taking the hire moral ground

So, decided not to judge Lynzii's brattyness and to rise above her petty ways and include her in MY SHOWER w/ TONS of love. Figure I owe it to the MiaMaid's to keep being the best example ever, even when insensitives in the ward insult my womanhood and excpect me to be all pioneer about it. BUT, including her in my party is fine. Seriously. Fine. Making the invitations was such a win-win bc it #1, the giving helped me hill the sadness and #2 I have an awesome real life example of charity to use in next months lesson!

LOVE love LOVE giving!

Don't forget to call me if you want in on my next card-making supplies partay! :)

  14. way to rock the spotlight on your bestie!

    you did make sure and tell the RS pres no "group-gifts" right?

    because that would be so sad if everybody went in on a double stroller for you and it wasn't the one you wanted.

  16. I love "pioneer" and "hire"

    I'm not LDS, but this is excellent satire that crosses religion boundaries!

  17. TAMN, you are an inspiration!!! The Mia Maids are so lucky to have your example!

    Also, did you ever get another ultrasound? Any confirmation that the other twin is a girl?? Last I heard, it was a 50/50 chance...

  18. I just got mine in the mail! The postal lady looked seriously pissed, because it is quite heavy, but come on...you paid the $3.55 required postage for the weight, so she needs to chill!

    Loves it! I'll be there with super great, big presents for the feti. And maybe I'll get Lynzii something too.

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  28. "Lynzii's allegedly preggo,too"

    Thanks, TAMN, for yet another laughter ab workout.

    ReplyDelete
  29. I hope that you made HUNDREDS of those way-eeezy cards, so that you can have as many people as possible give you gifts for the twinsies. Plus, you have two coming so you need twice as many people to come.

    ReplyDelete
  30. "allegedly preggo" : she COULD be faking it. Ya never know. You are so charatable.

    ReplyDelete
  31. You R sich an exampil of giving. Look at you give, give, give. And with a totally grate attitude about it, two. I'm gonna miss you when your trancelated.

    ReplyDelete
  32. I know what I'm going to get you! An entire wheelbarrow full of scrapbooking supplies, and a gallon of glitter! My present is the best!

    ReplyDelete
  33. Please please make my invites whenever I get preggo. These are the MOST CUTEST INVITES EVER!!! SERIOUSLY!!! And how giving of you to include Lynzii in them. you are such a great example!

    ReplyDelete
  34. Oh Em Gosh! These invites have a serious WOW factor. You definitely need to invite me to the next card making partay. Your feti are so lucky to have such an amazing mommy and Lynzii is just lucky you are such a charitable person. Way to set an example for those MiaMaids! :o) And I think it was really important that you point out the alleged pregnancy of Lynzii cause seriously, if she didn't look pregnant at your last en counter... this could totally just be her being jealous and trying to steal your thunder. WHATEVS!!!

    ReplyDelete
  35. Thank you for having your name in the background just in case we didn't know it was for you.

    Did you use your Cricut?

    ReplyDelete
  36. No blinking miniature LED lights? Oh TAMN...I need to invite YOU to MY next partay!

    ReplyDelete
  37. LOL... Thanks for the laugh.
    That was a very interestingly sparkle-beautiful invite. It will be the envy of everyone in your ward, in hopes that they will be invited to go party for your righteous womb!

    ReplyDelete
  38. That is the cutest freaking card I have ever seen.

    ReplyDelete
  39. Oh my holy epileptic fit causing bling! Seriously awesome! Hope you were wearing a mask of some sort when you were applying the glitter...wouldn't want that to end up in the precious feti's lungs now....

    ReplyDelete
  40. Those are perfect! You could totally pull a talent lesson out of this too!

    ReplyDelete
  41. I have just been dying to know how you would handle this situation -- I should of known you would take the high road!

    My cousin is having twins, a boy and a girl, and my sister made Luke and Leia onesies for them. I wonder if anyone will come up with anything that awesome for you.

    ReplyDelete
  42. My sister just told me about your blog and we have been busting a gut reading it. Seriously, I am going to have to see a doctor about my aching sides. Also, your invites scream class. Lynzii will totally be pitching a fit that she didn't think of this first.

    ReplyDelete
  43. Allegedly!!!!!!!!!!!!! Bahhahahahaha!

    ReplyDelete
  44. wow, tamn! That's a lot of sparkle packed into those invites.

    ReplyDelete
  45. Quit your day job! I think it's time to head into designing wedding invitations, too.

    ReplyDelete
  46. You had me at the gOOgly eyes.

    Ugh-maZING! ;)

    ReplyDelete
  47. Way to go with the allegedly! That's a pretty big word! Makes you look all smartical, not to mention a total giver.

    ReplyDelete
  48. Is that mascara on your she-fetus?

    ReplyDelete
  49. Love that you have taken the higher ground and decided to include Lynzii! And love the allegedly-it is the perfect touch!!!! What sparkling talent you have!

    ReplyDelete
  50. Hilarious, seriously, that card rocks.

  51. you even spelled Lynzii's name right, I bet that never happens for her!

    What an awesome job on the invites. I bet you will sprinkle tons of glittery confetti in the envelopes so when people open the card, confetti will spill all over them!

    Maybe your cricut can cut little TAMN confetti pieces?

    ReplyDelete
  52. TAMN, u are seriously my favorite person ever. I'm so excited for you and your feti. Lynzii is totally lucky that ur been so Christlike and setting the most richous and perfect example for your MiaMaids!

  54. I'm with The Eggetts. The front of the card is actually really cute! And would you mind if I include a reference to my "righteous womb" in my future baby shower invites? I'll aim for twinners.

    ReplyDelete
  55. oh.my.ugliness. I know you have a ton of time being on bedrest and all, but, does being preggo totally make you want to create grossness? If I got one of these in the mail, I would submit it to Guiness for ugliest-scrapbook-creation-EVER, and then I would make it a point not to go -- wait, that's your purpose, isn't it? You want everyone to shudder at the sight of this, promptly shred it twice, and forget they ever received it, don't you? That way, Lynzii selfish head won't steal your thunder, and then you can make cute invites for your own shower! BRILLIANT, TAMN!

    ReplyDelete
  56. That allegedly preggo girl Lynzii is so lucky to have you in her life. She probably would have had a lame shower, but now she gets to share in the celebration of your righteous womb! She'll probably frame that invite in the triplet's nursury. Way to be an example!

    ReplyDelete
  57. This is the most deliciously TAMNified tacky card I have ever seen in my life.

    ReplyDelete
  58. SO FUNNY ! ROFL ! Seriously so over the top-- rarely have I seen a baby shower invitation that garish. That is gosh-awful, but absolutely a riot. One of your most hilarious messages evar ! Lurve you, D.

    ReplyDelete
  59. I always wanted to celebrate someone's richus womb now I actually get to!!

    ReplyDelete
  60. YAY! I got my invite toooo! I went to Baby Gap and got your adorable feti the CUTEST EVER outfits (that were NOT on sale btw)
    And your generosity to Lynzii inspired me to get her a present also...Blue Light Special for her!

    ReplyDelete
  61. It just makes me laugh thinking about the real person that actually made that invite. Hilarious and seriously impressive. That had to have taken several days. I keep looking at all the intricate detail and I am floored by the work put into that...all for a laugh. I really love this blog.

    ReplyDelete
  62. You're a genius - oh, but a seriously cute one!

    ReplyDelete
  63. TAMN, you're just too darn cute. Thanks for inspirational invite. I am a stay at home Mom of 3 and I'm so glad I have something now to fill up my days with. I was bored of cleaning and talking to my children, now I'm going to use the inspiration from these cards and open an etsy-store! You are so talented!

    ReplyDelete
  64. TAMN, is'nt it about time for you to share ultra sound pics? I'm just saying. I heard Lynzii did on her blog. People miight say somthing.

    ReplyDelete
  65. TAMN, i hope uv got ur desinger hospital gown ordered. if no u could ask for 1 at ur shower.

    ReplyDelete
  66. Tamners... sweetie, you forgot to put the date and time on your invite!!

    Oh well, I guess that means you just have to make ANOTHER one to send out with this! Ohh! Or maybe a super cute insert!!

    ReplyDelete
  67. So totally love the invite. It's perfect, of course. So generous of you to include Lydzii!!

    ReplyDelete
  68. Everyone knows that the wannabees who get all caught up in trying to out-TAMN you are destined for failure. Like her triplets are going to end up conjoined or BOYS with no junk. Just chill, think happy thoughts (Manolo, Choo, Gucci) and keep adding to that baby registry!

    ReplyDelete
  69. Umm... SO CUTE! Over the top and perfect because of it!!!
