Moxie Fabber of the Week

Have you been over to Moxie Fab World site today?!?! Have you? Have you? Have you?

Actually, chances are that you ended up here because you were at Moxie Fab World first…I mean, let’s be honest…MFW has about a bajillion more people checking it!

Well, however you ended up here…you’re here now…and I am so excited to have you because I am Moxie Fabber of the Week!!!!

Seriously, I’m very excited about this. Really excited. More excited than my normal baseline level of excitement, which is pretty high.

The fact that Cath is allowing my mug to take up space in her sidebar for a whole week is pretty cool!

But I should be honest: while I do have bouts of fabulousness,  I’m really not so Moxie Fab on a daily basis. I’m actually pretty Moxie Regular. And then there are those days when I am downright Moxie Sad.

Here’s what I mean:

Moxie Fab: I love making personalized birthday cards for friends.
Moxie Sad: I usually mail out those birthday cards 3 weeks after their birthday has come and gone. Something about me and post offices just don’t get along.

Moxie Fab: I love dogs.
Moxie Sad: I hate frogs. I am deathly afraid of them…seriously. As a psychologist, I know full well what I need to do to treat this phobia but I have no plans of doing that. The frogs and I have a pretty good agreement about how they should behave when I’m around. As long as they stay out of my way, everyone is happy.

Moxie Fab: I live in beautiful Miami where most days the weather is perfect for the beach.
Moxie Sad: Mosquitoes love me and I am horribly allergic. 5 minutes outside and I can easily rack up 10 mosquito bites. I’ve tried everything to repel them. Nothing works. It’s sad..moxie sad.

Moxie Fab: I love to sing.
Moxie Sad: I also love to forget the words. This is particularly sad if, for example, you are singing at your friend’s wedding during the First Dance and leave out two lines of the song, so instead you just repeat the lines from the previous verse and everyone looks at you kinda funny…for example.

So, thank you, Cath for giving me a week to be Moxie Fab! Next week, I’ll go back to being Moxie Regular:-)

Before I go, here’s a quick card that I’m entering into the Gallery Idol competition. It’s a fun, simple graduation card, which is quite fitting since graduation season is pretty much over and I have knack for being tardy for the party.

Thanks for stopping by for some Damask Love and have a Moxie Fab week…I know I will!!!
 
Supplies:
Stamps: Hero Arts Lauderdale Sunshine (sunglasses), Lawn Fawn Hats Off To You (graduation hat), Clear and Simple stamps A Guy Thing (tie), PTI Faux Ribbon (stripes on tie), PTI Signature Greetings (“dude,”), PTI Mat Stack 2 (“congratulations”)
Ink: Stampin Up: Rose Red, Ranger Archival Jet Black

Keep on crafting with these other posts

    Super duper congrats on the Moxie Fab of the week! You’ve always been MY favorite blogger!

    OMG… we are for sure soul mates. Or something. Anyway… my whole life I have been PETRIFIED of Frogs. I can tell you exactly where it started and why I am afraid, and it’s the weirdest thing because if they are around (at a safe distance, or contained), I have to stare at them while my fingernails penetrate whomever’s arm is nearest to me, and my heart pounds out of my chest. Awful, AWFUL creatures. *shudder* I can’t even touch a picture of them, because it gives me the creeps.

    Oh, and I do the very thing with cards and the post office.

    Your card is *awesome*. I know for sure you’re going to make the short list!

    Congrats, Moxie Fab Girl!

    And, being the bride at that friend’s wedding…I can put everyone at ease to say that not a single person gave the lyric mishap a second thought because they were so spellbound by Amber’s beautiful voice. In fact, just this weekend, I was thinking about how moxie fab it was that you gave us that wonderful gift. I will treasure that memory always! xoxo

    Congrats on being Moxie Fabber of the week! I have never met anyone else as afraid of frogs as I am. And I am terrified. I might have once cried because a frog jumped on my foot and caught me off guard. Thanks for making yourself so totally relatable!

    I haven’t gotten to MFW in my Reader (because it’s alphabetized…you’re A, it’s M…go figure, LOL) Anyway, I am sooooooo glad you’re MFOTW! You should be because I think you’re totally Faboo!!!!! 🙂 Congratulations! I love your fab/sad list (sad that you’re sad, though many of them made me laugh…not AT you, but WITH you). And ooooh, afraid of frogs? That would be a bad thing in this house. My youngest daughter LOVES “woggies.” {note to self, never send Amber a card with a frog on it…or in it…of course, in it would be squished and gross and who wants frog guts in their card?!} Anyway…WAHOO FOR YOU!!!!

  22. 6.14.11

    WAHOO dr amber, you are a hoot! hahaah, I love your post. big hugs and congrats on your day. I don’t know about frogs, I guess I would scream if I touched one, but I really do like snakes. hehe 😉 I hope you’ll still be my friend after this.

    Thanks for your article. I also think that laptop computers are getting to be more and more popular today, and now are sometimes the only form of computer found in a household. Simply because at the same time that they’re becoming more and more inexpensive, their processing power keeps growing to the point where they’re as highly effective as pc’s through just a few years ago.

    I have noticed that over the course of building a relationship with real estate managers, you’ll be able to come to understand that, in every single real estate deal, a percentage is paid. All things considered, FSBO sellers do not “save” the payment. Rather, they struggle to earn the commission through doing a strong agent’s work. In completing this task, they expend their money in addition to time to conduct, as best they will, the assignments of an real estate agent. Those responsibilities include exposing the home through marketing, representing the home to buyers, creating a sense of buyer urgency in order to induce an offer, arranging home inspections, controlling qualification investigations with the bank, supervising maintenance, and aiding the closing of the deal.

    Thanks for your posting. I would also like to comment that the first thing you will need to carry out is check if you really need credit repair. To do that you need to get your hands on a replica of your credit history. That should never be difficult, since government necessitates that you are allowed to have one cost-free copy of your own credit report each year. You just have to ask the right people. You can either read the website for the Federal Trade Commission or perhaps contact one of the leading credit agencies immediately.

    One other thing I would like to express is that instead of trying to match all your online degree programs on days of the week that you finish work (since the majority people are worn out when they return), try to receive most of your sessions on the weekends and only a few courses for weekdays, even if it means taking some time off your weekend break. This is beneficial because on the weekends, you will be a lot more rested plus concentrated with school work. Thx for the different suggestions I have figured out from your blog.

    These days of austerity in addition to relative stress and anxiety about incurring debt, some people balk resistant to the idea of employing a credit card in order to make purchase of merchandise or maybe pay for a trip, preferring, instead just to rely on a tried as well as trusted approach to making repayment – hard cash. However, in case you have the cash there to make the purchase in whole, then, paradoxically, this is the best time just to be able to use the card for several causes.

  45. 9.30.25

    Fantastic site you have here but I was wanting to know if you knew of any community forums that cover the same topics talked about here?

    An additional issue is that video gaming has become one of the all-time largest forms of excitement for people of any age. Kids engage in video games, and adults do, too. The actual XBox 360 is among the favorite gaming systems for folks who love to have hundreds of activities available to them, and who like to learn live with some others all over the world. Thanks for sharing your notions.

    Thanks for the suggestions you talk about through this website. In addition, lots of young women that become pregnant do not even attempt to get medical insurance because they are concerned they might not qualify. Although a lot of states now require that insurers produce coverage despite the pre-existing conditions. Charges on these types of guaranteed plans are usually higher, but when with the high cost of medical care bills it may be any safer way to go to protect your financial future.
