This smile is from my kitchen. If you aren’t sure about where it’s from, hold your cursor over the picture to find out.

This is the back of a page-a-day calendar:

Keep smiling, with the turn of every day : )

Answers: S. N. Phrases

I think I said I would try to find about 25 phrases that follow the pattern S__  N__ . Well, here is a list of 24 (remember, I didn’t want to repeat any of the words):

Safety net, Saint Nicholas, salted nuts, sanitary napkin, scientific notation, scoop neck, sea nymph (this one’s a little iffy), second nature, sensory neuron, serial number, sewing needle, Sierra Nevada, silent night, silver nitrate, sixpenny nail, sixteenth note, snub nosed, social network, special needs, staff nurse, stage name, stark naked, Swedish nightingale, and sweet nothings.

Cheers!

Phrase Phase: S. N.

It has been a couple of weeks since I posted here. I was away for 10 days over the holidays, and then I got out of the habit, I guess. But I miss the mini word-based challenges, and I will continue to take pictures of smiles and post them (and I am working on some other projects with them as well). So, I hope to not take two or three-week breaks very often.

Today’s puzzle: How many phrases can you think of that follow the pattern S___  N___? Phrases must be commonly used, two-word English phrases, not just two words that sound good together. Also, to keep the list shorter, please don’t repeat any words. So, if you use “silent night,” you may not use the word silent or the word night in another phrase.

I have four phrases that I’ve thought of just as I’m typing this, so I think the list will end up being fairly long. I’ll hope to post around 25 by Thursday.

Happy 2012!

Smile: Baggy

Here’s a smile from a recent search for a new purse, since the zipper on mine has lost its zip:

No, I didn’t buy this one. I’m looking for something as small as possible but with a good compartment for my phone, and room for a tiny notebook and a pen.

Happy mid-Deember!

Happy December!

Smile: Space Heater

It’s been a sparse month for the blog. I am, however, nearing the end of Nanowrimo (National Novel Writing Month). It has been a fun and informative experience, but it hasn’t left time for many other extra-curricular activities. So here’s a smile to get through the rest of November:

Smile: Chains

My apologies for the lack of posts lately. I’ve decided to try NaNoWriMo, so most of my spare time has been spent writing. Here is a smile for the weekend:

I will at least try to post smile photos for the next couple of weekends in November, then I hope to get back to more puzzles.

Smile: Bike Rack

I wish I had something more Halloweenish, but I don’t. We’ve been kind of busy getting our Haunted Garage ready.

Happy Halloween tomorrow and happy end of October!

Smile: Trunk

I’ve had one other smile that was formed by the handle and buckles on a trunk. This one was in a corn maze that I visited over the weekend. May your October be full of treats!
