Made And Used With LOVE

I received this lovely. lovely gift from my friend Ronnie over at Heart and Soul.




A while back she posted a drawing I illustrated for her.
I wanted to create and send her a picture where a lovely, albeit naughty lady was getting caned.  Ronnie told me she loved the picture and posted it here. She sweetly suggested my artwork could be the answer to the nasty Google police!

Although unnecessary, she wanted to send me a surprise. We corresponded and she thoughtfully sent me the delightful present pictured above! I loved, loved the surprise!!

HOWEVER…….

It wouldn't be ME if there wasn't a story behind the arrival of the spoon!

Ronnie and I guessed approximately how long the package would take to arrive. Anticipating the gift could be used for TTWD purposes I mentioned I would be receiving a package from overseas. In my house all bets are off when a package arrives. Everyone knows and wants to SEE!

My mother in law rather suddenly moved back in with us. We are happy to have her once again, but there are privacy issues of course. I was concerned that my Mil would see the package and open it thinking it was from the Scotsman’s cousins from across the pond.

Anyway, one evening my guy took his mother out and was running errands….

I was quickly preparing dinner after work. You know those frenetic hurried nights when you are rushing around….?

My Scotsman and his mom walked in as I was putting food on the table and I heard her say, “Oh that must be the package Minelle’s been expecting!”

To say my ears perked up and I was excited would be an understatement.

So---- MY….snort……not....DARLING……Scotsman who can NEVER, EVER be discreet... Says, (Bellows) “Well, Open It!”

I give him the STINK EYE! Eye brows lifted and trying to whisper….., “LATER!!”

He says, “WHAT? Come on let’s see!!

With a quiet growl at him and eyes squinting I turn, sweetly altering my expression in the direction of my mother in law. (okay....remember I am feisty)

As I begin unwrapping the package I see what it is. Before pulling it out I comment to know one in particular, “oh WOW cool, this is the friend I always talk about “cooking” with! LOL!

 (Snort, sorry Ronnie!)

My MIL says…..I KID YOU NOT……

"What is that for?"

Now the woman hears my guy threaten to spank me just about every day…..

I think she knows…H*!! she has to know.

He's goofingly spanked me in front of her!

But just in case, we are leaving it in the kitchen until she forgets.

If you are wondering…..I have voluntarily bent over our island counter to test out the spoons effectiveness!


Perfect!


Made AND used with LOVE


Smiling.

Thanks Ronnie!

  1. Hi Minelle, what a wonderful gift! How lovely of Ronnie. It is beautiful!

    Oh my gosh, I can just imagine you trying not to open it in front of your MIL, with your Scotsman telling you to open it. I laughed out loud at your comment about it being from your friend you talk about cooking with, and your Mil's reaction.

    You will have to give us a review :)

    Hugs

  3. Hi Minelle, I love that wooden spoon, it's awesome. But that H had you open the package in front of your mil is embarrassing. Great that you had the cooking excuse.

  5. You are very welcome. Made me laugh again reading about your MIL. Love the title of your post.

    Can you image if I'd sent you a cane, what on earth would your MIL have said.

  12. It is such a beautiful spoon, Minelle. I can imagine the laughter when you opened it in front of your MIL like that. Typical of you! Good grief, fancy bending over a counter voluntarily!!!! I hope you kept your jeans on - wooden spoons are not to be trifled with.

    Hugs

    1. Hi Ami. I was not laughing...you all would have-- considering what you know about the spoon!
      Typically atypical, yes that is me!
      Of course I bent over with my jeans in place! Do you think I am daft?

      LOL don't answer that!

  13. Loved reading this - totally had me cracking up, from your not-so-discreet hubby to your maybe-a-bit-nosey Mil. Who knows what she really knows - but at least she doesn't roll her eyes at you like my kids do. I only blush when I'm in front of them, which only confirms to them that I'm a 'naughty mom'. ;)
    hugs,
    Cali

    1. Hi Cali. I get the blushing since I have always turned red when embarrassed! Your kids probably just think you are cute!
      I have so many laughing moments with my Mil!

  14. hi Minelle,

    this was a pretty good story and you did some fast thinking on your feet...........LOL. i'm betting you were blushing up a storm in either case............LOL. i checked out your caning drawing and i thought it was very good. you drew a nice looking spankee and i particularly liked her nicely rounded, spankable bottom. i also like the way you have her looking around trying to see what's going on. very nice pic. thanks, phil

  15. Hi Phil. Oh yes I was blushing! No matter how many times these things happen to me I still blush.... Or laugh like crazy!
    Thanks for the compliment on my drawing! I hope I get more time to draw soon!
