Want to meet the culprit?
(-good thing he's cute! )
Introducing with a capital "W"....
WHATCHAMACALLIT
Yes, really, ALL 15 letters! That's a whole other story...in short, imagine...
the pup with one ear up, one ear down comes for a trial weekend, by Sunday night things are going well, my fingers and toes are crossed, the kiddos are excited, Daddy says "o.k. he can continue to stay, but I get to name him." (not really thinking out the fact that he was leaving in the a.m. for a 2 week business trip) jokingly I asked the children, "So what are we supposed to holler out the door when we want his attention, "Hey, Whatchamacallit"?" They thought that was hysterical and fourteen days later that's all he had been called...Daddy was a wee bit perplexed, but the name could not suit this particular pup any better!
The night of the feathers has been memorable...
completely covering the dining room, bedroom, and hallways...
Good thing we were only gone an hour!
The scrapbooker in me shows, as I preserved authentic feathers in my creation...(sewn up secure in a page protector)
recycled pillow coverings...
and played with my sewing machine dial while stitching..
Signing off with hugs and slobbery kisses :)
So, next time you find yourself staring at one of life's lemons
or a houseful of feathers find a little joy in it...
You'll be glad you did!
ArTish, You are the best!! The image makes me laugh and your story sure shows how attitude is everything! Fabulous creation!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great piece of art. The card is amazing, and even more so when I see the story behind it. I just love the last picture though, your smile is contagious.
