Less Is More Week 69 - Recipe

Saturday salutations to all!

Today I made a card for a challenge I've missed while I was away.  You can find it at Mandi's and Chrissie's awesome Less Is More website.  This week is recipe week.  We are to create our own recipe and bake it up in a pan which is not square, nor rectangle, but some other shape.  The word "recipe" made me think of cupcake shapes, pie shapes, gingerbread shapes.  But the words "shaped card," on the other mind, made me think of a terracota pot.  Like this:

I have my Cuttlebug and Spellbinders Nesties to thank for it.  And I thank C&M for the challenge, because I've been dying to try these dies.  I got a little too heavy-handed with the watercoloring/shading on the side of the pot, but I'm not very good at do-overs.  I think, unless it really reeks, that one's creation is still one's creation even if it doesn't always meet one's personal, and someytimes impossibly high, bar of expectators.

And anyways, my backyard looks like I've been gone ten weeks instead of ten days, and it's amazingly georgess outside so I've no time for a doover.  Ha, doover.  I like that. 

By the wayside, here's a word I saw on my "Word of the Day" that I thought you might like:

ingeminate \in-JEM-uh-neyt\ , verb:

To repeat; reiterate.

Seriously?  That's a new one to me.  It sounds like a word I would make up or use wrong on purpose.  "The people on the airplane were all coughing, so I felt sure that they had ingeminated me with the flu."

The correct way to use it in a sentence is, say, when talking to Mister, who likes to repeat himself unnecessarily:  "Hon, I get what you're saying.  Now you're just ingeminating yourself."  That sounds wrong somehow.

Either way, it's a cool new word.

Two years ago we had a little lizard move into the backyard as soon as the new wall went up.  The twins and I looked forward to the times when she would appear.  We named her Lizzie, but of course.  Last year we didn't see her at all.  But this morning when I went out to take pictures of my card, there she was!

Welcome back, Lizzie.  I missed you.

Please enjoy ~ and, as always, thank you for stopping by to visit.  Special thanks to you if you take the time to join as a follower or leave a comment!
