Yum, Pie! CASology #55; FMS #98; TAWS #34; NBUS #35

Good Day!

I was wondering if you know you can buy a new Logitech keyboard these days from Amazon for $9.99.  Remember all those times your heart stopped when you dumped over that beverage?

 

I hated my home computer keyboard for the last mnfphn years because the delete key was in a different place than where it is on my keyboard at work and it drove me nuts.  I assumed that keyboards were expensive and anyway I would get used to it.  I never did.  Finally tired of hearing me batch about it every day, Mister looked into ordering me a new one.

 

I promptly christened it a few minutes ago by dropping a big glob of my Fudgsicle on top of the N and M keys.  Luckily, the keys pop right off for easy cleaning, a fact I didn't realize until after I'd licked them clean, but that's all right.

The card I made for you today is based on this week's great cue card word at CASology: "dessert."

I used this week's sketch at Freshly Made Sketches, drawn by the talented Jen M:

And I'm also entering The Alley Way Stamps (TAWS) "Be Inspired" Challenge, where we have this inspiration photo:

I've used some of my other TAWS stamps in the past, but this is my first time playing along in one of their fun challenges!

 

As always, many of the challenges I enter have awesome sponsors and prizes, so I hope you will click on the links for the details, meet the fab Design Teams and Guest Designers, be amazed by their inspiration cards, and join in these fun challenges!

Here is my square card:

That is obviously a key lime pie!  The striped metallic paper is by K & Company.  The image is from a NBUS stamp set from TAWS called "Adorabowl."  I colored the pie with Spica pens.  The enamel dots are from My Mind's Eye.  The Yum was handdrawn by yours truly.

 

Yours truly means me.  It used to be an old-timie closure above the signature lines on letters.  Letters were documents that your grandparents and preceding generations used to write by hand or on typewriters and, yes, even on early computers.  Typewriters were machines ... oh, forget it.

My mini-myrtle tree is now almost in full bloom, so I thought you might like an updated look at it.  I want to save it forever by putting it under one of those glass dome thingies that were a hot home décor item back in the 1900s.  It's just so adorable.

 

 

And how about squirrels?  Do you find them adorable?  I know opinions vary widely.  I find them adorable when I don't think about what terrorists they are towards birds.  As a bird lover, it presents a conundrum.  Our little neighborhood squirrel, named Miss Creant, came by today.  My guess is she planted a peanut here:

Ya think?  Perhaps this is how the birds get their revenge.  Any peanut-loving bird would spot this hidey-hole a mile away!

Enjoy your day!  No, seriously, enjoy.  LITS*  Eat pie!
