Or the art of taking a sketch and a story and simplifying it! Hello everyone, here is my take on the MMSC sketch this week. I am so sorry I didn't make it last week, my oh my, am I tired...ooops, but that is another story!!! This week the gals at mmsc have the coolest sketch (which I'll be working on flipping back up later on) I just saw this as an opportunity to go "zen". LOL Well, with me it is always wacky zen thank you! If you want to try it, the link is here:
We have several theories from our Duchess Nut herself LOL It involves Jerry Lee Lewis. Then we have the green apple one. (we need to be nice to the elderly now, so I won't say anything about that one...LOL. Then there's a contraption from Ireland that Sabrina told us about, but does it have anything to do with the mystery...I don't know. Another one is the magic apple, which for some reason makes me wonder if Joanne hasn't been picking something else in this field... Meanwhile, Bertie and me (that's me, Maxie) are just having a couple of some fine apple martinis, right here in the shade of the blue apple tree I found...talk about your magic...or too much of those drinkies until Bobby calls. By the way, here is the recipe for it, it's in french, but as they say...a picture is worth 42000 words.lol) Hold on now Duchess, go easy on the vodka!!!

I don't know about YOU, but I have been picking apples in the orchard....somehow I think you and Bertie been drinking too many of her blue martinis....now you are seeing blue apples.....although...maybe you have something there....they sometimes refer to people as the apple in the eye and in a normal world there are not red eyed people...but there are blue eyed people....hmmmmmm...maybe I'll grab one of them martinis and join ya.......ah...so goooooood

Wow - you are in creative form today - what a story! Love your card - that tree is so cool. I wonder if the tree is really blue or if it just looks blue after a few of those drinks? Save a few for me - I was a little late but I need one after the stressful day I had!
