Collage Obsession - Ship

Looks like my ship's come in!    I like this to-your-door service.    Thanks, Eila, for the challenge.

Take a Word - Insects

This was great fun.   I used a background from Land of Nod, the book pages are from Flickr Collage Images (Jerseybarb), the little insect person is from Kubivet, and the spider and book were in my stash.   (I have not invited the ants to visit me, however)!

Three Muses - Exotic Bird

I hope you'll all bear with me, I seem to be in a bird phase!   I found these wonderful bird images at Flickr Collage Images and just had to find a home for them.  The lady is from Reusable Art, and the background is from Cinzia at Digichick.   Metal corners are from Lorie Davidson at Scrapbookgraphics.   Thanks for indulging my fantasy!

Collage Obsession - Time

The theme at Collage Obsession this week is "Time".  I chose to take it down a rather dark route!   The background is by Lenabem-Anna, some elements are Finecrafted Designs, others googled.  Bird brush is from Skeletalmess.   Thanks for the challenge, Tiffany, and thanks blog friends for stopping by!

Take a Word - Stars

Long ago and far away in the land of my childhood, there were outdoor movies on Saturday nights on the lawn behind the drug store in our little town.    My childish heart was captive to a farm boy in the area.   I'd spread my blanket, sit down, and as dusk fell and the first star appeared I'd whisper, "I wish I may, I wish I might, have the wish I wish tonight....I wish Willard will come and sit with me tonight".    Most times it worked and, as dark fell, he'd settle beside me.  Sometimes....sometimes, our hands even touched!    So long ago, those innocent childhood days.......

Sunday Postcard - Boat

In my search for something for this challenge, I came across this lovely Longfellow quote.  It seemed fitting.  
My mother had a dreadful fear of water, which she passed along to me.  I've therefore spent little time in boats of any sort.  When I think that the hardy 102 souls who came over on the Mayflower, along with the  crew of 25-30, spent 66 days on the bounding seas in a boat that was 90-110 ft. x 25 ft. it makes me marvel at their courage.  
Shell and starfish credit to Kubivet.   Thank you for visiting.

Collage Obsession - Surreal

I couldn't resist the challenge at Collage Obsession which was to create a surreal piece which includes an earlier entry.   My earlier "Deserted House" seemed to belong in this landscape where fires light up the night, vultures lurk in the trees, and aliens prepare to land.   This was fun, Rick!
