Flying

Camille and Brown got away just in time. She hadn't done her homework
or chores. She placed the balloon up to her mother's bedroom window and
got all the hot air she and Brown needed to take a balloon ride for the day.
he he he!

I´m sure Camille will have a great day.
It´s enchanting and dreamy, and about how it is to be a child.
We all could fly, couldn´t we

yeah, I am so happy there's space, I am making some lunch for us all right now. And Rocket Dog says you are most welcome, and if you feel like it you can open one of those presents on his back, he said he picked it out just for you. I wonder what it is.............

Enjoy, heee hee heee

pssst. PSSSSSST! Camille, down here. I'm hiding in your basket. I'm a stowin' away with you. Take me outta here, darlin'! Take me far, far away! And if you can't do it, I'm going to hitch a ride with that cute girl on the giant candy corn. Yeah, that's right. The girl with the keraaazzy hair.

I love these, V! These are fantastic pieces. I just LOVE hot air balloons, and this one is exceptionally beautiful. Hope you're having a creative and productive time. Take it easy, now!
