A Girl named Kent

Thank you Mister Costco man!

I know the Costco man will never see this blog but I thought if I publicly declared my gratefulness it may somehow get back to him or something like that. Here's the story - I had taken pica of the boys at Christmas in the Park last week and lo and behold one turned out good enough for a card so I took it to Costco. Later I got a call that all the orders turned in that day got lost and I had to come back - so on trip number two I brought my memory card back and tried to print it again. This time I had done some cropping at home and my computer does this thing where is I do any alterations it comes out really crummy looking but you can't tell on the screen only when you print it out. So this is what happened on the 2nd trip, the Costco man was nice enough to let me try a couple of times, walk around to the employee section and do other annoying things like that. Anyway, I couldn't get it the way I wanted it but settled anyway. I showed it to Matt - he doesn't notice anything wrong, but then my younger son Tyler says "Mommy, Timmy and I are made out of legos in this picture." Many of you know exactly what he is talking about if you have a low MB digital camera like mine and try to enlarge photos. So a couple of days go by and I am really trying to get over the fact that the "perfect" Christmas card I had wanted did not turn out like I had planned. But it was no use - I couldn't get over it and thought I'll give it one more try - I'm stubborn that way. So on Thursday I went back to Costco this time with the original photo file and asked (begged) the Costco man one more time if I could try it again even though I had ok'd the last attempt - and guess what? - he let me and guess what? - it worked and they turned out just like I wanted. So thank you Costco man for putting up with the crazy Christmas card lady - I hope you get a lot of Christmas cheer your way because I know I am not the only crazy Christmas card lady you will have to deal with.

On another note - for my scrapbooking pals out there - I actually scrapbooked! I know don't be too shocked! I can't post it on the blog because is actually a Christmas present for someone who may lurk here. They don't know about the 2peas site so for those of you who do - check it out on 2peas. I worked really hard on it so a little praise would be nice!

Oh and for those of you who are wondering what the now perfect Christmas card looks like - I will have to leave you in suspense. You'll just have to get one in the mail! :-)
