So I already posted about this on the Indie Polish thread but I am so disgusted I am also ranting here.

I am super disappointed with Glitter Guilty. I feel that as a sub it has gone downhill and I would sincerely advise against subbing. Finally this month she sent me a color I like but all the giltter is literally clumped on one side of the bottle as if glued there. Shaking it for literally 20 minutes helped almost not at all. It is not possible to get any glitter onto my nail.

Then, as her 'extra' which is usually very yummy local candy or chocolate, she decided to send a nail file. It is maybe 3 inches and functions as a business card, with GLITTER GUILTY printed in giant letters on one side and her email address and website printed on the other. She probably got these in bulk for pennies each. and it's not super high quality. WHERE IS MY YUMMY CHOCOLATE?????

I am unsubbing. I am just trying to decide whether to tell her why.
That's a major bummer :( /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I know how you feel though. It wasn't what it used to be when we got the custom polishes and it was still the same price. I went through my polishes a few weekends ago and one of the minis from around Christmas was completely hard and I had never opened it. I would've been mad about the file too, that was the one of the best perks of the sub! Us ladies are serious about our chocolate :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />
 
Aww, in neighbor news, my downstairs neighbors are getting married!  If they can get their guest list pared down to under thirty people, it's probably going to happen at my aunt's house since she's the only person they know with a yard, and they don't want to spring for a venue rental.  She's been Jeffrey's best friend for at least twenty (and maybe even thirty) years, and -- miracle of miracles -- SHE LIKES TIM.  They can actually hang out together even if Jeffrey isn't around.  She usually hates Jeffrey's boyfriends, but there are times when she would rather hang out with Tim than Jeffrey.  And Tim *is* awesome aside from his cigarette smoking (uh, the lease I signed stipulated this was a non-smoking property.  STOP STANDING BELOW MY LIVING ROOM WINDOWS AND LIGHTING UP).

(I don't want to buy them a physical wedding present, though.  Jeffrey is in his fifties, and Tim is in his sixties, and they got rid of a *ton* of stuff -- some of which they gave to me because FIESTA WARE AND CAST IRON COOKWARE HELL YEAH! -- when Tim moved in, so they have precisely zero need for any more *stuff*.  I'm thinking a restaurant gift certificate would probably be more appropriate, especially since we live no more than three blocks from at least four of the best restaurants in town!)

That's a really good idea!  Maybe they will also do a honeymoon registry?  That's what all of my friends have done, since no one waits until they get married to buy a blender/toaster/etc anymore.

 
@@tulosai I hope your work environment improve. @@JC327 I am sure you will send lovely gifts to your FGC. Have fun visiting friends and family. I went to Greece 3 years ago. It is such a beautiful place, IMO.

 
Suck this didn't attach to my first post: image.jpg

 
@@gemstone I think that's a great idea, it's always fun to open festive looking packages. I know pretty wrapping make me happy.

 
Let's see if I can figure out this "posting pics from a phone" thing...

My craft actually worked! I will be re-doing one of the necklaces (the green one) due to bubbles/weirdness around one of the edges, but I'll keep it and wear it myself. I'm going to pick two necklaces to send, I'm definitely sending the anchor one! How perfect is that for summer!?

Putting under spoiler in case of huge pics!

How did you make those because they are super cute! I especially love the anchor one but my husband is in the Navy so I am drawn to anything nautical.

 
Random story time.  My mom has been babysitting my little cousin for the past few days, he is four.  She usually has him over for a few days in the summer so he can go in our pool.  My mom sent him to my room with some lettuce so he could feel my guinea pigs.  My room is so messy though.  When he was trying to get to the guinea pigs he kept coming across little obstacles.  Then he just turned around and said, "God damn, you got a mess in here!"  I was laughing so hard I was crying.  I couldn't believe he said that.

I love them all and am jealous of whoever gets them! These are exactly the sort of thing I'm drawn to at crafty fairs!
