Lost In Paradise?

I got lost in cyberspace today. I was searching out handmade greeting card sites. One site was really interesting and I clicked on a card that caught my eye. In order to view it up close, I had to register and sign in. Ok. I'm fine with that. I filled in all the spaces, clicked "no" for their newsletter, clicked "no" for their emails, clicked "yes" for agreeing to their bylaws or whatever.

When I hit "submit", I was taken to another page. No, this isn't the page I want, I want that other page where the pretty card was! I clicked on my back arrow - whoa! My back arrow was gone! I clicked on the little "x" in the box at the top right corner. Whoops! The whole thing disappeared! I was back to my desktop. Drat! Now I try to find that card site again. Where the heck is it? What was it's name??!!?? Well, crap! I google "handmade greeting cards". Now I've got lots of sites to choose from. Which one was the one I wanted? I don't know. So I try another site. And another. And another.

After about an hour, I think I've gone through all the cardmaking sites know to woman. This is taking up too much of my time. After going through page after page, site after site, back arrowing, forward arrowing, clicking this, clicking that, pulling out my hair, I finally gave up.

Maybe one day, in the not-to-far future, I'll stumble across that particular site again.

Etsy.com is a great place for everything hand made.
