Mad (Lib) Giveaway Time

I'm having a giveaway and would love for you to spread the word about it. One recipient will receive a gift certificate good for one amigurumi plushie. You can decide which owl, bunny or cat you'd like. These are great for your keys or backpack. Keep it for yourself or use as a gift!

All you need to do is offer some words. You don't have to travel to another site. You don't have to choose your favorite.

This is a homage to all those wonderful Mad-Libs that we played with when we were young(er). And, for those who like to cheat, you can find the story we're filling in if you look hard enough (on the 2nd page of this blog) but that would be cheating wouldn't it?

Here's what I need:

Name
Activity
Active Verb
Noun
Time of Day or Year
Verb
Verb
Plural Noun
Verb
Location
Verb

Sorry, I was never good at diagraming sentences. But, let the fun begin!

Enter as often as you wish. All entries will be used to create stories for the Guild of Good Luck Owls. One entry will be chosen randomly as the winner of one amigurumi plushie. If you would like to have your business name mentioned in the description as the creator of the story, please link me to your store.

This is not affiliated in any way with Mad-Libs. It's a fun way to get your kids excited about words. If you don't have a book, please stop by your local bookstore and purchase one.  Thank you!

Crochet and Doctor Who

This past month has brought me joy (my first craft show of the year) and sorrow (my faithful car was totaled). And in the middle of it I've been crocheting like crazy to keep up with the demand of the amigurumi plushie keychains and having a ball.

So many people have stopped by looking and asking. There's always a new way of looking at amigurumi.  I've has requests for different animals. And requests for cat toys. And requests for larger plushie toys. I promise, as time allows I'm investigating how to expand and add new lines.

In the meantime I wanted to share with you my weekend. It was a Doctor Who weekend. You know how I love The Doctor. These are the things I have gleaned from the marathon.

1. Be at the opening ceremony torch lighting at the 2012 Olympics. The Doctor will be a torch carrier.

2. Cybermen can have fun.


3. Rogue Klingons can find jobs working for Daleks.


4. A verbal smackdown between the Daleks and Cybermen can be funny!


5. Rose Tyler (Billie Piper) can't sing. Why do I say that? Because I want to! lol!


I hope you've enjoyed these as much as I have!
