I had a brilliant college friend who would go through an entire day putting the emPHAsis on the wrong sylLABLE, and on the next day would speak only pig Latin.

I too hope that you don't catch it. Ewww is right. I think that pink "blings" would definitely help, but totally agree with you about the greens. Too bad we don't live near each other because I have a few you could borrow. *wink* My family also jokes about the emPHAsis on the wrong sylLABle.Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06557240284148191886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9008375791436102784.post-2092404919837789982013-05-15T15:40:23.642-04:002013-05-15T15:40:23.642-04:00Having looked long and hard, I agree too that the ...Having looked long and hard, I agree too that the dark green is a touch strong in comparison with the delicate pear green ... it does what you wanted though, emphasises the sentiment beautifully ... and I do love the idea of light pink blings. My favorite emPHAsis word is epiTOME ... a wonderful word when said incorrectly! Hope all's well soon chez vous ...

I'll take the dark green on the flower over sick children and bloody messes any day. See? The green on the stem just isn't important in the larger scheme of things. Stay well. PS: my siblings and I do much the same as you and your sister. We do it so much that some of the stuff we come up with becomes part of the family vocabulary.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06683094014232133033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9008375791436102784.post-69231505281201237332013-05-15T12:45:58.492-04:002013-05-15T12:45:58.492-04:00And I thought my Mom and I were the only ones who ...And I thought my Mom and I were the only ones who put the emPHAsis on the wrong sylLABLE! Glad to know we're not the only weirdos! :)<br />I love your card, and don't think the green is too dark. It only adds to the emPHAsis of the single flower.<br />Hope you are all feeling better today, and that you stay well.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06921796643732720523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9008375791436102784.post-47161338242752357612013-05-15T11:24:43.313-04:002013-05-15T11:24:43.313-04:00I really like the design of your card!!

The rest of you post elicited a loud "huh" from me causing the DH to ask "what's up"?<br /><br />My son ( 11 years old soon to be 12 ) had a nose bleed yesterday as well. Unexpected, without any known cause such as getting hit in the face with a basketball or something, and our downstairs half bath also looked like the set from a horror movie. So much blood!! From just one little nose!! <br />Sadly, I had no dog to help with the clean up and had to wipe up the large drops of blood on the floor myself! :-)Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06846280229312949679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9008375791436102784.post-67994339464155494642013-05-15T10:14:17.676-04:002013-05-15T10:14:17.676-04:00Puh-lease tell me Daisy is a pet, and not a daught...Puh-lease tell me Daisy is a pet, and not a daughter!<br />richardbreakshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00730550824009960135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9008375791436102784.post-5228930559731285162013-05-15T09:53:39.890-04:002013-05-15T09:53:39.890-04:00Eww indeed!
