  1. I couldn't just pick ONE favorite, so this will be one OF my favorites. :) But you must read the story that goes along with the picture of all the little kids. I personally think it is highly amusing. Just go to the link below:

    Love your blog! (I'm a longtime reader who rarely delurks, shame on me.)

    Oh, and a fellow Goonies freak. I dragged my mom to Oregon one year to see all the film sites.

  4. oh my gosh such an awesome giveaway! i actually just bought embroidery supplies yesterday to start doing this!! it would be totally perfect if i won this!

    so my favorite amusing picture comes from the etsy sellers, mixed species. they are a riot!! this "radicool" t shirt photoshoot reminds me of my boyfriend, who has the beer gut...and would totally fit in with them and do a crazy photoshoot with his friends.

  6. okay... my fav. picture ever is one that i saw a long time ago in an art gallery in santa fe, nm. it was like $3500 for a little 8x10. anyway, i have never forgotten it. the image was something like this: an open yard w/ a building far in the background, a marching band conductor is marching along wearing full uniform and carrying one of those stick thingies (not sure what they're called). and following this conductor is 8 or 10 laughing children marching in a line. i don't remember who the photographer was or the name of the photo, but it has continued to bring a smile on my face.

    merry christmas!! evan revsanford@gmail.com

  16. Hi Leigh-Ann,
    This is the first time I'm a guest on your blog and I LOVE IT!!!! You're such a creative and inspiring person!! And I'm also a great, great fan of Elsie, so here's my favorite picture!
    You can see it at my blog http://jenneke-justwhoiam.blogspot.com/ , you have to scroll to 26 december and then look at the picture of my parents and my children with the christmastree. I can't help smiling when I see this one, because of the glasses of my mother, my son in a box and my twindaughters who look so, so ugly on this photo...lol.
    My parents were killed in a car accident 6 years ago, my son is almost 25 now and my twindaughters are 2 gorgeous looking girls of 22.
    You can imagine why this picture means a lot to me!!!
    Lots of greetings from Holland!
    Jenneke

    -This is my favorite photo recently. My dd Meghi decided to play dress up with her kitten Miley and her (the kitten's) facial expression is priceless. She's simply saying, "Really?!"

    Thanks for the opportunity.
