Phew! I have been working feverishly to get here all morning!! I have so much to share. I am sooo sad to see that last blog post go! I wanted to live in that Wacky Fanciful Pirate moment forever!! Alas, we can relive it through flickr photos. Thank goodness!!
So, I have been living in a funny tiny moment, with my miniature table and typewriter, and teeny tiny sheets of paper, trying to tell me secrets...
I don't know if you share this with me... But, I am an intense dreamer. By day and by night. I will say, sometimes (like last night), I have such intense dreams with so much detail that I can hardly wake myself up. My head feels so heavy, and so the story continues, until it decides to be over. All kinds of stories calling to me... Some times, dare I say, they feel more like messages than dreams...
As a child I was a serious sleepwalker & sleeptalker. I thought, I had outgrown this (I have not, more on that next time). That I would no longer be exiting the house by night or acting out oddly while asleep. When I was little I exited our beach house in California, in full sleep mode... And survived to tell the tale ;)
Now, if only I would follow my own advice, and write it all down, the second I wake. Or the second a day dream brings me a tale, so juicy, so scandalous, so fairytale madness like... But I don't. Do you?
Needless to say... I created a new print with many of those ideas in mind... The Writer, ideas floating around... The storyteller... Being urged to tell a tale... It is part of my Creature Collections series...
The Writer
I really do think there is a storyteller in all of us... Just waiting to take stage, with ink to paper.
I also have two new Charming Silhouette prints...
Cuckoo...
And, Mushroom Love...
So that is that... Now for some Mother's Day fun stuff!! I have a PDF file for you with Mother's day Cardlettes, free for you to use. Now, the photos I am going to share of them below, are simply for you to see the detail...
However, you MUST click on the following link to get the crisp printable PDF file:
"A Fanciful Twist" Mother's Day Cardlettes. (it is a large file and might take a couple of minutes to download)
So, here are the examples of what they will look like when you click on the link above to print...
The Queenie
Fabulous Mom!
Mammie to all little creatures...
Moms are so sweet!
And, you know, those times your kids are trying to do something good :) But, it ain't so good at the time. However, the memory is good years later, after you get the batter off the ceiling :)
We made pancakes...
So there you have it! Print them off and share them with anyone you know!!! Send your friends to get some too if you'd like!!
Now, for the winner of the Pirate's Wacky Wacky Wacky loot bag!!
Yo Ho Pirate's loot for... Nancy of Fete Et Fleur!! Yippeeee!!! Send me your address Miss Nancy!! Mr. Pirate is waiting to set sail and bring you your wacky loot!!
I hope all of you get to use your Mother's Day Cardlettes!!! xoxo, see you soon, V
ps: I had no idea I had so many lovely visitors to the Pirate's Soiree until I went to do the drawing!!! Seems that typepad never sent me all the e-mails!! I am having so much fun making visits. We were so busy all weekend. Mr. Lovee played (as he does ever year) with his band (he is a an upright bassist) at the folk festival Saturday & Sunday. So I am still getting to pretend it is Pirate day (and tomorrow too) and make visits to friends old and new!!! How fun!!!
