Alice was infamous for her excess of eyelashes. She could blow a house down with a few flutters!

Nora receives a mermaid’s scale that shall serve as her magical guitar pick. Now she needs to find the golden rainbow and gather the threads of light to braid into guitar strings. Her quest is nearly complete.

It’s me! And you can download me and have me for your very own! Cuddle it, pose it in embarrassing positions, stick pins in it… it’s all yours!
I took a blank template, modified it, and added ears-and-glasses. You can create your own from the template at custom paper toys.
Oh, I am so behind in my illustrations… I’ve been so sick for over a month! But I’m feeling good now so it’s back to work! First off – 5 things.
My friend Zari has tagged me for the “5 things” about myself. Okay, I’m happy to oblige.
1. Possibly the oddest job I’ve had was as a shopping mall Santa. I worked at a high-class mall in Newport Beach, in warm California weather, with 3 pillows for a belly for an entire month. I posed for pictures with women on my lap, dogs on my lap, huge special-ed kids on my lap (who were all very polite and afraid they might crush me), and hundreds of kids with dozens of questions. It was awesome.
2. I have been to the Tian Tan Buddha.
3. On a road trip, I visited Bryce Canyon, Zion, and the Grand Canyon. All 3 were breath-takingly beautiful but my favorite was Zion for its amazing variety. I hope everyone gets to see these wondrous places in their lifetime.
4. I was at the 1983 Us Festival for “New Wave Day“.
5. I was a Renaissance Faire geek for 15 years. I worked at the Renaissance Pleasure Faire in Glen Helen (the same place that hosted the Us Festival) as a hawker, a vendor, and finally as a tapster at a bar. Full costume (including, yes, a cod piece). I met my wife there.
I’m tagging crystal driedger, livia coloji, jannie ho, and… well, I’m supposed to tag 5 but everyone’s been tagged already. Any volunteers?
The rules: 1. Link to your tagger and post these rules on your blog. 2. Share 5 facts about yourself on your blog, some random, some weird. 3. Tag 5 people at the end of your post by leaving their names as wellas links to their blogs. 4. Let them know they are tagged by leaving a comment on their blog.
