Mother Hubbard with a twist

Old Mother Hubbard

Went to her cupboard

To get her poor dog a bone.

But when she got there,

the cupboard was bare.

So she hopped on her Harley

…and went and got some!

 

Happy Mother’s Day!!!

Hitched

Fiddle-de-dee, Fiddle-de-dee,
The Fly has married the Bumble Bee,
Says the fly, says he,
“Will you marry me?
And live with me, sweet Bumble Bee?”
Fiddle-de-dee, Fiddle-de-dee,
Oh, I love you, and you love me!

Away they go

My postcards arrived. I’m very pleased with the job GotPrint did on them.

While waiting… I’ve been updating my mailing list, so… batta boom, batta bing…. they are out the door and headed to their prospective clients.

As always, they were mailed with the usual good luck mojo send off dance at the post office and a fond farewell to these postcards….. wadda ya mean …”it’s not usual?” ;)

Anyway, goodbye postcards. I’ll keep my fingers and toes crossed… and that’s one to check off the list of goals!

 

Cheerio!

Jump

Playing Royal Leap Frog was always a little traumatic for the other players.  Artemis Amphibia, an avid Mel Brooks fan, simply shrugged and said…

“It’s good to be the King!”

Waiting

So what to do while you’re waiting?  Maybe you’re waiting for that next assignment, that next conference, or contest?

Well,  I’m going back and practicing all the stuff that sometimes gets overlooked when we’re on a tight deadline or have gotten a little rusty, or maybe just too close to see it. Ya know what I mean?  I believe that you’re never to old or experienced to learn something, all over again.  It’s being creative with your time and nurturing your art.  So go create something while you wait!

Puzzled

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 ”And the Grinch, with his Grinch-feet ice cold in the snow,
stood puzzling and puzzling, how could it be so?
It came without ribbons. It came without tags.
It came without packages,boxes or bags.

 

 

 And he puzzled and puzzled ’till his puzzler was sore.
Then the Grinch thought of something he hadn’t before.
What if Christmas, he thought, doesn’t come from a store?

 

 

 What if Christmas, perhaps, means a little bit more?”

 

The idea here was to take a master, like the animators that drew the Grinch and make him look dimensional, and textured. I really liked Jim Carey’s version of the Grinch but the old hand drawn version will always be my favorite.
