sometimes ideas get stuck in my head, fermenting for a long period of time before something related to said random word or image pops out again. Many, many months ago, I read Jane’s brief mention of fat fairies. This connected in my head with a very funny fairy song that someone sang at a voice recital that my daughter was part of about four years ago.

well, it seems there pretty much hasn’t been any. I feel as energetic as a deflated balloon- I’m not sure what it is. Every fun thing I’d like to be working on requires doing a hard and boring clearing up and organizing job. Groan… so thank goodness I signed up to do the Valentine ATC swap

Can you see the Salley Mavor doll? And there is one of my Christmas 2003 dolls. There is also a little house ornament that I use to make back in my clay days. So much fun! Thanks so much Lyn!
