My Favorite Picture Book Blogfest

   Today I am protecipating in Megan of The Write at Home Mom's blogfeat. She has asked everyone to tell what their favorite picture book is. This is to honor all those authors who go us all started reading and enjoying stories.
 
   Today I would like to introduce my favorite picture book or rather books.
I just can't decide on just one of the series.

   Alexandra Day's Carl the Rottweiler books. I have been hooked since I saw the first Carl and baby book. "Good Dog, Carl"

   These books are great because the artwork is extrodinary.  Children of all ages will enjoy these books. There are very few words. The stories are all told by pictures. This allows your to make up your own stories, so they are constantly changing.

   I use to have all the Carl books at my house for any children that came over. I also bought my sister a set for her daughters and son. They enjoyed them tremendously, and you should have heard their stories of Carl.

   There are quite a few Carl book out now. Do yourself and every child you know a favor and check them out.

  Oh and check out Carl's website as well you will find it at www.gooddogcarl.com

Wish list Wednesday...

   I heard awhile back that if you want something, don't keep it to yourself. You will never get it that way. You should let the universe know what you wish for, and you will be amazed at the results.

  So with that in mind I decided to start wish list Wednesdays. What is on my wish list... lots of things. Practical things, fanciful things, things I would like to do, see or feel.  People I would like to meet. The universe is a place with unlimited space, so why should we limit our wishes.

  So here goes nothing...

   Practical wishes:



  I have a foodsaver that I got second hand. I would like to get these jar sealers to go with it.

I would need one of these as well

 

 




  







  What I wish to learn...

   I would like to be able to grow an organic garden that would supply Jack and I with enough food for the year.  Every year my garden gets a little bigger, so one day...

Yeah, that should a do it. Can you throw in the view as well?

    I guess if I have that garden I need to learn to can. So I probably need one of these too...

 













Someone I would wish to have lunch with...

Barbara Bush

                          Just think of the stories she would have to tell.



   One last wish for this week...

   I would love to be able to make a living from writing. I would then not have to worry about money or others for my living. I started blogging to work toward this one, so we will see.



   What is your wish? Why not let the universe know.

Doesn't that look like a quill pen writing.

Time for a change...

   I am feeling the need for a change. I need new fresh, clean outlook on my life so... I changed my blog design.
   Hey it is a whole lot easier than spring cleaning the house, and it doesn't require chemicals being lugged around.

  Besides my muses were getting a little tired of the mountains. Now that I have a fresh look, maybe I can refresh my blogging schedule and my muses.

Okay, okay. Maybe I should also clean my desk...

Predict your own death
Predict someone ELSES death
Write your own obituary
Write someone ELSES obituary
Plot a murder of someone sorely asking for it, step by step

   She doesn't care how you write it. A story, news article, prophecy you decide. The only requirement is the Death has to be either very strange unusual, bizarre, conspiratorial or the reporting be entertaining.

Thank you Nicole...

   As most of you know Wednesday was the BPB (Bernard Pivot Blogfest).  I would first like to thank Nicole at One Significant Moment at a Time for hosting this event.  It was a lot of fun, both answering the questions and reading everyone else's answers.

   I learned a lot from participating in this vlogfest. (Vlogfest, hey I like the sound of that. I think I'll keep it.)  Namely, I need to take up speed reading, and polish my typing skills.  Though by the 2nd day I was getting pretty good at not looking at the keyboard.

   I also found a lot of very interesting blogs and bloggers out there.  This is a big problem...how am I to read all these great blogs and write???  (Note to self sign up for Evelyn Wood's class today.) 

   I also found a lot of ideas for future blogs.  This will really help me out on the April blogging from A to Z challenge.  (Crap!  Where did I put that list.)
 
   If you haven't signed up for the challenge yet why not click the button on my sidebar and sign up today.  It sounds like it will be a lot of fun.  I can also write my blogs ahead of time and schedule them for the proper day...

   Okay, we all know that's going to happen, right.  I am a pro-procrastinator.  I will be typing at midnight hoping to get it in before the day ends.  But hey I can dream can't I.

   Well, I got to get back to checking out the other blogs before I get started reading this weeks fridayflash stories.

    Busy...busy....busy.


   I'll see all of yall around the bloggersphear.  Happy writing and reading.



   Guess what I just found.  I looked up Evelyn Wood to link here and this came up....

Field Marshal Sir Evelyn Wood

   Ah, I'm not crazy enough to say anything bad about man caring a sword, so I will let you make your own assumptions.
