Hello!!! First of all thanks tons for all the nice comments about the brand spanking new Teaser Awards Mom and I designed and which we handed out with abandon yesterday. Yep – that was one wild ride Teaser this week wasn’t it? Woo Hoo!
I suppose you’re wondering by the title of today’s blog what’s up. You probably think it’s got to do with my favorite thing in the universe (other than my Mom) which is bacon – right? You’d be right. Mom and I worked on that Tagxedo.com site and take a gander at this little gem!!!
Thankfully all my porcine friends are not THAT kind of piggy – they’re not the eatable kind……thank heavens! I’d noticed that they had a couple of pig shapes in the lineup of “shapes” you could use for the word pictures and what NATURALLY came to my mind? Of course – bacon!
I’m getting to be quite the little ginger artist aren’t I? Think I could sell my works? Maybe I should move to Paris and study art – live in a fabulous studio apartment with skylights and take classes at the Sorbonne or something like that…you know…become an international star in the art world.
Or maybe I should just go find Mom’s lap and take a nap. I’m getting all worked up aren’t I? Sorry about that!
Ha ha ha – that’s more like it 😀 Artists can get carried away, a nap is probably in order.
