I got back from my voyage, crept in ever so quietly, trying not to make any noise with the keys to the secret keyhole...
I knew something was up. I saw a trail of glitter, not wider than a quarter of an inch. It started at the doorstep, and continued through my room. Of course, just as I suspected, it led me straight to the curious playroom...
It seems we have some new members in our family, in the form of elves. Although, I don't think they had a hard time convincing the others, they may have been responsible for a Christmas bash. I peek in and what is the first sign of havoc? Little Jeremy on a mushroom, partying. Yes, I know, out of control. Then two new faces... The elves... Oh, don't let their innocent faces fool you...
I get closer and notice the whole gang. Oh, they have toys and treats. They even put up a Christmas tree. I guess Auntie Louie sent them a Mark Ryden Christmas card, that got them so excited, they threw a party.. OH Auntie, did they clear it with you?
You can imagine what fun they had without me harping about using too many sparkles or being to loud... Where on earth did they find that tree???
You know, it is not that I don't want them to have any fun... It is just that something can always go wrong. And the fact of the matter is that, well, noone else can hear them but me, so how ever will they call for any help? Wouldn't ya know it, all of a sudden Faun Boy starts to get all fuzzy...
And, down he goes. As I always tell them, someone always ends up getting hurt in the end... Looks like there was a bit too much shroom nog served. Thank goodness I turned up just as they were all huddled around Faun Boy, not knowing what to do...
A glass of water and he was just fine, don't worry about him too much... I think I'll let them party til they all drop...
It is sooo good to be home. But, I am sooooo behind, I feel like my head is going to explode. I have so much to do. My goodness... Whirlwind world...
Treats for my shop update are almost ready. I know, I am later than I wanted to be... Oh, but these new pieces are dear to my heart.
As for my voyage... Thank you for all your wonderful wishes for my friend Carolyn. It was a long drive back home after her 5 hour surgery. She was so sick from the anesthesia. The drive from the other side of town was crazy long. We got every red light. She had to start her face down ritual right after we left the hospital. So, she ended up huddled on the floor of my car, behind the passenger seat. Sick and miserable. It was a rough night. The next day we awoke beyond early to head back out to the other side of town for the morning after visit. She can not see with the eye, but vision should return in 8 weeks. She looks like she was in a boxing match and lost. But, she is such an amazing sport, black eye and all. There are so many visitors and so much love. I have so much more to share on that front that is just astounding. It has to do with how some of you touched her so profoundly! Much more sharing to come...
I took this photo in her secret garden... As a thank you for all of your kindness...
Now, off to make some sense of my crazy world. Anyone want to come help me clean up the Elf-fest mess?? See you sooooon!!
