admit, I had flair in the beginning. However, I can't stand the huge siggies and the thought of updating my "goal" ticker thingie everytime I post a layout just about puts me over the edge!

[sabina_canada]

welcome, Suzie, to our flairless sisterhood....LOL, I hear ya, no need to scream. I AM NOT GOING DEAF YET, but ...We LOVE LOVE having you. Lol, one more to join is wonderful. Love the fact that Brenda is not letting this thread going to sleep as I was afraid it might.....The thirty something thread is going strong. I was there but felt VERY VERY GUILTY......lol.

[sabina_canada]

okay, tIFF, just tell me, should I make my siggi smaller??????????? I don't want you to go over the edge.....God forbid, I can't fish you up and I am too lazy too...yeah, pls. tell me if my siggi is toooooo big...
all PQ's fault because she inspired me to make it big and I thought since the flairs were all huge, I had to make a point by keeping my siggi large. LARGE!!

[sabina_canada]

Wyndy, would a blinkie not be something like a FLAIR??????????
ARE YOU NOT SUPPOSED TO BE WITHOUT ANY ? Are you going to commit adultery?

[tif_gerber]

sabina, you're too funny. NO your siggie isn't too big! I don't mind stuff in the siggies but when I have to scroll for three minutes to get to the bottom of a page its a bit over the top for me :) Aaaannnnddd, don't feel guilty about psoting here and in the 30-something thread...I don't think the two threads are competing... Well I'm posting both places anyways...

[yvspeck]

BREEEEENNNNNDAAAAA!!!!! THIS FREAKIN CRACKS ME UPP! I WANNA JOIIIIIBNNNNNNN!!! I'M A (sorry - screamin) floooosssssssiieeee tooooooo@


Yeah Suz.... We have a designer ( and freakin good one too:D) in the club:yippee::yippee::yippee:..

Welcome to flairlessness Suz!

I admit, I had flair in the beginning. However, I can't stand the huge siggies and the thought of updating my "goal" ticker thingie everytime I post a layout just about puts me over the edge!

Amen to that sister floozie....I saw that someone made their flairs itty bitty and I thought they were kind of cool but that ticker thing would be drive me up a wall for sure and goals.. Well I already feel like my life is just one big "way behind" mess... So goals are not the deal for me..

I do hope all the sisiter are in agreement that Carolyn's flair is the exception to our flairless rules :(...

[Song Catcher]

I don't even know what a flair is....so I guess I qualify!

[sabina_canada]

YES, Yes, of course, Carolyn's flair does not count. Of course. I would add it to my siggi too, but can't because I can't add flairs (my stupid laptop won't let me)....
but just pretend I have it added..
yippeeeeeee, we are having new joiners.....lol, maybe this sisterhood is not falling off the wayside....

Songcatcher, and Suzie, lol, wonderful. So glad that also Suzie wants to be a floozie. (flairless, that is)...lol.

Tiffany, so glad my siggi is not driving you nuts..it is a little big but I kind of wanted to be a little loyal to DSP without committing to the flairs....OMG, I really don't know how these flair people keep up with those things. Imagine adjusting their goals daily, hahahaaaaaaaaaaaa.

[GrandmaCrys]

welcome, Suzie, to our flairless sisterhood....LOL, I hear ya, no need to scream. I AM NOT GOING DEAF YET, but ...We LOVE LOVE having you. Lol, one more to join is wonderful. Love the fact that Brenda is not letting this thread going to sleep as I was afraid it might.....The thirty something thread is going strong. I was there but felt VERY VERY GUILTY......lol.

I also checked out the 30 somethings thread and all it made me feel was OLD! :annoyed: :annoyed: :annoyed:

Can't keep up with the GT? Ha Ha Ha Ha All you have to do is give up your life! :D

I'm full of Flair and proud of it! See how fancy-dancy I look? Now really, I ask you - aren't Floosies supposed to be out-there flamboyant? How, then, can Floosies NOT have Flair. It's just senseless!

Maybe you're all just a little green with envy over not having Flair! :shocked: I can even feel your yearning for Flair from here...if only you knew how!!!!

BWWWWAAAAAAAAHHHH HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


(Flairless Floosies, My Foot!)

[jestep]

well, i say, lets forget about the flairless.....it is what it is..........and lets all concentrate on the floozie....................whooooo hooooooooooooooo.

[sabina_canada]

[SIZE="5"][COLOR="Red"]LOL, LOL, LOL CRYS :lol::wave::yippee::rofl: HAHAHAHAAA, YOU WOULDN'T BE COMING HERE if you were not a little curious what we are getting up to....curious means wanting to know more.....and wanting to know more means getting involved......
be careful, be careful!!!!! We are not jealous, we are very pers
uasive. Just wait and see how some of the Flairs are going to disappear, hahahaaaa. Well, okay, I MIGHT HAVE HAD A FLAIR, but my laptop is keeping me flairless and faithful to the FF Sisterhood. Hmmm, I wonder if a huge hug would be considered adulterating myself? I would love to give you a huge hug for venturing here......

[evergreen100]

On MY screen, EVERYONE is flairless:D (dont know if they are all floozies as well though:D:D):yahoo:...got the siggies turned off because the pages were taking too long to open:D

And as far as the 30-sumptum's go....just remember that old age and trechery will overcome youth and skill any day! :rofl: (I can say that cause I'll be 50 this year AND I have a 30 year old daughter!)

[sabina_canada]

OMG, I am trying to go to bed, hehe, but you made me laugh soooooo much....Wyndy, you are sooooo funny.
Lol, have to try and get tired now.
I am so glad you are seeing the right way, i.e. no transgression here, hehe. We need to be firm, though I guess a blinkie in honor of Carolyn would be honorable....
Well, at least I laughed before going to bed, haha. Sleep well, dear sister floosie.omg,

[wndyeliza]

Did you get enough sleep Sabina? I got to sleep in today! If you can call 7 am sleeping in.

[sabina_canada]

what is sleep? s l e e pppp????????? I can't remember having had a good night for the last five or so years......I finally got some sleep around 3.30 a.m. last night but slept in till 10 this morning.......I don't care anymore. Lol, I am old and retired and can do what I want when I want, but it really upsets me because I love regular hours and going to sleep at the right time.
I finally managed to organize all my kit files though, in my PSE organizer. It took ages.......some 15,000 files, lol......Now they are kind of organized, kind of.

Is anyone here still without electricity? I heard that kentucky is having a tough time right now......wonder if Crys is ok? Must ask her.

Wyndy, what please is your real name though I do love 'wyndy'......it's cute and rolls off my tongue, hehe..........
well, I am off to shower, lazy lazy me......and then shopping.
Hope you have a wonderful day and will resist any temptation.
:lol::hug::hug::hug:

[wndyeliza]

Wendy is it! Although Wyndy works to...all those vowels start to sound the sam after awhile.
I have about 15 more years before retirement. I"ll have to be happy with unorganized files until then and rely on my memory for what I have and don't have..:yikes:

I will NOT make a goal to better organize my files! I WONT, I WONT, I WONT :annoyed:

Crys is OK. Listen and read real carefully, Darling Sabrina: CRYS DOES NOT LIVE IN KENTUCKY!!!

Crys does have Flair, though! :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Crys's DH's family all lives in Kentucky and they are still without power!

Crys lives in Illinois and DOES have power! Power and Flair!!!

Oh! Maybe I have FLAIR POWER!!!!!!!! :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Thanks for being concerned about me, though! :D

[sabina_canada]

LOL, I just got home and here I am laughing myself to death. You are simply impossible.........but I love you so much. OK........I AM SO HAPPY YOU LIVE IN ILLINOIS, recently of course one of my favorite spots on the map. Lol, I know it's not yours, but shsssssssssssssshhhh...
Illinois is not far from me....maybe just maybe I can get my butt into gear one day and drive there....At least Chicago....Piehohpah lives there too, so we could have a mini party......
I AM SO GLAD YOU ARE FINE EVEN THOUGH YOU HAVE FLAIR.....I CANNOT IMAGINE HOW YOU CAN SNEAK INTO OUR SACRED HALL OF FLAIRLESS FLOOZIES, WE MIGHT JUST RIP YOUR FLAIR OFF........:yippee::yahoo:




Crys is OK. Listen and read real carefully, Darling Sabrina: CRYS DOES NOT LIVE IN KENTUCKY!!!

HOW ON EARTH do you manage having all those fruit trees in Ill.??????????????? isn't it cold there? Though WE HAVE FRUIT TREES HERE TOO! Ha, and ours are flairless, much better......but I should have remembered that kentucky is not your hangout from the previous episode of the blue jeans thingy, hahahaaaaaaaaaaaaa.:applause::lol::lol::love1::lov e1::wave::wave:

I'm taking my FLAIR and going home!

[sabina_canada]

hmmmmm, I wonder if I can get used to Wendy instead of the lovely Wyndy....oh well, one more thing to remember......
how on earth do you find anything in your files if you don't have them organized??????? Lol.........it takes long enough just to create one miserable layout as it is.....

well, I am off to cook. Something fattening!!!!!!!
and then Cheesecake with raspberry sauce!

[Ineke]

I am so happy to see that there are so many of us without Goals , Flairs and other such aims in life - why arent we all displaying our Flairless Floozie and goal free zone Flairs????:rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:

[sabina_canada]

heheheeeeeeeeeeeeeee, rightly so, Crys......Quake, quake.....though I would rather have you here with flair than leave without out. We do love certain people also here, even if they have a stupid Flair thingy flying around their ankles........ughhhhhhhh. How could you?
I am off to cook my rice...

[sabina_canada]

Ha, Ineke, but WE ARE>..........I am displaying my siggi with no Goals, see.......that's all I have....no matter how hard I try to be unfaithful, I am stuck with just the green siggi....admittedly rather big, but I had to make my point, after all. We can't just keep mum and not say anything.......Onward flairless floosies, onward here we come......

[Ineke]

Talking about not being able to sleep - it is stinking hot here in Aus at the moment and I was trying to watch a great tennis match on telly last night... as I was lying there on the couch I could not keep my eyes open .. it was a real struggle and every so often I would give in for 5 minutes.. well the match went for 5 hours and when I finally got to bed I was lying there wide awake until 4am.. no heavy eyes wanting to close at all.. why does that happen??

[sabina_canada]

WELL, I make a huge decision EVERY single night/evening: every night I say to myself: ok, Sabina, tonight we are going to bed at 11 p.m. That's it. We take our meds at 9 or 10 and then we get nice and ready for bed and will be asleep by 11.30........By 12.30 a.m. I start contemplating getting back to my laptop. Doctor said, it's more stress to toss and turn and if you don't sleep, just get up and do what you want.......
by 1.30 a.m. I end up playing with the kitty because she had her nap and woke up....
and then maybe just maybe by 3 a.m. I might feel tired.
My mother had the same problem. She had huge problems sleeping.
I HATE IT. Because I am an animal of habit. I love having organized hours......just lucky for me that I don't have to work the next day......ughhhhhhhhhhh. I guess that's part of getting OLD. Darn it.

[sabina_canada]

before I forget AGain, i LOVE LOVE your avatar, Crys. One of these days you have to tell me where you find them.....or do you just find a funny pic and resize it? I love all of them, so typical of YOU.

[wndyeliza]

hmmmmm, I wonder if I can get used to Wendy instead of the lovely Wyndy....oh well, one more thing to remember......

Sabina, if I organize my files then it means that I have a goal...I can't do that!

[sabina_canada]

Wendy, I believe that 'playing' and having fun is in the rules for being a floozie. So if you just think about organizing your files as 'FUN' and you play around with them and they somehow slip into the right folder, then you are not actually keeping a goal!!!!!!! you are just having fun organizing. YOU LOVE ORGANIZING, IT IS ONE OF YOUR PASSIONS, so it's not a goal you need to set but a pleasure to enjoy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LOL.......why was I not a lawyer?

Do what you enjoy!! Remember as a flairless floozie we are about the joy in doing what we love....

[wndyeliza]

Enjoying what I do is part of the reason that I am here. I know that with my schedule and my wedding coming up that if I had said that I am going to (fill in goal here) it would have driven me insane. I figure that I'll learn the technique, scan the photos, do the LO's. I have too many chores to do as it is, I'm here for the fun!

[Mom Gone Looney]

I am compulsively obsessive slacker who is goal-less, hopeless, can tend to be artistically challenged, yet I have visions of perfectionism and best of all, I am content on being a Flairless Floozie!!! :D

I am doing real good to make a really big effort this year to delve into this and get a little something accomplished.

[sabina_canada]

I thought you might enjoy this:

You know you are addicted to digital scrapbooking when.....



1) You have kits purchased for photos you anticipate taking and look in your child's closet to find clothes that will match the kits, although you know you could just recolor the kits.

2) You see clothing in the store that matches your kits and cannot resist buying it.

3) You wake up in the morning and before you get your coffee or breakfast, you head straight to your computer to scrap.

4) You prioritize digital scrapbooking over the dirty dishes in your sink.

5) You spend hours going through digital scrapbook shops to find the perfect kit for one layout.

6) You spend hours going through digital scrapbook galleries to find the perfect layout to scraplift.

7) You have more digital scrapbook files on your computer than music files.

8) You belong to every Yahoo group associated with digital scrapbooking and spend hours reading all the e-mails.

9) You keep your own personal calendar up-to-date with all the various digital scrapbook chats you want to attend, along with notes on when the challenges are due so that you can receive your freebie for doing the challenge.

10) You stay up until 1 a.m. working on a layout to get it "just" right.

11) You sit and think about it and plan layouts in your head while waiting at the hospital.

12) When you sleep.... all you dreams are about digitally scrapping!!!

13) When every picture you get from friends, you think of scrapping them as gifts back to them.

14) You wait til your husband is snoring peacefully, then ever so quietly sneak out of bed to get your digi-scrapping fix.

15) You buy every kit that is on sale because you know that you will need it "someday."

16) You have bought so many kits on sale that you have zips that have not been unzipped (much less used) that are 2 months old!!

17) You buy an external HD just to keep all the scrapkits you've bought (and made) -- and then it is filled within 6 months. Now you're looking for a BIGGER external HD!!

18) When your husband wants to go out with some very good friends and your first thought is "noooooo, I don’t want to miss the crop."

19) When you become really blue when you cant buy colored ink to match any printers they sell!!!

20) When you see an article in the paper of a mans torso (something about health) that was done in a collage style, with different parts of him in lots of squares, and you ask your friends if you can keep the article, but not necessarily because it's a buff man, but because you want to scraplift it!

21) When you go back and take more photos to finish a layout.

22) When you are late to pick up your child because you cannot bring yourself to leave your computer.

23) When you find inspiration in the oddest places. When you watch CSI Miami and it shows a picture of Miami and the middle has a strip that is blurry and think it would look great on a scrapbook page.

24) When It is now 2:20 a.m. and you have redone those crazy layouts you posted the first time. You couldn't get them out of my gallery fast enough.

25) When you are up till the wee hours of the morning then go to bed thinking you can sleep and instead laying there and thinking about the rest of the layouts. It is ADDICTING once you get going.

26) When you work hard getting all of your digital files to CD's because you are going to be gone for 7 days and I NEED to take this stuff with you!

27) When your Granddaughter has to have a "Princess Jasmine" theme only for her birthday party because that's the only princess kit you've made! Or, she could have a Mickey/Minnie, Pooh, Tigger, or any of the others. Do you think I've gone overboard a little? Restricting the birthday theme to only the kits I have made in The Most Wonderful Place on Earth series? Nah, I didn't think so! LOL.

28) I'm so addicted I hate leaving my house for anything, I want to be at my computer all of the time. I need a laptop!!

29) When you scrapbook all day and 30 minutes before Hubby comes home--you quickly move a few things around and set out cleaning supplies on the counter to make it look like you've cleaned your house.

30) When you have pre-made pages all ready to be finalized upon the birth of your baby.

31) When you are in labor, but decide to work on your pages before going to the hospital.

32) When you spend more time looking for the perfect kit for two days than you do scrapping.

33) When you tell your husband to buy you flowers so you can have some beautiful photos to go with your beautiful papers--better yet, give up on your husband and just take the camera to the grocery store for photos of flowers.

Well since I can't even figure out how to make the flair card I guess this is the place for me! If anyone who has made the flair card can give me some help I'd appreciate it! I probably will still stay flairless though just because I am lazy that way!

Thanks Lisa! I have been working on revamping it today and I have done several versions. I think this version I like the best. Again thanks. :)

That's so funny, that it's sad...sad because it is so true!

[sabina_canada]

well, I am definitely addicted. I even rush through my eating, but as of a few days ago I am really really trying to pick up on walking again and taking breaks. Yesterday I actually went out shopping and vacuumed....lol.
But I am beginning to see that it is an addiction. No joke, it really is.

Admitting you have a problem is the first step in recovery....but who wants to recover? :rofl:

[Ineke]

I know I am addicted and I dont care cause I am a Flairless floozie!! - I would never think of spending anywhere else to have my breakfast every morning but in front of the computer reading threads and breakfast is lasting longer and longer each day!:rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:

[sabina_canada]

gIRLS, I just took the liberty to check the thread for the around the 30 years old ones and it's slowing down. Our thread is still here and surviving even though maybe we are not so active, but lol, WE ARE ADDICTED. I have even reduced my walking time, but I need to pick that part up again. Walking needs to be done......maybe I can reduce on cooking or dusting or talking on the phone??????

Chores? CHORES???????? We don't need to do no stinkin chores! :D :D :D :D

See, Sabina? This is what you can give up - chores!!!!!!!!!!

[sabina_canada]

WELL, ok............girls, just to confess and make you laugh at me:
I had my dear DIL on the phone this afternoon and when she gets on it, she stays on it....in spite of my darling twin grandchildren girls or suppertime, she loves talking....and of course so do I.....but time flew like there is no tomorrow. So about half an hour ago I figured I had wasted A LOT OF TIME and didn't want to waste time eating...SO I JUST HEATED UP SOME NOODLES that I had cooked last night, put an egg over it, cheese, and that's it for today......gulped it down within five minutes and now FINALLY I am back on the pc posting to you!!!!!!!!
Wasting more time, because whilst posting, of course, I cannot be working on one of my pages.......

Yeah, Crys, let's skip the chores, no more dusting. I hate dusting. What's the point of it anyway????????????? I was never good at multi tasking, but right now I am cuddling Arabella, watching CNN and posting to you, plus thinking about my next page, and exercising my legs which is impossible with a laptop!

Get a portable phone or a headset and then you can be talking and scrapping at the same time!!

[sabina_canada]

I HAVE A PORTABLE PHONE AND A HEADSET, HAHAHAAAAAAAAAAA and I use it when feeding Arabella, or walking around looking for something that I thought I had put somewhere and can't remember where....and when people call when I am in the middle of a shower or God knows what else I am doing at that moment.....but I just cannot talk on the phone and scrap at the same time....which is really annoying because wouldn't it be perfect to scrap whilst talking ? it would save so much time....

[Ineke]

I am so pleased that I am not a phone person - it saves me hours of precious scrapping time!!:lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol :

[wndyeliza]

Sabina, think of it this way...if you didn't spend the time to talk to family, they may want to do a scrappers intervention and then you wouldn't be able to do anything on the computer!? Your just looking out over your interests....

[sabina_canada]

the problem is with talking on the phone that I need NEED to do it so I can butter my kids up to be kind enough to send some more photos of my adorable grandchildren. If I don't butter them up, no photos probably unless I go there and take them myself which in itself is lots of work. Lots of travelling, lots of useless photos and the kids don't want to have their picture taken......soooooo a phone comes in handy at times....
Hugs to you, Wendy.

[wndyeliza]

:hug:Right back atcha Sabina!

I see what you mean about the pics...I'm the same way about my grandbabies.

[tif_gerber]

Don't worry ladies, I am still flairless, but I scrapped like crazy today! I didn't get the bathroom cleaned or the laundry done, but 8 layouts done today, and not a flair to show for it! hahaha

[wndyeliza]

8 LO's ?! OMG!

[tif_gerber]

YEs, 8, count 'em...hahaha. Load of whites still in the washer, but I am going to bed :)

[carti]

I just became aware of this Flairless Floozie club! Really funny gals. I wish I had know about this before I added one Flair button and I had trouble adding it!
Even though many have added instructions on how to do Flair thing it is still very confusing to me. One says do it this way another that way??? Huh?

I won't be adding a Flair card that's for sure. I am trying to just make one round button with my own graphic on it! Don't know if I will get it done right and after reading how to add it ? :)

[♥Gems♥]

ok this may have been asked a thousand times already but what is flair? and do i have it? and if i dont have it should i get it? is it something i accquire or can i borrow it or do i make it/purchase it etc etc...hehe
Sorry ladies but i have no idea hope you can help.
Hugs Gemsxx

But I want to have fair! I am fine with being goalless - Me and goals, we're not the best of friends. Anyone up for making me some flair? I love all the pretty buttons and want some of my own - just no time to do it for myself.:o And I don't think I'm a floozie but others might have a differing opinion.
