Polar

Although cousins, Rag Doll and Fashion Doll were polar opposites.

Fortune

Prissabella and her sister Florabunda were reputed to have spent a veritable fortune on their fancy dress-up attire.

Green

Seeing as how it's Spring and overnight the green leaves just somehow mysteriously appear !

Snap

I Spy

Hmmm, I spy with my little eye something that looks like eggs hiding in the grass.

Total

When I was a kid and went to get myself some candy the cashier's counter was always surrounded by all these National Inquirer newspapers. Now the National Inquirer of the 60's was not your celebrity rag that it is today, rather it was a horrific blood-soaked gorefest. I recall one headline in particular, "Man Rips Out Own Tongue" and there's this guy holding his tongue and all this blood everywhere. So just to get some candy and comic books one had to proceed through this gauntlet of gore and nightmarish horror. In other words in order to have my puchases totaled up I had to avert my eyes or be totaly grossed out.

Weird

I have been asked by the inimitable Majeak Ann to state weird things about myself. I enjoyed reading other people's weirdnesses even though it made me feel really boring comparatively. Such weighty issues must be pondered.

1. I live in Pennsylvania. I don't know why.


2. I am 53 years old. How did that happen?


3. I am the possessor of one of those super gigantic big brains that's exposed at the top of my head. I must disguise it with a wig elsewise my enemies would attempt to capture me and use my hyperintellect for evil.


4. I love cold weather. I spent the first 2 years of my life in Alaska.


5. As a teenager once(or honestly more than once) a friend and I just happened to be in a place that got raided by the police. We were released and not charged with anything and didn't tell our parents. Some months later my mother was in the beauty parlour reading a magazine. There was an article about a crime wave in the particular city where we were living and lo and behold my picture was in it and she recognized me. It was the only time my picture has appeared in a major publication.


6. A long time ago I discovered that if you rub used popsicle sticks on the sidewalk they sharpen to a point. I decorated these popsicle sticks with crayoned designs and sold them door to door. That was along time ago, like when I was 45.

I hope I have proven to be sufficiently weird. Please if they are so inclined would the following personages share the weirdness. I realize this is kind of an old thing now so only do it if it is fun for you. I do not believe at this present time there is a curse attached to nonparticipation.At least I don't think so.

Maisie goes to town.

Clowns need love too.

Superhero

80's

I did this around 1983 I think. I made it as part of a little book for my daughter, Emily who was born in '81. The car was a new Toyota Tercel which was a very fancy car for us at the time.

Phoenix

This is the backyard barbeque version. It's a new year. I even got to see a wild swan this week!

Peace

And on earth peace, goodwill toward men! Peace and love to all! I love you guys!

Help

Miracles help.

Mask

Well, daahling I've posted this before. But be a dear now, won"t you, and forgive me this itsy-bitsy oversight. I've been frightfully overstretched and this seemed simply too too apropos. Thanks ever so much!

Might

If Sunshine Girl had realized she would be placed on the shelf betwixt the infamous gingham dog and calico cat she might have reconsidered.

Invention

Esmerelda Ackerdorf , girl genius, was delighted when her perpetual motion marble chute/time machine was voted numero uno at the Daisy Hill School's annual science fair.

Thanksgiving

Ragdoll"s friend was overjoyed and surprised (plus relieved) when Ragdoll prepared a scrumptious feast of specially roasted acorns.

"Let us come before His presence with thanksgiving" Happy Thanksgiving everyone. I'm just grateful for a holiday that is at least relatively noncommercial.

Clear

It came upon a midnight clear that glorious song of old from angels bending near the earth to touch their harps of gold.

Smoke

Ragdoll lived way way out in the country. She was down to earth and grew all her own food and loved to bake her own bread.

Wind

Hurray for dandelions!

ghost

It was a dark and stormy night.

Smitten

The mean dragon bothering the castle was smitten by the brave knight.

quiet

"...in quietness and trust is your strength..." from the book of Isaiah.

Phobia

Fear of puppets or Pupaphobia - both debilitating and all encompassing.

Change

"The falling leaves drift by my window, the autumn leaves of red and gold." My dad used to sing us that song - so bittersweet.
