Circus Animals #2 Collage Sheet
Not sure about a rooster as a circus animal, but he is so dapper in his Napoleonic coat and hat.
Clowns #1 Collage Sheet
Too cute. And here’s a sample using this collage sheet.
Buckle My Shoe Rubber Stamp
I’ve seen a few variants of this rhyme (mostly changing in the last half), but here’s the version from the vintage book that inspired this stamp:
One, two, buckle my shoe; Three, four, shut the door;
Five, six, pick up sticks; Seven, eight, lay them straight;
Nine, ten, a good fat hen; Eleven, twelve, who will delve;
Thirteen, fourteen, maid’s a-courting; Fifteen, sixteen, maids a-kissing;
Seventeen, eighteen, maids a-waiting; Nineteen, twenty, my stomach’s empty.

Elephants and clowns and circus…Oh My! It has been fun watching all the different themes. Thanks for starting the New Year right!
I’m working on a kind of twisted circus project…oh, those elephants get me every time…when i was in Botswana many moons ago, we watched elephants interacting in a drinking pool. My guide, Nigel(really ;), said “Couldn’t you just watch them all day? Who needs a telly!” He was right!

I just saw the preview for the new circus movie with Reese Witherspoon and Robert Pattison (Water for Elephants), so this giveaway is PERFECT timing. The movie looks amazing, but of course not as amazing as this giveaway. Maybe I will make a Water for Elephants tribute collage…
