Rainy Saturday!

Wow! It's been pouring outside today. Better yet, there's lots of thunder to go along with it! You know how I LOVE a good thunderstorm! I always have since I was a kid. You think about thunderstorms and kids, and usually they are scared of them. Not Me! Anyway, here's a pic of our deck. No, that isn't snow on the deck. The rain knocked all the blooms off the trees, so now they don't look as pretty! Today is a great day to stay in and snuggle up with a good book, bake something ooey-gooey, or just take a nap. However, I haven't opted for any of those things. I decided to sit down and do a little pixeling. I am working on a new character for my member's area of Whimsical Beginnings. Here are a few shots of my website. These are some of my newest creations that I have worked on while I was on spring break.

Here are two of my newest teddy bears. The top one is Fizzle Bear. I just love him. There are lots of little faces to choose from to make him have different facial features. You can even make your own face. The bottom teddy bear is named Raggles. He is kind of a scraggly bear which leads one to think that he has been very well-loved! I think he is precious!

This shot is of one of my dolls, Fizzle. You may notice the name is the same as my first bear in the pic above. I made Fizzle first and then turned it into a bear as well. So the clothes that fits Fizzle will also fit Fizzle Bear. I am thinking about making Fizzle Bunny too. The sweet webset is from Rosey Posey Pixels. I just LOVE all of Jen's graphics!

So, now I am working on some new characters that will find a home in Whimsical Beginnings Member's Area real soon.
Stay dry and enjoy the day. I will!

Time For A Give-Away!! Read about the drawing.....

Well, it's that time of year....."time" is right. I don't do well with this time change. It's great getting that extra hour of sleep, but not enough to give up some daylight. With this being one of my very favorite times of the year, the time changed is equally disliked! I don't like the fact that it gets dark soooo early! I love my daylight!! hee hee
I have been working on some new lines for my site, Whimsical Beginnings. I'm very proud of my new bear, Fa-La-La Bear. He comes complete with Thanksgiving and Christmas props and clothes. If you want to take a peek, you can see him here (click on the "What's New" link when you get there).
Also, I have been making a lot of Thanksgiving and Christmas signature tags. So, I decided to have a little drawing. Just place a comment on this entry, and say, "Sigtags Are Sweet" and your name goes in the drawing for 3 sigtags, your choice. There will be 3 winners! You can see the choices here. I will announce the winners on Saturday, November 10!! Be watching here on Our Back Porch for the winners to be posted then!
Until next time, Sigtags are Sweet! *wink
