Alright, it’s midsummer and in Kansas…a heat wave. One that won’t quit it seems so what better way to spend time than indoors cuddled up with a good book. Ok, well I haven’t done that because I have a little one running around, but it still sounds nice! Our first prompt for July is “If I were a fictional character…” I thought and thought about who I would be and well you can see how far that thinking got me…I am layoutless. It would be nice to be someone who travels the world. I would like to do that, but haven’t read a book about that. My days are filled with Curious George and Pat the Bunny and The Old Lady who Swallowed a Fly, etc, etc. I really don’t want to be a monkey or a bunny or an old lady who ate creatures so, I am sticking to being layoutless! But don’t be alarmed…the other storytellers pulled through and have some amazing creations for you…just look—–> Wait…let’s meet Melissa, our Guest Storyteller for the month…
“My name is Melissa. I have been crafting for as long as I can remember. My addiction to paper crafts got a kick when I started my first job at age 14. I worked for a stamp and sticker store in the mall. My addiction has now become an obsession. Since my daughter was born a year ago, I have been keeping busy taking pictures and scrabooking them. because I have to pay the bills and buy things to add to my stash I teach 3rd grade during the day. My husband is very understanding and has let me take over the back room for all my stuff. I am super excited to be a guest designer this month!”
And we are super excited to have her as a guest storyteller this month! Welcome, Melissa and thank you!! Now let’s get to the good stuff…the creations…
Melissa-Sweet little Dory…nothing like Little Miss Naughty, Melissa. There is a story behind you holding that book in the photo, I just know it!
Sara-She says, “If you haven’t read the Thursday Next series…go to your library immediately!” Don’t be ashamed if you haven’t read these yet, I am on the “haven’t read the Thursday Next series yet” list and I will go with you.
Stephanie-Yes, Stephanie wants to be Thursday Next, too. Guess her and Sara will have to fight it out!
Danielle-I loved Mary Poppins…how could you not have. “…a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down, medicine go down, medicine go down…”
Amy-I am liking this…travel to far away lands, have your house cleaned in a snap…Ok, I just really like the house cleaning part, but the travel is a bonus!
Stacey-She says, “I am a huge fan of the Twilight series and once told my husband that he is my Edward. It is a cute way to compare my love for him to Bella’s love for Edward. It is a bit of a family joke now. Now, I have put it in writing!” All together now…Ahhhhh!
Shannon-She says, “Miss Jean Louise Finch, from To Kill a Mockingbird. Only a couple weeks after we met, my bf started calling me Scout. That’s before he knew that To Kill a Mockingbird is one of my all-time favorites. This made him a keeper.” Again, all together now…Ahhhhhhh!
Lee-She says, “If I could be a fictional character, it would be Sookie Stackhouse from the True Blood tv series, because Bill is HOT and I would get to pash him…!” Now I really don’t know what “pash” mean, but I can only imagine!!
NOW…it’s your turn. Who do YOU want to be? Link up your creations to our flickr group for a chance to win the big prize for the month.
Until next time…xoxo…gossip girl.
Hmmm…maybe secretly I want to be gossip girl…on second thought-nah, I’ll stick to myself, Breann. tata.
