i love you a latte

has your fireplace ever talked to you?

mine has.

honest, it has.

see this bare spot

the one just under the mantle, see the big framed rectangle (with the tacky command hook stuck to it)

the big framed rectangle started talking to me (in a smoky voice kind of jessica the rabbit voice). she said:

“what’s up with the tacky command hook? i’m not the kind of girl to show her underwear, especially that kind!”

so – i started dressing her. a little easter thingy

a little autumn attire

but still – she wasn’t happy. she said (in her smoky, jessica the rabbit voice) “you just don’t get me, do ya? i need to be heard. i have a voice & i have something to say.”

i thought i understood, so down came the command hook & up went a banner.

& she was happy.

or so i thought. but somewhere along the way, i forgot what she had said. and soon i reverted back to my old ways.

occasionally words would be used - so sometimes she was happy

but sometimes she was not happy. even the use of red didn’t seem to help.

all eyes had been diverted upward & she was not amused.

“hey! i deserve more than a sideshot from a distance! & what’s with this flimsy bow & heart? i have something to say!”

meanwhile, back at the ranch, er i mean back at the parker house i was getting ready for my valentine’s coffee that you can read about here.

i kept being drawn to jessie, the big white rectangle (when i should have been doing important things like cleaning, cooking, paying bills). i could tell she was trying to say something & it involved my cricut. what? my cricut?

so down to my little crafting area in the basement i went. i went online in search of just the right “wingdingy” font. when i found it, i had my dear, darling hubbie download it to my zillion other fonts.

i went to my sure cuts a lot program & started composing what i thought jessie might want to say. then i turned on my cricut & started cutting.

jessie’s soooo clever, she knew a little play on words was needed for a morning like that.

*dear jessie, my sweet white rectangle under my mantle -

thank you for providing me with the just the right words to say to my friends.

love,

randee

p.s.

i love you a latte, too*
