Pesky Piffles

                                                             "Bibliophile"

I'm back home and so are 'they'.  Yes the Piffles are back home and making total pests of themselves.  Having traveled clear out to California and back again they don't seem to want to settle down in their place on the shelves.

   

                                                              "Starr"

What am I going to do with them?  One has already started her journey to a new home.
But that leaves three - and believe me the 'left behinds' are really quite upset. 

                                                        "Alberta Algorithm"

And so I offer these noisy and not-too-cooperative Piffles as a blog give away.  Please leave a comment below and The winners will be announced on the Tuesday the 21st.

!!!AUGUST!!! Give Away

"Magic"

AUGUST - my least favorite month.  As a child, the novelty of being out of school was waning and I wanted to see all my friends again.  As an adult its a month that seems to take summer just one month too long.  Its hot, its humid (very), the flowers are wilting, there's heat haze in the air and well -- you get the idea.

"Joy"

So let's find some fun to get me through this month! 

"Joy"

 
I'd like to offer a "Whisper" doll each Friday in August to one of you.  Come one, come all!  Each Friday I'll pick a name (from the comments at the bottom of this posting) and send out a doll.  That name will be removed from the pool.  You only need to apply once. 

"Fly"

If you'd like to read more about this "Whisper" series you'll find it back in February, where come to think of it I was probably complaining about the weather also *smile"

And the winners are...

Starr of Wonderland Woods
Margaret Hall of A Myriad of Thoughts
Penny of Back Valley Seasons
B. Garner Bethany Garner (Bethany, please contact me re: your address)

This is going to be quite exciting for each of these dolls -- flying away all over the world.

 I know they are each going to be very, very happy.

Running Out Of Rooms

Sad news in Lickety-Split.  Poor Mother Murphy is not doing well.  Unfortunately her lumbago, rheumatism and bursitis are all rebelling as she climbs up and down the many stairs at the boarding house.  Add to that -- the county recently sent her a letter telling her that her neighborhood is not actually zoned for boarding houses.  Well, long story short -- she is packing up to move to a downstairs apartment in Arizona.  Woe is me!!

That leaves our intrepid little boarders without a home.  I'm hoping I can recruit new homes for them - what do you think - is there room at your home, or in your studio for a a new tenant?

Leave a comment here and I'll pick a name for each boarder.  I'm sure each winner will provide a warm place for these waifs.  The winners will be announced on Saturday the 14th.
