STAMPtember - Day Thirteen - Be The Best You!
I Need To Talk About Some Things.
I’m not the sit down and shut up type. I’m not the quiet one. I’m not sorry if I piss you off with my opinion, also known as my truth.
Truth is a hard thing for a lot of people. They can’t see it, can’t actually fucking see it. They hear something from someone and they run with it. And when they’re told otherwise, they’re so fucking blind to the fact(s) that:
a) they were lied to
b) they were stupid to believe the lies
c) the truth might not align with what they think/feel/want.
The ridiculous behavior of the radical left over the last 72 hours has been absolutely insane. It’s been draining and disgusting and THIS--Not people joining together in prayer, not flying an American flag, not voting for the president who GOT THE CRIMINALS OUT OF THE COUNTRY AND RESCUED TRAFFICKED CHILDREN!!!!!!
THIS behavior makes me sad for the state of the country.
This behavior makes me ashamed of this country.
I’m so pleased to see people who said horrible things—some of them to children—being fired for their despicable words. Actions have consequences and they need to learn that first hand.
There are a few amazing things about this country that MY president is protecting. Freedom of speech is one of them. But here’s the thing about freedom of speech. It means that yes. You CAN say something. But that doesn’t mean that (once more for the cheap seats) your actions won’t have consequences.
These companies and school boards and city councils have rights too. They have the right to fire someone who does something reprehensible. That’s freedom for ya.
Outside of someone like Bin Laden, celebrating anyone’s death might be the worst thing another human being can do. Actually those scum bags aren’t human beings they’re piles of excrement. How does someone like that look in the mirror? Look at their kids??
You don’t have to like Charlie Kirk. You don’t have to agree with him. What you DO have to do is be horrified at the manner in which he was murdered. People are afraid to call it that but that’s what it was. He was murdered.
I have been unfollowing and unfriending people like mad. I have zero tolerance for heinous behavior. I’ve unfollowed people in the crafting community that I’ve followed for years. I cannot support such horrendous behavior. I can't wrap my head around adults acting in this way.
One woman on IG actually used Charlie’s death to whine about illegals being deported. Honey, you’re a huge pile of shit. One has nothing to do with the other, except that Charlie was a legal citizen who worked and contributed to society. He didn’t cross the border illegally while collecting every freebie he could get.
You know, I wasn’t going to name names, but I will name one. Beth Kingston, whose IG is @thekingstonhome. I used to really like her, but she was whining because dead democrats are worth more than a dead conservative. She was whining because she had to “unfollow” women for supporting Charlie Kirk. She shared pages of women “to follow”, and I only clicked on one profile, just to see, and saw a photo of George Floyd that really told me all I needed to know about that woman and the rest of them. Why is it that the “party of tolerance” has absolutely no tolerance for anyone who doesn’t buy into their psychopathy??
This senseless murder has brought out the absolute worse in "humanity" but I've seen the most of it from women. I cannot fathom this behavior. How do these words even come into your heads?!?!?

**CARNIVAL** Card For All Seasons IG Hop
Welcome to the Card For All Seasons IG hop hosted by @createwithkas. This is Week Five and our theme is CARNIVAL!!! Soon as I saw the word masks in the idea list for the hop, I knew that I wanted to make something inspired by Fifty Shades of Grey.
This card was actually created using several layers of glitter and foil cardstock, and that fabulous mask image was actually the cover sheet on a pack of glitter paper. I love reusing things and it's just working fabulously for this hop.

**MY FAVORITE HOP** Favorite Fun Fold
Happy Sunday everyone! It's time another My Favorite Hop on Instagram hosted by @sarae.furr_thecraftyfarmchick. This week our theme is Favorite Interactive Card!
My favorite is definitely an easel card. It had been awhile since I'd made one and this was so fun. This paper is from Spain and isn't it just GORGEOUS??! I'm getting serious live action BATB vibes rather than the cartoon and I'm totally here for it!
I wanted to show the whole inside of the card where I put a space to write.
