hobnob: 1. To drink sociably 2. to associate familiarly
Here is the story behind my card... I don't drink anything stronger than Dr. Pepper... so I thought about what I drink the most. I love tea. I have loved sociably drinking tea in the cyberworld of Mothermark's Tuesday Teaparties. So the teapot and teacup are in honor of my friend Cindy. That got me thinking of the rest of the definition... to associate familiarly. To me, that describes scs. I feel like I KNOW so many of you by seeing your avatars and your cards, but it is so one dimensional. In my opinion, we all HOBNOB when we look at some of the great cardmakers creations...does the Dirty Dozen come to mind?
I went a step further and read some of the etymology of HOBNOB. Its origin was probably (Have - Hob) and (Have not - Nob). It also can mean to give and take. I loved that last thought. To me, again, that is SCS. We give and take ideas that make us better crafters-cardmakers.

Great work on this one, MariLynn - love the pink and white with black combination. Still thinking about hobnobbing here - I keep coming back to a type of cookie. One nibble and you're nobbled...

Well first, MariLynn, I love your card! But even more, I love your explanation of your card! I so identify with how you feel about SCS and the way you interpreted the word challenge: hobnob! Wonderful card and fantastic interpretation!
