A huge congrats to one of the nicest people on SCS, Connie Jo!! You certainly deserve to be da queen today.
Connie Jo: I hope you don't mind me taking liberties on the case of one of your sweet Christmas card, but we were supposed to add a fond story to go with our card this week. Since you know Anne Ryan and we know all about the banter that goes on, I hope you won't be offended on what I did to your card. I promise I will make another one to honor your beautiful talent, but this is a contest, right?
The FruitcakeÂ’s UnFond Memories of Christmas Past:
Twas the weeks before Christmas,
And all over the site,
Were The FruitcakeÂ’s beautiful holiday cards ,
Made most every night.
The FruitcakeÂ’s cards were created with the utmost of care,
In hopes that Anne Ryan soon would be there.
Fruitcake was happy for all that she did,
While Anne Ryan was busy flipping her lid.
While The Fruitcake and cards were happily creating,
She would suffer soon from Anne RyanÂ’s berating.
Away to my cards,
I held on tight,
While Anne Ryan continued
To fill me with fright.
The Fruitcake wanted love and peace to show
While Anne Ryan continued to be her foe.
When, what to my wondering eyes should appear,
But Anne Ryan with three faces that put me in fear.
With a little more time, so scared and afraid,
I knew I was in for Anne RyanÂ’s tyrade.
So, this is my humorous story so feeble,
But I’m resting up now to fight Anne and her “people”!
Sorry Anne, I just couldnÂ’t resist this and since you
named me Fruitcake, I felt it my duty to do something with a Christmas theme since Fruitcakes are eaten mostly at Christmas.
Debzi, put on your investigative hat and make sure that you confirm that this is, in fact, Anne Ryan. The fake diamond ring, red lipstick, chin hair, fake gold purse, bloodshot eyes, rumpled thrift store clohting and sticking her tongueth out pretty much confirms it is HER, but I'll rely on your 9999 IQ to set the record straight!
Anne, itÂ’s also an opportunity to make your very SPECIAL
holiday card for December. I can now check you
off my list of Christmas cards to make.
I hope anyone who sees this hideous card will understand it's all in humor and that I really do better coloring than this. It's just I had to depict Anne in her rumpled thrift store clothes.
Thanks so much for taking a look and feel free to exit out as soon as possible!! LOL!!

Pamzi, this is TOO funny! I'm not sure I understand some of it (OK, well, most of it!!), but I do love how you've used all of those hilarious RAK images from Anne. So very creative--both with the written word and the hilarious art work. You go, Pamzi!! RYPH!!!

Pamzi, you were super brave to do this card, but it was soooooooo... worth it. I will remember it forever - it is so funny! Your poem is wonderful and actually rhymes and makes sense - you've got talent girl! The pictures of Anne are wonderful - however did you get them? You must have had inside help - that is who Anne needs to be worried about the most. If I had people close to me feeding pictures like this of me to others, I would be watching MY back! Who is it Pamzi - inquiring minds want to know.
I am so sorry that I commented late on this one - I haven't been feeling to sporty or creative in the last week, but I am better now. I think this is a perfect Xmas card for Anne but the one you did after it is better for CJ.
Still laughing.......
