Musical Monday Travel Bug


GoodMourningGlory's Musical Monday prompt is "Dedicate a song to a friend or loved one." Click the button to visit GMG & hear what others are dedicating or to add your own. This one is for Frankie, Little O. & everyone else who dreams of traveling the world (and beyond.)



If you have any little adventurers in your house, my 6 yr old recommends these books - click images for details:


Right now he's really into Mary Pope Osborne's Magic Tree House Series. The kids Jack & Annie go on a series of quests through space & time in their magic tree house. Last night we started reading Goodnight For Ghosts which is set in 1915 New Orleans. The kids just met up with a 14 yr old Louis Armstrong when it was time for lights out.

On a side topic I'm still sporting the travel-bug this week & still playing with the Judikins Italian Script stamp. Used it on this hand colored photo printed on canvas, along with some watercolors, colored pencil, markers & paint pens. It is now matted & hanging in my dusty online shop, ArtSnark.etsy.com.
