Sweet Little Possum

I still can't believe that the "possum lady" just reached right in and picked this little guy up. And then, it just cuddled right up with her. My step daughter had found one once as well and kept it for a few weeks before letting it free. It was just a baby and she would go about her day with that baby possum snuggled up in her hair and the hood of her sweat shirt. Who would have ever thought....



Hey Baby! I'm a possum! Wanna play possum? (This picture is just TOO cute!)


"Cheeessseeee"

Little Blessings

I have found so many animals around my house lately. Below is the Blue Jay that is currently sitting on her eggs by my garage door. She made a nest behind out huge grape vine. I've seen lots of nests in my time, but not a Blue Jay's. I feel blessed when my children and I can experience this. She's been there for a while now and I really need to look into the period it takes for these babies to hatch.






We also had an adventure with a baby possum. It was so cute! I wanted to pet it so badly, but those teeth! We had it for a couple of days and then found a local lady who rescues possums. She has, like, thirty or so. When my husband dropped it off, she reached right in that cage and picked it up and started loving all over it. He couldn't believe it. It didn't even try to bite her or escape in any way. We thought, let's get it back for a few days so we can love on it and it can make a nest in my hair. But, it's probably just as well because then I would get attached to it and keep the little guy. Then I would be saying our zoo has four cats, two dogs, one bunny, one hamster and one possum. It's already crazy enough as it is!

Be sure to find the little blessings today!

More Pages From My Marie Round Robin

So, I'm catching up on my blog. Here are some more pages from my Marie round robin book.









This is my welcome page. It opens up to show my info, but I can't post the open pic because then I would be sending the world my address.




Sorry this is blurry. The tag on the right has the directions for my book on it. It basically says to have fun and do whatever you would like.







Ug! I hate it when this happens and my pic is sideways. Just lean your head to the right and it will be correct, lol.

This page contains several vintage postcards from Versailles. I included them as a gift for each artist that contributes to my book.



So there you go. I can't wait to see the finished book and I will be sure to post some pictures of that as well. Have a great week!

Blogs N Stuff New Site


My talented friend Cassandra has started a new site with wonderful images you can use on your blog. It's the same Cassandra that I have mentioned before who started one of my favorite groups that you can find under my "Other Places I Call Home". The Marie Antoinette Mail Art Group.

Cassandra is talented, not only as an artist with "material" items, but also does amazing work with digital art. I have several of her collage sheets from her etsy shop and now she has started this new site with digital images for your personal use. You can check it out by clicking on the above photo/link.

Have a great day!
