Hello and a warm welcome
to the next challenge.
I’m so pleased to see new faces playing
along
and several of you entering more than
once.
Please stay and flutter for a while.
Winners results for #13 are in the post
below.
The next challenge is a tribute to my Mum.
One
of my childhood memories is of Sunday afternoons. Once the dishes
were washed up from lunch Mum would settle down in the lounge and play her records
(no such thing as Cd's or Cassettes in those days). One of her favourite
artists was 'Burl Ives' and I used to sing along to all of the songs. We both
loved one in particular called 'The Ugly Bug Ball'. This song
actually featured in a film with 'Hayley Mills' along with Burl Ives
called Summer Magic (1963)
and had an animation section of the film that involved all the bugs, bees,
butterflies and flying insects attending the
Annual Ball.
I couldn't find a current copy of that song so we had ' Waltzing Matilda' (another song that Burl sang on one of the records) played at the end of her funeral.

The 14th challenge is
Anyway to cut a long story short I would like
to see any type of insect on your project.
The more the merrier but one will suffice.
As long as it has Wings it can attend The Ball.
I'm joined this time by 2 Guest Designers.

ReplyDeleteHi Mrs A,
ReplyDeletejust popping my entry into the No 14 challenge.
Really beautiful creations from you and your guest designers.
I did comment on your superb box on your own blog so I won't comment this time.
Now we have a lady that is over eighty in our little singing group, and she sang the Ugly Bug Ball today, and sings it quite often when we go out to entertain.
Lots of crafty love. Jenny L.
