We're Off To See the Wizard Blog Hop

We're Off to See the Wizard the wonderful Wizard of Oz to hopefully get the Tin Man a heart, the Lion courage, and the Scarecrow a brain! But there's the poppy fields to beware of as you could get very sleepy! The Wicked Witch but we know she's afraid of water. The flying monkeys . . . just totally freaky looking!!!! You're probably still dizzy from the spinning whirling twirling house and watching all those things passing by like a nightmare expecially that Miss Gulch on her bicycle! Poor Toto hiding in the basket, but can you blame him? Don't pay any attention to the man behind the curtain as he knows not what he speaks! And then there are the delightful munchkins that sing 3 octives highly than humanly possible. I almost forgot the good witch Glinda - how could I forget her --- she was just too sugary sweet to my standards but as a Good Witch goes, she was the best, but why didn't she just tell Dorothy she had the power to return all along and wait until the end - geesh!And then only bad witches are ugly --- come on now! Its the Merry Old Land of Oz! I have a feeling we're not in Kansas anymore Toto. . . .

We're paying homage to the Wizard of Oz today with our blog hop! So, grab your beverage of choice and those ruby red slippers of yours, click them twice and repeat after me - "there's no place like home, there's no place like home"!

There is no place like home - I would agree with that!!! I remember the end of the movie when Dorothy hitches a ride home in a hot air balloon. When I was a little girl, I always wanted to climb in that balloon and fly off with them. I have always had a fascination with hot air balloons. So when I found this great hot air balloon pattern on this site, (http://www.birdscards.com/) I knew I wanted to make it. So, when I was trying to think of what I was wanted to make for this project, I keep thinking about the flying monkies, the lion, the tin man, and the scarecrow. Of course, you know there is always Dorothy, but I wanted something different, so, I went back to my hot air balloon. I know it is nothing fancy, but I think it fits in with the story well. There is no place like home and as Dorothy found out, that is where they Heart is.
