vanna, may i please have a consonant? ...................... {elvie-encore-post #9}


i'm a real sucker for anything that has a clever use of letterforms. so when i spied this box of swedish happiness during a recent trip to ikea, i instantly had visions of using them to leave notes for my little dutch sweetie on the kitchen counter, or playing cookie scrabble.....



but my abecedarian dreams were shattered when i opened the box, and discovered that it was filled with only the letters i, k, e, and a. three vowels and one consonant? this was a challenge that would send any wheel-of-fortune veteran straight into an alphabetical tailspin!




so, since there was no letter b in the box, i decided to create one for myself.....
in the form of a plan b.....
and just dunked them in a bowl of c-h-o-c-o-l-a-t-e.

i just love finding new ways to use letterforms!


have a great weekend!  i'll see you on monday!

i'm currently on a little bloggy break......

    I almost did the same thing with those! But before I checked out with them I realized how limited the letters were! Too bad -- it could have been a lot of fun. Glad you had some chocolate. :-)
