WWI, unicorns, and G is for Girl.

Real words from my children.


Upon the completion of a Civil War dvd,
with the new WWI dvd in hand:

"Wanna go ahead and watch WWI? I hear
it's pretty good. Good enough they made
a sequel. Supposedly, they're working on
making it a trilogy."



Two children:
"I love horses."

"Yeah, and unicorns. But there are no
unicorns, because they cut their horns
off when they're babies."

(Please imagine the horror in the girl child's
voice) "You can't cut off a unicorn's horn!"

"Yes, you can, with a saw."

"NO, you can't. If you cut off a unicorn's
horn, it kills them, you dummyhead!"

What's that? Why, yes, yes, we do indeed homeschool.

*sigh*
Kids really DO say the darndest things, even when
they're teenagers. Maybe ESPECIALLY when
they're teens!


Here is a G inchy:

I have a G is for Giraffe, too, but no pic yet.

a not-so-great week ends well

Been sick with a cold + weather here = b l e a h .

A very short while ago, however, I found the stack
of mail that had been brought in, but I hadn't seen
yet, and in it was the new Somerset Studio:



With my little Alice like so:


She had other friends, but they didn't make it
into the Somerset Alice mix:




So things are looking up around here.

Anything fun happening with you? Made anything
lately? Leave me a link--it's snowing here AGAIN,

inchies

Here is a group of inchies
made for a swap at Latest
Trends in Mixed Media Art.
The images are from one of
the Itty Bitties collage
sheets at Altered Pages.
I like using the jewels,
but they never photograph
or scan very well. They
look surprisingly flat.

Well, too bad, yes? They're
all shiny and fun when
you hold them in your hand,
and that's more important--
at least to the person
holding it! :)
