A Fantastical Gift from my Sis...Fractured Fairy Tales and Toads too!

HAZARD! May Cause Sleepiness That Lasts for 20 Years!

Once upon a time, a long time ago...one of my favorite cartoons to watch was Fractured Fairy Tales.

WOW! How cool...and a BIG THANKS to my Sister, Ami who was the fairy of fun that sent me this magical little gift!

Spring Has Sprung...And the Proof Is In The Picture!

Spring has most certainly "sprung" here, there and everywhere and the proof is in this awesome picture collage my super Sister, Shari shared on Facebook today of her budding garden in the great state of Illinois! (Wow...that's a tongue twister- sister...hehehe)

Shari's Garden Collage

A Garden of Spring-Sprunging Delights!

Green and glorious growing like sprites.

The sun is shining and the weather's getting warm

Lots of "springy" things are starting to transform.

So take heart my friends winter's coming to an end.

Soon it will be garden's of delights you'll have to tend!

Catch A Super Moon...19th March 2011...Moon Gazing Pop Art Mini Style

I ♥ a good moon gazing and tonight the moon will be as close to earth has it has been in 18 years appearing approximately 15% bigger, and could appear to be about 30% brighter than normal. Inspired by such a Moon-umental event I just had to create a Pop Art Mini to celebrate! I'll pretend that's me in the picture holding the star balloon and doing some "up close and personal" moon gazing with a couple cute little friends!

Me and my pals...Moon Gazing hehehe!

Hope you enjoyed a gaze and a gander..cause it's not every day we can catch a "Super Moon"
