Norma_133903 Senior Member artist Posts: 485	Awwww Nooooo Apr 8^th, 2011, 12:04am I just had a 'slap my forehead awwww noooooo' moment. I made, uploaded, and categorized a whole set of cards, then realized that they all said Happy Bithday! AWWWWW NOOOOO I just should not make cards when I am tired!

I think I can beat that Tom, I once decorated a cake for a bridal shower and instead of putting the scripture from 1 Cor. that says love endures, is kind, etc, I wrote the verses that said fornicators will not inherit Gods kingdom. Caught the boo boo just before I went out the door. Now THAT would have been plum embarrasin'

I'm glad to see you on here. I was just thinking yesterday it had been a while and I hoped you were ok.

It's funny how we just don't see it...because when we do notice, it's so obvious. I've been working on some new series cards lately, uhmmm, maybe I'll go double check the one's I have pending Tom and Trish......maybe you should start a 'bloopers' thread? Might be fun! Pam

Yeah, we all need a 'stupid checker' probably more than a spell checker! Grin

I always hit spell checker when I'm done with keywords, artist notes, inner verse and all, but that still doesn't catch grammatical mistakes, or just plain stupid ones like not changing keywords from card to card when listing a series which is my Achilles heel.

Yep, I'm with Doreen, our built in editor in the brain doesn't always work so well. Even though the wait is more than I like sometimes, having the reviewers as editors is a big help catching some of these 'all too human' and for me, all too often slip ups.

A blooper thread is an awesome idea! A bit of entertainment between our own creating muffs. Shocked

lol

Best always, Randy

Norma...I feel so bad for you, that`s quite a bit of work. Ive learned not to work tired..well, not too tired anyway. Maybe we should have a sponsor for "Tired Artists"-just say.."Stop!"

I check and recheck sometimes three times before submitting..and just had a misspelled error from a reviewer. My card read> Welcome To The Nieghborhood. In my defense, that is a long word, lol. Tongue

*Tom, Just Say "No To Veal".

*Trish, OMGosh...Could you imagine how that Honeymoon would have played out,lol?

Have a good weekend everyone.

I just caught one of my own stupid bloopers from another thread: Quote from Ernestine_131365 on Feb 8^th, 2011, 9:50am:

Sandra-

I'm planning on visiting the show. I have several friends (& fried businesses) that have done the show for years. I'll look up your booth. Are there any other Northeast GCU artists planning or thinking about going? It'd be fun to get a GCU "contingent" together! Wink

-'e'

I meant to say FRIEND businesses. (Though I believe some of them may feel fried after the show! 'e'
