Our family gets up at dawn to start punking on April’s Fool Day. I am opting for a kinder, gentler April One in 2016. One that (I hope) makes you think and laugh.
EGGplant (noun) \’eg, plant\ Egg-yielding vegetation, germinated from those Easter eggs not found in last season’s hunt.
True story of where next year’s Easter eggs come from… #not.
Yeah. We’ve all been there. That day where nothing goes right. It seems the odds are ever NOT in your favor. Well, let’s change that ‘oh crappy day’ into ‘oh happy day’ with this play on (some of) our favorite emoji.
my nerdy favorite, of course:
Once a nerd, always a nerd. And for us geeks, there is no day like Pi Day- because math is the only subject that COUNTS…
It’s a BIG DEAL when friends that you play cards with are such fun and so appreciated! Here’s a nice way to let a couple know that they are the king and queen of the card group. A sweet way for the client to say thank you? Yep, ACE’d it.
My hubby and I have been married for 32 years (so far) and these cookies shipped off to our friends that were there from the very beginning. We had an opportunity to visit their home town after not seeing them for a very, way-too-very long time. The 4 of us were right back to our roots, laughing and exchanging stories like in days gone past. Couldn’t have been more wonderful! But, somewhere along the way, I realized that they had never experienced MamaMayerBakery decorated cookies. Preposterous! To cure that ill, I sent some valentine-ish cookies (it was that time of the year) for the pediatrician’s office where our friend works. She sent me the logo for the Children’s Clinic East to incorporate and my usual way with word play took over.
Okay. So it’s actually “a hunk,” “a hunk,” AND burning “love.” Should have made them peanut butter flavor for the King. No matter. Elvis has left the building. Special thanks to the great Callye Alvarado (the Sweet Adventures of Sugarbelle) for the original tutorial and hunky torso idea!
This valentine is for all those fishermen (or women) out there. Valentine’s Day is the season of puns so I’ve SCALED up my production.
Who doesn’t love a cheesy Valentine? Well, this is certainly one of my GRATEst ever. So zesty. Ripping the word play to shreds!
A healthy dose of Colorado’s history circles around miners. Some became quite wealthy and you can still visit their homes today (ie- the unsinkable Molly Brown. Actually, she was never called Molly until the movie; she went by Maggie or Margaret.). You can also tour the Colorado School of Mines impressive gem and mineral collection for free (and I have). So when I hear, BE MINE, I don’t think of the usual Valentine. I went for a more literal interpretation. Courtesy of those beautiful, rugged Rockies (filled with all kinds of “rocks”), I give you a gem of a valentine… And thank you Neil Young. Can’t get that song out of my head. Cute presentation thanks to BRPBoxes!
Hope you are the toast of the town this New Years Eve! Here’s to a wonderful and adventurous 2016.
And, I promise, this is my last word play for 2015… 🙂
Boxed and ready for our New Years host.
