"Tricks" of the Trade

One of the more fun things I get to do is to play tricks on people. I've had a few opportunities lately to work up some fake documents to "scam" people I know. Two of my favorites are below.

This first one is a letter to my husband and unfortunately, it didn't make it very far. He's too smart and figured it out way to quick, I'll have to try harder next time. He, his brother and a friend went on a weekend trip to Wisconsin a few weeks back. On the way up, my husband was behind the wheel of his brothers RV when a deer decided to embark on a suicide mission. Apparently, the deer stuck his head a little far out in traffic and ended up beheaded by the headlights, there was fur down the side of the RV. My sister-in-law asked me to make up a letter from PETA regarding the "accident". I mailed it to him at their shop a few days later, I thought it looked pretty good, but with too many added details, he figured it out!



This other one is a gift I created for one of the owners of the company I work for. His girlfriend was less than appreciative when he bought her the Fruit of the Month Club membership for Christmas a few years back, he wanted to play a trick on her so she would think she was getting Chicken of the Month Club this past Christmas. Unfortunately, it back-fired on him... she was excited about it! When she opened it, her family began arguing over who got what each month and when she found out it wasn't real, she was a bit angry with him - he just can't win! We even printed out a coupon sheet for her to share with friends and family and opened up a fake email address then emailed her a "welcome to the club" note. This one worked out perfectly.... too perfectly!





Stay tuned for some new images to be added soon. I have pictures of some beautiful houses and an adorable new baby girl I will be introducing!
