A STAR IS BORN...AND NEEDS YOUR HELP!

A Star Is Born!
Bella Marie
Okay, maybe she's a starlet!

And like many young ingenues,
she made her entrance on stage a little too early!
I mean, what was she to do?
The spotlight was on her...
they were calling her name!
Weighing in at only 15 ounces,
she made her grand entrance!

Look at her now...
the darling of the stage!
Does Shirley Temple have anything on this doll?
Absolutely not!
Move over, Curly Locks...
there's a new girl in town.
Of course, Bella comes from good acting stock.  Her grandmother is the award-winning, Debbie of Talking Trash and her grandfather is the hunky leading man, Cat Daddy. How could Bella not become a star? Unfortunately, no one expected Bella's performance to run so long. All I can say is that ticket prices are getting high! According to Bella's agents, Mom and Dad, the costs of developing a star are astronomical! So what can you do to help beautiful Bella?  It's easy...
 
Just go to this blog
of this production company...

and buy a ticket!
No, not a theatre ticket...
a raffle ticket!
a spirited group of can can dancers,
have donated wonderful items as prizes
for the raffle!
Yes, you can can!
You can can help
if you buy buy buy!
Being presidents of the Bella Fan Club,
the Moonlight Hollow Girls have
donated some props to the big raffle!

For Bella, we have donated the following items:
---10 original Moonlight Hollow 
Greeting Cards with envelopes
---a stunning Southwest necklace 
featuring a beautiful cross
(matching turquoise earrings not pictured but included)
---a white, metal, rhinestone 
embellished spangle bracelet
---a big, chunky black bracelet featuring the word "LOVE"
(because we love you, Bella!)

See you at the raffle!
Tickets go on sale May 1st!

New pictures of
grand babies in the bluebonnets!
Believe it or not,
my wonderful son, Evan,
and his extraordinary wife, Elena,
took a 10 hour road trip to find
bluebonnets!

Tango thinks that bluebonnets are tasty!


Madisyn is being cute in the bluebonnets!
Unfortunately, Tango had a big
boo-boo on his chubby little cheeks!


Isn't Madisyn a precious girl?
Tango is running and making
a break for it!

Madisyn looking adorable!


Here is my little man, Tango!


Madisyn making a fashion statement!
Tango can cry anywhere

It was her little secret. No one knew about her past. Everyone commented on her wonderful talents as a hostess. No one ever imagined that Theresa got her hostess experiences in hot pants, lace up boots and in the wild blue yonder. Yes, it was true. Theresa not only flew United, she...

Righteous Purse!

I was leaving Warrenton...
loading stuff into my SUV...
carrying this super cool,
peace sign, pink purse...
when someone from behind said,
"righteous purse"!


Oh, joy...
someone from my generation
noticed my groovy handbag!



I quickly turned to see who recognized
the righteousness of my purse.

There she was...

a fellow child of the 60's...


...older than dirt!

She totally burst my righteous bubble!

Let's look at some other
righteous purses!

You can always find your way

made out of the real thing!

can't get far from our computers!

A pigskin pocketbook!

This purse just can't seem to
get ahead! :)


A modern day purse based on the old
tradition of women sticking money
in their bras!



What a cupcake of a purse!



Nobody is going to be messing
with this coin purse!



A butt ugly toad purse!



What is with the frog purse theme?
These are real bullfrogs!
Ribbit....zippit!

A poof of a purse!


A cocky purse!




This purse has legs to stand on!

in the 60's...
Peace brothers and sistas!

Fun With Friends and A Fantastic Award!

How do you have fun
on a sunny Texas day?


Start out with two wonderful hostesses...
Linda and Virginia!


Add one table full of vintage ephemera...
and everyday papers.

Virginia is Linda's blogging buddy...
and partner in craft crimes.

Karen is a partner in Moonlight Hollow
and paper artist deluxe!

No, Linda, I'm not eating paper...
I'm eating those dang good cookies
you forced me to eat so you wouldn't eat them!


See how all those pieces of
paper just turned into art?


Some better than others...
dang it!


Linda, thanks for hosting us at your beautiful home!
We had so much fun...lunch was great...
and did I mention those cookies?
Yum!
Virginia, get that blog up and going...
you can title it WHATEVER!
Check Linda's blog:
We are looking forward to the next work day, girls!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I am so honored to have received the Renee Award
I am especially honored because this award was
created for Renee, one tough cookie,
who is fighting stage 4 breast cancer.
This award was created by Renee's
friends, Bella and Ces.

Bella had the following to say about Renee:

"Renee is one human being who has made such a difference in the lives of many just by being. Her honestly, wit, intelligence, and grit are a tremendous source of inspiration. She can elicit raucous laughter and guffaws in her banter, and then turn right around and offer the most heartfelt, gentle words of wisdom and emotional support. She is a spreader of love,simple and true. And her love is infectious.

"This is a brand new award and I have the pleasure and honor of spreading the seed, watching it grow. I hope it finds its way to those who are like Renee: the acorn, a small package becoming a tall and sturdy oak, giving more acorns, becoming tall and sturdy oaks, giving acorns..."

Since I received the Renee Award, I am to pass it on to 8 blogs which share these characteristics with Renee. I am passing it to blogs which have helped this small acorn, Moonlight Hollow, grow into a tall and sturdy oak and which give other new blogs life and strength to grow. They are listed in no particular order as follows:

Debbie at Talking Trash

Cher at The Texas Woman

Mindy at Primitiques 'N Poetry

Sue at Just Practicing Random Acts of Kindness

Linda at Linda Jo's Obsessions

Theresa at Garden Antqs Vintage

Laurie and Lulu at 2Chippy's

Erin at Woman In A Window

Please check out all the blogs in this post.
They are all written by friendly, warm, nurturing women!
