Drifting



Tara just couldn't resist the gassy baked bean served at lunch.
Being so full of gas she was often found "Drifting" by her dog.
Marshall always wanted a human balloon.
hee hee hee!
Happy Friday Yall.

    This is so amazing! You are just too funny. I love it. Marshall the dog is just beautiful, and Tara looks very content being his balloon.

    I just posted my entry for my very first Illustration Friday. Check it out at Dream Out Loud! I would love to know what you think, my Love.

    You are brilliant as usual.

    Vanessa, I have learned NEVER to have anything liquid in my mouth when I open your page. It's so much healthier for my monitor.

    THIS IS GREAT! You are amazing!

    Vanessa - this is just SO enchanting. Oooh, I'd love to be a balloon for a day -as long as nobody pops me!

    I was so excited to read about the Neo Soul Nursery Rhymes...I'm off to preorder right this minute.

    PS. There is an award waiting for you on my blog. I created it especially for wonderful people just like you and posted it before leaving for Turkey on 22nd May. You can find it under the post 'The Sweetness of Friendship' if and when you have a moment.
