Disaster # 628: The time I had to go into my neighbor's yard while they were on vacation and feed their dog Flipper. Which dog did proceed to bite me smartly on the achille's tendon. Sheesh, it took me decades to get over my fear of little dogs.
Okay, this is me sending a wrecking ball into my parents' peace of mind by ditching school and getting caught (only one of a lifetime of infractions). All my friends ditched and never got caught but the ONE TIME I tried it the truant officer came right to the house and I was in hot water. Real hot water. I was supposed to be a good example and instead I was a common truant. *sigh* (I am the little figure in the cage; grounded for a month.)
This is me trying to figure out how I can run away from home and join the circus. I can already do the backbend and the splits; I'm pretty sure I can find a place there with the other freaks.
Here I am with Princess, the little pooch that belonged to a different neighbor. Did he bite me on the back of the heel too? You're darn tootin' he did. Twice. Grrrrrr, little dogs.
I did this some time ago. Seems pretty sappy after the childhood series but it is a true reflection of another part of my psyche. I have a lot of different moods. Yes.I have to thank Judy for the Rawkin' Girl Blogger Award. I do rawk whenever I get an opportunity. But she rawks more than I do. Her blog will change you for the better. Check it out. And thanks, Judy!
And I have to thank Kelly for the Rawkin' Girl Blogger Award too. Once again, baby, YOU'RE THE ONE!! I've never met either of these women in person but I have their backs. Kelly, you are a spiritual giant. I only wish I'd been as wise as you at your age.
My understanding is that I should choose others to pass this on to; egads, five apiece if I understand correctly. Since I never, ever could do as I was told I have chosen to send all ten Rockin' Girl Blogger awards to someone who hardly ever posts to her blog (Kelly, I have no standards at all) ... ready?TEESHA MOORE! I've chosen her because she is my hero in all things. She models the art of living her spirituality, right livelihood, kindness to all. She is not just an artist, she is a guru in the art of life. And people, only FOUR more days until the Artfest schedule goes up. Oh, thrill, and then I get to make lists and visit websites and choose. Have I mentioned yet that attending Artfest has changed my life? Well, it has. I love Artfest and will be its biggest cheerleader as long as I can. Thank you Teesha. You do rock.

oh yes! you have standards all right. and they are your own (someone who almost never posts. love it!). that's what makes it all so exciting to me! you do RAWK girl! and i am totally digging these SA-weet canvases with stories. mean little dogs, truant officers!! grand, grand! now, can you do one where you pour a big mocha on a mean lady's van at your local coffee bean & tea leaf? tsk, tsk. snicker...
Ha! They beat me to it, I was going to give you one of my nominations. Ah well, great minds and all that. Great choice picking Teesha! Few people have changed that many lives!
i could not resist joining the other kelly commenters here to say Woohoo for your rawk and for teesha's rawk! your doggie stories reminded me of the time i was dog sitting a neighbors dog while they were out of town. i went to feed and water it one day, and it had died!! i was horrified! it was an old dog, not totally unexpected, but certainly traumatizing to an 11 year old!

That's 3 Kels or lelly's and 2 Judy's - come on we need one more Judy to even up the numbers here - lol.
Just lovin those stencil art pieces and thanks for your wonderful comment on my blog too. xo
Not a Kelly, but my name begins with a "K", does that count?
LOVE this whole series!!!
LOVE that you are a bad girl!
LOVE thinking about a workshop with you and Katie.
OK my names not Judy, but I know Judy from Aus. so does that count.
Great stencil Judy, love the stories the pictures tell.
We used to have a border collie and also an Australian terrier cross. The border collie would round up the visitors and the terrier would terrorize them by barking and running at their ankles, he was adorable though when you made friends with him.
I agree Teesha was the inspirational guru to many of us.

I am quivering all over with pure delight at seeing this latest series. Doggoneit your little girl storybook stencils are so RIGHT, so WONDERFUL... What you needed as a child was someone like me to show you the ropes of BADNESS. I perpetrated many acts of defiance, played many pranks, and in general sowed my seeds of tomfoolery everywhere. Keep your eye on the horizon. My inner child is headed your way on horseback. Will swoop you up and off we'll go! Little dogs and truant officers LOOK OUT!
p.s. I'll be wearing a red cowboy hat, pink boots, and a zorro mask. do not be afraid.
absolutely fantabulous series...the stories are priceless! and i can't wait to see you and mary riding around on horseback - her in red hat, pink boots, and zorro mask. what YOU gonna wear mz judy....hmmmmm?! :-)and will you ride by here so i take take pics? and kelly Sn...you're soooo BAD!!!
such wonderful art!
