ScotiaMade—Wry Wit with Pretty Pictures


Starting this blog has inspired me to be more proactive about documenting my life in writing. The only problem is, it's all in my voice and from my P.O.V.—too boring.

So I have sought high and low for a voice that speaks to mine and somewhat like mine, but with more EDGE!

Have found one. Her name is Cheryl. That's how edgy she is—no last name. Like Madonna, or Cher.

I found her at her Etsy shop, ScotiaMade. If you have even one drop of unarticulated angst or dying-to-drip sarcasm in your person, please go there. She sells articulated wry wit on paper, with pretty illustrations, adding even more to the satire. And she even laminates said notes in the event you need to leave some poison on a car that will go unattended for awhile. BRILLIANT. Also, probably easier to remove fingerprints from a laminated card. Am making a note to myself about that now.

So, Cheryl, if you're reading this now, please drop me a note and let me know if you want the job of narrating my life—complete with dripping sarcasm. Well done, girl.

I've taken the liberty of 'mocking' up a sample of how we could lay it out, complete with samples from your shop.

I love it. That is exactly the type of humor my brothers and I like to pass back and forth. I will check her out!

Will definitely check her out. Love the mock-up; do you think she'd sell them by the gross?

Hell yes she sells thm by the gross.

And as my sister's name is Kathy I am going to go ahead and assume that was either her or my mother masquerading as her.

WT,

Have bookmarked Primrose. And thank you. And. if it makes you feel any better about him, Obama did ask. I'm just entirely too busy with my blog. He understood.
