Frogs from Gin

Frogs, frogs, frogs! Gin sent this froggy prince package to me. It arrived on Friday after a busy week at school so it was a great way to end the week! My daughter quickly scoffed up the puzzle and hung the appliqued froggy hand towel in the bathroom. The fabric has frogs, turtles and says nature. How perfect, right?! I thought so too! It has been set aside to wash/dry before we use it for a future project. And the ornament, you ask? My new frog prince ornament, complete with a crown and royal cape, is hanging on my YOE tree. Thank you Gin!

Feast your eyes on THIS!!!

Lookie Lookie at all the froggy prince goodness I got!!!! Not only the most awesome ornament ever (upper left) but  super cool altered rolodex card (bottom) and ATC and charms!!!!!Thank you so much to Missy for a super duper cool swap!! I love it all!!!

August's theme!

Ready for a challenge?

Think of all the sweet fairy tales we read as children....
and think of how many have been turned into movies....
and think of how many had singing FROGS in them! Or frogs that were princes/princesses! (if you were me you'd also think of the campy flick FROGS!)

Hmmmm.....getting the idea?

YEP!

August's ornament theme: a frog, a frog prince, a frog princess, a dancing frog.
August's activity: rent the flick or read the book...
August's challenge: REALLY? Isn't this ornie CHALLENGE enough?

NO?

Okay then, create a toad adobe somewhere in your yard/garden or on your patio.
Pick someplace that will attract flying creepies that toads and frogs want to munch on. Add a flipped over broken pot for shelter and a bit of water and you are done! Leaky faucets are very popular with toads and frogs.

"Up high the flies are playing
and frolicking and swaying.
The frog thinks, DANCE...
I know you'll end up here below!"
