The Sky is Falling








My good friends  Karen and Shirley put me on to the SCBWI challenge about the Sky Is Falling - a story I confess to having never read till two days ago. Very interesting....

If you are doing this challenge please feel free to leave a note. I would love to see your approach.

Of course me not being in the SCBWI could be a problem :) If you are in Oz and a member please let me know what it's like so I can be tempted :)

cheers from here 

Thank you for your visit!

Jack and the Bean Stalk




















Well the first Giant post was a little too child friendly for me. It made me feel all warm and cuddly.
So I thought, who deserves to get it today?
Answer: Jack!
You know, Jack wasn't just a thickhead (he sold his mum's cow for a couple of beans) he was a recurrent thief and a murderer.
In other words, just a typical everyday fairy tale hero.
Mind you, the Giant's wife was playing up as well.
Can't say I blame her.

While making these images I decided that I like Jack.
He's feeling pretty confident in this shot, running off with the bag o' gold.
Reminds me of:


Jack be nimble,
Jack be quick,
Jack jump over
The candlestick.

Wait till he gets tto the edge of the table and finds out his ladder has vanished ------
It's a big table. He might be a flat Jack when he hits the floor.


Interestingly Wiki tells me Fi fi fo etc is the equivalent of "Oh poo!".
Sort of puts a new light on the evil giant if he goes round saying "Oh poo! What is that smell?'"
I like the traditional version better.

Thankyou for looking again.
Tomorrow for me is blog visiting day. Watch out!
